I used to have another black cat and I don’t know how, but my phone is able to correctly distinguish between them and sort them into different folders. It’s only got it wrong once.

remix by a French Polynesian DJ of a song in Portuguese by an artist from Angola

I can't really describe the genre, but Afrobeat tracks remixed by Pacific island artists have a distinct sound and there is LOTS of it on YouTube.

Zelenskyy's argument for years has been that russia should not be rewarded for its aggression, else other dictators would become emboldened to attack countries and take what is not theirs.

Welp.

I realize this is a budget for a family of four, but "other essentials" is more than my entire annual income.
Man, gotta love some Wall Street guy who decides It’s Time To Care About Poverty and uses vibe math to recalculate the poverty line, as… $136,500

@diplomatofnight.com (October) poll of Trump voters on various foreign policy issues. Ukraine was a bit surprising to me (in a good way). I don't know enough about Israel to say if it's in line with other polls.

I know you don't think that Trump cares about his voters, and you are correct, but CONGRESSPEOPLE care about getting reelected, and they know that almost no one (INCLUDING TRUMP VOTERS) supports russia or Putin.

I don't accept doomer/cynical replies about Ukraine from anyone but Ukrainians, who have earned the right to be as "Death to America" as they want. The rest of you, touch grass and call your representatives, because the Ukrainians who follow me don't need to read that shit. It's not an abstraction.

Gift link. I think the subhead is misleading - there is zero chance Ukraine is going to give up territory they still control. It's not a valid point of contention.
Ukraine Peace-Plan Negotiators Leave Thorniest Issues to Trump and Zelensky
What happens to territory coveted by the Kremlin but not seized by Moscow’s troops during the war is a major sticking point in any peace deal.

No surprise here. Ukraine was never ever going to accept the Dmitriev/Witkoff plan as is. The article says Ukraine rejected recognizing russian-held territory as russian and the ban on joining EU/NATO. They got it down to 19 modified points. We don't know what those are yet.

I wanted to add that trench candles are for heating. Our defenders can stay warm, cook, dry shoes and clothes with the help of these candles in winter right in their dugouts.

Капець (the word repeated in the background) is an exclamation, kind of like "everything's screwed up," like UGH!! There's a stronger version too (піздець)

Screenshot from Lindsay Graham (Republican). I know this sounds weak, but it's good that they are demanding congressional oversight and not letting Trump just do whatever. McConnell (Republican) has also been highly critical of the Trump-Putin plan and the process.

These are gorgeous!

She is raising money to buy materials for candles for soldiers to use in the trenches. She speaks fluent English, so if you want to help, you can ask her questions.

Everyone who thinks they can ALWAYS detect an AI image - you're wrong, but you're not the problem, because you're at least thinking about it. 99.99% of people are not going to zoom way in to inspect for errors because they aren't even thinking about the possibility it might be photorealistic AI.
