Winter War in Ukraine: Russia’s Army Can No Longer Conduct a Large-Scale Offensive

It is not only a matter of combat losses and morale slippage due to military failure – the very nature of the ground force has altered, leaving Putin with a military instrument unfit for offensive operations.

Reminder: despite white people loving to quote the line from “I Have a Dream” abt individualistic things (judging people), most of the speech was abt systemic racism, incl things that continue to harm now—police violence, housing injustice,voter suppression, insufficient change.

So, let me try and understand something. Men in the Missouri House of Reps want women to cover their shoulders and wear an extra layer over their dresses. They are citing the fact that men cover themselves as a reason why. So, they want women to dress more like men.

That means they want women to be MORE like men.

Which means women and men, in their eyes, should be equal.

Fine. All things being equal, men of Missouri GOP, you have control over my uterus. When do I get control over your d***?

I made a recipe with left over chicken called "million dollar chicken"

It calls for cream of something soup and crushed ritz crackers. I feel like the name is somewhat lofty.

@rolle @ssfckdt I'm happy to say I've given up on the Birdsite and it's been so good. I've still got the account, not having someone squat the name if I delete it.

What amazes me though when I pop my head back in to see the mess is how many people still actively post there. I'm not going to go down the route of "twitter is evil" - that doesn't help - it's down to one man, not the majority of people who just wanted to use it to communicate - but it is disappointing to see.

I have nothing to say about this other than to describe it. It’s the view from the road on the way down to the beach near here. The sun wasn’t setting. It was only about 13:30hrs. However the sun is very low in the sky at this time of year. The clouds are coloured by the pale sun and the sea shimmers with the reflection of it. In the foreground is a grassy slope that goes down to the gate which we use to access the seashore. In the far distance is the Island of Rhum.

Hello Mastadon! I’m Kate, a field archaeologist currently looking into hunting strategy in the Scottish Mesolithic using experimental archaeology! I also do ancient craft and resin casting 😌 #archaeology #history #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #introduction

A couple of things I’ve been working on as part of a commission for a friend! Including:

2x small leather coin pouches (one with wooden beads, one with bone beads)

1x roe deer hide pouch/satchel for a glasses case

1x Mesolithic style amber pendant

Yesterday I finished God of War Ragnarök and I’m still in shock

(No spoilers, just general thoughts)

Yes, the ending was epic and yes it was emotional. But isolate those epic and emotional moments and they may not seem so big for some, but for me, I spent over 50 hours with those characters so the ending hit a lot harder than I expected. Especially the emotional part for me. It’s not that the ending was super sad, it’s much more subtle than that, but it’s in that subtlety that they got me.

Who knew the Taliban had a Missouri Chapter?

If they don’t like the new rule are women still allowed the right to bear arms … even though they can’t bear arms with bare arms?

Despite widespread pushback, Missouri Republicans just passed a new rule banning women lawmakers from wearing attire that exposes their arms.

This after they already passed a rule requiring women to cover their dress with a “second layer.”

@ProgGrrl @gregggonsalves this is an unserious country full of selfish toddlers, with a useless (at best) GOP House majority for the next 2 years.

Sketch for MLK's birthday. Every year we remember the pretty words he said, but we forget that the US declared war on him and the struggle for equality. #rnapper #watercolor #mlk
