Something To Notice

The weather today appears to be a dreary wintery mix that calls to my heart to find a good book to read. I notice from finding old book lists, I don’t read enough. 

Also, I forgot to add a weekly foreign phrase as posted a few weeks ago here.

How is the weather?

Japanese: Tenki wa dodesu ka 

Pronounced as it appears above

I’m using my cell phone again. Later today I will be on my laptop to reply and post comments. 

Not posting about politics is not easy.

I will state though, I support the Ukraine!

Something else I notice: Years ago in the early 2000s, Internet trolls cruised comments on discussion boards frequently. A tactic meant to upset people is to accuse them of the bad behavior. Comments directed to trolls would be twisted into a don’t tell me what to do or don’t tell me how I should feel. 

The troll’s goal is to escalate the discussion by acting as the victim. Yesterday, I watched part of the video where President Zelensky of the Ukraine is subjected to pure spot on classic troll behavior. I applaud him for keeping his cool. 

If it was me, I would have wanted to stand up and walk out. I know I wouldn’t do that because the people of my country need the help the trolls can provide to survive the unprovoked invasion and brutal slaughter at the hands of Russia.
