Ukraine is winning the economic war against Russia for the first time since the start of the full-scale invasion, The Economist reports.
Thanks to effective government policies and Western support, Ukraine's economy outperforms Russia's in key areas: GDP growth forecasts, a stable key interest rate of 13.5%, and the hryvnia's resilience.
However, challenges remain, including shortages of electricity, funds, and manpower.
In 2025, Western partners are expected to cover nearly the entire budget deficit. But if the United States withdraws its financial support, Ukraine could face significant difficulties in 2026.

TIL that American founding father Aaron Burr was an early supporter of giving women education and the right to vote. He was also a notorious womanizer who frequented sex workers and fathered multiple children with many different mothers, including an Indian servant who worked in his house.

Trump says any shutdown ‘is a Biden problem to solve’
President-elect Donald Trump worked Friday morning to foist the blame for any potential government shutdown onto the current White House, insisting that the funding fight on Capitol Hill “is a Biden problem to solve.”
Lawmakers had seemed on track earlier this week to fund the government with time to spare, settling on a bipartisan stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution or CR, that would extend government spending into March and included a lot of add-ons to appease Democrats and others. But that plan quickly drew the ire of Trump ally Elon Musk, followed by the president-elect and Vice President-elect JD Vance, tanking that bill. Still, with government funding set to run out at midnight on Friday, Trump insisted that it is President Joe Biden who should be held responsible for any shutdown. “If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden Administration, not after January 20th, under ‘TRUMP,’” the president-elect wrote on Truth Social. “This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!”
Of particular interest to Trump amid the ongoing spending negotiations is an increase, or outright removal, of the government’s debt limit. The president-elect has insisted that any funding package include such a provision, an especially tough pill to swallow for conservatives who have for years forced painful debt limit fights on Capitol Hill.

Sam Melia is set to be released from prison today after serving nearly 9 months in prison for stickers.
9 months away from his wife and family.
He was locked up whilst his second daughter was born.
However, he is not being released home but rather secure accommodation provided by the state with extreme conditions attached far away from them.
Meanwhile Huw Edwards and his baby rape paedo friend get to go home no problems.
You think you hate the judiciary enough, you don't.

"Leibniz–Newton calculus controversy"
>A letter to the founder of the French Academy of Sciences, Marin Mersenne for a French scientist, or to the secretary of the Royal Society of London, Henry Oldenburg for English, had practically the status of a published article. The discoverer could "time-stamp" the moment of his discovery, and prove that he knew of it at the point the letter was sealed, and had not copied it from anything subsequently published.

The Litany Against Retardery
Some may find this philosophical mantra to be useful as they are subjected to a non-stop stream of retardery from the Non-Player Characters in their lives mindlessly regurgitating their mainstream programming.

⚡️🇺🇸 Why does the US boast about its "culture of war"?
The commandant of the US Marine Corps, General Eric M. Smith, recently claimed that the US military has built a "culture of war" thanks to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, while the Chinese military lacks combat experience, which is something it can "only brag about".
"We have the advantage because our last fight was recorded on someone's 'iPhone 14'. The Chinese's last fight was recorded on oil and canvas, and they should not forget that," Smith said.
According to the Global Times, these historical remarks are not just a product of ignorance, but also indicate a "narrow image" of the US commander.

Only in Canada will they force you to wait for hours to be attended to at the ER. Or possibly never. You’ll never be attended to and the doctors don’t care.
