This is all from the Washington Post who normally does everything that they can to back up the broken #Ukraine narrative:
DNIPROPETROVSK REGION, Ukraine — The quality of Ukraine’s military force, once considered a substantial advantage over Russia, has been degraded by a year of casualties that have taken many of the most experienced fighters off the battlefield, leading some Ukrainian officials to question Kyiv’s readiness to mount a much-anticipated spring offensive.U.S. and European officials have estimated that as many as 120,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or wounded since the start of Russia’s invasion early last year, compared with about 200,000 on the Russian side, which has a much larger military and roughly triple the population from which to draw conscripts. Ukraine keeps its running casualty numbers secret, even from its staunchest Western supporters.
I actually do not endorse the numbers that the US/EU officials are putting forward here, with a 1.2 to 2 ratio that favors the Ukrainians. I think that even when they are trying to be honest about painting the dismal picture, they will still lie to us. I would be surprised if the ratio is anywhere near favorable to the Ukrainians -- I would be ecstatic if I was a Hohol to hear that the ratio is even 1:1.
Statistics aside, an influx of inexperienced draftees, brought in to plug the losses, has changed the profile of the Ukrainian force, which is also suffering from basic shortages of ammunition, including artillery shells and mortar bombs, according to military personnel in the field....
“And there are only a few soldiers with combat experience,” Kupol added. “Unfortunately, they are all already dead or wounded.”
For some even tastier tears:
Such grim assessments have spread a palpable, if mostly unspoken, pessimism from the front lines to the corridors of power in Kyiv, the capital. An inability by Ukraine to execute a much-hyped counteroffensive would fuel new criticism that the United States and its European allies waited too long, until the force had already deteriorated, to deepen training programs and provide armored fighting vehicles, including Bradleys and Leopard battle tanks.
It's interesting to think that even the experts here posit that the great opportunity for the Ukraine was to win with a strong counteroffensive... But no such counteroffensvie could ever exist meaningfully against the Russians who predictably just brought to bear their far superior numbers.
From this point there are some funny statements in the article - for instance, the idea that Russia is experiencing WWI levels of casualties, but you still get glimpses of the real picture behind the paragraphs inserted to shore up the pro-Kiev narrative:
Ukraine has also faced an acute shortage of artillery shells, which Washington and its allies have scrambled to address, with discussions about how to shore up Ukrainian stocks dominating daily meetings on the war at the White House National Security Council. Washington’s efforts have kept Ukraine fighting, but use rates are very high, and scarcity persists.“You’re on the front line,” Kupol said. “They’re coming toward you, and there’s nothing to shoot with.”
This is normally something that they would ever publish about Russia.
There might be real change on the horizon for the US policy towards the Ukraine - the state media apparatus is warming people up to the idea of cutting their losses and moving on.

Ravier faces trial tomorrow in the criminal court of Marseilles on charges of incitement to discrimination, hatred, or violence. The case is based on a tweet, on January 11, 2022, in which Ravier reacted to the murder of a teen in Paris by a 62-year-old man from Senegal.He tweeted “Theo, 18 years old, murdered yesterday by a Senegalese [migrant]… Immigration kills the youth of France.”
A complaint was filed by the International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (Licra) and the League for Human Rights (LDH) against Ravier over allegations of spreading hatred toward migrants.

Absolutely wonderful to see the Pope actually stand up for Christianity for once:
Pope Francis condemned transgender ideology in a recent interview, declaring that it is “one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations.”The pontiff, who was born and raised in Argentina, spoke with the Argentine newspaper La Nacion last week, in advance of his 10th anniversary of assuming the papacy.
When asked if he “had been asked to write a document on the subject of gender,” Francis responded that while “no one” had requested that he create such a document, people always seek “clarifications” on the Catholic Church’s views on the matter.
The term "gender ideology" is often defined as a set of beliefs that characterizes gender as a social construct, not based on one's biological sex, and rejects the gender binary of male and female. It is often associated with the LGBT movement.
I think a lot of people have become confused with what the Catholic church really means because they tend to emphasize his statements when he is engaging with pastoral care.
“I always distinguish between what pastoral care is for people who have a different sexual orientation and what gender ideology is,” he said. “They are two different things. Gender ideology, at this time, is one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations.”
Great further clarification:
Francis said he views gender ideology as “dangerous,” lamenting that “it dilutes differences” between men and women. He described “the tension of differences” as “the richness of men and women and all of humanity” and stressed that “growing through the tension of differences” constitutes an important part of humanity.

Last Friday, Ukrainian officials told the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to vacate the 980-year-old Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery complex in the embattled nation's capital, according to Reuters.The denomination has been given until March 29 to obey the order. Although the UOC has historical ties to the Russian Orthodox Church, it severed its ties with the Moscow patriarchate last year in response to the Russian invasion.
In a statement, the Ukrainian culture ministry claimed that UOC "violated the terms of the agreement regarding the use of state property" but didn't say how. The UOC contends it is a victim of a political witch hunt.
There's no rule of law in the Ukraine - don't hold your breath waiting for them to provide the rationale.

I have very far right ideas, but I am also inclined to pacifism because Christ commands this of me... I believe that we are all made in the image of Christ, and while some people will inevitably choose to be ignorant, we can have hope for them since they are made as rational beings with the capacity to change...
I just don't believe in winning by violence since it is also the case that people are getting what they deserve from their own poor choices, and so it is a sort of fate by God...

많은 사람들은 챗GPT의 하드웨어를 궁금하는 것 같은데요...
GPU를 주력으로 생산하는 엔비디아는 챗GPT가 불러온 AI 붐에서 가장 큰 혜택을 입었기 때문이다. 챗 GPT 개발사인 오픈AI가 사용하는 수퍼컴퓨터에도 엔비디아의 1만달러짜리 GPU ‘A100′ 1만개가 사용된 것으로 알려져 있다. 챗GPT와 경쟁하는 기업들도 엔비디아의 GPU을 몇 개 썼는지 밝히는 것을 경쟁력으로 내세울 정도다. GPU는 원래 그래픽 처리를 위해 만들어진 반도체지만, AI에 필요한 병렬 연산에서 기존 CPU(중앙처리장치)보다 월등해 AI의 두뇌로 각광받고 있다.
여기서도 다른 재미있는 점은 지금 반도체 시장의 경쟁율 입니다:
엔비디아에 이어 GPU 시장 2위인 AMD는 지난해 2월 500억달러를 들여 미국 반도체 기업 자일링스를 인수했다. 자일링스는 용도에 따라 설계를 바꿀 수 있는 FPGA(프로그래머블 반도체) 분야의 세계 최고 기술을 갖춘 기업으로, AI반도체 개발에 최적화돼 있다는 평가를 받는다. 인텔도 2019년 말 이스라엘 AI 반도체 스타트업 하바나랩스를 20억달러에 인수한 후 지난해 5월엔 하바나랩스가 개발한 2세대 프로세서 ‘가우디2′를 출시했다. 시장조사업체 옴디아는 “대형 IT·반도체 기업들이 엔비디아에 AI반도체 시장을 잠식당하지 않기 위해 올해 최소 두 개 이상의 유망 AI 반도체 스타트업을 인수할 것”이라는 전망을 내놨다.
그래서 우리가 스타트업의 중용성이 여기서 확실히 보입니다. 대기업들은 계속 자기의 기술을 혁신하지 않으면 엄청 빠르게 시장의 점유율을 잃어버릴 수 있으니까 사내에 기술을 빨리 발달하지 못 하면 어쩔수없이 타사를 인수해야합니다.
이런 것 도박하는 것처럼 이죠. 만약에 성공하기가 힘들 수 있으니까 사내 R & D 많이 개발해야합니다.

♲ @rrm00@diasporabr.com.br:Countries will realize that World War III has begun when missiles start raining down on their homeland
12 Mar 2023 - 17:57But by then it will be too late!
Since Joe Biden entered the White House, relations with both Russia and China have been steadily swirling and it looks like the military could soon be forced to fight both at the same time.
In Russia, regular television programs were interrupted by a message telling viewers to take their antiradiation pills and head for the nearest bomb shelters.
Russians were warned yesterday to take their anti-radioactive pills and rush to their nearest nuclear bomb shelters after hackers hacked into state television servers to broadcast chilling messages.
Was it hackers or a surprise drill? It was certainly an exercise before the reality of the nukes.
TV and radio programs in Moscow and the Sverdlovsk region, including the city of Ekaterinburg, were interrupted with an alarming message telling citizens that a missile attack had taken place on Russian soil.
The population was urged to take potassium iodide pills, wear gas masks to protect themselves and seek shelter.
But the truth is that we will all need anti-radiation pills if this madness does not end.
Both sides just keep escalating things. On Thursday, the Russians hit Ukrainian cities with their biggest missile attack in weeks.
Ukraine's armed forces chief said Russia fired 81 missiles into Ukrainian territory Thursday morning, including six supersonic "kinzhal" missiles that its air force cannot intercept.
Kiev's mayor Vitaly Klitschko said the capital experienced a series of explosions that damaged energy infrastructure and injured several civilians. In his most recent Telegram post, Klitschko said that due to extraordinary power cuts following the missile attack, 40 percent of the capital's consumers are now without heating.
Russia had not used Kinzhal supersonic missiles since the early weeks of the war.
These missiles are absolutely devastating because they can fly at speeds that are absolutely breathtaking.
The Kinzhal, unveiled by Russian President Vladimir Putin five years ago, can accelerate to Mach 4 - four times the speed of sound - and can reach speeds of up to Mach 10, with a range of about 1,250 miles. The missile is also believed to be nuclear powered.
An even more sophisticated weapon, the Russian Avangard supersonic glide vehicle, can fly at speeds of up to 27 Mach, according to the Kremlin. Another supersonic, the Zircon anti-ship missile, has also been deployed, but there are no reports of Zircon or Avangard being used in combat.
The US has poured nearly $200 billion into this conflict so far, but the Russians continue to gain more ground.
Even with all the help we've given them, the Ukrainians are simply outmatched, and at this point even Ukrainian news sources openly acknowledge the reality of what has happened in places like Bahmut.
The Kyiv Independent recently interviewed soldiers on the front line and issued a surprisingly blunt assessment (given that it's obviously a news source on the Ukrainian side) that Ukrainian soldiers are largely " unprepared, poorly trained battalions thrown into the front-line meat grinder to survive as best they could with minimal support from armored vehicles, mortars, artillery, drones and tactical intelligence."
If politicians on both sides and their families really had to fight these wars, they would end the war very quickly.
I think things could soon go to a whole new level.
Once they lose Bahmut, the Ukrainians will become very desperate and may end up doing something really stupid.
Speaking for the foolish, highly respected journalist Seymour Hersh says the Biden administration's approach to Ukraine is "very scary and very foolish."
Do they really want to get NATO into a war? No doubt we've increased the number of U.S. troops in Poland, secretly, and they're deploying a lot more weapons in that region. I suppose they may push NATO to make a physical presence.
An increasing presence of Russian submarines off the coast of the US.
As Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine continues to rage, U.S. commanders and military observers are sounding the alarm about Russian submarine fleet activity thousands of miles away off the U.S. coast.
Throughout the war, which began when Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine last February, there has been a buildup of Russian naval forces in the Black Sea. There has also been a growing presence of Russian submarines off the U.S. coast and in the Mediterranean, according to officials.
Meanwhile, one of the Chinese military's top officers publicly said it is time to "concentrate our efforts on preparations for war."
Stressing the urgency of Beijing on Sunday, one of China's two most senior military officers, Zhang Youxia, called on the People's Liberation Army to "concentrate its efforts on preparations for war."
If the Chinese did not intend to invade Taiwan, they would have no reason to prepare for war.
But the truth is that they know they are going to invade, and they also know that it will mean war with the United States.
Of course, the US military is quickly preparing for such a conflict. The following comes from a very interesting article in The Economist about US preparations for a war with the Chinese.
The Marines are training for a war with China, probably precipitated by an invasion of Taiwan.
Their base in Okinawa, at the southern tip of the Japanese archipelago, is just 600 kilometers (370 miles) from Taiwan. The two islands are part of what U.S. military planners call the "first island chain": a series of archipelagos and islands, large and small, stretching from Japan to Malaysia, blocking naval passage from China to the Pacific.
Whether carrying Chinese ships at a distance or - far less likely - deploying to Taiwan to help repel a Chinese invasion, the Marines will be involved early in any conflict.
Before I end this article, I want to make sure no one forgets the Middle East.
War is coming there too, and it will be absolutely terrible.
Things are so tense in the region right now, and we have just witnessed horrible statements that portend catastrophic war.

These numbers are nuts:
Corporations such as "Cargill", "DuPont" and "Monsanto" (which is formally a German-Australian company, but essentially an American one) are among the most prominent owners of Ukrainian arable land. In addition, corporations like "Vanguard", "Blackrock" and "Blackstone" are among the largest shareholders in the aforementioned agricultural giants, owning trillions in assets. For instance, "Blackrock" is a fund that manages assets worth over $10 trillion, with "Vanguard" controlling at least six and "Blackstone" managing up to $1 trillion. Together, the three massive US multinational corporations ("Cargill", "DuPont" and "Monsanto") own over 17 million hectares of Ukraine's arable land.In comparison, the whole of Italy has 16.7 million hectares of agricultural land. In short, the three American corporations own more usable agricultural land in Ukraine than what the whole country of Italy has. The entire area of Ukraine is approximately 600,000 square km. Out of that land area, 170,000 square km have been acquired by foreign corporations, the vast majority Western, particularly those based in or financed by the US. Since the new law on the sale of agricultural land passed by the Kiev regime entered into full force approximately one year ago, to this day, the three large multinational consortia financed with US capital have acquired well over a quarter of Ukrainian arable land. A report by the Australian National Review states that the three US corporations managed to acquire 17 out of the 62 million hectares of agricultural land in less than a year. This made it possible for them to control 28% of the total arable land in Ukraine.
Now you know why they fight.
The Ukrainian people have not only been quite literally robbed of the lands their ancestors gave their lives for, but now they're effectively dying in battle to make sure this theft continues unabated.BRICS
One of the great ironies that nobody wants to acknowledge is that even American globalists would have to concede that Georgia, the nation, has a better chance of retaining its identity and culture if it is incorporated politically into Russia..!

LOL, the clarification here does not make me feel better:
The image being circulated includes links to a report in Newsweek, which discusses findings from a Russian NGO, and an article in the Times newspaper.The two figures from the two sources are not directly comparable.
The report discussed by Newsweek – authored by Agora, a Russian human rights group – found that 411 criminal cases were brought against internet users in Russia in 2017. The article does not give a figure for arrests.
In 2017 The Times made a Freedom of Information request which found 3,395 arrests had been made by 29 UK police forces for “section 127” offences, which is used for cases of online abuse. According to the article, 1,696 people were subsequently charged. Section 127 offences cover harassment that takes place via an “electronic communications network”, and is not limited to social media posts – harassment via email or other forms of online communication can also fall under this definition.
A tweet was recently circulated claiming that 3,300 arrests had been made in the UK for social media posts, while just 411 had been made in Russia.td_pa_admin (PA Media)

Honestly this is a rather interesting aside:
The Bishop who christened Meghan and Harry's daughter Princess Lilibet is a former newspaper editor and the chief of staff for disgraced former US president Richard Nixon.The Right Reverend John Harvey Taylor - the Bishop of Los Angeles - baptized the Sussex's 21-month-old at their Montecito home in California on Friday.
The christening of Lilibet saw her royal title of 'Princess' used formally for the first time, giving the first indication that the Sussexes will use the titles for their children.
The small ceremony - conducted by the man described as one of Nixon's closest confidantes, and who Nixon himself described as 'our House liberal' - was attended by between 20 and 30 friends at their Montecito mansion.
You don't expect that kind of a background for an Anglican Bishop.

We possibly have a serial rapist/killer among NHS staff in Blackpool:
Valerie Kneale, 75, had been sitting up and talking when relatives visited her at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.Her grown-up children wanted to stay the night with her but medics said there was no need.
However, then she suffered a devastating second stroke and never regained consciousness.
After a post-mortem examination, it was discovered that she had bled to death due to being assaulted, possibly sexually.
Despite detectives interviewing thousands – including ward staff, patients and visitors – no one has been charged with the murder. Now a £20,000 reward has been offered to catch her killer.
Detective Chief Inspector Jill Johnston, of Lancashire Police, said: 'This may be at the hands of somebody who is a predator and who may have committed previous attacks of this nature and may continue to do so.'
...
She died on November 16. But in a routine post-mortem test, a pathologist found she suffered a horrific internal injury and told the police. An inquest heard the pathologist 'felt' that Mrs Kneale's injury 'was caused by a forcible sexual assault after she was admitted to hospital'.
It's hard to imagine this happening to your loved one.

A message scrawled on the walls of a Pennsylvania high school claimed five white teachers would die if more black staff were not hired.The graffiti was found in a girl's bathroom at Upper Darby High School just outside of Philadelphia last month, alarming local parents who claim they were not informed.
'Y'all better start hiring some more black teachers or 5 white ones will die,' the message written on the wall of a girl's bathroom read.
The suspected teenage culprit will not be charged because they are developmentally challenged and there is a lack of evidence, police said.
I am not entirely against cutting some slack in these situations... But what do they even mean by developmentally challenged..? And to what extent is this kid getting the attention they need?
Why always throw the book.
Nonetheless, it's interesting and disturbing.

People laugh but this stuff isn't a joke.
Nearly 30 schoolgirls have been hospitalized with anxiety attacks after allegedly playing with Ouija boards at their school in Colombia.“There were 28 possible cases of anxiety in school students,” said Hugo Torres, head of the Galeras Educational Institution in Galeras, where the incident took place, per Jam Press.
According to the outlet, alarm bells went off after the girls reportedly suffered signs of fainting, anxiety and other symptoms at school. They were subsequently admitted to a municipal hospital accompanied by parents and school faculty.
Apparently they are using ouija boards in the school itself.

Very much agreed -I did it once, and I also did the stuff with cards and witch-girl saence stuff... It was frankly a bit unnerving both times in spite of nothing that odd happening.
Later I became entirely convinced that spiritual phenomenon is real, though, and so, yes, I am not in a hurry to do anything with this sort of stuff.
@J. Løvstuhagen My own view is that everything, the entire visible universe and all that is not visible, is "God thought", there is no real physicality to anything and thus physical laws are entirely mutable as God sees fit, but when God thinks something into existence such as ourselves, that something is not independent but is in fact part of God's mind, when God wants us to cease to exist he simply (and I use 'he' here not to infer a sexuality but simply as a pronoun of convenience for personhood), he simply forgets about us.
You may ask if everything is God thought then why does God allow evil, well first because Love still can only come of free will, and God wants love even if it's just a part of himself, so allows free will. If you give free will some are going to make good choices and some not so good. The latter is more likely for those unaware of their relationship to God and each other.
What I still wonder about is that when God thought (and I really think "Spoke" is misrepresentative of what God actually did since speech can only exist where there is atmosphere and before the Earth when God "spoke" it all into existence there was none so I think thought is actually what happened, what I wonder about sometimes is does he make the rules up as he goes along (physical not moral rules), or was everything set in stone when brought everything into existence. A lot that I have observed change in my lifetime has me believing the former, which is both terrifying and exciting at once since the possibilities of such a universe, for better or worse, are unbounded.
So as a consequence, I believe we are all connected, made of the same primeval stuff and we will return to that, but in the meantime we are all connected with everything, the edge that separates us from everything else is just an illusion and this is why all these freaky "spiritual" stuff exists.
And please understand this is just my personal theory of life the universe and everything, yours might be entirely different, and that is entirely okay, it may will be like Doug Adams says just "42". By the way if the meaning of that 42 eludes you, just represent '4' on one hands fingers as binary and '2' on the other and it should be come clear, if not do so in front of a mirror.
This is reality for a startling amount of people:
Married to a man in nearby Boya village in 2012, Lamay was anything but ‘sane’ to her in-laws. “I had not recovered from my illness. I would cry almost all the time and not eat. It didn’t take them too long to accuse me of practicing witchcraft and labelling me crazy.”The horrific account of her marital life entails multiple visits to an ojha (shaman), a sorcerer and a good witch capable of faith healing and ridding one’s body of ‘possessions’ and ‘spirits’.
Lamay recounts the torture she was subjected to during her treatment by the ojha. “He would hit me repeatedly with a chaabuk (whip) until my body bled. I would keep screaming in pain and agony but he wouldn’t let go of me saying that he was not hurting me but was beating the evil spirits out of me,” recalls Lamay.

In other places I've done my best to follow the Sri Lankan economic crisis, particularly since it could be more geopolitically relevant than people realize as it simultaneously flushes out the roles of regional powers like China and India.
... and here we are with China taking the lead on restructuring the absolutely massive Sri Lankan debt:
The IMF bailout process made slow progress due to the need to restructure Sri Lanka’s nearly 50 billion dollar external debt.A previous Chinese letter giving a two-year moratorium on debt repayment had been deemed inadequate by the IMF. Wickremesinghe said the IMF programme which will be there for over the next four years would be different from all of the previous 16 programmes with the Washington-based global lender. He said the government has to take many hard economic decisions in order to stabilise the economy and work towards growth. The government measures to order tax hikes, raise utility tariffs and end fuel subsidies had triggered political protests. “I would like to apologise to the people for the hardships”, he said. The IMF in September last year approved Sri Lanka a 2.9 billion dollar bailout package over 4 years pending Sri Lanka's ability to restructure its debt with creditors -- both bilateral and sovereign bondholders.
China owns about 20% of the Sri Lankan debt, so them having a big stay in how it is restructured makes sense.
China will be able to have Sri Lanka by the horns for the indefinite future, and maybe it is even the case that the Sri Lankans will get loans next time from the Chinese (and it'll be in Yuan!).

I don't know much or even anything about this current case of fraudulent financial statements being levied against the Trump empire, but I have heard some analysis that Ivanka is embarrassed by the rest of the Trumps, and she has no desire to be part of their next political campaign just like she has no stomach for the lawsuit.
That's fine by me.
Jared Kushner is not an interesting or skillful politician. I think there was even a conspiracy briefly in 2017-2018 where they wanted to portray Kushner as the brains behind the operation because it backed up the Jewish stereotype of goyim like Trump being incapable of holding their own without Jewish minders.
The further the couple gets away from Trump, the more appealing it would be to me.

The Army is bringing back one of its most successful ad campaigns with the 1980s and 1990s-era slogan – "Be All You Can Be" – as it looks to appeal to Gen Z.On Monday, the branch rolled out a new ad touting the slogan amid a slump in recruiting, as it recently came up 15,000 soldiers short of its goal of 60,000, Military.com reported.
We all know the reason is because many formerly excited red staters can think for themselves and just don't believe in serving the broken bureaucrats and devious deep state in Washington DC.
And good for them.

Actually rather surprised to see this:
The Russian front lines could collapse, warned Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin on his Telegram channel on Sunday, accusing the Russian Defense Ministry of cutting off his penal brigades from resupply. "For now, we are trying to figure out the reason: is it just ordinary bureaucracy or a betrayal," said Prigozhin.
That is certainly concerning when Pirghozin talks about the potential for the entire frontline to collapse.
But we do see some dubious analysis coming later on:
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian defenders “are continuing to inflict high casualties against the advancing mixed Russian forces,” according to the latest analysis from the Institute for the Study of War, which added that the Ukrainians are “likely setting robust conditions for a future Ukrainian counteroffensive.”“The Ukrainian defense of Bakhmut remains strategically sound as it continues to consume Russian manpower and equipment as long as Ukrainian forces do not suffer excessive casualties,” the ISW said. “Ukrainian forces are unlikely to withdraw from Bakhmut all at once and may pursue a gradual fighting withdrawal to exhaust Russian forces through continued urban warfare.”
... Again, imagine thinking that you are really able to keep up with the Russians as Ukraine in a game of attrition when it is already clear that senior brass have wanted you to wihdraw.
The Institute for the Study of War shows itself again as not a very serious study group, but a mouthpiece for the US State Department.
BACK ON DEFENSE FOR NOW: Just days after crowing that the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut was on the verge of falling, the head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group has appeared on a social media video complaining that a lack of ammunition has stalle…MSN
The new Israeli strike comes as the international airport in Aleppo is one of the main portals of entry for foreign airplanes carrying humanitarian aid to the victims of the country’s recent devastating earthquake.The Israeli act of aggression followed another strike earlier in February when the regime's aircraft hit the Syrian capital and areas around it, especially a number of residential buildings in Kafr Sousa neighborhood in central Damascus. Tal al-Masih near the city of Shahba, north of al-Suwayda in southwestern Syria was another target of that attack.
Syria's Health Ministry said five people were killed in the strike, including one soldier, while fifteen others were wounded, some of whom critically.

It's bad in the Ukraine:
During their brief visits to the nearby town of Kostiantynivka, Ukrainian infantrymen told the Kyiv Independent of unprepared, poorly-trained battalions being thrown into the front line meat grinder to survive as best they could with little support from armored vehicles, mortars, artillery, drones and tactical information.“We don’t get any support,” says a soldier named Serhiy, who has been fighting on the front lines in Bakhmut.
They say that Russian artillery, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers are often allowed to strike Ukrainian positions for hours or days without being shut down by Ukrainian heavy weapons. Some complained of poor coordination and situational awareness, allowing this to happen or making it even worse.
Mortarmen spoke of extreme ammunition scarcity and having to use weapons dating back to World War II. Drones that are supposed to provide critical reconnaissance information are also scarce and are being lost at very high rates in some parts of the battlefield.
All this leads to terrifying casualties of both dead and wounded. "The battalion came in in the middle of December… between all the different platoons, there were 500 of us," says Borys, a combat medic from Odesa Oblast fighting around Bakhmut. "A month ago, there were literally 150 of us."
“When you go out to the position, it’s not even a 50/50 chance that you’ll come out of there (alive),” says the older Serhiy. “It’s more like 30/70.”
Some more analysis of the battlefield:
Multiple soldiers say that they are under massive assault from both Wagner Group mercenaries and regular Russian forces.“There’s Wagner and there’s two brigades of airborne assault,” says Oleksandr, an infantryman from Sumy, who is part of a Ukrainian assault battalion in Bakhmut. “It’s rough. Constant waves, nonstop.”
Some have characterized the Russian attacks as huge waves of cannon fodder, while others say that the invaders’ tactics have evolved to keep up with the battlefield.
The older Serhiy says that the enemy likes to send a team of three or four expendable foot soldiers to attack and make the Ukrainians expose themselves by shooting at them. At that point, the more elite forces zero in on the defenders’ position.
Once they begin exchanging fire, the Ukrainians are struck with heavier weapons like Russian mortars and rockets from Grad multiple launch rocket systems or BMP infantry fighting vehicles and BTR armored personnel carriers with machine guns.
“They get the positions where we are, establish the coordinates, then they hit us from seven to nine kilometers out with mortars,” as well as from closer by with grenade launchers, says the older Serhiy. “They wait for the house to fall so we have to jump out. The building catches fire and then they try to finish us off.”
“Their birds come out and they chase us with fire,” adds the younger Serhiy, referring to Russian UAVs, like quadcopters and Orlan-10 fixed wing drones that spot distant heavy weapons. “They hit accurately.”
As Russians destroy more and more buildings, Ukrainians keep losing more places where they can reliably take cover. Borys the medic says people have been lost when their entrenched positions collapsed from heavy Russian fire, suffocating them.
“I’ll put it like this, we should get our people out because if we don’t take off, then in the next few weeks, it’s going to be bad,” says Oleksandr. A mortarman named Illia agrees that Bakhmut is “practically encircled.”
Iran has been plagued by a string of mysterious “mild” poisonings since last November, with the apparent attacks occurring at more than 50 schools across the country. More than 1,000 schoolgirls have been affected by the poisonings, triggering protests by parents and prompting some to take their children out of school altogether.
Naturally, the Supreme Leader has condemned it.
Last week, President Ebrahim Raisi suggested the poisonings might have been carried out by the country’s enemies conspiring “to create fear and despair in the people” and urged the interior ministry and intelligence groups to ramp up efforts in apprehending those responsible.Earlier, the Deputy Health Minister Younes Panahi suggested hardline religious groups who oppose women’s education, might have had a hand in the affair. “It was found that some people wanted schools, especially girls’ schools, to be closed,” he commented without elaborating.
It'll be interesting to see if it is ever solved.

They really let you know who calls the shots in Atlanta in terms of security:
However, a spokesperson for the same office later said that the YFN trial had been pushed back due to security issues. District Attorney Fani Willis stated last year that the war between the two street gangs resulted in at least 50 shootings and multiple murders; according to the spokesperson, the prospect of both street gangs in the same courthouse at the same time drove the decision to delay.Other law-enforcement sources make similar claims. “Providing security for the YSL trial is a priority that requires the deployment of resources from various Fulton County Sheriff’s Office units,” a sheriff’s office spokesman said in a statement to RS. “Because some of the defendants are housed in other counties, the security protocol also involves daily coordination with other agencies regarding transportation and courthouse security. Due to the unprecedented nature of this trial, we are constantly assessing security and making the necessary adjustments to ensure the safety of those involved and the courthouse complex as a whole.”
The city has a massive crime problem but doesn't have the budget to provide comprehensive security at its own courthouse.
... Moreover:
Fulton County’s jail is overcrowded, with inmates sleeping in common areas in plastic boats, sheriff Pat Labat told county officials last year. Stabbings occur daily, he said. Fifteen people died in the sheriff’s custody in 2022, according to the Fulton County medical examiner’s office, compared to two or three in pre-pandemic years. The Southern Center for Human Rights and the ACLU issued a scathing report last year describing rampant malnourishment and neglect on the jail’s mental-health floor, where every single inmate was afflicted with lice, scabies, or both.

I am just not that much of a Capitalist.
I understand that the free market based theories accurately describes the circumstances by which business flows and the market booms, but it does not describe a world in which I want to live.
I also believe it is entirely possible to make the market subject to the desires of the people as opposed to making the people subject to the market.
Right, that is not what I think anyone wants - I do not want people dependent on the government for handouts, but I also do not want corporations acting tyrannically and establishing monopolies.
The government should protect us from others and that includes the predatory practices of industry.
Not that surprising:
When we looked at the happiness trend for unhappy people in the 2021 data, we found exactly the same pattern as was found in 2010; happiness rises relatively steeply with income and then plateaus.
The answer to this, though, is to just personally attempt to transcend this reality.
Love the excerpt:
The version of monism most pertinent to the present discussion originated with Ernst Haeckel, a romantic-minded German zoologist who spent a large portion of his career ardently promoting the work of Charles Darwin. “Rooted in pre-Darwinian romanticism,” writes Daniel Gasman in Haeckel’s Monism and the Birth of Fascist Ideology, “Haeckelian Monism [draws] upon the one of the oldest if not the oldest tradition in philosophy—the belief that all different phenomena are bound into unity by one common ‘sacred’ force.”For Haeckel, the goal of life is to get back in touch with a “wholly other” substance found in the world. Achievement of this goal demands the rejection of several intertwined legacies: the Judeo-Christian tradition of transcendence (or dualism, as Haeckel would say); that tradition’s claim on the West’s many cultural and intellectual achievements; faith in human equality; and, for good measure, the movements stemming from that faith. (Examples of such movements include, most notably, the Enlightenment and the French Revolution.) In place of this tradition, men must embrace the monist secular faith that nature provides the basis for all social laws, which science will uncover sooner or later. Science, as a reflection of the laws of nature, ought to provide the foundation for all sociological, religious, political, and philosophical thought.
You could say that the bodybuilder fascism has within it some element that is inherently contrary to Christian civilization if it is going towards this end... Unless, of course, this monism is reinterpretable, where the "mon" that unites all can be thought of as a reflection of the Holy Spirit. I am not so sure how elegant that is, but it might work.
The movement certainly sounds fascinating, though, and it isn't hard to see the parallels with the modern body fascists:
In practice, monism manifested as an “intense feeling of responsibility” toward elevating humankind through “unceasing endeavor toward refinement and perfection.” (Here we find a clear instance of Haeckel’s obsession with Darwinism.) Despite encompassing the whole of human striving, however, monism pursued refinement and perfection chiefly through the body. Haeckel thus partnered in 1906 with Wilhelm Ostwald, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist. Together the two men founded the German Monist League. Dedicated to investigations into monist thought, as well as dispensing advice on health, hygiene, and similar matters, the league advised its members to “regulate” their lives so that the “prosperity of the community and of mankind is assured.” This was to be done through “keeping the individual in a healthy and vigorous condition.” The goal was to reveal the world as a “vast, living, striving, conscious organism,” as the league put it, of which humans are an integral part and through which they can realize the “kingdom of heaven” during their life on earth.
Here is also where the rubber meets the road for Christians:
Haeckel saw himself as leader of a scientific movement that aimed to free science from the bonds of metaphysics, irrationality, and a “dualistic” Christianity.
Also very fascinating to see its diverse influences:
Haeckelian monism found its way into politics, too. It was championed by Marxists and fascists alike, the groups giving it their signature twist. It was an integral part of the “revolutionary method” of the Italian scientific socialists, who saw the struggles of the working class as reflective of the natural evolutionary struggles of all life, and inspired the murky mysticism of German National Socialists, who sought to destroy the cultural and religious underpinnings of Western civilization and replace them with a fantastic and perverse interpretation of natural law.
I was a bit surprised to see not one but two intersections:
The US citizens were driving through Matamoros in Tamaulipas state in a white minivan when a group of unidentified gunmen shot at them.They were then placed in a vehicle and taken away, the US government said.
The US has not confirmed Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's statement saying that the Americans had crossed the border to buy medication.
The missing Americans, who were kidnapped on 3 March, have not been identified.
"There was a confrontation between groups and they were kidnapped," Mr López Obrador said Monday.
The incident also resulted in the death of an innocent Mexican citizen, US ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar said in a statement.
"We have no higher priority than the safety of our citizens," the ambassador said.
"Officials from various US law enforcement agencies are working with Mexican authorities at all levels of government to achieve the safe return of our compatriots", he continued.
Not only is there the angle of Mexican criminals victimizing American tourists, which will have huge ramifications for tourism, but there is also the part where Americans are abroad to purchase cheap medicine.
Oddly enough, while politicians might want to utilize this for elections, it would seemingly become a poor juxtaposition when you consider the sore spot that is illegal immigration.

Full clown world:
Trans weightlifter JayCee Cooper began sending demanding letters and suing the sport starting in 2019 after the sports authority denied his bid to compete as a woman. Ultimately, Cooper filed a lawsuit in state court in 2021 and won against the organization based on a Minnesota state anti-discrimination law that maintains he can compete under his “chosen gender.”
...
“By denying Cooper the right to participate in the female category, the category consistent with her self-identification, USAPL denied her the full and equal enjoyment of the services, support, and facilities USAPL offered its members,” Diamond wrote in his ruling. “It separated Cooper and segregated her and, in doing so, failed to fully perform the contractual obligations it agreed to when it accepted Cooper’s money and issued Cooper a membership card.”
Women's sports are going to be completeley ruined - and ironically by the policies designed for equality that they themselves campaigned for.
