A list where House is at # 95, the inane Lost/Leftovers/Severance are in the top third, and Killing Eve and Dollhouse are nowhere to be found is complete and utter bullshit.

The Russian barbarians who destroyed #Mariupol and murdered up to 100,000 of its inhabitants have now demolished a sign bearing the name of Mariupol in Greek. Before that they painted in the colours of the russian flag. 1/2

What an incredibly useful invention!
Partial screenshot of a marketplace page selling a cheap pouch. The size of the pouch indicated on one of the product images is 14 cm by 16. The "AI overview of item" states that the size is "10 x 10 x 5 cm". There is a disclaimer above the "AI overview" which states, "This content is generated by AI and does not represent the merchants (sic) opinion."

OTD in 2002 Ukraine dismantled its final Tu-160, supersonic heavy bomber. Having given up nukes, long range ability to threaten Russia and the entire firing chain, Ukraine was subsequently rewarded with invasion, concern and thoughts & prayers.

The problem with selling ‘intelligence’ as a product, is that you need to assume all your customers are thick. There’s no room for experts, everyone needs to have an intelligence deficit. So you end up telling Oscar winning scriptwriter Dame Emma Thompson that her writing could be better.

To provide context of how these things develop: we in Ukraine have passed the stage of coming up to a police cordon with carnations & sticking a carnation into a hole in a policeperson's shield back in 2004. By 2014, protesters were being shot at. I'm afraid the US of A are doing a crash course.

We got invaded PRIOR to becoming anti-Ru. Invasion _caused_ anti-Ru sentiment, which is completely logical and justifiable. Pic of dynamics of good/bad (blue/orange) attitude towards 🇷🇺 & 🇷🇺ns attached. Marked by arrows are Feb. 2014 and Feb. 2022 — PRIOR to killings on Maidan & full-scale invasion.
Statistical chart. Positive sentiment toward Russia among Ukrainians hovers around 90% up until end of 2010 (the year Yanukovych became president), is then between 80% and 85% for the next three years and is at 78% in February 2014. Then it drops sharply and varies betwen 30 and 50-something percent (mostly around 40%) until February 2022. Graph of negative attitude is an almost mirror image. Immediately prior to full-scale invasion, in February 2022, attitudes are 34% positive and 50% negative (this after 8 years of Russia waging a hybrid war in the East of Ukraine after illegal annexation of Crimea). As of October 2024, attitude of Ukrainians towards Russia is 93% negative and 3% positive. Data by Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).

That's what you get once you decide it's less escalatory to pussyfoot around an aggressive country. Had Russia gotten its teeth kicked in at least in 2014, the world would have been a safer place today. Ukrainians were the first victims & the West decided to drip-feed them into the maw. FAFO.

Can't comment bc OP has restrictions on who can comment on his posts, but no, this is not Ru/Ukr punctuation. This is (mostly) a perfectly cromulent English way of handling adverbials or other inserted remarks. Specifically, no Ru/Ukr-speaker would ever put "by telephone" in commas.

So the Trump administration are saying that unless Europe accepts their plan to help Russia they'll...help Russia. If you're trying to get people to do what you want, it generally helps if your carrot is different from your stick.

Random thought: Maybe adding Goldberg to the Signal thread was Waltz "blinking" (you know, as in, "if you are being held against your will, blink") & finding a limited-damage way out of this? Or, alternatively, an attempt to push Hegseth out (bc he was probably _bound_ to do something like this)?

These are just not some abstract principles that can be sacrificed to some kind of "realist" expediencies. If 🇷🇺 is allowed to keep even 1 sq. m of 🇺🇦 territory, its aggression has paid off. This means it will be back for more. This means I can't plan a life here, given I'm not a billionaire...
