Since 2019 I’ve been in an expensive, stressful legal battle to protect Webcomic Name (my “oh no” comics). It’s a relief to finally talk about this publicly! I’m launching a crowdfunder to pay my remaining legal fees to end this. 1/8 gofund.me/7478032b

No. This is false. I helped to create two different billion-user projects at Apple: WebKit and iPhone. I was on these teams from the earliest stages and I never once came close to sleeping at the office. It’s not an essential part of doing great work.
This is how great new things are built, more often than anyone has been willing to say during the last decade's cultural revolution in Silicon Valley.

He survived the Holocaust. He was killed in Russia’s “denazification” operation.
Boris Romantschenko survived the concentration camps #Buchenwald, #Peenemünde, #Dora and #BergenBelsen. Now he has been killed by a bullet that hit his house in #Charkiv, #Ukraine. He was 96 years old. We are stunned.

Since I'm seeing a lot of misinformation surfacing about the Ukrainian logistical posture. It is time for a thread🧵on planes, trains and automobiles in the Ukraine war in relation to NATO Lend Lease. Where are the Russian red arrows compared to the Ukrainian train tracks? 1/

A dark thread. That I don't disagree with. It's not at all clear how Putin gets out of this.
No Russian leader since Tsar Nicholas II has done his country so much harm, so fast, as Vladimir Putin. He has isolated Russia from world trade, made the ruble worthless, destroyed 25 years of economic gains in a a week. 1/x

Now of course we have to treat these people like human beings – they’re white!
'Our approach to Ukrainian refugees should be wholly different. We've got war in Europe.' Former Home Secretary @AmberRuddUK tells @Emmabarnett that she thinks the Home Office needs a whole new approach to deal with refugees from the Ukrainian conflict: bit.ly/3HVfoGV

Given the massive profits the energy companies are making, and seeing how France has been able to keep energy inflation to 4% with a windfall tax, its bewildering that Johnson refuses to impose a windfall tax on energy companies to support families.

Poland has welcomed 1.2 million refugees from Ukraine. The UK has issued just 760 visas. The UK’s response to the Ukrainian refugee crisis is a total disgrace.

I've got a piece on the Guardian today, about how the UK sold Putin's key ally in Ukraine pretty everything he wanted. If you want to understand the background to the failure to act against oligarchs now, this is it. theguardian.com/news/2022/ma…

New analysis by @REDRESSTrust shows the UK has imposed targeted sanctions on 34 individuals or entities in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The EU has imposed over 500 and the US over 240. It’s unacceptable. We need to move faster and harder against Putin’s cronies.

It has now been more than a week since Russia invaded Ukraine. At this stage, early explanations are no longer sufficient and analysts need to ask the big question: Is the Russian Air Force Actually Incapable of Complex Air Operations? rusi.org/explore-our-researc… #Ukraine #Russia
