Just...no. Russia HAS BEEN "Battle of the Cities" from the very beginning...targeting hospitals as a means of destroying ethnic minorities.

This has been Russian policy for DECADES.

Ukraine retaliating for atrocity is _RECIPROCITY_ per the Laws of War, not degeneracy.
1/2
I asked @grok to document this Russian policy of atrocity at the link, excerpt:

"February 24, 2022โ€“present (Full-scale Russian invasion): The scale escalated dramatically. As of May 2026, the WHO had verified more than 3,000 attacks on healthcare via its Surveillance System for Attacks on Health Care (SSA). A coalition of organizations (including PHR, eyeWitness, Truth Hounds, etc.) documented ~3,095 attacks, with 1,632 damaging or destroying hospitals and clinics"

I'm afraid @cdrsalamander has gotten the moral vectors in the Russo-Ukrainian war wrong.

What is degenerate here isn't RECIPROCITY.

Degeneracy here is defined as using Woke NGO Elite definitions of morality, AKA claiming AFU RECIPROCITY per the laws of war as a war crime.

Introducing EBR-bench, our new benchmark to measure on-the-fly learning.

AI repeatedly plays a challenging board game called Earthborne Rangers and tries to learn from its mistakes. So far: no signs of improvement. Image
If AI can learn on the fly, it becomes much more general-purpose. This has economic implications (learning on the job) as well as safety consequences (developing dangerous capabilities post-release). We study the ability to learn an unfamiliar game as a proxy for this dynamic.
For this, we use Earthborne Rangers: a somewhat obscure, largely text-based campaign game. It requires a mix of strategic deck-building and tactical turn-by-turn play. A single playthrough takes humans 2โ€“4 hours, and mastery may require dozens of playthroughs.

Canada is one of the world's wealthiest countries by household wealth, though not at the very top. While global wealth continued to grow strongly in 2025, Canada's position remains notable for both the amount of wealth its citizens hold and how that wealth is structured.
Canada's position in global wealth:
Canada ranks among the world's richest countries by wealth per adult. Average wealth per adult: USD 399,886, ranking 12th globally. Median wealth per adult: USD 147,811, ranking 7th globally.
The high median ranking is significant. While average wealth can be skewed by billionaires and the ultra-rich, Canada's seventh-place ranking in median wealth suggests that wealth is relatively widespread across households rather than concentrated solely at the top.

If you are in church circles and not following or reading Mark Chironna, you should follow and read his stuff.

Mark has a rare and unique teaching gift, on par with the scholarship of C.S. Lewis and N.T. Wright and yet he can tone and scale his words to speak to any audience.

I, interestingly, have never physically been in the room or part of the physical audience as Mark has spoken. Ever to my knowledge. The interference and weird obstacles preventing Mark & I from being in the same place at the same time is fascinating.
2/ Might weird people out to hear me say they spiritually I know and interact with Mark more spiritually than I likely ever will in real life or physically or in the physical.

Mark once described what I experience and what my dad experienced as the โ€œCommunion of the Saintsโ€ (to Commune or to be in community with the saints or those who are one in the spirit).

I find such testimonies and help and wisdom in that community and I am never, ever alone in my journey and when I ask God often I get answers from folks like Mark in what I would describe is the Cloud of Witnesses within eternity and existing both in time (chronos) and outside of time (kairos) simultaneously. Or, โ€œbothโ€ at once.

I donโ€™t have all the answers I would like to have about all that and probably donโ€™t have the best words to describe, but realize that this way of living, moving, and having my being as a beloved daughter of God on the inspired journey of my life is EXACTLY what I was born for, born to, born within, and born from.

Lots of nuances.
Never a dull moment.

Congratulations, I2D2 (Italian-Italian, Doctor, Doctor) Bishop, Pastor, Teacher Mark Chironna.

Our bad habits in our 20s may not show immediate results, but wait until we reach our 30s.

Have you ever heard of the Compound Effect?

Allah reminds us in the Qurโ€™an:
ูˆูŽุงู„ู’ุนูŽุตู’ุฑู
ุฅูู†ูŽู‘ ุงู„ู’ุฅูู†ุณูŽุงู†ูŽ ู„ูŽูููŠ ุฎูุณู’ุฑู

โ€œBy time, indeed, mankind is in loss.โ€
Surah Al-โ€™Asr (103:1โ€“2)

This verse reminds us that time is precious and every moment counts.

Whether we use our time wisely or waste it, time keeps moving.
The small choices we make every day may seem insignificant now, but after years of consistencyโ€ฆ

Their impact becomes HUGE.

Take a moment to check whether these habits are part of your life:

Good to hear @LibDems Equalities spokesperson Ld Scriven say need "to avoid any unintended consequences" in Conversion Practices Bill. That definition of abuse causing serious harm needs 'legal precision' so "it does not create problems for some parents" supporting children ๐Ÿงต
In addition Lib Dem Baroness @SarahLudford asked a very pertinent question about why clause 1 discusses 'any conduct' could be deemed a conversion practice and how this might be affect parents who do not consent to their teenage child's wish to medically transition.
Such concerns are very warranted when listening to previous speeches made on this topic at Lib Dem conference. Jasmine's speech seems to take aim at parents trying to safeguard their child who they think may have become victim to social influence online

Can an indicator predict the bottom or top? In reality, you need to consider many factors to determine the cycles. Instead of predicting, I'm going to teach you how to fish.

A mother in Scottsdale, Arizona answered her phone in January 2023.

Her 15-year-old daughter Brianna was sobbing on the line. "Mom, I messed up."

Then a man took the phone. "Listen, I have your daughter. If you contact the police, I'll inject her with drugs and leave her in Mexico." He demanded $1 million.

Brianna was on a ski trip, completely safe. The US Senate later heard the case as an example of AI voice cloning fraud.

McAfee Labs found 3 seconds of audio produces an 85% voice match. Less than one TikTok clip.

Here's the one-word system every family needs tonight ๐Ÿ‘‡
This is called virtual kidnapping. No one is actually taken. The scammer just needs a few seconds of your kid's voice.

Microsoft's own research showed a 3-second audio sample is enough to clone anyone's voice with near-perfect accuracy. The tech is called VALL-E.

Sources: Microsoft Research (2023), McAfee Labs "Artificial Imposter" report (May 2023).
Scammers do not need to hack you. They pull audio from:

- TikTok videos
- Instagram reels
- YouTube uploads
- Voicemail greetings
- Podcast appearances

A single 15-second reel gives them 5 times more than they need. Every open account is a voice sample library.

Jobs for our young people remain central to our Renewed Hope Agenda.

Through the Presidential Metering Initiative (PMI), which I established to close Nigeriaโ€™s metering gap, end estimated billing, protect consumers, and strengthen the electricity market, we are opening a new pathway for 5,000 young Nigerians to be trained as meter installers and technicians under The Power Force.Image
2/

This programme is about jobs, skills, and dignity.

It will equip young Nigerians with practical technical skills and connect them to real work in a sector that touches every home, every business, and every community in our country.

The opportunity will be open to eligible Nigerians who have completed their secondary school education, with a dedicated quota reserved for members of the National Youth Service Corps.Image
3/

Metering is also central to making power more available to Nigerians.

When homes and businesses are properly metered, Nigerians can pay for what they actually use. When electricity distribution companies collect revenues more transparently and fairly, they are better able to reduce losses, maintain infrastructure, expand connections, and invest in better service.

This is how we build a power sector that is fairer to consumers, stronger for investors, and better able to deliver reliable electricity to the Nigerian people.

Ok, here's why I am confident that the 14th Amendment confers birthright citizenship to all but a small subset of people born in the United States.

/1
Text:

The 14th Amendment says: born here + subject to U.S. jurisdiction = citizen.

It does not say: born here + parents domiciled here = citizen.

/2 Image
Text continued:

The drafters even specifically considered residency, applying it to State citizenship, but not federal citizenship.

That's a very good textual signal, because they could have said "Born here to residents" quite easily. /3 Image

๐Ÿงต America turns 250 this Saturday. The government Americans live under today is not the one the founders built. Somewhere between the Declaration and this anniversary, the leash was cut. Here is how it happened, and what it would take to undo it.
The founders did not trust parchment to limit power. They trusted structure: rival sovereign states, each able to check the center. Madison, Federalist 51: ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The states were the Constitution's immune system.
The Austrian economists explain why this mattered. Government is a monopoly on force, and like every monopoly, it expands unless competition constrains it. Federalism supplied that competition. States competed for citizens and capital. Overtax them, and they leave.
