It had been a few minutes since something caught fire in Russia, I was getting concerned...

Something's (else) burning If this were sports, I'd say Coach Putin is losing his team.

Ain't that the Truth? That ain't the Truth! "Comrade Milton, you've been promoted to General and are being sent to Ukraine!"

Meanwhile in Russia, stuff keeps catching on fire.

Darn...

Huge if true...

Reading back, Exxon pulled a majority of their workers from the area a couple days prior to the explosion. Their reason was "force majeure".

Obviously, this is the fault of the Ukrainians... It's only about 6,500 miles away.

Chinese vlogger who moved to Ukraine for work blocked by China. "You're telling the truth and we'll have none of that here".

I'm assuming she was an authority on being a Karen and an entitled asshole, so I guess I must be.

I was called an "entitled asshole" and "Karen" for not saying "excuse me" when I accidentally bumped into a 20-something's cart (which was blocking the items at the grocery store that I wanted to get). She was too busy yammering on her phone to move even slightly, despite it being obvious what I was trying to do. When I turned around, she immediately brought her phone up, so I assume she was videoing in case I responded physically. Afterward, I realized I had the perfect chance to say something benign in Ukrainian and let her think she was being insulted.

Apparently all Russian tanks need is a crank to play music...

To be fair, "SIM cards" and "The Sims" is an easy mistake, I suppose.

Russia's GRU played the long game in setting up for war with Ukraine

No more than the usual quantity of robins here. Other than the birds that over-wintered (Mourning Doves, House Finch, Wrens, Junkos & Chickadees) here I heard a Blue Jay nearby. They never seemed to check out the feeders for some reason. Oh, I heard an Owl a few nights ago & we have a Hawk that patrols the area & has tried to get at the birds at the feeders occasionally. The Flicker & the Woodpeckers haven't been around the last couple years.

Sorry, I only partly know Control M. And that I had to piece together pretty much on my own.

They're having us take them down again, due to the Avian Flu. There's hundreds of dead birds in and around a lake a few miles away.

Zelenskyy - "As for the supply of weapons, we don't care what Russia thinks about this. Although they themselves delivered a lot of equipment to us - we remember how they threw their weapons and ran away."
