@blakeaburge Also, I sometimes get into the trap of organising my to-do list in a way that feels like procrastination before actually doing the work.

Had a friend tell me once: "When you're feeling overwhelmed, there are only two things you should do... get organized and get to work. The rest is just noise. Peace is found in progress." Some of the best advice I've ever received.

Another Russian Shahed drone strike on a passenger train. This time near Sumy. If this happened anywhere else in the world, it would be breaking news. So why isn’t it?

A Russian Paralympian wins gold and openly dedicates the medal to Putin, speaking about the importance of “glorifying his country.” So praising a dictator and a man responsible for thousands of deaths on the Paralympic stage is somehow apolitical. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Paralympians were told they could not wear uniforms with the map of Ukraine because it would be “too political.”

90% of stand-up meetings look exactly like this.

@RazorSharpFang @DanielW_Kiwi I personally created this lovely dish. No, you didn't. You use potatoes somebody else grew, you use a pan, and that was not made by you. Also, you use water and electricity. Nope, you did not make this dish.

@DanielW_Kiwi A: "I personally built a website!" B: *looks at source code* B: "No you didn't. You used Kestral, you used ASP .Net Core, you used MVC, you used .Net, you used C#, you used Visual Studio, you used Linux to host it, you didn't make anything new."

I really don't like language police

I am curious whether Zelenskyy will agree to give Ukrainian help in intercepting Iranian drones that we didn't want to help them with for the last 4 years or if he'll just tell us to give Wyoming to Iran

According to Ukraine's President Zelenskyy more than 800 PAC-3 Patriot missiles have been used in the latest Iran war, more PAC-3 missiles Ukraine ever possessed, altogether. $4 billions in 5 days for shooting down flying mopeds. Well done.

This is the best line so far. Most Americans won’t get the joke though.

@McFaul Everything suddenly makes sense when you realise that Trump is a Russian asset.

Why? Why must he insult Zelenskyy?

The Ukrainian team was forbidden to use their uniforms with a map of Ukraine at the 2026 Paralympics. Allegedly, this uniforms conveys a political message. The team's uniform contained an image of Ukraine within the 1991 borders (see image). To be honest, this is starting to be outrageous.

The U.S. gets cut out of intelligence talks and suddenly Ukraine is hitting Russia harder than ever. Maybe the problem wasn’t Ukraine. Maybe the problem was the leak.

🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 Hey braliukai 👋 Rail Baltica pushed to 2035? Another 5-year delay? What’s going on? This project is too important for our region to drift 🚄

This can ultimately go only one of two ways: either with Viktor Orbán out of power in 53 days from now, or with Hungary out of the European Union. Enough is enough.

@paulund @MichaelAArouet They have their own quirks :) (speaking from experience), but housing was always more affordable, and transport is cheap. Well, the grass is greener on the other side.

@MichaelAArouet Eastern Europe is becoming a lot more attractive place to live.

This headline is simply wild every time I see it. How did this happen?

I don't need historical shit to end this war and move to diplomacy. Because it's just a delay tactic. I read no less history books than Putin. And I learned a lot. I know more about his country than he knows about Ukraine. Simply because I have been to Russia – to many cities. And I knew a lot of people there. He has never been to Ukraine this many times. He was only in big cities. I went to small cities. From the northern part to the southern part. Everywhere. I know their mentality. That's why I don't want to lose time on all these things. It's about them. They decided to have such a system. The Russians decided to change themselves. The Russians decided that they needed a new Tsar. It's up to them. But there is security. There is a big war waged against us. This is our lives. The only thing that I want to speak about with him is that I think that we need to resolve it in the most successful way. I mean to end this war quickly. That is why I want to speak only about such things.
