I’d like to see Zelenskyy describe to US lawmakers what a real border problem is like.

Incredible, isn't it. Anton Geraschenko has reported extensively on this (forgive the Xwitter link). The word that really jumped out at me is "artisanal" -- which in this case appears to mean unqualified mechanical service using parts that are uncertified, worn, and/or maybe even adapted from incorrect.

All of the planes that experienced serious incidents, including cabin depressurization, fires, engine and rudder failure, among other issues, eventually landed safely, although several were forced to make emergency landings.

The incidents highlighted the increasingly apparent impact of Western #sanctions on russia's airlines

"Of all the people in foreign policy he was definitely one of them. He was wrong about everything he said, but he never shut up, even long after he should have been dead."

People who don't understand the difference between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can't put into words.

#Russia soldiers have destroyed the memorial plaque on a #Holodomor monument in occupied Alchevsk already in 2014. They didn't care to destroy the whole monument and year by year someone continues to bring flowers on the #Ukraine Holodomor memorial day.

P.S. Russia has been for decades raising shitstorm each time anyone in Eastern Europe dared to remove monuments of communist generals established during Soviet occupation. They argued these are sacred elements of history and it's barbarian to remove any monuments. This argument didn't play well when they rushes to demolish monuments on the occupied territories of #Ukraine...

What might it look like if we permit a mutating virus that degrades our immune systems to spread widely and reinfect people often? I don't know, it's a complete mystery. #COVID19

These sewage discharges in the UK are the result of increased extreme storm flows and decades of underinvestment by the water agencies Margaret Thatcher privatized in the late 1980s. Instead of reinvesting revenues in maintaining and upgrading infrastructure, they paid out billions to their shareholders while increasing their debt.

Dismayed to notice that in 2003 I published an article containing a sentence with an unmatched left parenthesis so that everything I’ve published in the last twenty years has been part of one extremely long parenthetical remark.

There's a maxim in medicine: When you hear hoofbeats, look for horses, not zebras. That's useful to remember as we wait for more info on childhood illnesses in #China. This sounds more like the legacy of its zero Covid policy than a new disease threat. https://www.statnews.com/2023/11/23/surge-of-respiratory-disease-in-china-triggers-anxiety-but-experts-see-likely-explanation/

And this is why I will continue to say that the Republicans would wrestle to be the one to take-away Tiny Tim’s crutch and deny Oliver Twist a second bowl of gruel.

Cruelty is the point.

ROFL @ John Roberts trying to get ahead of Congress so that Congress can’t remind Sammy A that the necessary and proper clause exists.
