    Giving off some similar vibes

    Assad and family are apparently at the Four Seasons hotel in Moscow (Russia not denying it). Russian forces have bailed on three of their largest bases and are trying to make their way to the coastal bases. Aleppo and Hama have fallen to the rebel forces. Rumors of a coup against Assad. Dogs and cats living together. They might have an air force

    And influencers and organizations/companies are now realizing just how much they were being throttled on Twitter when posting links, partly thanks to Musk admitting earlier this week that they throttle links, but also the engagement is much more on BlueSky.

    Yeah, MANPADs would make short work of any aircraft dropping barrel bombs. Meanwhile, Russia is withdrawing from an additional base and it looks like they are headed for the coast as a whole.

    Free Speech Musk blocking thousands of Twitter accounts at the request of the Turkish government.

    I just want to say that this was a really beautiful, deep comment for those who follow the video game industry (and maybe software in general), not because of Curt’s leanings but because of his business management…skills. I remember watching it play out in real time and even had a friend that worked at 38 Studios, and I’ve read the articles, read the books that covered it, and it’s still amazing and hilarious at the same time. Hell, I’ve thought about how I could get the state of Rhode Island to loan me $75 million, but first I’d have to have a Time Machine, go back in time, figure out in high school how to elevate my pitching to a level where I could pitch in college and then make it to the majors, and then win a World Series. It would probably be easier to go back in time and just sink everything I could into Apple stock and get the money that way.

    No, the 1900 novel was about that - yellow brick road = gold, Dorothy’s slippers = silver the coinage of the people, Oz = ounces, “When Dorothy is taken to the Emerald Palace before her audience with the Wizard she is led through seven passages and up three flights of stairs, a subtle reference to the Coinage Act of 1873 which started the class conflict in America” etc. 1939 was pretty in the nose for contemporary issues.

    Just how much military aid can Russia muster within 72 hours to counter thousands of organized and well-supplied rebels? They don’t have the means to sail anything heavy through the Black Sea, so everything will have to come in by air. Would be hilarious if they start sending in North Koreans.

    Are you talking about the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie? Because it was literally about fascism.

    If you get in a physical altercation with him, just start asking him if he knew that we might not have gone to the moon. He will stop and listen.

    He doesn’t want to offend whatever guest is sitting across from him, no matter how batshit they are.

    I didn’t think we were at the rounding up people in the nightclubs stage, but here we are. Maybe Putin is getting actual numbers from Ukraine. Hitting 2,000 dead and wounded today is probably making some people in Moscow, or in a bunker, nervous. Aleppo is a hopping and there’s no clear sign on how many Russians were killed, wounded, or captured in Syria, not to mention the Turks appear to be behind things,. Georgian protests are ramping up. No wonder a Russian defense minister was in North Korea this past week.

    “It's terrifying to feel vulnerable on your own home soil. They didn't care who they put face down — men, women, they didn't care. It was terrifying. Very terrifying. Don't know how much longer the others will be detained. We are slowly heading home, but the experience... wouldn't ever want to repeat that. I don't know by what miracle they let us go..."

    So reading around, people are claiming that it’s a whole lot of Turkish-speaking foreign militants in Syria fighting against the Syrian Army. And there claims tgat dozens of outlying villages fell in the process, so they are building up logistics chains into Aleppo, along with a backstop that the Russians can’t easily go around. If organized by Erdogan at the state level, that would explain how they pulled off in three days what it took Assad and the Russians a few years to do in regard to Aleppo. If they break the Russian and Syrian armies there, and Iran already has its own problems (plus Russia and Ukraine, so Russia can’t rush in reinforcements), what’s next? The Saudis maybe the only ones with the financial resources to help out, but they don’t have the manpower, and they have their own problems on their border to watch. Its crazy how dominant they were in facing the Russians and Syrians.

    And they are pretty active. I forgot where I saw it, but at 24 months, Twitter was starting to hit 300,000 tweets a day. At 20-21 months, BlueSky is hitting 7 million a day. It’s not a perfect comparison, because social media was not nearly as big when Twitter started, and this is a case of people active on one platform shifting to another (Shaggy -> Surly), but it’s impressive and the momentum is staying there. PlayStation recently joined Xbox on BlueSky, and once Nintendo leaves MySpace when the Switch 4 comes out, maybe they’ll follow suit.
