A presidential reward. Putin has appointed Moscow district judge Anastasia Loskutova to a spot on the city's main court. Her rulings sent Navalny to jail multiple times. http://publication.pravo.gov.ru/Document/View/0001202301040002?index=0
@markvonwahlde @pkrugman I didn't suggest to use AA guns to shoot down missiles. I said drones. AA guns are plenty good for that.
Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.
This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.
If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.
I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.
Pro-Putin operatives in Germany work to turn Berlin against Ukraine
In Germany some are clamouring for a change in course on Ukraine. Key figures in the campaign have links to the Russian state or far right, a Reuters investigation has found.

@pkrugman these are all good points but the situation you describe absolutely need not remain static. Cheap AA guns is not some kind of alien tech. they have been around since WW1. they can and should be produced by the West and supplied to Ukraine to deal with the drones. also, they shoot bullets so the price of ammo will not be an issue with them. EW anti-drone weapons which don't consume ammo are another tool.

Not about economics or politics, at least directly, but I thought this was interesting and ties into how I've been trying to understand the Ukraine War 1/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/03/world/europe/ukraine-russia-drones.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage§ion=World%20News
@w7voa Elon unplugged something?

Multiple IPCC reports over decades, involving tens of thousands of scientists
Thats who
@ChristopherJM he still won't call it a war though. that would be admitting mistakes and Putin doesn't do that.
