If the West does not provide Ukraine with urgent assistance, Russia may be able to defeat Ukraine. We do not know where Putin will stop if he is successful, so it is important to send military equipment to Ukraine in the coming weeks.

After a night of silence, the aggressor shelled Nikopol in the morning, resulting in the death of a 53-year-old woman. There is a preliminary report of an 87-year-old pensioner being wounded with shrapnel, according to Serhiy Lysak, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration. Four multi-storey buildings, a water utility, and a college building were also damaged.

President Zelenskyy has imposed sanctions on 200 people connected to Russia, including 199 Russian citizens and one Ukrainian collaborator, Yuriy Chernichuk. These sanctions will last for 50 years and include a full package of personal restrictions.

@jbf1755 Oh, I don't know. I think it showed Joe Biden could handle the heckling. If they thought it hurt him, they were very wrong. If anything he got feisty and energized. They just looked bad and he came out shining.

PSA: Never store tape players with a tape loaded in them. VCR, Reel, Cassette, Data Storage.

The oxide sloughing from the media is bad enough on its own, but it never ends well for the pinch rollers, then everyone suffers.

YOU GUYS the best way to deal with your crazy conspiracy theorist acquaintances is to just be more crazy, like

“Did you know the earth is flat”
YOU: did u know that the earth is shaped like a giant burrito

“Did you know they faked the moon landing”
YOU: did u know they faked hawaii

“Did you know sandy hook was a false flag”
YOU: did u know your mom is a false flag

I haven't read all the books I've bought, but when a heavy bookcase is needed to barricade a door, I won't be the wasteful paranoid idiot then.

My kid is in a club at school, and they meet 4x a week for 4 hours. So all the parents chip in and stock a "snack cabinet" (granola bars, juice boxes, etc.) because teenagers are hungry goblins.
I went to fill the cabinet and noticed a padlock on it, apparently someone had been "stealing."
I admit, this triggered me.
I spoke to the coach and told him that perhaps he should talk to the kids and find out if one of them is food insecure instead of locking up some two dollar box of granola bars.
The look on his face, I could tell it kinda clicked, he didn't even think of that, just assumed it was some punk kid breaking rules.
People who grow up with wealth don't even realize that it changes the way they think. Luckily, he's a cool guy, and he was horrified that one of 'his kids' might be hungry at home. Sometimes it just takes one comment to open up someone's eyes to their privilege.

As I tell my own children: If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

Think of it as “inspiring erections”, rather than “being slutty”.
