This is how you write a headline.
Telegraph headline:

Trump backstabs Zelensky for five minutes of midterm relief
Deal with Putin for Russia’s oil might soften the markets but Ukraine will pay the price

Any chance mainstream media might mention the fact that it is ILLEGAL for Trump to just import Russian diesel? At this stage, we’ll take anything close to basic journalism…

NEW: This is Zaporozhzhia, Ukraine last night. Family homes bombed by Russia. 5 adults and 3 children killed. 16 people were injured, including children. 12 people are missing. Trump and the United States might as well have dropped the bombs themselves. (🎥 Office of the Ukrainian President)

🚨Under the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act 2022, Russian diesel CANNOT be imported into the U.S. unless the President certifies to Congress that Russia has withdrawn from Ukraine, acknowledged Ukraine's sovereignty & no longer poses a threat to NATO.🚨 (Credit: @jayinkyiv.bsky.social)

The US is now simultaneously buying oil from Russia whilst sanctioning countries that do the same. A global embarrassment.

Just so we’re crystal clear: Trump is now funding the murder of Ukrainian women and children to try and win the midterms. America is lost.
The orange omnicunt posts:

I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

That all presumes it is a traditional form of pneumonic plague. Not a novel strain the Russians have been manufacturing as part of their bioweapons programme.

Two international flights have departed the city of Irkutsk in Siberia this morning, travelling from the epicentre of an apparent outbreak of pneumonic plague. This morning’s flights have travelled to Beijing in China and Uzbekistan. Madness. We have learned nothing.

1. Russia has an active bioweapons programme 2. Russia has a history of chemical attacks, including in Europe 3. Most EU countries have, in recent weeks, warned at the increased risk of Russian attacks in Europe. 4. Russia has a history of covering up biological accidents.

The silver lining to the horror story is that traditional pneumonic plague is inefficient at spreading - it kills its host far too quickly. However, given the international consensus that Russia has an active bioweapons programme, it would be presumptious to rule out a novel, weaponised strain.

Russia state media has since denied the accident at a BSL-3 lab in Irkutsk, Siberia. Earlier, the local municipality issued an order banning travel to the area. The published order has since been deleted from websites. Multiple international flights continue to arrive and leave the area.

It looks like the flash flood caused the river to rise 100+ metres in an instant. Unsurvivable for anyone in its path.
The photo shows the area of Syabrubesi in Nepal before and after the flood. Before, houses and multi storey buildings are seen on the hillside around 50 metres above the river valley below. The photo after the flood shows most completely wiped away and a grey scar carved along the valley where the water tore everything away.

One of the great photos of our time. Captured by Maximilien Lamy for AFP.
Smoke is seen in the distance across an expanse of water caused by a fast-moving wildfire near Lacanau in  southwestern France. In the foreground a middle aged couple are seen from behind relaxing on their beach loungers under a sun umbrella - as if it’s an entirely normal holiday. It is a very good visual depiction of life continuing amidst extreme climate change.

Dear
Tartan Army,
You came for the World Cup, but gave us something more.
For a week, you turned train stations into singalongs, Fenway into a football ground, and an ordinary June into something we'll be talking about for years.
Boston has hosted championships, parades, and celebrations of every kind. But we've never hosted guests quite like you all.
Thank you for the laughter, the bagpipes, and the memories. The World Cup will move on.
So will the songs, but we'll never forget the joy you brought to our city.

A scene looking from above across the White House grounds where the orange felon’s tasteless footprint looms large. The destruction of the East Wing by the pedophile apologist is visible to the right and, to the left, blocking the view of the main building is a half constructed UFC fighting ring.
