I've come to realize that the browsing for something to watch on HBO, Netflix, etc. is a *massively* better experience on my laptop than on my TV. There's no going back now.

Ukrainian forces released videos of the operation against the two oilers Kairo and Virat in the Black Sea which tried to reach the Russian coast.
The message is clear:
If you are a shipowner trying to get Russian oil, expect that you will lose your whole ship.

Please note that the 39.95% includes *most* Republicans. So excluding them, the disapproval number is probably under 20%.
NEW: for the first time in his second term, President Trump has dipped below 40% approval, according to our presidential approval averages. He's experienced a sharp dip in the past month or two, mostly thanks to concerns about the economy.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

The head of the russian occupation administration in Donetsk Oblast said russia won’t be restoring some Ukrainian towns they destroyed, instead turning them into some kind of entertainment for future russian generations, so “they can understand the revival of Nazism.”

The Kremlin bet that offering lucrative business deals would convince the White House to ignore its war crimes in Ukraine. The bet paid off.
Also, get a look at the kicker here. Why, Witkoff asks, would Ukraine want missiles when it can get a tariff exemption?

This reminds me of how a fuckton of money was made by divvying up the scraps of the USSR.
1/ The Wall Street Journal reports that the main focus of the US-Russia peace talks is to get commercial advantage for American companies, and personal benefits for individuals linked to the Trump Administration. European officials are said to be shocked by the plans. ⬇️

Scandalously corrupt. Any US firm that gets involved in such a deal will deserve to have sanctions imposed on it in Europe, since it will be helping Putin to rebuild his economy & his forces for their next attack.

I see people blaming covid, and maybe there's something to that, but this really sounds like a rant that I might have done 15 years ago.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Israel and the United States are both, now, rogue nations, much as Libya was under Qadaffi and South Africa was under F.W. DeClerk et al. It would be cool if editors in the mainstream media would stop covering up and apologizing for their consistent criminality.

Exactly 80 years ago tomorrow (Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth should be very worried. www.executedtoday.com/2009/11/30/1...
