"In a painstakingly slow process that has come to define the speed of the Ukrainian #counteroffensive, small groups of sappers on the front lines are crawling across minefields — sometimes literally on their stomachs — to detonate Russia’s defenses and clear a path for troops to advance.

...Areas between 3-10 miles deep... have been densely mined with antitank and antipersonnel #mines and trip wires."

Screen shot of a Mastodon post with the text:
"Ukrainians are trying for now to save the few they do have by doing the job manually. Sapper units — sometimes a group of just four people — will often wait for twilight to clear paths, as they are too visible in the daylight and can be seen through night-vision devices in the dark.

Walking with a metal detector is unrealistic, sappers said, because they are too visible. So they crawl, relying on their vision to spot mines."

The Clown Show Is in Town: Small Crowds Gathered in Miami for Trump Arraignment

A low internal sense of self and a need to be wanted are what ties Trump & Trumpers together.

Outlandish costumes scream "Here I am, look at me" and Trump's penchant for grandiosity (ie inflating crowd size) lead me to believe -

These people were not shown love as children. The effects of this are seen in their actions as adults.

You're Not Immune To Propaganda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl2fnWIlDZg

This video hits hard, we're all immersed in propaganda without even realizing its influence on us, so when someone points it out you're in shock of how you didn't see that before.

A few absolute shockers in the list of websites the Washington Post has revealed are used to train Google's generative AI tools. Apparently including the likes of 4Chan, Breitbart, and RT.

From WaPo:

"Meanwhile, we found several media outlets that rank low on NewsGuard’s independent scale for trustworthiness: RT.com No. 65, the Russian state-backed propaganda site; breitbart.com No. 159, a well-known source for far-right news and opinion; and vdare.com No. 993, an anti-immigration site that has been associated with white supremacy.

"The top Christian site, Grace to You (gty.org No. 164), belongs to Grace Community Church, an evangelical megachurch in California. Christianity Today recently reported that the church counseled women to 'continue to submit' to abusive fathers and husbands and to avoid reporting them to authorities."

DeSantis dismissal of Russia’s war in Ukraine as a vital US interest will invite the Kremlin’s cyber & disinformation tools to amplify his message, charge his base and further sow American division. Deliberate on #DeSantis part, I believe

#PopeBenedict, who died at age 95, presented his case for Christ and Christianity’s transforming power as sources of truth, beauty and love in a way that even critics respected.

But his theological legacy will have to contend with the shadows of the numerous controversies that marked his time as pope and, later, as pope emeritus.
