  1. I acknowledge your point as valid, but Russia is callously killing civilians including children instead of targeting purely military targets, so Ukraine needs to take out militarily whatever it can when it can, even if not an ideal target.

  2. Ukraine takes out legitimate targets of war while Putin kills children, bombing homes, schools, train stations. As long as Russia keeps killing people Trump will claim that upsets him, BUT instead of putting increasing pressure on Putin, Putin thinks Trump will try instead to force peace on Ukraine.

  3. Of course stupidly redder than red MS's governor "Tater Head" Reeves, is still offering huge tax break incentives for data centers to relocate to the poorest of poor states, where many already struggle to pay soaring energy costs. @nukularbiskits.bsky.social stateline.org/2024/04/30/s...

    Lawmakers in several states are rethinking massive subsidies they've offered to lure data centers, as the costs balloon and they consider how to cope with the growing electricity demand.

    States rethink data centers as ‘electricity hogs’ strain the grid • Stateline

  4. I was close to a devotee, BUT the morning that Joe & little wifey announced having taken their kiss the ring visit to Trump's abode of iniquity, I have never watched again. Personally I don't miss his boring sports interruptions & monologues. I now watch BBC in evenings & rarely turn on morning TV.

  5. I'm appreciative because did not know ofPersepolis. I recently tried reading a very popular children's graphic novel series & after 6 books in I decided "graphic novels are not for me," so I was a bit wary about a graphic novel, but this one is excellently done. [The Amulet series, I think 8 books]

  6. Interspersed in the movie's plot is George Orwell who is writing Animal Farm at the time, a book critical of Stalin. It didn't dawn on me immediately, but "Mr. Jones of Manor Farm" is part of the first sentence in Animal Farm. The Ukraine famine is called the Holodovor. A memorial is in D.C.

  7. It turns out that one of the film's characters is George Orwell! The film though is largely about the journalist who first reported on the famine in the Ukraine, killing millions of people, and brought about by Stalin's imposition of collective farming on them & robbing the Ukraine of its grain.
