Ukraine’s deep strikes make Russians feel the war

Ukraine has increasingly pursued a strategy of “bringing the war back to Russia” — aiming to erode the perception that the full-scale invasion is distant and cost-free for Russian society.

An internal analysis by the Ukrainian NGO Join Ukraine, shared with the Kyiv Independent, suggests that strategy is beginning to reshape how the war is felt across Russia.

The organization monitors social media discourse and public reactions across Russian regions and occupied territories, and found that Russians are increasingly confronting the war through casualties, drone attacks, internet blackouts, and economic disruption.

If you’re tired of feeling like there’s nothing that you can do to help make the world a better place besides voting, I’m here to tell you that there is…

Volunteer.

Food banks, soup kitchens, senior centers, blood banks, animal shelters, and more. Find a place where you can be in the service of others. Where you can give back to the community that you live in.

It’s a great way to get out of your own head. Serve others, and serve the better parts of yourself in return

Ig Nobels to move awards to Europe due to concern over US travel visas
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/mar/09/ig-nobel-prize-europe

> The annual Ig Nobels, a satirical award for scientific achievement, are shifting for the first time from the US to Europe due to concerns about attendees getting visas, organizers announced on Monday.

That story again:

Even parody Nobel committee recognizes how dangerous it is to travel to the USA these days. If your conference doesn't, your conference is less serious than parody Nobels. 🤡

Hey. If you're doomscrolling right now, this is your reminder to put the phone down for a bit

yes, it's important to know what's happening in the world. stay informed. bear witness

but you can't pour from an empty cup and your nervous system isn't designed to process a global crisis in real time for hours on end

read the news. then close the tab. drink some water. step outside. pet your cat. watch something stupid. come back later.

How do we motivate PHP conference organizers to upload presentation recordings to @phpc_tv (instead of|in addition to) YouTube?

As a speaker, I will bring up this topic in the future when an organizer asks for my consent to publish a recording of a presentation of mine.
