The epidemic of falling out of windows strikes another prominent Russian. A unique decease. As was observed by @JFallows on twitter it affects **only** Russians.

t.me/pilotblog/1966 ⚠️🇮🇳 In India, the deputy of the Vladimir region Pavel Antov was found dead in the pool. Antov was the richest civil servant according to Forbes in 2019. A few days before Pavel's death, the deputy's companion died in the same hotel. The Consulate General of the Russian Federation does not see a connection between the two deaths. #Ukraine #News #War #Russia

Hey friends, I'm in solo isolation. I'm also a freelancer & there's no rest for the wicked so this weekend I'm working just like any other.

If you're having a tough time in the holidays and my soothing voice would help, I will happily give you one of my audiobooks of your choice, no questions, no strings. Just tell me which title you'd like & if you need a US or UK code.

💥​Increasingly clear the #Ontario #Conservative govt has a full-scale mandate in place to change Public to Private.
#Privatize and #monetize as many services as possible & do it as quickly as possible before Ontarians notice.
Private is more expensive than Public because it allows for profit. That profit will be determined by how much Ontarians are willing to pay from their own pocket.

Some inconvenient facts about immigrants that MAGAs hope you ignore:

•Seeking asylum is a legal & human RIGHT, protected by the US Constitution and the UN Convention on Refugees (to which the USA is a signatory)

•Both documented AND undocumented immigrants have LOWER crime rates than US Citizens (and usually higher vaccination rates too)

•Undocumented immigrants pay MORE in taxes ($12B annually) than Trump ever has or will (and get none of the tax benefits)

RT if you learned something new!

💥​ The #Ontario Provincial Conservative's UNDERSPENT the health budget by $3.5 BILLION in the first half of 2022.

The Ford government underspent our healthcare dollars, during a pandemic, but is currently asking the Federal government for more healthcare money ... with no strings attached. 🤔​

@johncarlosbaez is there an easy way to see why this agrees with the number of lattice paths definition given in the wikipedia article you linked? the article itself doesn't explain why they are equal.

" is a nation that, through poor planning, is located right next to Russia. This is unfortunate because Russian President Vladimir Putin, a man who relaxes by putting kittens into a food processor, has long wanted to establish closer ties with Ukraine, in the same sense that a grizzly bear wants to establish closer ties with a salmon." toot.community/@YusufToropov/1

I finished listening to All the Pretty Hoses by Cormac McCarthy. 5 stars. The man can certainly write.

But I do wonder. Does he have *any* books which are not relentlessly bleak? Anything with what may be construed as a happy ending?

💥​Ford's #Conservative govt. ended full access to #OHIP funded telemedicine to pave the way for #private telemedicine services such as MAPLE. (Shoppers Drug Mart is a stakeholder)

Your doctor consultation fees for Maple are NOT covered by the #provincial government.

So, what is the cost per visit via text, audio, or video to receive your diagnosis or prescription?

👉​ $69 per visit

or $30/month for a yearly subscription.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

@undefined @qbit those everyday people are ultimately responsible for the war. It's not just Putin. they don't protest and many support the war. they made a pact with Putin: they let him do whatever he wants politically and he provides a certain level of living. now the pact is broken and the bill is coming due. Public discontent, particularly in Moscow can move the needle on Russian elite's attitude to the war, even Putin's attitude.

On Christmas Eve Putin says he’s “ready to negotiate.”
Having “negotiated” w/ Russian military & Defense Ministry I learned lessons: Even in small things, RU officials don’t negotiate…they demand, then they lie, and then they renege on agreements.

@tomruen it's really bad with anything math related. it misstates theorems and definitions constantly. I played with it a while back and found many examples. and it can't do even most basic math computations. E.G.:
