@yewleea We still have to wait for the votes in Pennsylvania to be counted. It'll be close. Trying hard to hang onto some hope.

@haxyr3 Does the AI adjust intonation too? If not, I'd think that would sound unnatural after a while. As for translation – yeah, I noticed at 1:34 that Rihanna said ..когда я осознал... using the masculine verb form. 🙃

@steven_seegel And worth reading to the end, to see what Gershkovich wrote on the last line of the prisoner release form. Amazing.

@haxyr3 A friend who studied Russian at Dartmouth said they were once told "in 1st year we'll have to tell you some lies... in 2nd year, not so much... by 4th year we won't lie to you any more" 😂

I don’t say it often, but everyone should watch this video in its entirety.

The use of 'brave' as an adjective has become almost disposable these days, overused to the point of meaninglessness.

However, this video—filmed within 48 hours of learning that one of her greatest nightmares had become a reality—demonstrates remarkable bravery by Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of Alexei Navalny.

The power and clarity of her message and the decision to put herself directly in the crosshairs of Vladimir Putin and his security services is an example of extraordinary sacrifice.

Россия будет свободной!

@boudje @lauren_wilford Absolutely. I've had many coaches stress the importance of using physicality to get the tone where it needs to be. One voice actor called it "conducting himself" – it's incredibly helpful.

Ukrainians are stronger than cold and darkness.

Ukrainians are stronger than intrigues, falsehoods, psyops, pain, despondency, despair, and discord.

Ukrainians are stronger than fear.

Ukrainians are stronger than terror.

Ukrainians are stronger than evil.

Ukrainians are stronger than this war.

Ukrainians are stronger together.

Happy New Year 2024, Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!
