I don’t know how to explain it, but time works differently in airports. 5 minutes and 5 hours are somehow the same. Your flight is delayed but arrives early. The carpets are from 1980. The water machines are from 2045. It is always happy hour. You have always been in the airport.

The world needs more determination and cooperation to stop the tyrant who tries to use famine as his tool – address of President of #Ukraine to Berlin Agriculture Ministers' Conference participants

Extract
And anyone who tries to deprive people of food or water is an enemy not only to those, who are doomed to starve or suffer from thirst but also is an enemy to humanity.

We must defeat such enemies together!

Diaries from #Ukraine:

What I saw, why I'm going back

Local man writes about time spent in warzone

Editor's note: The writer is a Sandusky man who volunteered in Ukraine's International Legion in the fight against Russia's invasion. He spent months in Ukraine in 2022 before suffering a combat injury that saw him return to the U.S. to recover. He's now medically cleared to return to Ukraine and plans to return to Ukraine in several weeks.

Me at 16: [in a mosh pit, my rib cage repeatedly slammed into a metal bar] THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER

Me at 41: [skips song] good lord, this symphony orchestra is way too intense. Calm your tits, maestro

For today's #Caturday I'm going to go with an action shot I took when Loki and Theo were around 4 months old.

I set up a camera on a tripod and was teasing them to get them to jump from a cat tree to the top of a small cabinet. On one occasion, however, both were on different platforms on the tree and decided to jump at the same time resulting in this shot...

I always feel left out on #Caturday because I don’t have one of them whatchamacallits… “cats.” But then I remembered this cute pin, which belonged to my mother, and which hangs on the wall in my home.

And they would do it again as they did it before…

Two million French folk take to the streets in a wave of strikes and protests against a proposal to raise the pension age from 62 to 64.

Meanwhile in the UK: "Mustn't grumble. When's 'Strictly' on?"

Ein Gutes weiters neues Jahr wünsche Ich nicht nur den Hasen

I wish a Happy New Year not only to the rabbits

我不仅祝愿兔子们新年快乐

Read this last night and it is absolutely charming 🥹 ❤️ Highly recommend for anyone wanting a warm and fuzzies book

On Election Day in November, #Pennsylvania Democrats won a state House Majority.

Due to 2 House members being elevated to higher office and the passing of another, there are 3 #SpecialElections on February 7. Republicans are desperate to take these seats, so it's essential to get the vote.

Information and a volunteer link:

PA-32: Joe McAndrew is the former executive director of the Allegheny County Democratic Committee. From a working family, he is committed to ensuring the state legislature puts families first.

PA-34: Abigail Salisbury serves on the Swissvale Borough Council, spending the past two years as its President. She is also a small business owner, working as a practicing solo attorney.

PA-35: Matthew Gergely serves as McKeesport’s finance director, and previously served as city administrator and as a McKeesport Area School District official. He will fight for schools and PA families.

@ScottSoCal @Alternatecelt They're blocked now. That instance in its current state is too problematic to federate with.

COMPROMISED?
This hirsute young politico is Olaf Scholz. In the 80’s, Scholz was a self-identified Marxist. The DDR (East Germany) then regarded him as an “important ally in the struggle against NATO”

Another exact Kremlin talking point from Musk.
