The long threads with analysis, etc, are here. 😊

2. There is a lot of documentation of incitement to genocide by Russian propagandists. I don’t want that to go away.

So I basically keep the account there as an archive, to notify people of posts here, and some random short posts

I do the vast majority of my posting here on Bluesky.

People ask why I keep my account there, and it’s for a few reasons.

1. There is a lot of data available to people by searching my posts. You know how long my threads are. People would lose a resource archive.

It looks like the feature might have been paused. I’m wondering why.

👉 They think they might get sued?
👉 Accounts fleeing?
👉 Powerful people funding bot farms told Musk to stop?
👉 They plan to blackmail people into paying to HIDE their location?

I’m in the U.S. which is huge, with a large population, but I imagine if you were in a tiny place, it might be concerning.

I know, big surprise, I’m am where I said I am. Honestly, my accent could probably be used as authentication.

Anyway…

I don’t know what is happening with this “about this account” thing over on Twitter.

I didn’t even know it was coming, and it seems like something that would open Twitter to litigation, because people didn’t have the option to opt out.

“As a reminder, surgeonfish are generally not aggressive, but may attack if they feel threatened.”

So…draw your own conclusions

“Only on the third day, when his hand had become severely swollen and painful, did the victim seek treatment at a local hospital. Doctors prescribed a course of antibiotics and antihistamines to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.”

“A Russian tourist felt a sharp pain in his arm immediately after coming into contact with the marine creature. The man required urgent medical attention, but initially dismissed the incident as a serious matter.”

Meanwhile in Russian Media…

“A Russian tourist was stung by a venomous surgeonfish in Sharm el-Sheikh.”

That’s a lot of mentions of the peace plan in a row

I took a peek over at the other place, and it looks like there’s been a big shift from crypto spammers back to porn spammers.

I think that might be a sign.

Omg, I really am not. I have to use so many stitch markers to see what I’m doing with this yarn. I’m getting better though.

They just do some more massaging of numbers.

If you click on the i in a circle next the “key rate” on the Russian Central Bank website, this pops up. The number comes from Rosstat calculations with the “consumer basket”

They didn’t, that was Moscow Times spin

Here is another reference.

You can see why Kuzbass region specifically is hurting badly as a result of the coal market collapse.

Here is reference point on “enterprises”

Based on the way they show up in Rosstat numbers, I would say that it would likely be that 26% are unprofitable

Sorry!

(But also, please feel free to point these things out, I want to make sure the information is correct, so I appreciate people paying attention to details)

Another correction: Sorry, I just copy and pasted the translation, I wasn’t paying attention.

Ignore the 45.

The minimum is going to go from 20% to 40%.

Sorry, I just copy and pasted the translation. Ignore the 45.

Um…you should really look into elevators in Russia. It’s a big and worsening problem.

Don’t forget the increases in taxes and fees in order to pay the bills.

Correction: IT IS NOT A SURPRISE

But I’m guessing you already figured out my typo from context

So, in summary,

It’s not the beginning of crisis, it’s the middle of one.

And

IT WILL GET WORSE
