This is a really big deal for long-term security assistance to Ukraine (and rebuilding US supplies)
US announces it'll expand its 155mm artillery production by 6-fold(!) over 2 years.

@viticci just installed it. it's definitely already better than the other Mastodon clients I tried ( I only tried a couple though). The interface is well thought out. I like easy access to lists and bookmarks.
Ivory by Tapbots is launching today.
This app marks the beginning of a new era for Mastodon clients on Apple platforms. It raises the bar in this category, but there’s still work to be done.
I reviewed Tweetbot 1.0 on MacStories in 2011; 12 years later, here is my review of Ivory 1.0:

@KyivIndependent this great news! but if Germany does this what would be their excuse for not giving Leopards directly? The old excuses were: "don't want escalation" and "will not go it alone". Both are out of the window now if they allow Poland to give Leopards to Ukraine.

The #RussiaReport called for a full investigation into Kremlin interference in British politics. The govt refused. Why?

@SocraticEthics kudos to Estonia! They understand that Ukraine needs the howitzers a lot more than Estonia itself right now.

Mom's voices
"Schools in #Ontario aren’t safe.
My 7 year old is 1 of 2 kids in her class who masks. December break: she had RSV and was SO sick — a fever for 12 days straight! Less than a month later she woke up with a cough and fever this morning.
➡️ My 7 year old can’t do this alone.
She needs (Public! Health!) policies in place to protect her:
- mask mandates
- #ventilation improvements
- access to PCRs
- science-based guidelines for return to #school"

Ella & Louis - They All Laughed
Fitzgerald and Armstrong is always a good listen.
Notably, as Taibbi has crafted his “Twitter Files” narrative, he has borrowed a few tactics that bear striking resemblance to those used by Russia, which begs the question: If he really believes that Russia’s influence tactics are ineffective, then why is he borrowing from their toolkit?
(Perhaps because he knows they’re actually quite effective tactics for manufacturing scandals out of relatively mundane leaked documents).

Tweebot eulogy…
“We’ve invested over 10 years building Tweetbot for Twitter and it was shut down in a blink of an eye.”
This paper analyses a key problem with the "we're overcounting COVID deaths" argument: there have been over 1.25 million excess deaths from February 2020 onward.
If not COVID, then what caused them, and why did it happen in concert with COVID waves?
Just a huge coincidence? 🤔
