Soup and bread is genuinely great if you have them available and don’t want to put effort into cooking. It’s the right kind of simple and hearty thing that helps when you feel run down

It has, but the article is specifically associating this bill with the more recent reveals about Peter Mandelson. Both general public awareness of Mandelson’s association with Epstein and his appointment as ambassador to the US that brought that connection to the current government’s attention happened well after the introduction of the bill. The article draws no other connection to Epstein whatsoever, only Mandelson

The article does mention Epstein, but this Bill was first introduced to parliament way back in 2024

Turquoise Cyprus

(More seriously it’d probably be Türkish if you were going to do that, but as far as I’m aware the request at the UN to use the name Türkiye does not seem to have come with a new adjectival form to go with it)

As the article says, Mexico said it didn’t want American troops in the country. There is no indication that that happened. The US contribution here, as far as we know just now, is information

Even then, though, Mexico may well decide that even if it doesn’t want US troops, bringing them in to cooperate might be preferable to fighting the US over it when the US is being so belligerent

You don’t have to like Cuba’s government to have some sympathy for the people. Countries regularly send food aid to North Korea when its people are starving

“Quietly” as in it’s being done with far fewer bombs and bullets than Gaza

The second-biggest cryptocurrency split in two becaue some people just decided to undo transactions. The transactions were absolutely theft, but the point is that some people just decided to change what the ledger said.

I got a lovely reply with the lyrics:

Why do I feel so sad

When people all around me look so glad

Why is my heart breaking in two

When I look at a friend such as you

You always tell me you’re so happy

You’ve really got it made in this life

And although the world was against you

You managed to make it on your own

Not yet! But it is a Sunday, so I wouldn’t necessarily expect one right away. I will be sure to update you if I do get one!

Not a bad call actually. I will try that tomorrow

That account is less than a month old and the literal first thing they did with it was defend Putin. Yesterday they got banned from some communities for spreading antivax nonsense. Classic stuff.

I invite you to take a look at how much of their post history is RT and Sputnik

40 miles per charge, for those that haven’t read it. That’s enough for a return trip on a whole lot of ferry journeys, though. Certainly a good chunk of the major ones where I am

An electric hydrofoil ferry, no less!

We can call it Big Max though

I know. I’m not saying that they’re accusing the Marinera of breaking international law, I’m saying that current international law basically says unflagged vessels are fair game

There’s probably a solid argument that the flag-switching made this compatible with international law. Article 92 of UNCLOS reads:

1. Ships shall sail under the flag of one State only and, save in exceptional cases expressly provided for in international treaties or in this Convention, shall be subject to its exclusive jurisdiction on the high seas. A ship may not change its flag during a voyage or while in a port of call, save in the case of a real transfer of ownership or change of registry.

2. A ship which sails under the flags of two or more States, using them according to convenience, may not claim any of the nationalities in question with respect to any other State, and may be assimilated to a ship without nationality.

And then Article 110 permits boarding of ships without nationality. That’s not a comment on the ethics of doing so either way, of course, only legality

It’s talking about legitimacy of who/whatever ends up running Venezuela after this, not Trump’s legitimacy. The point is that removing Maduro is not going to create a pro-USA Venezuela
