Trying to spend more time on Mastadon. Who do I need to follow to better track US politics, Ukraine and The Middle East/Iran?

Repost for better signal boost?

I’m Tim, I run The Counteroffensive, on Ukraine, and Iran War Dispatches, which launched on Saturday!

Day 1467.

We made it through the winter. Armed Forces of Ukraine stand, and Russians failed to break us - again.

The world is fighting more wars, Russian invasion unleashed enormous security crisis. It all boils down to the will of ordinary people who shape history.

We stand.

To the point: you launch, you reveal your position, you lose.
These missiles are extremely dangerous, but Iran only has so many launchers that can't easily be replaced.

Rainy commute buddy

Last night I went to a 70th birthday party and ended up sitting next to Frank.

Frank used to work as a computer programmer, because this was the 1970s to 90s and people had normal job titles that described real things, instead of "full stack orchestration engineer" or "solutions architect".

Anyway Frank's employer was the Victorian Attorney General's department. He wrote, updated and maintained in-house software for managing the court system, trial documentation managements and so on using low level languages.

The point of this post is that there was nothing special about this period of history that made it possible for government departments to write and maintain their own software to solve their own problems then but not now.

The complete lack of any in-house capacity to do this kind of thing is a political choice. Frank is a reminder of that.

They turned Crossy Road into a giant arcade machine 😒
Just found out that my local brewery, which had a video arcade business attached which sadly shut down a few months ago, has actually partnered with a new business with new machines! On my way now 😬
This is also humiliating for Russia — not only have their technology proven to be completely ineffective against latest-generation stealth fighters, they are not able to come to the aid of a supposed “ally” as they’re themselves pinned & trying to survive in Ukraine.
