We were too unified. Democracy was too strong,” US President Biden said during a speech in Warsaw. #Ukraine #Biden #PrezBiden #News #War #Russia

https://t.me/Kyivpost_official/6741 ⚡️🇺🇸President Biden addressed the Russian people: “The US and the nations of Europe do not seek to control or destroy Russia. The West was not plotting to attack Russia, as Putin said today. This war was never a necessity. It's a tragedy. President Putin chose this war.” #Ukraine #News #War #Russia

Reddit: "My friend is in university and taking a history class. The professor is using ChatGPT to write essays on the history topics and the students need to mark up its essays and point out where ChatGPT is wrong and correct it."

Honestly, this is great! The students learn to check sources, discover that ChatGPT is unreliable, *and* can't use it to generate essay question answers for them, all at the same time!

Last RT:

Once again I think it's pretty hilarious that we know:

A) that the leader of the Proud Boys was an FBI informant

B) that the leader of the Proud Boys was in contact with a DC police department who more or less let a coup attempt happen.

But I'm still "crazy" for saying "I am pretty damn sure the FBI, and thus, loosely, the President, was running the Proud Boys."

But hey, it's not like I'm an expert of fascist paramilitary terrorism and Brownshirts or anything...

oh wait, I am.

I don't have a personality of my own, just a collection of autistic traits and trauma responses.

Many scholars are leaving Twitter for #Mastodon, a public, decentralized alternative, impervious to private take-over:

Scholarly organizations are already supporting this migration:

and

There are analogous solutions for another public good in private hands: journals. There are even levers the scholarly community could pull to incentivize an analogous migration:

What are we waiting for?

"Ron DeSantis isn’t really this dense—Yale, Harvard, QED. He’s just acting dumb because he thinks it’s politically smart. And in doing so, he has revealed quite a lot about what he might be like as a president." @amandacarpenter on his Fox interview: https://www.thebulwark.com/biden-went-to-kyiv-desantis-went-to-fox-friends/

I have butterflies in my stomach, an albatross around my neck, and a monkey on my back. Should I call a doctor or a vet?

LET'S BE CLEAR

Putin's speech today was tailored specifically to one audience - the misinformed Russian citizen

This was hopefully Putin's last attempt to reunite the USSR and become the most powerful Tsar in history.

Today Putin repeated his standard speech of blaming West, Ukraine, neoNazis. He didn't announce new mobilization, didn't call the "special military operation" - war.

His claims that West, NATO, Ukraine were going to attack 🇷🇺 - obvious and blatant lies aimed at his population.

Maybe the real social network is the friends we convinced to move to Mastodon along the way.

My wife informed me tonight that's she's giving up both Starbucks coffee and soda for Lent. I feel like I'm the one who's going to be tested over the next 40 days. #caffeine

Mike Pence literally said on Fox News last Thursday that he wants to "replace" Social Security with a "better deal." If you think the GOP's war on Social Security is over, you are kidding yourself. The GOP will never stop! My new CNN https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/20/opinions/mike-pence-social-security-obeidallah/index.html
