Russia’s Embassy in Pyongyang had said last week it was actively promoting Russian language education for North Korean university students.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Trump and Hegseth want to go the other way.

BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders? McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took (Not a no!)

Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:

“I’ve got the best poll numbers I’ve ever had! Red hot!!!”

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.

Search and rescue have continued for a full day in Ternopil after a Russian strike on a high-rise. 22 people remain missing; 26 are confirmed dead, including three children. Over 230 rescuers from nine regions are working; some areas searched manually due to heavy damage.

For a while I've thought that the science develops in rather linear progression, when the knowledge is multiplied and preserved, maybe reaching plateau. But maybe it is a series of decade-to-centuries scale events, just like the "Golden Age of Islamic Civilization". Are we passing "the Peak West"? 🧪

Gotta love how Jon Karl and ABC News had this graphic ready to go *the very moment* that Hassett rolled out his Walmart anecdote.

Fam, not to worry… You too can decorate your home like the White House, and it’s just a click away.

Goodnight. "I fell into the abyss. I live in a world so strange, so foreign. Of the dream that was my life, this is the nightmare." Camille Claudel in a letter to Eugène Blot, May 24, 1935 (from Camille Claudel: A Life, by Odile Ayral-Clause).

It bears repeating how Russian shadow fleet tankers increasingly carry military officers in official Russian navy uniforms. The officers escort, intimidate, obfuscate documents and are generally uncooperative according to the Danish pilots who have an unique insight into these ships.

New map produced by RTVE, Spanish national TV, of the 6000 mass graves in Spain. In the last 25 years some 17,000 bodies of men, women and children have been exhumed out of the ~120,000 dumped in mass unmarked graves by the Franco regime. www.rtve.es/noticias/fos...
