I'll just leave this here for those that wish to read about it.

This afternoon I cycled to the Don River in the heart of Toronto to see if I could catch some salmon doing the annual run, swimming upstream over rapids and dams to get to their birthplace to spawn. I was lucky. This grab is upstream to the falls which was too crowded, so I found this secluded spot.

Pentagon is reviewing it's use of fake accounts to promote war in Ukraine and elsewhere. Apparently FB caught some and removed them. Yay!

A US Navy corruption story, you've probably never heard of. One should have many questions as to what actually happened, after reading the story.

The rhetoric coming from western media, doesn't really match the events on the ground. The Russians gave up territory that was lightly defended in what is called a strategic retreat. Ukrainian troops didn't fight their way in.

Just listened to yet another piece on
🔥 disrupting tech
🔥 on an urgent topic
🔥 from a startup 🌈🦄
Could journalists who do these pieces at least *try* to be a *little* critical and ask questions rather than just copy the PR material?
🙌 If any company says they have very new, bleeding edge technology, chances are people have worked on it before, it may even be 20-odd years old and one part just recently became cheaper or improved. That's fine, it's still a biggie. Just be honest about it and acknowledge that tech is incremental.
☝️ If a company - especially a start-up - says "We're gonna be market ready next year!" - especially when all they have so far is a "lab prototype™" - that market readiness next year is horse poo.
⚡ If they say something along the line of "we're definitely going to be successful because we took this electrobrontotricafibulator from space-fusion-AI-tech and use it for X", then at least do more research on the thing than just looking up its correct pronounciation. Chances are there are half a dozen big caveats and it's certainly not a sure thing. Have the courage to contact someone else (unaffiliated) in the field.
</rant> Thanks for reading.
We have an Energy System that doesn't serve People or Planet - Market fundamentalism has caused the problem + denied #EU the possibility of a rapid response. And we should end self defeating Sanctions that haven't stopped the War but are hurting people of Europe more than Putin.

Neither side behaves well in War - Pretending it's all goodies and badies is nonsense...
RT @EvaKBartlett: Just back from the site of a Ukrainian massacre today just after noon, western Donetsk.
It was horrific. Chunks of flesh littered the street 10s of metres from the mangled bodies still lying there. Part of a hand lay on the road, also a foot. 13 killed in the area, 9 where I saw

Following are questions the Russian Federation wants answered vis-a-vis the United States biological experiments conducted on the territory of #Ukraine:
◽️ Member States of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) attended Russian-led conference in Geneva from September 5 to 9 held due to the violation of the articles I and IV of the abovementioned Convention by the U.S. and Ukraine.
◽️ The Ministry of Defence of Russia has analysed the data of U.S. and Ukrainian representatives' speeches, the working documents of the member States, joint statements and the outcome document of the conference.
◽️ The Russian Federation has raised over 20 questions related to the illegal activity of Kiev and Washington within the BTWC. Here are some of these questions.
◽️ What was the reason for choosing the pathogenic microorganisms examined in Ukraine within the Biological Threat Reduction Programme and why was the range of the studied pathogens not related to current healthcare problems as, for example, Tap-6 project dedicated to examining agents of glanders that had never been recorded at the territory of Ukraine?
◽️ How shout the accumulation of most dangerous infections' strains and sending them to other countries contribute to improving the situation related to the contagious morbidity?
◽️ Why was the main emphasis made on examining the natural focal and most dangerous infections that, according to the lists of the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, are considered possible agents of biological weapons?
◽️ What researches that supposed using agents of contagious diseases and toxic substances were Ukrainian servicemen and mental patients involved in, being one of the most vulnerable categories of citizens?
◽️ Why do the U.S. and Ukraine obscure the military-biological cooperation in international reports under the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC), while the U.S. has been blocking the development of its verification mechanism since 2001?
◽️ The participants of the conference received the copies of genuine documents previously mentioned by Russian Defence Ministry, as well as the physical evidence that proved the implementation of works within military-biological programmes' in Ukraine.
◽️ There was no delegation that doubted the authenticity of the presented documents, including those related to the accumulation of pathogenic materials in Ukrainian laboratories counting the Mechnikov Anti-Plague Institute.

Elixir Makeup is a very nice package to colorize code blocks! It currently only works for HTML but as a weekend project I've been trying to create a terminal formatter! It seems to be a relatively easy task, so maybe in a couple days it will be ready!
The code is in this branch, although it is not ready yet... https://github.com/hochata/makeup/tree/feature/terminal-formatter/
