Seems real enough. Considering who the Comm. Director is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Cheung_(political_advisor) it isn't surprising.

As usual, people championing free speech are full of it.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us-ukraine-prepare-sign-minerals-deal-tuesday-sources-say-2025-03-04/ "President Donald Trump has told his advisers that he wants to announce the agreement in his address to Congress Tuesday evening, three of the sources said, cautioning that the deal had yet to be signed and the situation could change. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment." Better sign it, he'll be super pissed if he doesn't have something for his speech tonight. Or not ?

I, too have purchased Old World. Played a bit of the tutorial, so far. Finished off Chapter 4 in D4 season journey as I am lazy.

Welp. fun time with tariffs.

Almost coming to heel.

Any excuse to reference Red Alert. https://archive.ph/gmJ7i "The US is pausing all current military aid to Ukraine until Trump determines the country’s leaders demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace, according to a senior Defense Department official, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The official said all US military equipment not currently in Ukraine would be paused, including weapons in transit on aircraft and ships or waiting in transit areas in Poland. Trump ordered Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to execute the pause, the person said." Had thought they'd at least let stuff getting delivered get through. I guess this might not be too impactful a cut off, at least for a couple weeks.

"Your mom", for all 5. Edit : Reminds me I've gotta get up a 7 AM and essentially do that, reporting what I did to people that don't care

Better not show Trump Section 13 there, to be honest. As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directives_for_military_officers_and_military_commanders_in_the_event_of_an_armed_attack_on_Norway#The_directive

New zone in WoW is nice in terms of the feel and the soundtrack is great. Usual open world stuff, the activity where you shovel trash is...well, trash. The new drifting mount isn't that great in my opinion, but my reflexes never were and are shot anyway.

Well he's right at least about the EU should make their own talks with Russia. That might be pretty productive, I am still unsure if Putin is insane enough to attack them and they don't seem to care about Ukraine in the EU.

Wonder if the minerals are actually there.

Getting a bonus in 2 weeks, woo. Maybe I will finally build a new PC

Apparently Trump was also irked by his attire. Guess it doesn't matter when it's Musk. Being MTG's boyfriend still doesn't elevate him from rando. Language seemed to be the issue. I am still puzzled where the disrespect in Zelensky's part is, well unless Vance was sticking up for Putin. Getting a kick out of people thanking Trump for defending the US though. Ukraine really needs one good diplomat, they've always had ones saying stupid crap, like Melnyk. I believe Yelnak was the guy behind this meeting as well, apparently Kellogg disagrees (source is NYP though...)

Shame Trump babbling like a dementia case won't hurt him an iota. Poor preparation by Zelensky and his team, should have told him to hold his tongue regardless of whatever nonsense the muppet Vance said. Seems like confusion on two parts there, at least reviewing the transcript. Vance goes on some unprompted ass kissing speech, Zelensky is arguing that diplomacy with Putin is pointless and then Vance gets stroppy. Maybe Zelensky was in a bad mood to begin with, some random journo was on his case for not wearing a suit, heh, And a start - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/state-department-terminates-us-support-ukraine-energy-grid-restoration-rcna194259 Seems a bit extreme a scheme to pull off. Maybe Macron just foolishly thought it'd go smoothly

Jesus Christ.

https://www.npr.org/2025/02/24/nx-s1-5305269/tesla-state-department-elon-musk-trump "But NPR has obtained a State Department document detailing that Biden's State Department planned to spend just $483,000 in the 2025 fiscal year on buying electric vehicles and $3 million for supporting equipment, like charging stations. It represented less than 1% of the hundreds of millions of dollars likely destined for Tesla vehicles after the Trump administration quietly revised a State Department procurement document."

Wife and dog too, damn. I assume CO poisoning

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/us/politics/egg-prices-us-imports.html I think Ukraine has a lot of eggs, should have used that as leverage
