"Prisoners of Geography - our World explained in 12 simple maps" by Tim Marshall explains perfectly why Russia is after Ukraine in four pages and it has nice illustrations too.

"Prisoners of Geography - our World explained in 12 simple maps"  by Tim Marshall explains perfectly why Russia is after Ukraine in four pages and it has nice illustrations too.

Highly recommended illustrated book to immediately understand that Putin's narrative of "freeing the Ukrainians from neo nazies" is total BS and he's only there so he can feel like 1547 Ivan the Terrible and control the ports to secure access to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, while also controlling one of the World's biggest fertile lands.

"Redemption Song" by Bob Marley

Old pirates, yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Ooh, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our mind
Whoa, have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time

How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs

All I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom

For obvious reasons, planes are avoiding Ukraine air space.

Perhaps having a centralized system for messaging half of the world's gamers is not maintainable?

I am heavily sceptical of Discord and have had a lot of issues in the last days - nothing against the company and the apps are cool - but do we all really need to flock to it instead of having decentralized systems to communicate through?

My personal impression from Brian Eno's "55 Million Crystals" at the excellent Kristalwelten expo museum in Wattens, Austria

My personal impression from Brian Eno's "55 Million Crystals" at the excellent Kristalwelten expo museum in Wattens, Austria

The picture alone doesn't do the experience much justice as you need to also be there in person, alone in the emersive room with the ambient sounds also designed by Brian Eno. Overall, I highly recommend the "Chambers of Wonder" in the Kristalwelt museum if you ever get in the area of Innsbruck, Austria.

The realm of the Giant hosts a rich collection of precious items housed in 17 Chambers of Wonder. Here, in a world of fantasy inspired and designed by some of the world’s greatest artists, visitors can believe in miracles for just a moment.
