UPDATE from YouTube: "As part of our ongoing commitment to comply with applicable U.S. government sanctions, we terminated over 230 channels affiliated with AVO TV Novosti and Rossiya Segodnya, all of which were already blocked from viewers.” I'm told this happened around 2:45P PT on Monday.

Google blocked users from viewing RT accounts in 2022 but did not terminate them.

Worth noting that if you mouse over the Quest it expands and puts an accept button right in the unexpanded space. I went to click it to dismiss it and ended up accepting it. Asshole design to be sure.

Lebanon's Hezbollah blamed Israel for a spree of pager blasts across Lebanon, saying it will get 'its fair punishment', according to a statement released by the militant group on Tuesday.

Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said eight people were killed and some 2,750 wounded in the explosions, with Hezbollah earlier saying the pagers were used by its members.

Whenever the Green Bay Packers score a touchdown, the fans get to take a vote if they want the touchdown to count or if they want to know who executed it. This is called the Green Bay's uncertainty principle.

.... Russia is struggling to generate trained manpower. Ukraine is struggling to generate any manpower—and is also desperately short of modern armored vehicles. Just four of 14 new brigades the Ukrainian armed forces are standing up have enough modern vehicles
