ho'k...new thread.
Russian units are indeed still holding and reinforcing their gains north of Kyiv. Fresh Chechen units seen on video there.
Rumors that Belarus ABN troops are also being added to the northern front above Kyiv.
Mariupol is still surrounded and refusing to capitulate.
Not seeing any other movement on the southern or eastern fronts. Ukr still recovering or destroying abandoned Russian vehicles in both regions.
#Ukraine national bank publishes fund-raising accounts for direct support of Ukrainian military. https://bank.gov.ua/ua/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-spetsrahunok-dlya-zboru-koshtiv-na-potrebi-armiyi

My man slapped on his Under Armor, grabbed his rifle and helmet, and rescued a cat and a fish.
Because humanity...

@BlueStateBabe They are really *that* incompetent.
Adding yet another location where abandoned out of fuel Russian vehicles are being found, NW of Kyiv, where the Russian ABN got mauled.
They're so wedded and enamored by the "Thunder Run" concept by but they forgot a crucial detail.
Need gas or no run, no run no thunder.

Russian light recon unit broke through into Kharkiv. Got lit up by defense in depth.
It's good they were stopped.
It's bad that the Ukr lines there are thin enough now that the Russians found a weak spot.

Thinking frequently in recent days how grateful I am for the forward-thinking of our host and the priceless freedom from Russian manipulation we experience here.
The threat of misinformation abounds, but we can be confident that we are well-shielded.
AND we have the incomparable expertise of @Render to inform us of the Russian invasion.
So much #gratitude. There's no place like our home.
I'm very stressed out. Can't eat my dinner. Stole all the toppings of my kids' pizza.
The bird wants help. I wish it were a c-level but it's only senior manager, so my confidence is low. Nonetheless a savvy person could do some good for the world and the wrong person in the role could make everything worse. Thoughts, @th3j35t3r? https://careers.twitter.com/en/work-for-twitter/202007/senior-manager-information-operations-investigations0.html
Really? Give me a fucking break. If that is not the most diabolically un-constitutional way to weasel out of upholding 1st amendment rights.
Kentucky is apparently going to try to argue that the 1st amendment right to petition the government for a redress of grievances does not apply if the government being petitioned for redress is the same government accused of creating the need for redress. WTAF.
Gaaaah! I want to complain but I also don't want to and I kind of don't want to hear myself anymore. I can't describe it well. This year has just sucked so bad--but then what am I saying? My people in question have survived so far--even if damaged and by the skin of their teeth--and so many others have literally died. But the amount of pressure just feels crushing many days. I know it's not just me.
Here's a silly picture from better days gone by.
I'm so worried about our country.😞
I haven't been here in two years. Just...life stuff, I guess. COVID brought me back. It looks different. I'm like a stranger now.
I want to share this. Maybe it will save lives:

I advised my team to WfH the night I found out abt the Biogen cases last week--the night the news broke here in Cambridge/Boston. I'm more and more worried abt the general lack of taking this seriously.
Are we taking this seriously here? I hope so.
Plz (& thank u) read & share the article.

Assuming this was a fuck up...
I have seen a lot of fuck ups... the kind where ppl get fired immediately or where deaths are involved (construction, engineering, auto recall etc)
While no one thankfully was killed... this was an epically huge fuck up.
