Ever get confused because you thought you and someone were talking about the same thing, but very little was getting through? See below...

Want to let 🇷🇺 take 🇺🇦? Let me take your backyard. I want it. No weapons; no police -- that only escalates & prolongs my takeover. Stand aside, let me have it - actually, your whole house. Then I'll take your neighbor's house, which I also want. #StandWithUkraine️ #SaveMoldova

This is hilarious! @vrbo prompts Twitterverse for positive vibes and gets *only* complaints in reply -- including more than one (not funny) *dangerous property* reply. #vrboNO @expedia @VrboPartners #badCompany @Airbnb #customerfeedback #badservice #travelhacks

What's your summer anthem? 🎧

We'll go first: Levitating by Dua Lipa 🎶 🪩

@vrbo #vrbo #vrboNO ... nice when it works, but if it goes wrong, VRBO will help you? NO

[Randy Heffner @RSHeffner]

@vrbo: Should be many hashtags like #VRBObadService or #VRBOstrandsCustomers or #VRBOlovesHostsNotGuests etc. I do still owe my story to Twitterverse...coming after I regain *hours* lost waiting on phone for VRBO "service" reps. @VrboPartners @Airbnb @Expedia #customerLast

#ZeroTrust: @vrbo just *killed* any sense of #trust I had -- bad idea for a trust-based business. More details later, but they prefer risking you stranded last minute in foreign land over facing a completely unresponsive host. @VrboPartners #badservice @Airbnb #traveltips

With mixed heart, though profound love, I offer these alternate lyrics as my Back Side Star-Spangled Banner. Pure praise for USA is good, but not fully true.

Chilling, yet there is a profound and deep human connection in expressions like this.

ICYMI, this brave protest mirrors one of the victims of (to all credible accounts) #Russia's extreme brutality and inhumanness in Bucha.

[Franak Viačorka @franakviacorka]

Dehumanization of society. Many Russians choose not to notice the war in Ukraine, others openly support atrocities. An activist conducted the protest in Moscow downtown: he lay down on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, like victims in Bucha @holodmedia

[Randy Heffner @RSHeffner]

Priceless.

A story.
Of a mother.
Of Putin's mother.
Sent back from the grave and dropped in Red Square to wander, to observe.

Putin's mother stumbles upon the truth in this short story: As in 🇺🇦@olex_scherba's book, #PutinHitler could've long ago chosen a win-win world w/🇷🇺 prosperity. Alas, he instead dug in on confronting West.

Another reason #PutinHitler #PutinStalin must be stopped: The more ground taken, the more people will be abducted/disappeared.
FWIW the report is credible enough for @NPR: https://t.co/1kZYBmoTz5

This is Ivan Fedorov, mayor of Melitopol, which is controlled by RU troops for several days. Today he was kidnapped with plastic bag on head from crisis center, where he continued to govern the city after he denied to work with occupants. Terror continues #RussiaInvadedUkraine

[Randy Heffner @RSHeffner]

I had to write something, prompted by this present madness.

[LifeLoveIllusion @LifeLoveIllusio]

New short story is up: "Mother of Russia"
https://t.co/k9kIZiAOfv
In Red Square, a mother wonders about the happiness of a son she has not seen for decades. She listens to others, observes the Square, and seeks to find him.

Ukrainian MPs signing national anthem of Ukraine 🇺🇦

Despite Russian bombs attacking Kyiv, they had a session in the parliament today to vote for the essential laws.

[Randy Heffner @RSHeffner]

I'm troubled by talk dissing concern for #Ukraine vis-à-vis #Palestine/#Syria/#Yemen... -eg, @latimes. Yes, watch for bias but don't lose sight: only w/#UkraineInvasion did a lying madman unleash overwhelming force on a peaceful country. #SaveUkraine #StopOppression #PutinsWar

[Randy Heffner @RSHeffner]

@sanjiva Thanks for sharing, Sanjiva. There's lots of useful thinking here, although it has a major miss in its omission of the services sector as a development vector. I'll have to keep my eyes out for material on how including services might improve the analysis.

Some reputable voices say that #WorldWar3 has already started. Just sayin'

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

To the world: what is the point of saying «never again» for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the same site of Babyn Yar? At least 5 killed. History repeating…
