This is the monument to the citizens of Lviv who fell during the 1979-1989 War on Afghanistan.

So of all the AI platforms out there, I've used many, and I absolutely love Anthropic's Claude 3.7.

"Ukrainian" Whats in a name?
The story of the term "Ukrainian" is deeply intertwined with the development of Ukrainian national identity.

In my 15 years on Twitter I witnessed a rabid onslaught of hate from both members of the Right and members of the Left. Is the same going to happen on @bsky.app? This whole deal with rabid leftists attacking Politico writer Michael Kruse doesn't give me good vibes.

Yesterday was the first day of winter here in Ukraine and the power company has already told us that blackouts will continue throughout the winter. They may get shorter, however they could also get longer with more attacks or worsening weather.

Are all Russians bad? No, it only depends. My 2 month old son's godmother was born and raised here in Lviv. Her parents are Russian and she was raised here and by her Russian grandmother . She's married to a Ukrainian soldier who was wounded.

I love when Musk's toxic trash comes here, gets banned and then goes back to Musk's platform of hate to cry about no free speech on Bluesky. Bluesky is free speech without hate.

Yesterday was Oleksii's big day. It was his baptism in a Ukrainian Orthodox Church here in Lviv. In the US this is usually a short event, especially in protestant churches. This baptism ceremony took 48 minutes and 37 seconds and I took no part in it, his godparents did.

In fact speaking of the farm house I rented, here it is. It was built in 1815 in Culpeper County, Virginia. It sat on 154 acres of land and had 19 Norwegian fjords and a quarter horse there. It was a sweet deal, $1250 per month knocked down to $850 / month if I fed the horses twice per day.

In a past life I was heavily involved with horses. This is one of the 19 Norwegian Fjords that resided on the farm where I rented the farmhouse.

I'm far from my usual toxic self here. I'm more laid back and family oriented when I don't have to constantly fight Russian and Maga propaganda. Here I just relax. I also get to follow some anthropologists and scientists that have moved here from X

It's slowly creeping towards winter here in Ukraine. Woke up this morning to temperatures of -2C (24F). I grew up in the sweltering hotbox that is Virginia. You would think that I would hate the cold but as I've grown older I actually prefer the cool weather.

I've decided to move to BlueSky to get away from the hate machine that Twitter has become under Musk. If Trump wins it will just become worse. Here I will focus more on everyday life in Ukraine, writing, my love of games, and travel.
