You poor bastard. I am re reading the series, I have read Dune maybe 4 or 5 timea but rest of the series only once. Shame my paperbacks are such poor quality, got them 17 years ago

I am rewatching that now, and agree. For some reason every rendition can't include Fenring as he was in the novel, 1984 omits him - same with the new one I think ? and in 2001 they do away with Margot and him as well to have Irulan handle that, as well as having a larger role. Shame the costumes really get in the way, the CGI is out of a Westwood game but that is just budget. Good to know Arrakis is Czechia in space.

Hey now, the Sword of the Righteous only cuts one way. Friend joked the IDF is just helping Palestinians fast for Ramadan. Power of euphemistic language, humanitarian islands.

One of these Ukrainian aligned Russian groups is pretty sketchy though. Makes all the cheering for them a bit funny.

The good kind of neo-Nazis apparently. Not sure what's going on there, they claim they're advancing, Russians say they knocked them all to hell.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68513408 Not a great look for the IDF. Oh wait, they all voted for terrorists so it's ok to treat them this way.

Well, I suppose people would want to attend a lecture in IMAX...

Ukraine ran low on artillery, and other stuff maybe, so might as well press while the going is good. I think they've been halted at a Ukrainian defensive line though, but will continue bashing their head against it anyway.

Ukraine's had a lot of AA losses recently as well, mostly their Soviet stock though. Patriots getting hit, even if just launchers, is a surprise.

Condolences, Katphood.

Just is an amusing undercut to the righteousness. But does make sense, is how the gang system rules based order works, have to be a team player. Not even sure what Slovak reactors need protecting from at this point, in any case.

Bruce is one of those people that wants protests to be off to the side and easily ignored. Probably just apply pressure. But also is just general outrage I suppose. People marched for Ukraine and not like Canada can really do much there either.

Can still give Russia money though, that's fine.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68492688 Reading on it it's a lot less exciting than it was first made out to be.

Russians finally got a HIMARS kill. The HIM part of those things really paid off.

Third time that ship was attacked apparently. Adapting to these drones will be interesting to see.

Also could have gone with felinetines.com, or maybe tinesoffelines.com

Surprised no complaints from Russians on the Su-34 downing. Near impossible to prove either way, could be blowing away decoys. https://www.aircargonews.net/airlines/freighter-operator/former-antonov-director-charged-with-negligence-over-an-225-freighter-loss/ Related I guess. Bit unfair to the director, given overall attitude towards invasion at time.
