Ukraine is the victim of a lawless, brutal, unprovoked invasion by a politically backward and dysfunctional would-be empire ruled by a murderous autocrat.
That assessment was obvious on Feb. 24, 2022 when the full-scale invasion was launched,
and it was obvious in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea.
The challenge of writing about the war is that once you’ve said that,
saying it again just feels repetitive.
This is a bigger problem than one columnist’s selfish de…

At least 80% of the world lives under light-polluted skies
—a figure that rises to 99% in America and Europe.
A paper published in Science found that between 2011 and 2022 the night sky grew almost 10% brighter each year.
With so many places awash with artificial light, people are increasingly seeking out the darkness.

"The truth is that the British government has placed itself in an exposed position thanks to its increasingly aggressive intervention in the Russia-Ukraine war.
"From the first, it has spared no effort to prolong the war – Boris Johnson stopped partying in Downing Street long enough to fly to Kiev in April 2022 to help block an incipient peace deal."

„Drei Jahre lang - von 2022 bis 2025 - hatten die Forscher das etwa 3.500 Quadratkilometer große Einzugsgebiet der Unteren Spree zwischen Spreewald und Berlin untersucht.
Laut dem Bericht zählt die Region zu den wasserärmsten Gebieten Deutschlands. Die Grundwasserstände seien lokal seit dem Jahr 2000 um bis zu drei Meter gesunken.“

In 2022 I installed my archive copy of 1Password 4.1 on a new machine. It would not honor my 2016 license key (1Password killed its license server killed when it went SaaS).
1Password support tried very hard to move me to the SaaS model (3 free years!), but I repeatedly declined.
I eventually got 1Password support to give me an _older_ version that didn’t talk to a license server.
And I feel much better about standing firm now that 1Password has gone full fash.

in 2022 I designed and built a 1:76th scale model of a shepherds hut that I had seen mentioned in a news story, found pictures of it on an auction site, drew it up as a buildable kit and cut it out with my laser. Having built it I then lost the files (my fault).
Today I re-found the pictures online and drew up the kit again, hopefully slightly improved. Here is the original model alongside the new kit of parts.
No AI was used in this process at all.

I've read the Sprawl Trilogy several times and watched the Blade Runner movies several times too. And I love them.
Yet, it's hard to be excited about these two projects because they are being produced as series by the usual culprits.
