New book. Mixed feelings on SFBT, but I keep seeing it mentioned in studies on treating war trauma, particularly for folks from cultures where discussing trauma is extra saturated in shame/taboo. SFBT gets gimmicky and has a cult following, but also some really good techniques for the tool bag.

The WSJ says that Ukraine must continue the war to buy time for Europe. Meanwhile, Europe is attempting to gain a strategic advantage by using Ukraine as a shield, all while professing its commitment to democratic values. www.wsj.com/opinion/euro...

Q: Are you committing a war crime? TRUMP: *refuses to answer* What else?

look what showed up 🔥

❗️ Footage of the tests of the Russian grounddeone "Kur'er" in a modification with an 82-mm mortar with a self-loading mechanism. The complex is capable of firing 10–12 rounds per minute, and the reload time is 5 seconds.

❗️Rescuers are pulling children from the rubble of a building hit by Russia. The number of injured has risen to 15. Among them, a pregnant woman and two children: a 7-month-old boy and a 2-year-old girl. Some are in critical condition. Yet Trump keeps accusing Ukraine of not wanting to end the war.

Stunning.

I wish I had a privacy screen for my face.

"...79% of the Hungarian public fear foreign interference in the electoral process, according to research by Hungarian pollster the Publicus Institute published on Saturday."

Here's a computer image of Orientale from digital terrain data. "Young" is still ancient, like 3.8 billion years, but with no other giant impacts since (and less lava infilling too) it has more of its original features intact

🔥 Russia's GRU military intelligence burned down a giant shopping mall in Poland in May 2024. This alone should've triggered NATO Article 5. Russia will continue to attack Europe through kinetic means so long as the Europeans tie their own hands behind their backs.

We are now part of the axis of evil.

Roughly, left of the dark area is part of the far side of the Moon, not seen from Earth. The big round feature is the Orientale impact basin, the Moons youngest. That area was in darkness for all the Apollo flights so the Integrity crew are the first humans to see it with their own eyes

In the Russian army, soldiers pay officers in order to stay alive www.economist.com/europe/2026/...

Telegram is now flagging accounts using unofficial apps, warning that they might compromise your chat security. The move follows a surge in "Telega" downloads in Russia — a client that experts say can actually intercept your entire correspondence. meduza.io/en/news/2026...

sucks when accounts I like turn out to be operated by condescending pricks

Russia: Putin's Gestapo now makes random traffic stops to check for unauthorized phone apps like VPNs and records the IMEI to link the phone to the individual in a federal database. Russians should enjoy it, they earned it. 👍

timberdoodles are so much fun. during nesting season we have to be extra careful working in the woods bc moms won't flush until the last possible second (like, lol foot almost touching them), and when they do, you have to be super careful to not step on their superbly camouflaged eggs

the Lord works in mysterious ways

on this very holy day I'd like to remind the world that Russia once tried to assassinate the Pope, that is all

your reminder to floss

Russian oil go boom. SLAVA UKRAINI.

Learning and speaking another language is a gift. It expands social connection and as a bonus is healthy for your brain. Building bridges and partnership is good actually.

They all became criminals when everyone up and down the chain of command decided it was fine to murder fishermen in the Caribbean

Interesting that you've all decided that a mad president threatening war crimes and nukes is bad and he should be removed from office. Let's be honest tho, you're a bit inconsistent in how you apply this.

Saw one of these magical creatures on my forest walk this afternoon. First time seeing one, or least for long enough to get a good look. Normally, if i spook a gamebird, they’re off in a flash. This one moved about 15ft and sat in the moss for a min before eventually flying away.

the Daily Show is leading the resistance

Before my invasion the presidents of Ukraine and Syria could only meet each other with my permission. I remain a master strategist.

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

Wasn't it 3 days ago that we told Zelensky he had just a day to decide to hand over Donbass?

A glimpse at what normal and sane looks like.

For Easter, posted over from my old blog and free to all, my decade+-old thoughts on WATER SHIP DOWN: billryan64.substack.com/p/my-heart-h...

Always a good Q to ask— “Despite how awful everything may be, what would I like to see happen instead and what is one thing I can do to support that vision?” A million little but collective efforts add up.

So many brilliant hackers in this world and not one of them can shut this man up on holy days.

ZELENSKYY: This is very important. If we want to end this war, you shouldn’t pressure me or Ukrainians. You have to pressure Putin, because he doesn’t want to stop. His goal is to occupy us and then go further. He will go to the Baltic countries if we don’t stop him.

🎯

that the president is making unhinged threats of war crimes on easter sunday should be an immediate presidency-ending scandal and that the media is rewriting this as just a normal negotiating tactic should be a career-ending scandal for everyone involved

A lot of smart people said we shouldn't have started this war but we don't listen to smart people anymore because we have been told by dumb people that the smart people are dumb. Now their love of ignorance is going to get alot of people killed because they thought they were smarter.

Sending a whole bunch of these shitheads to the ICC in 2029 would do a lot of work.

Trump could massively boost his popularity numbers by dying this weekend.

Banishing republicans might get a decade or so knocked off.

it will take a hundred years to rid ourselves of the shame he brought us.

We were lucky to film some short interviews with Alina Shukh, a 27-year-old Company Supply Sergeant from Khartiia Corps. What can a young woman do in the army? Watch here! Now we're raising $120,000 for 15 Vampire Drones for her unit. You can support them here: dzygaspaw.com/kupiansk-va...

Happy Easter! Today is a reminder that the story doesn’t end where people think it does — and darkness doesn’t have the final say.
