Hey Canada, Greenland and Panama, did you know that "...the U.S. government argued that Bin Laden and Soleimani posed an imminent threat and that the killings were defensive and, therefore, justified under international law."
I'm not saying anyone should hurt anyone. Violence is never a good answer. I also think someone threatening to invade and take possession of you by force is...bad.

You know the North Koreans are getting owned when I can share a new, 4 minute long video of them getting owned and owned and owned by a plethora of drone strikes, AND share an article about how they are getting owned and owned and owned by cluster munitions, to what appears to be an even greater degree.
@… Amazing, thanks for sharing! It doesn’t surprise me that per-language approaches have been taken, and I would expect that if someone did this, it would be people who’ve already done it once, but niche.
I was definitely inspired a bit by Darklang.

“Dangerous Coats” by Sharon Owens
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition

After wearing my cargo pants yesterday and being spoiled by decent sized pockets (I could fit my phone in the front pocket, keys, and lipstick without it falling out when I sit) I’m pissed again about the pockets in my current pants, back pocket I can only put my hand up to my second knuckle in the back (might fit a lipstick but it would fall out) and the front ones, stuff keeps falling out when I sit. I’m going to lengthen the pockets based on the cargo pants pockets, I don’t care if it ‘ruins the line of the pants, and adds bulkiness’ because as I always say, women’s pockets, when pants have them, are bullshit. And I don’t care if they make me look fat because I value function and comfort more. My son can fit a whole keyboard in his. I’ve been gradually lengthening my pockets as I get to them, or wearing a Fanny pack, but had to go to a funeral Sunday and got pissed again about my pockets. I want to empower other women with decent pockets, so we can take over. That poem about seditious pockets comes to mind. Or at least carry phones and keys. Will post photos. #sewing #pockets #womenspants

I had mentioned that Russian freight trucks weren't doing well, but... things are getting uglier.
Large numbers of them are getting out of the business entirely, or trying to downsize their truck fleets due, in part, to the high key rate and general unprofitability of trucking in Russia under current circumstances.
They're even facing high incidences of non-payment by their clients!
I have to go to the bathroom, but I also have to finish this damned article.
I suspect that if I get up to go to the bathroom, I'm going to get distracted by 200 other things and not finish writing.
Also, it will disturb the cat.
What's the path of least resistance to archive reddit.com threads that are somehow still online?
I've seen that web.archive.org and archive.is can get blocked by reddit's bot detection, and even if not, they don't archive all the permalinks to nested comments etc.

After discussing the possibility for several months, European nations are finally forming a unified barrier of insurance checks and enforcement around areas where Russia's shadow fleet operate... a very important development, as it either will deprive them from the ability to keep evading sanctions, or significantly increase the costs and risks of doing so.
Big ramifications. This could have a major impact on Russia's recent long term oil delivery deal with India, i.e.

For the upcoming year, I hope furries get shit on by the major platforms to the point where they *have* to leave... And please let the people who lead the charge to the next platform choose something that's *not* going to be the exact same old story.
I'm tired of having to split my attention three ways because there's the Discord crowd, then there's the Telegram crowd, and then there's the few people who actually care enough and try alternatives like at least Signal or Delta Chat.

There is a long and storied history of whistles for protection. Ancient Egyptian guards used to place a blade of grass between the thumbs to alert other guards of issues that were transpiring. Later, shells were used to the same end. In China, acorns with holes drilled in them were used similarly.
As a dedicated instrument, whistles have been made of wood, bone, metal, and later, plastics. British bobbies have used whistles to communicate over distances since the 1880s. They are a commonly used tool for boatswains, crossing guards, and referees.
I wish I knew more about rape whistles, but they seem similar in functionality to hikers taking whistles with them in case of injury, as the sound carries much further than yelling, and is much less tiring.
As someone regularly stalked by a large creepy harasser, I am grateful for the whistle I was given for self-protection, even if the creeps who it was given to defend against resent the fuck out of it.
