Ignoring the title, this is a great read on how current sanctions fit with those deployed in the past, what’s working and what isn’t, and what’s coming.

Great thread. Interesting that as forecasts improve, the cone gets skinnier, which potentially makes misinterpreting it as “impacted area” instead of “possible *center* locations” even more dangerous.
One aspect potentially lost in translation with Hurricane Ian is that the NHC cone represents historical *location* errors - it does *not* denote where impacts are expected.
If the hurricane tracks on the edge of the cone, severe impacts will be felt well outside of it.

Highest-res drone footage of the Andover, KS #tornado which has received a preliminary rating of EF3. Note how the tornado propagates via vortex dynamics and likely terrain. Incredibly, no lives were lost by this tornado

Bucha. I never heard the name of this Ukrainian town until 16 hours ago, but I’ll never forget it for rest of my life. Hurts to confront these photos, but we cannot grow numb to this brutality. What we see isn’t just a massacre, it is a failure of “never again.” THREAD(Graphic)
Highly recommend this list if you’re looking to keep up with what’s going on in Ukraine. It’s a firehose, and use your judgment about any brand-new/unconfirmed info, but it’s been indispensable over the last few days.
Kudos to @jonostrower!

It seems hard to believe that Russia was expecting to take Ukraine without significant bloodshed, a la Crimea.
Massively stupid if true.
Encouraged by the spirited defense that 🇺🇦 has mounted so far. They’re still outmatched, but they’re punching well above weight class.
Many of these civilians are volunteering against extremely stacked odds and have no prior military training.
The poise and spirit with which they’re taking up arms to defend their homes and families is inspiring as hell.

Outside a National Guard base in Sloviansk, Ukraine, wives and girlfriends have come to see off the troops. They say they don’t know where they’re being deployed to yet.
It's hard to take a walk in Barcelona without seeing Oriol Bohigas' influence - he was "the great transformer".

Ever wondered why @RelayFramework has a compiler? We just published "Introducing the new Relay compiler" by @alunyov, @tianyu0 and @StatisticsFTW, in which we dive into that, as well as why we rewrote the compiler!

This is inspiring me to do something similar for web dev! Big 👏👏
