💥2000 meters to Andriivka
The closer you get to combat, the more jarring it becomes.
Death comes randomly.
The noise is terrifying;

—how a brief instant can transform a living, breathing person

The fighting in Ukraine has, in many ways,

As many as 80 percent of battle casu…

A War Film to Change All War Films
An Oscar-shortlisted documentary shows battle in startling clarity.

My favorite video game company is currently making news because they admitted to falling to AI hype and pushing it on employees even though they’ve (predictably) seen no actual benefits.
I am sad about it but, in good news, writing with a fountain pen continues to be an extreme delight.
I developed carpal tunnel nine years ago, and handwriting would always be a stolen joy in the brief moments before pain would start again. I have been feeling nearly 0 pain in the last two weeks despite filling 50 pages. I feel like I’ve been given a new lease on life in a small way.

How a local radio station weathered Trump's media attacks
Six days into President Donald Trump's new administration, the San Francisco Bay-area radio station KCBS-AM and other outlets reported on local immigration raids. The brief story quickly drew the ire of conservative influencers who attacked KCBS’ report as endangering agents’ lives. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr accused KCBS of failing to operate in the public interest and said he was opening an investigation. Current and former staffers say KCBS began taking steps…

Datenschutz-WTF Moment:
Zum ersten Mal in einer neuen Arztpraxis, ich bekomme einen Stapel Formulare zum Ausfüllen. Eines davon eine Einwilligungserklärung in die Datenbearbeitung, die auf die "folgende Seite" verweist.
Diese "folgende Seite" war eingeschweisst, und ich erhielt sie nur zur Ansicht und sofortigen Rückgabe nach Unterschrift.
Dass ich beides fotografiert habe, hat man nicht verstanden.🤦‍♀️
