Ukraine’s president stresses importance of focusing on path to victory

Kyiv (The Times Groupe) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that society and Kyiv’s partners should not lose sight of the path that must be followed in order to defeat Russia.

“Compared to last year, it’s quieter in many places now. But this does not mean that somewhere you can ignore the war or be less focused on helping the state,” Zelenskyy said during an evening address.

“We have managed to do a lot together with our partners to protect people. Ukraine and the whole of Europe. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to rest on our laurels. We have a long way to go. The movement is forward. It’s something for which we need unity no less than before. We must be no less focused than before,” he said.

“Just as before, our positions at the front, all our soldiers at their positions must be supported by Ukrainian positions politically and in terms of information, by the power of weapons and the power of our social unity, our internal stability and the strength of Ukraine’s ties with the rest of the world.” TIMES OF OCEAN

Zelenskyy also said that this is the task of the state and its people, both on the domestic and international level, who value “a free life and an international rules-based order.”

“It is foolish to just passively hope that someone else will bring victory, the one who is now in the trenches, the one who is now performing assaults. This is a joint task. Everyone wins. Those who fight for it, and those who provide weapons. Those who reduce the capabilities of the terrorist state, and those who increase those of Ukraine,” he added.

“Ares…is a moron.”

I honestly don’t think that anyone is more amused by the whole “this douchebag decided to try and fight the child of the sea god on a fucking beach” of it all than Poseidon.

#not even in a ‘how dare you try to kill my son!’ kind of way #but in a ‘how genuinely dense are you? this is why we needed another war deity’ #will be brought up at every family dinner for millennia afterwards #every time ares tries to make a point from then on ‘you fought a son of poseidon by OPEN OCEAN YOU DON’T GET AN OPINION’ #pjo tv show #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #poseidon #poseidad #ares pjo #ares #percy jackson

getting older can be so amazing? you get more familiar with yourself. learn tips & tricks for troubleshooting your own brain. trial & error helps you build routines that minimize discomfort, maximize reward. your preferences/interests don't get set in stone, but you do find out which ones are going to stay with you in the long-term, and which ones are fun but transient joys to appreciate in the moment.

you learn that the world is so much more complex than you were taught, and that that's okay, and that there's an endless supply of things you can learn or watch or experience or think about if you want to. if you're lucky, you loosen up, stop putting so much pressure on yourself. if you're lucky, you learn to recognize that negative inner voice, and whack it with a baseball bat until it hushes up. if you're lucky, you learn to treat yourself gently, not because you are fragile but because you are worthy of gentleness. (i hope you are lucky.)

and some things will change. some things will get better. some things will get good. and maybe you start to recover from the dehumanizing stress of childhood/education. maybe you learn the power of your own autonomy. maybe you learn how to walk away from bad situations (which is a superpower even if you don't realize it yet). and you get to choose your own clothes. and your own food. and which relationships to pursue! and what you do with your free time. and with your life (but don't worry you get to choose that gradually). and that's crazy! and sometimes scary. and extraordinarily, indescribably precious.

#not a shitpost #and as long as you are alive there will be another good moment waiting for you in the future #the profound joy of your favorite foods #the incalculable luxury of waking up and lounging in bed and falling back asleep #a cold glass of water after a walk in the hot sun #petting an excited dog. a cat rubbing up against your ankle. the sight of a confused chicken #glorious these beads we string together to form our own existence #getting older means time is passing. and i hope you are passing that time in ways that make you happy #i hope you have so many moments of joy that they can be as easily counted as drops of water in the ocean

i love it when you read multiple works from a writer and you start being able to pick out the things that stick with them. like the themes they keep thinking about, that can’t be satisfied with just one poem or novel or story. or the motifs they like to reuse and recycle throughout their works like an extradiagetic thread. it’s like drawing a map through a writer’s collection of all the things that keep them up at night

#thinking about ruth ozeki and crows. and the ocean #the book of form and emptiness #a tale for the time being #also so many things about the amazing devil #singing silence and smashing plates like waves and heart-like wallpaper

France's Macron faces protest during speech in Netherlands

France's Macron faces protest during speech in Netherlands

Istanbul (The Times Groupe) – A group of protesters jeered at French President Emmanuel Macron during his speech in the Netherlands on Tuesday.

While Macron was describing his vision for the future of Europe at the Nexus Institute in The Hague, protesters unfurled a banner reading “President of violence and hypocrisy” and shouted, “Where is French democracy? Where did we lose it?”, the Dutch News said.

Their anger was exacerbated by a controversial French pension reform bill, recently passed without parliamentary approval, and police violence against protesters.

“There are millions of people in the streets, conventions of climate have been disregarded, what can you say about Europe?” shouted one protester.

Despite Macron’s attempts to respond, he was drowned out by the demonstrators. Protesters were forced out of the lecture hall by security guards.

Following the removal of the protesters, Macron resumed his speech, saying: “It is very important to debate.”

According to Macron, the retirement age will be raised to 64 by 2030 as part of the pension reform bill.

In some European countries, the retirement age is even higher, and reform is needed.

Pension reform plan fueled ire

In January, the government unveiled the reform project, and parliament began debating it in February.

Demonstrations and walkouts have been held by workers and unions against the reform, which would also require at least 43 years of employment to qualify for a full pension.

On March 16, Macron and Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne used special constitutional powers to force the plan through without parliamentary approval, raising political and social tensions.

Because the government does not hold an absolute majority in parliament, lawmakers could block the reforms.

The police were accused of making arbitrary arrests and using excessive force during violent protests. TIMES OF OCEAN

On April 14, the French Constitutional Council will finish examining the bill.

On Thursday, trade unions will stage a 12th round of protests. FRANCE FRANCE

do you ever listen to an album that you love and feel like it loves you back. not the actual artist not in a parasocial way but the music itself knows you’re listening and likes you and wants to say hi. i know i have a weird autism thing about personifying music and sound so maybe it’s just me but i do feel like that sometimes
