The deputy head of #Ukraines military intelligence told the #Economist that the order has gone out for #Russia to “take something” before #VictoryDay on May 9th, or a week later.
An offensive is expected in the #Kharkiv and #Sumy regions.
The #Czech FM said that although his country has helped #Ukrainian refugees, it doesn't support #draft age Ukrainian men avoiding fighting by staying abroad.
There are 94,643 Ukrainian men aged 18 to 65 in the Czech Republic. Ukraine has been trying to get them to return.
Prove me wrong: the hype for the #NFLDraft exists so that Mel Kiper can justify his paycheck. Without the hype, he'd be selling paint at Home Depot. #NFL#Sports#Football#Draft#ESPN
Bloggers and writers! Which tool(s) are you using to draft and write your posts or articles? And how do you keep track of the status of a piece (idea/draft/edited/published etc.)? #blogging#writing
@matthiasott initial drafting in Bear, then copy markdown into Nova for final editing, adding figures, etc. I have a #toblog tag in Bear for ideas and a #draft tag for drafts. I use the string tk liberally in my drafts to remind myself to add things like links and other final touches (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_come_(publishing))
Today at 10:30 Central, I’ll be hosting a St Lotus event again! This is a 12 hour long Magic event where people can play cards from anywhere in the history of the game, and everything is drafted. Follow along from https://twitch.tv/stlotusmtg and see more details on https://stlotus.org #MTG#MagictheGathering#Draft#vrd
Do you have any advice on how to share a draft article in order to ask for comments? A private doc on Google comes to mind. Do you have other ideas? 😅 #draft#article#comments#sharing
One feature that is currently missing on PixelFed (and something I wish they had) is the capability to compose a post as a draft and schedule it for later publication.
I forgot to post about #StLotus when it was live, but in case anyone in #MagicTheGathering is into #InVintage or #draft, I run tournaments that are Vintage Rotisserie Drafts. They play out somewhere in between Vintage #Cube and #cEDH as far as power level, but because it's all face-up and you can draft things like Chill, the format is way more interactive.
The most recent video just got posted on Youtube, but all the links are on https://stlotus.org.
Russians who refused to fight in Ukraine are eligible for political asylum in France.
France's National Asylum Court clarified its case law on Russian deserters and draft dodgers, pointing out that the applicant must 'provide evidence that he or she has actually been called up to serve in the armed forces.'
"(...) In conclusion, for now, I will run both types of metadata side-by-side: hashtags as well as internal links. And I’ll create group views, ie. lists, using Maps Of Content and Dataview. (...)"
@josschuurmans@obsidianmd@obsidian@nickmilo I’ve used both links and tags, but when the system began to feel ragged (and when it started introducing delays — “Will I link or tag this?”), I launched the Great Tag Apocalypse and converted ALL tags to links.
In practice, though, I’ve found that for status (#ToRead or #Draft) and certain markers (#Idea and #Insight), tags just “feel” better to me. I realize this makes no objective sense.
A quick overview of current #AI regulations proposals in the legislative process
(1/n)
Today, I read about someone still using #Google that in his search, he had the first 3 pages of hits with "junk" results which he attributed to #AI generated pages.
#Dems introduced a Bill Requiring Political Ads to Disclose AI Use at the beginning of May, 2023. Even though sensible, I don't see it getting passed due to the distribution of power in Congress,unless there...
The Future of Life Institute (#FLI), an independent #NPO, in cooperation with #OxfordUniversity, has set up its own website and people can make proposals there, though this is not part of the #EU's legislation process. (2)
The new focus on the #Quebec referendums is moot because the Canadian government will not be legally allowed to let a province separate knowing the entity that results will abuse the rights of minorities, currently protected by the Charter.
No one can credibly or intelligently argue an independent Quebec would do otherwise. It’s simply not a constitutional democracy at this point.
How many people out there in #Mastodon-land are watching the #NFLDraft? If you are, boost this post and give it a like to cast a wider net and connect. I would love to get a group together to chat about it all!
Also, let me know your #hottake for tonight! Where is the drama coming from? What teams are trading up? Down? Any surprise pick predictions?
One of my low key favorite parts of draft night is seeing all the different suit liners 🕴️the NBA draft for sure started the trend though #nfl#nba#draft
The #NFL season lasts too long... but the non-stop dreck about the #draft makes the roughly 80 day stretch between the Sewer Bowl and the draft seem like 80 years.
For crying out loud, don't those sports people have ANYTHING ELSE to talk about?
Your Phoenix Suns select Toumani Camara, forward, Dayton, with the 52nd pick in the 2023 NBA Draft (twitter.com)
Looks like a good defender, with some offensive upside. Be interesting to see how he fits on the new roster after all the moves are done
2021 NFL redraft: Zach Wilson falls out of Round 1, Micah Parsons rises (theathletic.com)
Given a second chance at the 2021 NFL Draft, which teams would use a mulligan in Round 1?
