Soulless technocrat, enemy of the people and supporter of the civic

1/ Four years after Russia's September 2022 mobilisation, the Russian warblogger 'Vault No. 8' – one of those mobilised – is looking back at how the 'mobiks' were used. Many were slaughtered as "meat", he says, comparing them to Warhammer 40K's much-abused Imperial Guard. ⬇️

I have a Big Ask from our community. Many of you will remember our graduates Pikachu and Eevee, who were adopted together. Eevee had dealt with some very challenging chronic diarrhea while she was a kitten, but before adoption, we figured out a food that worked for her & she was all better (thread)

A lot of the work that went into this was done by my former colleague at the FPD, one of the smartest and most dedicated lawyers I ever knew, Paula Harms. She passed away last year unexpectedly and I really wish she could see this.

A judge has ordered the release of Douglas Stewart Carter, a 71-year-old Black man who has spent decades on death row for a 1985 killing he did not commit. He spent 41 years in prison.

Screeching "gEnOciDeR!!!1!" at people voicing support for VP Harris on every social media site & blaming her for Bibi's actions really helped out the Palestinians. Hey, always online lefties, if me and my family are in trouble, please, for the love of God, DON'T try to help us, I BEG YOU.

Talarico's devoted, deeply thoughtful and studied christianity is very recognizable to Black christians, most of whom are Democrats, who take their faith practices seriously, too. Jimmy know ball. Folks see and respect that.

Yeah, but we should probably just let Republicans control the House and Senate because I can imagine an alternate universe where Democrats might in the future at some point think about potentially considering changing their views slightly.

NEWS: Trump asks SCOTUS for help ending gender-affirming care for transgender people in federal prisons Feds claim that the policy is "necessary to maintain institutional security" @courthousenews.bsky.social

It’s a weird thing to geek out about, I know… but I just looked at the Halloween Reads section of the B&N website and I saw their featured authors and I had a moment to myself, where I thought, this is rully rully wild. Like, look at that. Wild.
