Serhiy Poznyak, Lieutenant of the GNU, recorded this testimonial about @y-chornomorets.bsky.social in relation to his volunteer work supporting Ukrainian snipers. The Russians are in the middle of a major offensive right now in Ukraine! We need maximum solidarity and maximum support for snipers!

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

Yuri needs to collect $60,000 in total to pay for 10,000 Peterson cartridge cases in .375 caliber. The cases are loaded with gunpowder and bullets by technicians for use by the top long-range snipers in Ukraine. This is the technical edge for Ukraine. This is how victory is achieved. Please support!

Sigh. I see there's still a decent amount of dehumanizing language on here, especially "magat" and references to other people's subnormal intelligence. Guess my nighttime soporific ritual of muting or blocking accounts using dehumanizing language will continue. But the scale is small vs X.

From weekly cause of death data it's not clear what's driving this. Many causes show declining trends, including Cerebrovascular diseases and Influenza and pneumonia. Most of the effect seems to be driven by ill-defined/unspecified and "other causes" not broken down. (Trend excludes last 60 days.)

Updated StatCan excess mortality estimates are out today. Mortality rates in BC are still elevated, resulting in increasing cumulative excess mortality. At some point I would have expected to see effects of mortality displacement, but still no sign of that in BC.
