If you want to get technical, colours are every other colour except the colour they are because that’s the wavelength of light that’s not absorbed.

I mean… argue over the numbers if you want, the fact is Russia is waging a campaign to traffic Ukrainian children to Russian families. Doing this to one child is one child too many.
There was an article on the BBC recently regarding Russians taking Ukrainian children into “care” even though they knew who and where their parents were. I’ll see if I can find it.
Edit: Article.

Saw what my wife believe was a Cooper’s hawk in our yard, it having caught another birdy to eat before it flew off with its prize.
It left a pile of feathers behind, which means it may have caught something in our yard before, as when we returned from a 2 week vacation there was a similar pile of feathers that we attributed to a cat. This is a little bit cooler than that.

On CEOs being glorified hype guys, Elizabeth Holmes was imprisoned for that.
Pretty sure Musk has also been fined by the SEC for that, too.

I haven’t played Fall Guys in at least a few years, played one game of solos (with my cousin).
The idea is you do four rounds of games to whittle down 40 players to 8 for the final, and the winner of that final round gets a crown.
I won the first two race rounds outright, and survived the next two games to get to the final and win it.
Then we played duos and it’s bit trickier…

Oh hey possible infrastructure failures.
I went back to the place I grew up a few weeks ago and they have built soooo many houses in the 8 years since I had returned. Hundreds, if not thousands of them, and I don’t think any public services have been keeping up with all the new people.
The only change I noted was (other than the roads within the housing bits they added) a set of traffic lights were there used to be a tiny roundabout.
So yeah, if you have lots of new houses, chances are the local infrastructure hasn’t kept up with the extra demand, because why would developers care what happens after they’ve sold the property?

It’d be cool if I read a book this year. Unlikely.
Pretty sure I wrote a critical analysis of Streams of Silver for a high school English class at college, against the advice of the tutor.
Oh well. I got a C for the class because English is a stupid class.

Emotions are silly sometimes. Just gotta push through it if you think you made the right decision.
Distract yourself with something pleasant.

He is desperate, his numbers are in freefall because he’s basically saying he can be Trump without the baggage (failing to note that’s why his voters like him) while Trump is in the race.

Apparently a plane connected to him went to Minsk… then to St Petersburg.
I wasn’t all that interested in it though so no idea if he was actually on the flight(s).

The surgeon should also be aware that folks coming round from anesthesia aren’t compos mentis. Incompetent administration is easy to deal with, incompetent practitioners less so.
