Please boost the above, the situation is dire.

Volunteers are frantically looking for motor boats to evacuate people currently waiting for rescue on roofs.

In the occupied area any official disaster relief is nonexistent, rashist forces dropped everything and ran away, and are blocking rescue attempts from land. There are reports of attacks on rescue boats. Volunteers are risking lives carrying people across the overflowing Dnipro to the right bank.

My wife is currently part of the coordination effort, there are hundreds of people *known* to still be waiting for rescue.

I'm doubt anyone is asking for money in this situation but it certainly makes things faster.

To make the interpreters work with the Cont monad, I had to remove recursive lets and hence, functions being able to call themselves recursively, but rest works.

The attached images show the conversion of the Fibonacci function into CPS version.

I forgot when I was taking this pic that water acted to diffract / concentrate light to form a little lens. There's a cute little world inside each raindrop!

I’ve been doing a little stock take of my #CrossBorderRail work…

In the past 12 months I have investigated:
131 cross border railways in Europe
Travelled 62716km on 425 trains
Cycled 1662km in 62 different places
Travelled 2191km on 20 buses

And there's more to come!

300 animals died today in the Nova Kakhovka zoo due to russia’s destruction of the Kakhovka HPP dam. This is ecocide. The russians want to destroy anything that is alive.

Russia will have to pay for the war crimes committed in Ukraine.

The destruction of the dam, an outrageous attack on civilian infrastructure, puts at risk thousands of people in the Kherson region.

Europe is mobilising support through our civil protection mechanism.

Of course friend, who's kinda conspiracy-theory/right-wing-media adjacent already, is using this as a "well, the CIA popularized the term to discredit activists" talking point now, even when presented with historical facts...
