There was an explosion in the suburbs of Dnipro.

If you upset an Emo, they'll go into their room and cry, writing bad poetry they'll post on Discord.
If you upset a Goth, they'll plot your demise.

The Prime Minister of Estonia, Kaja Kallas, recently joined the women of Saue in weaving camouflage nets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Kallas expressed her admiration for the women's generosity and willingness to teach her their craft.

Please stop using “mom” as an example of an unsophisticated user of technology. This reinforces harmful stereotypes.
Instead, I suggest using “congressperson”.
Because electricity is in such short supply Ukraine is struggling to change to LED lighting

To apply for a free exchange of light bulbs at Diia, please watch the video instructions. This exchange program allows you to switch out five regular light bulbs for five LED bulbs at your nearest Ukrposhta branch. Making the switch to LED bulbs will help reduce electricity consumption by up to 10% during peak loads.

In Ukraine, chicken eggs will be sold in a new way, with two classes: Class A and Class B. Class A eggs must be clean, with an intact shell, with a sedentary yolk without clear contours, and free of foreign odors. They will also be divided by weight into XL (very large), L (large), M (medium), and S (small). Class B eggs are all those that do not meet the quality of Class A.

Kyiv has purchased 12 mobile boiler houses to provide heat to social institutions such as hospitals, schools, and kindergartens in the event of a lack of heat supply. Each boiler is capable of continuously supplying heat for a week and refueling is done automatically. These boilers are made in Ukraine and are half the cost of European ones. So far, 50 schools and 20 medical institutions in the city have been equipped with alternative heat sources. Today, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko inspected the operation of one boiler house that was connected to the heating station of a school in the capital.

13. There is considerable evidence that GSI is not an organic movement of parents.
The GSI website features three testimonials from Michigan parents.
But the photos are not of Michigan parents. They are stock images available for purchase online.

They're overestimating DeSantis even more than they overestimated Jeb.

Utah forcibly detransitions all trans youth. I hope the ACLU or someone is on this.

if anyone wonders what it’s like to be a #caregiver doing #eldercare for ones #parents…
at the start of the yr, my #mother was hospitalized & caught #covid while an in-patient. my #father went to the #hospital 2-wks later, & caught covid while an in-patient. we avoided #SarsCoV2 for 3-yrs. but, half my #family was infected at the one place ppl should be able to trust & go to for help in an #emergency.
both of my parents are exp “brain fog” which should make my job more hellish. so, that’s fun
Good morning. It didn't get as cold as the weather witch doctors predicted. At 6 when I got up to refill the wood stove it was 21⁰F. That ought to throw off all the gradual warmup predictions and even the ones for the second cold front later in the week. It was supposed to be 15⁰

If Sunak wants us to 'Move On' from the Zahawi scandal, perhaps we should.
Perhaps we should 'Move On' to why he hasn't sacked Raab yet even though he has been formally accused of bullying by around 30 different civil servants from several departments.
Or perhaps we should 'Move On' to why the Home Office has lost over 200 child refugees from hotels while they were under their care.
If Sunak wants us to 'Move On', let's do exactly that. We have lots to talk about.
