Woman, 98, 'walks six miles amid shelling' to escape Russia-controlled Ukraine

Vladimir Putin receives more than 75 percent of the vote and wins another term as president of Russia.

Yes, I am writing this four days in advance, just so I can boost it later to illustrate how predictable rigged Russian elections are.

@chargrille What a failure of imagination. That's hardly the only thing that can put an end to this.
Short 🧡: I've been very critical of Biden's over-the-top support for Israel recently, but I'm starting to suspect he's playing a longer game than anyone realizes. Some incredibly important, hopeful signs are embedded in his (superficially pro-Israel) op-ed today: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/18/joe-biden-gaza-hamas-putin/

Joe Biden: The U.S. won’t back down from the challenge of Putin and Hamas

Our goal should not be simply to stop the war for today β€” it should be to end the war forever, break the cycle of violence and build something stronger in Gaza.

@rood @stavvers Seconded! Steel horses are great

Can you imagine if we let public health do computer security?

"Your computer needs to get lots of viruses in order not to get lots of viruses."

"Let this malicious code rewrite your operating system, and your computer will be better."

"Everyone's computer is going to get cracked. Just let it happen."

"Stop living in fear of ransomware. Your computer has to connect to the Internet."

"Most hard drive reformats are mild."

You are in a semi-circular room, with an exit to the West, which is open.
