Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”
Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Celbridge Hazelhatch “Mobility Corridor” — AKA a road with poor junctions for cycling
Comment & Analysis: Kildare County Council is currently proposing the Celbridge Hazelhatch "Mobility Corridor" -- a new road between Celbridge and Hazelhatch, and a link to Irish Rail's Hazelhatch and Celbridge train station, which is to get upgraded with Dart services sometime in the future. Besides housing already in place along part of the road and more housing zoned along it, the road has no bus stops.

When I worked @dundee.ac.uk in 2013 they already had a super simple system. I don't understand how @ucddublin.bsky.social could screw it up so much. The irony would be the person(s) responsible for the mess get promoted.
A system whose unintelligibility is only matched by its failure to perform the most basic functions in a reliable way. #workdayfinancial
Imagine the least user-friendly financial software you can. Then make it more complicated. Then add a bunch of mistakes. Then make it so you have to swim through a lake full of hungry piranhas to do a simple task like figure out how much budget you have in a project. The result: Workday Financial.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."
