I've finished Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett, Narrated by Jon Culshaw.
Guards! Guards! Was my introduction to Terry Pratchett, so for me, it maintains a special position in the Discworld canon. But I also think that objectively, it is one of the best Discworld novels and a great place to start.
The world is fleshed out and the tropes are familiar to the average reader without much experience in Fantasy literature.
On this reread, I tried the new penguin audio adaptation and loved it.
I had trouble with other Discworld penguin adaptations, but with Guards! Guards! I had very little trouble adapting to the new character voices.
I learned that playing the audiobook at normal speed allowed me to appreciate the better voice acting.

Yes, Jackrum's voice grated on me as well.
In Small Gods it was Vorbis that sounded completely wrong to me, the narrator did not understand the type of villain Vorbis is.
Someone posted this pic of Kamala Harris from the 80's and said she looks like she played synth for a German New Wave band and tbh I'll never be this cool.

Ukraine has sent 1,000 tonnes of wheat to Gaza through Jordan as part of a 7,000-tonne package for the war-battered Palestinian territory.
The shipment, announced by the Ukrainian embassy in Amman, is Kyiv's first participation in the international effort to assist more than two million people struggling with acute shortages of food, water, fuel, medical care and shelter.

Israel started by adopting an old and unsuitable plan, continued by ignoring professional advice and the possible danger to the abductees – and ended quietly a few months later, anyone saying whether it achieved anything at all.Yaniv Kubovich (Haaretz)
GOP: The Dems have to stop exaggerating and calling Trump fascist.
Trump: “Get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore... You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”
I'm sorry, what is he suggesting, exactly? #VoteBlue to save democracy.

Vivian Wilson, a daughter of Elon Musk who he keeps verbally attacking at every possible opportunity for being trans, has spoken out on Threads about all the misinformation Musk has been spreading and how her experience of this abuse has been.
You can read many of her statements in the following posts:
1 - Debunking the Misinformation Thread
4 - Response to Conservative Reactions
(if your instance federates with threads you may be able to read them directly)
Keep it going, girl! ✨🏳️⚧️
![A post by “@vivllainous” on Threads saying “There’s a lot of stuff I need to debunk which I will get to don’t worry, but I want to start with what I find the funniest which is the notorious “slightly autistic” tweet. This is gonna be a bit so just bare with me”. Attached to this post is a screenshot of a tweet by Elon Musk saying “[BLANK] was born gay and slightly autistic, two attributes that contribute to gender dysphoria. I knew that from when he was about 4 years old and he would pilc out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell me it was “fabulous!”, as well as his love of musicals & theatre. But he was not a girl.”
Sidenote: the correct pronouns are she/her. She is a girl.
Vivian responds to this by saying “This is entirely fake. Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo Yiannopoulis school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random and said “eh- good enough” in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own fucking story.”](https://friendica.vrije-mens.org/photo/preview/640/3391903 "A post by “@vivllainous” on Threads saying “There’s a lot of stuff I need to debunk which I will get to don’t worry, but I want to start with what I find the funniest which is the notorious “slightly autistic” tweet.

'Copyright Traps' Could Tell Writers If an AI Has Scraped Their Work - Slashdot

So.
Anyway.
Major Chinese banks shut off Russia.
The result? A wildly superheated Russian "war economy" is about to go critical: it's going to blow up spectacularly. Putin go buh bye.
The political instability and internal struggle for power will quickly become a very dangerous time, because there's a lot of terrorists who would like nothing more than getting their hands on loose Russian nukes.
Truly a jesus take the wheel moment folks.
Hey. Whatever.
Go shopping, watch a game on TV.
Nukes are complicated. They have to be maintained or they simply won't work.
Or backfire.

Fox News posts this article mentioning the amount of Marijuana charges that were prosecuted while Kamala Harris was DA, basically stating that she's a hypocrite. It's nearly 2,000. What it neglects to mention is only 45 of them actually ended up doing prison time. Is she perfect? Nope, there are no perfect candidates, but always, ALWAYS, look for context.
Despite the substantial number of convictions, many of the people who were arrested for marijuana during Harris’ tenure were never locked up or never even charged with a crime.Casey Tolan (The Mercury News)
She hasn't been a DA since 2011.
They like to drag out historical stuff as if people, legislation and attitudes have remained static in the intervening 13 years.
YUP!
We want laws enforced with equity and due process. That's what the Executive Branch is for.
In order for laws to be enforced with due process, we need people with integrity to do the enforcing. Not felons -- rapists, frauds, and traitors.
