2026 has arrived in Ukraine. As our President said: We want an end to the war – not an end to Ukraine. Thank you to everyone who stands with these words.

OK, I stand corrected. I just googled it, trying to find the sources, and all I could find is that my hypothesis is actually myth.

Author of article calls for adoption of robotaxis, despite having only data for one kind of robotaxis. Tesla had bad start with theirs. Second, as another commenter pointed out, tech industry is prone to enshitification. Meaning, this great dataset is just there to lure us in.

I did when I was elementary school kid, in Europe. Nothing bad happened, ever. from my kid perspective the worse experience was being forced to get out of the seat for older person. Again, it is cultural. USA culture is cruel, so Bob, you're right, kid on a bus in USA would be harmed.

Make sense, french words have way too many unnecessary letters per word. (Historically, that's because printing in France started with being paid by character, not word.)

She has the microphone. She has immunity. If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor. Silence isn’t caution. It’s a choice.

This message hits hard.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

If you’re wondering if this owl nests underground, yes it does. This Burrowing Owl takes a different approach than other owls. Here, it has claimed a culvert for its residence in a ag area west of #CorpusChristiTx. #Birds
This Burrowing Owl is standing guard over its culvert.  It has been loyal there for some time and I usually see it standing on my drives past that area.

House Republicans were on paid vacation for two months and couldn’t be bothered to come up with a real plan to stop costs from skyrocketing for 24 million Americans. Speaker Johnson won’t even hold a vote. Hard to escape the conclusion that they don’t care.

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
