North Korean soldiers are usually trained to fight in mountainous terrain, which means they are not familiar with Ukrainian territory, its climate, and geography, Kiviselg said.

NEW From Cook Political Report:
“In our final House ratings, we're shifting six races towards Dems and two towards Republicans. Expect anything from a GOP gain of +5 seats to a Dem gain of +10 seats (Dems need +4).“
Look at what you all are doing:
"But notable is how both campaigns today compare to last cycle: Harris has significantly expanded on Biden's donor numbers, while Trump actually slightly lags his own numbers from four years ago. Today, the Biden-turned-Harris campaign has more than 2.4 times the number of donors as the Trump campaign — a gap of nearly 4.3 million funders.
That gap explains in large part Harris’ massive financial advantage over Trump, which has only grown entering the fall. It also points to her strength in consolidating an energetic Democratic base." #KamalaHarris

We are kicking off an exciting collaborative with the Bonfire Networks developer team -a governance-first community platform using ActivityPub.
The Bonfire developer team are interested in reviewing proposals from the moderator community for rapid iteration of evidence-based, prosocial tooling and workflow in a co-design effort with the moderator community.
Learn more about them on their website: bonfirenetworks.org/
Bonfire
A federated social network for individuals and communities to design, operate and control their own digital lives.bonfirenetworks.org
The Bonfire team have already rapidly adopted several proposals including:
1) Greyscaling & blurring media in reported content to reduce trauma for moderators reviewing harmful content.
2) Muting audio in media files so there are no sudden noises, loud volume or traumatic audio for the moderation workflow.
3) Removing clickable links from reported content & suggesting URL investigation tools to reduce the chance of moderators clicking through to phishing, malware, & other harmful websites.
Our IFTAS Connect community is working to provide additional feedback, and anyone is free to suggest additional feedback on the Bonfire GitHub github.com/bonfire-networks/bo….
You can join IFTAS Connect here for lots more resources for moderators too: connect.iftas.org/ .

If so, the Trump campaign just wasted another day, will create a huge raft of anti-Trump social media mockery that will come at him and burned one more day on the theme of garbage that I think most non-maga people will only think of the Puerto Rican garbage comments. So he insured that his racist garbage event topic this becomes a four day story (at least) when he only has five days left…. When we said that one advantage, Kamala had in this closing week is her campaign’s strength, and it’s message discipline versus his campaign’s bizarre randomness.

Dária: Is cousin coming too?
Nikita: Jorge's with me.
Dária: Oh, that's a relief!
Panel 2: Dária continues her tirade, much to the dismay of Pepper. Nikita looks back at her with a perplexed expression, but says nothing.
Dária (cont.): Cousin's a little too self-aggrandizing for someone who looks away when shit happens in front of him. "Oooohooo lookit me, only I can end world hunger!!" Ok, Steffanito, we get it.

Panel 4: Dária backflips into the cargo in a swift movement while she continues her tirade about Steffano.
Dária: You know his heart bleeds for the poor but it sure doesn't for a sibling! Even less for a cousin.
Pepper: Come on, c-can you blame him for taking after his own family?
