Russian attack on an apartment building in Ternopil, Ukraine, 150km from Poland. They used a cruise missile to destroy the top of an apartment building, 25 dead so far including 3 children: They're just psychopaths. The sooner we exterminate Russian culture the better.

Merchants should be required to pass on credit card fees. It's ridiculous that we have cards giving 3% cashback, charging merchants 4%. There's cases where these fees even result in merchants losing money on every sale. The whole thing is a scam only made possible by the duopoly position credit card companies are in.

Russians sneaking into Pokrovsk, Ukraine, under cover of fog. Due to enormous numbers of Ukrainian drones, and their depleted reserves of actual military vehicles, they're riding to battle on the same crap you'd expect from Jihadis in the middle east.

Canadian military will rely on public servants to boost its ranks | Ottawa Citizen

...and guess which way public servants lean? Hard left. The real goal of this is most likely to ensure that the Canadian military can put down an internal civil war if needed.

Everyone is Craig Wright. Except Satoshi Nakamoto.

Some friends of mine have bought a used Ford 4x4 for Wild Division, of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade of Ukraine. I visited them earlier this summer: They already have the vehicle, and a volunteer driver. We're just trying to get another ~500€ to pay for the ferry and gas to Eastern Ukraine. So I thought it'd be fun to raise the funds with Arkade's new Ark wallet, arkade.money All you need to do is send funds to the Ark address I've setup: ark1qq4hfssprtcgnjzf8qlw2f78yvjau5kldfugg29k34y7j96q2w4t5pnjjnnvr9f46x3j6v2dmx64lqgqy87rf8y37z759esvv2rexj6crhdp5d You can fund your Ark wallet with either lightning or on-chain funds. I'm in control of that wallet, and I'll forward the funds to the people who need it. Civilian 4x4's are used by all the front line units. Unfortunately, due to funding constraints, there's nowhere near enough proper armored vehicles. So most of the smaller vehicles used for transportation tasks are unarmored civilian vehicles, painted with camo. It's frankly totally nuts that full scale warfare is being done this way... But Ukrainians have to make do. I've done a bunch of economic transactions with Ark myself, and haven't managed to lose any money yet. It's an interesting alternative to Lightning; most of my L2 paper last year was about Ark: petertodd.org/2024/covenant-… This will probably be the first fundraiser anyone has ever done with Ark! If we get more than needed for this task, I'll find more uses for it – they certainly can use more vehicles for example.
