For the idiots who still don't get #Putin after 24 years in charge of an expansionist russian colonial empire (aka russian federation), if they start calling him now, without simultaneously INCREASING military supplies to #Ukraine as winter sets in, and doubling down on #sanctions as russia+DPRK #fascism is strengthened, Putin will interpret those calls as proof of a successful campaign of #terror, sabotage and subversion, and intensify his colonial imperialist #war
So why are YOU?

Our #Introduction: We are an international collaboration of scientists working to detect and study #GravitationalWaves
We made our first observation in 2015, and working with our colleagues in Virgo and KAGRA, have now produced a catalog of gravitational waves from the coalescence of black hole and neutron star binaries
We're currently undergoing commissioning ahead our fourth observing run, when we hope that detections will become an everyday occurrence
We're happy to join #Astrodon
Back in the 90s when I used AOL, Wired magazine had a forum. One day a new user arrived and said she was married to Elwood Edwards, who was the voice that said “You’ve Got Mail!”. So we suggested a bunch of other things he should record in that voice— “You want fries with that?”, “You’ve got credit card debt!”, etc. He recorded them! You can listen to them here: http://www.aolsucks.org/aolsound.htm

And finally, I have put my #Dungeon23 into a book!
This book contains all the rooms from the challenge last year, with added maps over all the regions and the cave, and data for the monsters and NPCs for the Dragonbane system. It is a heavy tome with 430 pages, and an equally heavy PDF, since everything is images, not text.
You can buy it at DriveThroughRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/487869/The-Moon-Under-the-Mountain
Thanks to everyone here who said nice things during the process.
A new study of 83,000 adults found that standing for more than 2 hours a day not only doesn’t protect against cardiovascular risks, but it heightens an individual’s risk of circulatory problems.
The rise of standing desks is a result of what I like to csll “wet streets cause rain” style analysis.
Because people who sit around a lot are usually unfit, people decided the fix was standing around a lot instead of physical activity.

#silentsunday is a privilege.
I know a horrifyingly vast number of people in education circles who are all-in, gung-ho about AI.
How do you teach environmental studies while you are supporting catastrophic waste of water & active global warming?
How do you teach kids that plagiarism is wrong when you are promoting plagiarism?
How do you teach kids that consent is important when you are promoting the wholesale non-consensual unpaid theft of original creators works?

I wonder how surprised will westerners be when the war extends to central Europe. 🤔
While the attack on Ukraine is 100% russia and russian fault, I think that the extension of this war shall be mostly the fault of westerners. Which would be very ironic, because the next russian expansion will happen due to, not despite of slow military support that the West is providing to Ukraine!
