Apparenty the #newyorktimes have #estimated that 200k #russian #soldiers have #died in #ukraine so far: https://www.zerohedge.com/military/nyt-c.. I bet they are still having trouble #recruiting for this insane objective. Even if it's just 100k, it's seriously #demoralising for them. No #western #modern #war has seen such losses.
Jesus, what happened in #southkorea ? https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/scarie.. 146 people #died and 150 #injured in a #crowd #crush incident at a #halloween #celebration ... Absolute insanity.
The #creator of #uboot #wolfgangdenk has #died , a great #pioneer of the #opensource and #linux #communities https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2.. People have pointed out that his #code directly runs on #cars , #mobiles and even in #space . This is a pretty #enormous #legacy to have.
New #season of #pinkyblinders - absolutely excellent. It's awful that #pollygray #died in real life.
Worth keeping an eye on this #trend of people who " #died #suddenly ": https://www.zerohedge.com/political/worl..

Looking at the #reviews it looks like people either *really* like it or absolutely hate it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8042500/rev.. I'll give it a chance, but so far I'm not liking the #politics bullshit it brings in.Watched the first #episode of #ythelastman - I'm slightly #concerned ... It appears to be a #democrat #wetdream with all but one man apparently dying, and of course he's a #simp ... The show appears to #celebrate a #black #woman who #blows up some #white #supremacists - a woman who #kills a man - a woman who tells the #president he's a #racist and #sexist ... This #tv seems to be highly #ideologically charged. The #mass #death of all #men is pretty #dramatic though.

Initially I thought it was slow and not so much going on, but then the main character's #sister #died and then there was the true introduction of his ability, #timetravel and a #love interest. Actually quite a good story in the end, and the #artwork is pretty decent too.Just as I say these things about the #anime #charlotte - it suddenly gets better with #episode 7 with the death of the #sister ... Finally some actual predicament for the #characters !
