Inside Ukraine’s Prisoner of War Negotiations with Russia: https://benborges.xyz/2024/05/12/inside-ukraines-prisoner.html

About 40 years ago I had a job where I walked to work thru a residential neighborhood. I’d walked the route for a couple years. I usually walk briskly but one day I had new shoes and felt one of my heels rubbing so I slowed down well below my normal pace. The last few 100 yds I would walk past a 2-storey brick building being rehabbed. I reached the corner of the block it was on. For no reason, I stopped. I looked up, and the whole side of the building fell on where I’d have been walking.

That’s….one way to describe it…
AP: “On Super Bowl broadcast, ‘He Gets Us’ ads featuring Jesus stand out for change-of-pace message”
Then there’s the more accurate way to describe it...
USA Today: “Super Bowl Jesus Ad funded by groups fostering "hateful Christian Nationalism"

So just as a change of pace, I just had a decent cold call.
Them: “Hi we’re calling about x, interested?”
Me: “nope”
Then: “Ok thanks, have a good day!”
Me: “You too!”
Boom done.
If they were all like that I’d probably still answer my phone. 😂

How Space Aye is putting Scottish space tech on the map
The space sector is growing faster in Scotland than any other part of the UK, thanks to geographically advantageous satellite launch sites and a plethora of local engineering skills. This has spawned a number of hardware and software startups, among them the geographically rooted and affirmatively named Space Aye.

Better pace and awesome weather yesterday #running. May need to find a different halfway rest area, it's turning into a massive pot smoking hangout, not great for the asthma 😄
Treadmill today, should be back to my 5 days a week running more consistently for a bit.
A few 5Ks coming up in the spring with my running partners, looking forward to those 👊
