The city of Yelets, Lipetsk region, in Russia is under drone attack. Explosions and fires can be seen. The city hosts factories of Russia‘s military industrial complex.
🇱🇻 An optical cable belonging to a private company has been damaged in the Baltic Sea, #Latvia's Prime Minister Evika Silina said in a statement on Sunday, adding that the circumstances of the incident were under investigation.
FPV drones of Ukraine's 105th Territorial Defense Brigade struck a group of Russian soldiers. Both vehicles had electronic warfare systems active but that could not prevent them from getting hit.
Zelensky: Ukraine is preparing for key meetings in Europe next week to strengthen defense and push for peace. While diplomacy remains the goal, Ukraine will be ready to defend itself if pressure on Russia falls short. “We seek peace, but we will not give up our strength to anyone.”
Venezuela’s military has declared support for Delcy Rodríguez as interim leader following the capture of Nicolás Maduro by US forces. Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino confirmed Maduro’s security team suffered heavy losses during the operation. Armed forces across the country have been placed on high alert to defend national sovereignty.
Trump in an interview with The Atlantic: “If Delcy Rodríguez -Acting President of Venezuela- doesn’t do what needs to be done, she’ll pay a very high price, probably higher than Maduro.”
Latvia's Prime Minister, Evika Siliņa, reports that a undersea cable was damaged:
A damage to an optical cable belonging to a private company has been detected in the Baltic Sea near Liepāja. The incident has not affected Latvian communications users. I am in contact with the Crisis Management Center and the responsible services, while the State Police has initiated an inspection and the circumstances continue to be clarified.
UPD. Rescuers have recovered fragments of the body of a sixth victim from the rubble of a residential building in Kharkiv, destroyed by a russian missile strike on 2 January.
In an NBC interview, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismissed opposition leader María Corina Machado despite her broad support. “We’re dealing with short-term realities,” he said, stressing urgency over idealism.
Rubio downplayed the prospect of elections soon, calling it premature, and reframed U.S. involvement as guiding policy, not governing directly. He emphasized that Venezuela must not serve as a foothold for U.S. adversaries like Iran, Russia, or China.
Meanwhile, Colombia has deployed troops and armored vehicles to its border with Venezuela following Washington’s announcement of temporary control over Venezuela and its oil infrastructure.
It is increasingly questionable to speak of "regime change" in Venezuela, when Vice President Delcy Rodríguez is still in office. If you say that Maduro is illegitimate, then she is just as illegitimate. Same goes with the rest of the Chavistas, which are still untouched and very much in charge.
The people in Venezuela rightfully deserve change and freedom. Only a power transfer to Edmundo González or María Corina Machado can achieve that outcome.

A lot of the youtube channels I follow tend to involve somebody makingthings, so of course one of the videos my SO and I watched a few days ago was about walking around San Francisco Bay, and that recalled my desire to go to places by foot. Now, for health-related reasons doing it properly would be problematic, and thus I’ve never trained for that, but during this Christmas holiday-heavy time I suggested my very patient SO the next best thing: instead of our usual 1.5 hours uphill walk in the woods, a 2 hours and a bit mostly flat walk on paved streets, plus some train, to a nearby town: Porto Ceresio, on the Italian side of Lake Lugano.
I started to prepare for it on the day before, by deciding it was a good time to upgrade my PinePhone, and wait, I’m still on Trixie? I could try Forky, what could possibly go wrong? And well, the phone was no longer able to boot, and reinstalling from the latest weekly had a system where the on-screen keyboard didn’t appear, and I didn’t want to bother finding out why, so re-installed another time from the 13.0 image, and between that, and distracting myself with widelands while waiting for the downloads and uploads and reboots etc., well, all of the afternoon and the best part of the evening disappeared.
So, in a hurry, between the evening and the next morning I prepared a nice healthy lunch, full of all the important nutrients such as sugar, salt, mercury and arsenic. Tuna (mercury) soboro (sugar and salt) on rice and since I was in a hurry I didn’t prepare any vegetables, but used pickles (more salt) and shio kombu (arsenic and various heavy metals, sugar and salt). Plus a green tea mochi for dessert, in case we felt low on sugar. :D
Then on the day of the walk we woke up a bit later than usual, and then my body decided it was a good day for my belly to not exactly hurt, but not not-hurt either, and there I took an executive decision to wear a corset, because if something feels like it wants to burst open, wrapping it in a steel reinforced cage will make it stop. (I’m not joking. It does. At least in those specific circumstances.)
This was followed by hurrying through the things I had to do before leaving the house, having a brief anxiety attack and feeling feverish (it wasn’t fever), and finally being able to leave the house just half an hour late.
And then, 10 minutes after we had left, realizing that I had written down the password for the train website, since it was no longer saved on the phone, but i had forgotten the bit of paper at home. We could have gone back to take it, but decided not to bother, as we could also hopefully buy paper-ish tickets at the train station (we could).
Later on, I also realized I had also forgotten my GPS tracker, so I have no record of where we went exactly (but it’s not hard to recognize it on a map) nor on what the temperature was. It’s a shame, but by that point it was way too late to go back.
Anyway, that probably was when Murphy felt we had paid our respects, and from then on everything went lovingly well!
Routing had been done on the OpenStreetMap website, with OSRM, and it looked pretty easy to follow, but we also had access to an Android phone, so we used OSMAnd to check that we were still on track. It tried to lead us to the Statale (i.e. most important and most trafficked road) a few times, but we ignored it, and after a few turns and a few changes of the precise destination point we managed to get it to cooperate.
At one point a helpful person asked us if we needed help, having seen us looking at the phone, and gave us indication for the next fork (that way to Cuasso al Piano, that way to Porto Ceresio), but it was pretty easy, since the way was clearly marked also for cars.
Then we started to notice red and white markings on poles and other places, and on the next fork there was a signpost for hiking routes with our destination and we decided to follow it instead of the sign for cars. I knew that from our starting point to or destination there was also a hiking route, uphill both ways :) , through the hills, about 5 or 6 hours instead of two, but the sign was pointing downhill and we were past the point where we would expect too long of a detour.
And indeed, after a short while the paved road ended, but the path continued on a wide and flat track, and was a welcome detour through what looked like water works to prevent flood damage from a stream. In a warmer season, with longer grass and ticks maybe the fact that I was wearing a long skirt may have been an issue, but in winter it was just fine.
And soon afterwards, we were in Porto Ceresio. I think I have been there as a child, but I had no memory of it. On the other hand, it was about as I expected: a tiny town with a lakeside street full of houses built in the early 1900s when the area was an important tourism destination, with older buildings a bit higher up on the hills (because streams in this area will flood). And of course, getting there by foot rather than by train we also saw the parts where real people live (but not work: that’s cross-border commuters country).
Soon after arriving in Porto Ceresio we stopped to eat our lunch on a bench at the lakeside; up to then we had been pretty comfortable in the clothing we had decided to wear: there was plenty of frost on the ground, in the shade, but the sun was warm and the temperatures were cleanly above freezing. Removing the gloves to eat, however, resulted in quite cold hands, and we didn’t want to stay still for longer than strictly necessary.
So we spent another hour and a bit walking around Porto Ceresio like proper tourists and taking pictures. There was an exhibition of nativity scenes all around the streets, but to get a map one had to go to either facebook or instagram, or wait for the opening hours of an office that were later than the train we planned to get to go back home, so we only saw maybe half of them, as we walked around: some were quite nice, some were nativity scenes, and some showed that the school children must have had some fun making them.
Another Christmas decoration were groups of creatures made of evergreen branches that dotted the sidewalks around the lake: I took pictures of the first couple of groups, and then after seeing a few more something clicked in my brain, and I noticed that they were wrapped in green LED strings, like chains, and they had a red ball that was supposed to be the nose, but could just be around the mouth area, and suddenly I felt the need to play a certain chord to release them, but sadly I didn’t have a weaponized guitar on me :D
Another thing that we noticed were some benches in the shape of books, with book quotations on them; most were on reading-related topics, but the one with the Constitution felt worth taking a picture of, especially these days.
And then, our train was waiting at the station, and we had to go back home for the afternoon; it was a nice outing, if a bit brief, and we agreed to do it again, possibly with a bit of a detour to make the walk a bit longer. And then maybe one day we’ll train to do the whole 5-6 hour thing through the hills.

Hey, It’s super cold inside my appartment so I’m taking the opportunity to get my Christmas cards out and getting ready for the week! Lots to do! Staying warm, trying to stay healthy.

@AAKL it is perhaps a little known fact about me that when I was much younger, I was a gym rat. I was spending about five hours per day six or seven days a week in the gym split between early morning and afternoon sessions. I really miss that feeling.
I dont have a gym that is both close enough -and- affordable enough, that I could actually make it work. Inevitably the distance or the cost gets to me.
today was a little better than yesterday. Also, the gym didn’t feel nearly as crowded. I don’t know if that’s because today is a workday and it’s only us unemployed bums hanging out during the day.

Pediatric healthcare workers: "We can't wear masks because it's so, so, so important babies see our faces, even if it exposes them to dangerous viruses."
STUDY: "Findings suggest that masked and unmasked static faces equally attract newborns' attention and that surgical masks do not disrupt their face configuration processing."
Medical professionals need to start admitting they're just being selfish, not altruistic, by not masking around at-risk patients.

Yes, I know that last year was the first time FIFA ever gave out this award
Yes, I am aware that it was invented and awarded by the head of FIFA to curry favor with Trump, who was still in shock that he was passed over for the Nobel Prize
Yes, I’m aware that the main thing this award represents is corruption.
And let's not neglect to mention Jesus's sparkling blue eyes and flowing golden curls, the awe-inspiring effect of which proved instrumental to soccer's original explosive popularity.
Ohio is too hilly for soccer. Soccer was invented by the Church of Latter Day Saints, literally in salt fly in the state of Utah, so LDS missionaries could use soccer to spread the word of Jesus to foreign countries.

Exploring Nintendo 64DD Code Remnants in Ocarina of Time
What if you took a Nintendo 64 cartridge-based game and allowed it to also use a large capacity magnetic disc format alongside it? This was the premise of the Nintendo 64DD peripheral, and the topic of a recent video by [Skawo] in which an archaeological code dig is performed to see what traces of the abandoned product may remain.
The 64DD slots into the bottom of the console where the peripheral connector is located, following which the console can read and write the magnetic discs of the 64DD. At 64 MB it matched the cartridge in storage capacity, while also being writable unlike cartridges or CDs. It followed on previous formats like the Famicom Disk System.
For 1998’s Game of the Year title The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time such a 64DD-based expansion was worked on for a while before being cancelled along with the 64DD. With this Zelda game now decompiled, its source code has shown to be still full of 64DD-related code that [Skawo] takes us through in the video.
The Nintendo 64DD discs resembled ZIP discs. (Credit: Evan-Amos, Wikimedia) As is typical for CD- and magnetic storage formats like these 64DD discs, their access times and transfer speeds are atrociously slow next to a cartridge’s mask ROM, which clearly left the developers scrambling to find some way to use the 64DD as an actual enhancement. Considering that the 64DD never was released outside of Japan and had a very short life, it would seem apparent that, barring PlayStation-level compromises, disc formats just weren’t a good match for the console.
The interface with the 64DD in the game’s code gives some idea of what the developers had in mind, which mostly consisted out of swapping on-cartridge resources like dungeon maps with different ones. Ultimately this content did make its way into a commercial release, in the form of the Master Quest option on the game’s re-release on the GameCube.
Although this doesn’t enable features once envisioned, such as tracking the player’s entire route and storing permanent map changes during gameplay, it at least gives us a glimpse of what the expansion game on the 64DD could have looked like.

Questo è dovuto al fatto che troppo spesso le polemiche prodotte dagli ex utenti di un'istanza possono diventare oltre che moleste, un punto di vulnerabilità per tutto il Fediverso.
Poliversity è una comunità dedicata alla ricerca scientifica e al giornalismo, all'università e all'istruzione ed è nata per promuovere il diritto alla conoscenza e la corretta informazione
Gli amministratori possono decidere il bando di un utente in qualsiasi momento e senza esplicitarne le motivazioni perché hanno il diritto e il dovere di tutelare sé stessi, la serenità dell'istanza e la felicità degli utenti.

Accessibilità: descrivi immagini e video con la funzione di testo alternativo: c'è chi non può vederle
Divieti: sono vietati fascismo, razzismo, sessismo, omofobia, transfobia, abilismo, trolling, body shaming, doxxing, impersonificazione, molestie, risposte criptiche o allusive, spam, vendite, fake news, propaganda di potenze straniere; messaggi disturbanti solo con CW attivato

Civil War Veteran Samuel Decker Posing With Prosthetic Arms He Designed Himself, ca. 1867
Samuel H. Decker (1813–1894) was a Union artilleryman during the American Civil War who became famous for designing his own highly functional prosthetic arms after a devastating combat injury.

I'm taking a sick day! 🤢 #GoodMorning #Bonjour During the hectic chain of events yesterday, I was pretty stressed, and when I threw up suddenly, I suspected I reached my limit. Watched movies all afternoon. I've been sick since then, can't even hold down coffee. I'm mostly unavailable. L8R
Wisdom and fortune And winter joy Light this crystal morn Jupiter leads the moon His merry dance To the western horizon And in the east Mercury is rising And leads the blushing sun Into the lilac light Of love, and is lost As she turns to gold. Fieldfares, lit like silver angels Piping in the eleventh day Feasting on berries Bright as blood In the frost below the thorn. #poetry

Холод СМИ: американским компаниям предложили вложиться в нефтяную отрасль Венесуэлы Власти США предложили крупнейшим нефтяным компаниям страны инвестировать в нефтяную отрасль Венесуэлы, чтобы получить компенсации за потерянные там ранее активы. Об этом со ссылкой… t.me/holodmedia/36010
СМИ: управлением Венесуэлой со стороны США займется госсекретарь Марко Рубио
Команда национальной безопасности США во главе с президентом Дональдом Трампом работает над структурой управления Венесуэлой, сообщает The Wall Street Journal со ссылкой на неназванный источник.
Предполагается, что госсекретарь США Марко Рубио, который длительное время публично критиковал правление похищенного президента Венесуэлы Николаса Мадуро, займет ключевую административную роль в управлении страны. В обсуждениях возможной административной структуры участвуют также министр обороны США Пит Хегсет и советник по внутренней безопасности Стивен Миллер.
На данный момент, как отмечает издание, американские власти не имеют четкого плана по размещению военных или чиновников на территории Венесуэлы. Однако Трамп дал понять, что США так или иначе «будут присутствовать в стране, поскольку это касается нефти».

Today’s maddening encounter with the twisty corners of Italian grammar: getting corrected for saying “Che cosa potrebbe andare storta?” Instead of “Che cosa potrebbe andare storto?”

The Japanese Ministry of Defense reports that two North Korean ballistic missiles were launched last night and landed somewhere what is currently Russia's EEZ. Both projectiles flew in "irregular trajectories", indicating something out of the ordinary, like a malfunction.
Roman mosaic depicts the ancient practice of grape treading, also known as grape stomping or pigeage (200 AD), from the Roman villa known as the House of the Amphitheatre in Mérida, Badajoz Province, Spain.
Grape treading was a traditional winemaking method where people trampled grapes barefoot in vats to release the juice for fermentation. This practice was widespread in the history of winemaking in ancient Greece and Rome, where it was often a communal celebration.

И что, мадурка, помогли тебе твои москали? Схема все та же что была в Сирии и Иране. Истошный визг рабсеянской пропаганды, типа Армения, Сирия, Иран, Венесуэла…надежный союзник и что ему будет оказана вся необходимая помощь в случае противостояния. Всякие заявления официальных лиц в стиле «мы не допустим», «мы дадим жесткий ответ», «окажем любую помощь, которая понадобится»… По факту, рабсеюшка каждый раз жидко сходила под себя. МИДа хватило на глубокую обеспокоенность и призывы в стиле «верните Колю обратно». Царь сейчас вообще ничего не говорит ртом, а издает рычащие звуки нижней частью фюзеляжа в секретный чемоданчик. Представляя себя на пути в гаагский трибунал. И по факту-же получается, что Трамп устроил рабсеюшке маленькую победоносную прокси-войнушку, да? И тут же выиграл ее, без всяких со стороны рабсеюшки «сюрпризов», да? А кто-кто у нас на планетке еще заинтересован проверить, действительно ли парашка милитарно импотентна настолько, как показала себя в Украине? 😂
Для тех, кто сравнивает события в Венесуэле с Украиной напомню: сравнивать действия Трампа в Венесуэле с действиями хуйла в Украине не совсем корректно потому, что хуйло в 2014 году вторгся и аннексировал суверенные украинские территории. США не аннексируют Венесуэлу, не совершают геноцид, не говорят, что венесуэльцев не существует, не убивают испаноязычных, чтобы «защитить». В 2024 году хуйло ставил цель отстранить от власти легитимного, признанного всем миром президента Зеленского. Мадуро не является легитимным президентом — ни с точки зрения собственного народа, ни признанным президентом со стороны США, ни со стороны ЕС, поскольку Мадуро фальсифицировал выборы.
If our American ‘partners’ get their hands on Venezuela’s oil fields (and they have already got their hands on Guyana’s fields), they will control more than half of the world’s oil reserves. And, apparently, their plans include ensuring that the price of our oil does not rise above $50 per barrel.
This means that it will be difficult for our sacred state capitalism to leave everything as it is: not cutting costs, not getting rid of non-core assets, continuing to engage in grandiose projects without the necessary expertise and without the participation of private business in order to develop competition (and in general, it will become difficult to put pressure on private business, because starting this year, it is becoming the main contributor to the federal budget, and next year it will bear the main burden).
Если наши американские «партнёры» доберутся до нефтяных месторождений Венесуэлы (а до месторождений Гайаны они уже добрались), под их контролем окажется больше половины мировых запасов нефти.

Мужчиназастрелилюношу на глазах родных и сбежал с его головой Жестоким убийством закончилась в Южно-Африканской республике традиционная церемония умгиди, которой завершается обряд инициации местных юношей, пишет издание TimesLIVE.
По его данным, один из участников обряда — 27-летний Луксоло Йоко — был убит другим мужчиной, присутствовавшем на церемонии. По словам деда погибшего Ливингстона Матшини, нападавший внезапно бросился на его внука.
Tried painting a sloth without it turning into green mush. Layered strange shadow colors and fought for fur texture at this size. Honestly kinda proud of how soft it turned out. #sciart #watercolor
Oh a LOT is going on here. The world has ended, that much we know, but … not yet? There are only primitive figures left, one guy holding a bible (someone confirm for me please?) but there's a ghost as well. Why is he climbing to the top of that mountain?

В 2026достигнем гендерного равенства? В Италии — правая министрка. В Японии тоже. Примеры женщин-консерваторок часто используют в спорах о гендерных квотах. Мол, если женщины ничем не гуманнее мужчин, разве квоты что-то меняют?
Так ли эффективна политика, которая способствует увеличению числа женщин в органах власти? И могут ли они сделать политику более инклюзивной и справедливой?

why do the people of America refuse their duty to neutralise them?
evidently it is because the people of America want this evil to continue to living.
