Jeez o Pete, dude, ease up.

“Yet even though it was the only ship he had seen destroyed, he was grimly certain there had been others. Indeed, he could see only one other vessel still fighting its hopeless battle, and he ground his teeth as yet another sea crashed over his own cog. The impact staggered the ship, and a fresh chorus of screams and prayers came faintly from the men and women and children packed below its streaming deck. His wife Matilda and their son Edward were in that dark, noisome hellhole of crowded terror and vomit, of gear come adrift and washing seawater, and terror choked him as he thought of them once again. He tried to find the words of prayer, the way to plead with God to save his wife and his son. He did not beg for himself. It was not his way, and his was the responsibility for bringing them to this in the first place. If God wanted his life in exchange for those so much dearer to him, it was a price he would pay without a whimper.”

Moar emo

Ho hum more emo music from an emo singer.

And yet… isn’t it all emo? Really? I mean… aren’t we all dying? In our armchairs and our comfort?

Oh, wait, I’m emo. And drunk. NEVER MIND!

It was a dark and stormy night.

“Demon wind greeted pallid daylight with hell-howl fury. It was no true daylight, although somewhere above the clouds of seething black the sun had heaved itself once more into the heavens. It was only the devil’s own twilight, slashed with body-smashing sheets of rain and spray, the rolling concussion of thunder, the bellow of wind, and the endless keen of rigging and sodden percussion of torn canvas flailing to destruction.”

Mariupol

I wonder how the sinking of the Moskva affects resupply for Mariupol. Like… can small boats at night effect resupply now that Russian ships have repositioned themselves farther from shore?


Well, maybe not. Where would they come from?

Captured Ukrainian oligarch was a figure in the U.S. investigation into Russian electoral meddling.

i wonder, to whom can we apply the phrase “loathsome quisling” in this country? I love it.

«But in Ukraine, outside of a narrow base of support mostly in the country’s east, he was widely viewed as a loathsome quisling who had reaped wealth from energy deals with the Kremlin while promoting Russian foreign policy goals, including weakening the central government under a federalization overhaul that he had championed for years.»
