You need to practice because

Ok, I have a fun idea for lighting the backdrop for Saturday. One of the reasons why you need to practice all of these things before you do them is so you can discover you’ve lost key components, that they no longer sell what you’ve lost, and that the replacement duplicates stuff you haven’t lost. Fortunately I actually found them, but now I should act like a grown up and blip and go to bed. Meanwhile, in my office downstairs, I have a white backdrop and equipment set up. I told Karen not to go down there, let’s just not trip over anything. I’ll practice tomorrow. 

I have an additional person who has agreed to talk to me on the 12th about me shooting him. 

Today is throw-excess-candy-at-random-strangers-day but I was busy and forgot. This is probably for the best as I am not sure many people know about this holiday. 

Most Russians now support ending the war (!!!!) according to a poll published by Russia's Levada Center, an independent research organization based in Moscow. The survey found that 70 percent of Russians would support Putin should he decide to end the conflict this week. Now, that does drop in half if ending the war means giving back the parts of Ukraine Russia currently occupies, but it is still a surprise given that any criticism is harshly punished. 
New movie a huge hit in Ukraine. “Dovbush” tells the story of Oleksa Dovbush, a tale of love, violence, and betrayal set in the 18th century with castles and villages. It has themes of national self-determination and struggle against invaders. It has been seen by more than half a million people and earned close to $2 million making it the second-highest-grossing Ukrainian feature film since independence in 1991.
Oct 17 Ukraine did “Operation Dragonfly” and destroyed a bunch of Russian helicopters with M39 missiles shot with HIMars systems. How many? Ukraine initially claimed they destroyed nine. The US estimated 14. Using satellite imagery, open source analysts Geoconfirmed and Oryx counted 21 or 24 helicopters.
