@swhnorton@antoniogm@zachcoelius This sounds legit - TJ wants their customers to enjoy only in-store experience shopping in-person, also due to having so many exclusive items. And the basket size comes into play too as a result.
@antoniogm While it’s good news I think it’s too early to celebrate, unfortunately. Looks like they are regrouping to increase their presence in the Eastern part of the country to eventually take it over. I am pretty sure the goal is to show off at the parade on May 9, and “wins” are needed
@antoniogm In addition, this small country is the only one that is capable to fight to get rid of this Soviet/KGB/FSB plague that wants to reinstantiate USSR borders and has already occupied some countries/territories, claiming “we are brothers” and wiping out nations and cultures.
@ndrukelly And this Azov thing (from the letter) is nuts. One of the fundamental demagogue technique - exaggerate small, not important details - eventually it worked really well in both Western and Eastern hemispheres.
@ndrukelly These letters are intended to spread panic and manipulate people, because there’s no cell reception/internet connection - no news and communication. But how do they expect people to subscribe to Telegram channels using a QR code while there’s no internet connection?
“…my hopes that Mariupol was going to survive were fading. I understood that just to reach the city, the Ukrainian army would have to break through so much ground. And it wasn’t going to happen.”

@antoniogm I’ve just talked to a person whose relatives had been sitting in a basement in Mariupol for 20 days until they escaped a few days ago. Needless to say it was a nightmare
@ndrukelly I recall it was not frequent and took about 15 mins. Sometimes there was downtime during holiday season. But things might have changed since then.
in a world without trust, the problem isn't people stop believing the truth. the problem is people will believe *anything* is true. @atroyn in pirate wires this week: russian propaganda, the collapse of the soviet union, and was lenin literally a mushroom? https://t.co/y4QLozn57j
@micsolana Maybe when people started endorsing know-it-all analysts that cannot even verify the information they share. One of the examples is here when the post is based on the image taken from a Russian propaganda resource, and some cities are clearly off.

The maps disagree on the specifics, but they all agree that Russia is advancing a bit every day. Not the impression one gets from social media. People are mistaking the American ability to inflict pain on Russian society and the military with winning the war.
