Lovely piece from Adam Mastroianni on underrated ways to change the world:

What if russia wins in #Ukraine? We can already see the shadows of a dark 2025
By Timothy Garton Ash
Instability is growing, putin’s hybrid war in Europe is heating up and for fear of escalation we have encouraged global nuclear proliferation
about time! Btw, I'm using some of your loops.gay code in the official web UI, and would love your feedback on it once its shipped.
Loops will need someone to manage the frontend so I can work on other things like Pixelfed once we reach stable status, so do let me know if you are interested!
"Whether it’s his posts in favor of the far-right party Alternative for Germany, which harbors Nazi sympathizers, his regular communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin, his support of neo-Fascist Italian leader Giorgia Meloni, or his enmeshment with the Chinese regime, where fully half of his Tesla cars are manufactured, Musk seems fully invested in enabling a new world order favorable to autocracy."

"That also means helping the Kremlin help the world’s democracies to decline precipitously, starting with the United States. it’s no secret that Putin longs to have America become like Russia of the 1990s, with a population mired in poverty and desperation, the better for elites to plunder the spoils."

"Some people predict that Trump will eventually get rid of Musk, seeing the billionaire as too much competition. That is a misreading of Trump, who can take some humiliation –Russian television has mocked him and has showed nude photos of his wife—if the end goal is more profits and power for him. Autocrats are entirely transactional beings, and Trump and Musk likely have an understanding: each needs the other."
Musk is Rasputin to Trump’s Alexandra. The carrots he is offering are just too too tempting.

Word of the day "tegmina" in earwigs, grasshoppers, crickets and cockroaches this is the leathery forewing that protects their more translucent flying wings. They are similar in concept to the elytra found in beetles, but not as hard, and they often do not fully cover the back wings.
Tegmia is the plural, individually they are called tegmen.
The word is stolen from the botanists who use it to describe a protective layer found in seeds.
"Etymology" in the context of bugs reminds me: when I was a teen, I worked at a grocery store, and we had a regular customer who'd legally changed her name to “Cricket". Just “Cricket”. The first time I had her as a customer and she paid with a check, she verified by showing me her driver's license with the same sig.
Haha checks. Not me revealing my age.
Anyway, back then, I was quick on the draw. I was like “That's cool. What's the entomology of that name?”

in reply to Eugene McParland 🇺🇦 • • •😬 「The loss of a large amount of territory, the suffering of at least 3.5 million Ukrainians living under Russian occupation and the toll of dead, maimed and traumatised would amount to a terrible cost. This would not be the complete victory Ukrainians have hoped for and deserve; but it would still be a victory for Ukraine and a historic defeat for Russia.」
I beg to disagree. Hard.
Any conquest of foreign territory can be sold to the famously moronic russian masses as yet another "great patriotic victory", thus further feeding the centuries-old murderous trajectory of imperial expansionism.
Instead of forever teaching russians that their medieval policies of violence and thievery work, they should finally be taught that *crime will no longer pay*. The criminal must be the one paying the costs.
