Trump has said he watched the operation “like I was watching a television show” … noting the “speed” and the “violence” of the raid.

He said the US is now deciding what’s next for Venezuela after Maduro’s capture.

He said the US will be “very strongly involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry, adding that “we ‌have the greatest oil companies in the ‌world, the biggest, the ‌greatest, ⁠and we’re going to be very much ‌involved in it.”

“Since coming to power, the Trump regime has deliberately undermined the international rules-based order.

He has targeted the work of the International Criminal Court over its investigations into war crimes in Gaza. He has betrayed Ukraine time and time again while justifying the illegal Russian invasion.

And he has threatened NATO allies, Canada, and Greenland.”

“Trump and his minions have made a mockery of the laws of the sea and warfare. The blockade was deemed by UN human rights experts to have no legitimacy. It was considered equal to “an armed attack” because no credible justification was given and no Security Council vote took place.

Trump claimed the Venezuelans had stolen American oil – a ridiculous claim.

Similar ridiculous claims were made for the boats being hunted on the high seas.

These strikes represented murder on the high seas.”

Lately, I've been realizing that whenever I search for something online, I mostly look at results from 2020 to mid-2024. Before 2020, much of the information is no longer relevant. Since mid-2024, a lot of it is AI-written and often incorrect. There are entire websites with tutorials and information that are completely wrong. But that's for another post.

@stefanoStefano Marinelli @joepie91Sven Slootweg ("still kinky and horny anyway") We nowadays get suspicious when We search for an issue and a result matches the specific issue We're describing *too* well. Sure enough, We then look at the "author" and and see the account "write" a dozen articles on entirely unrelated matters a day.

It's not a perfect solution, but ublacklist.github.io helps, load it up with a bunch of blocklists and enable it for your search engine.

Happy Solar New Year! My goal for this quarter is to figure out what kind of work I want to start looking for, and to put together a solid resume. To that end, I have a favor to ask. If you have any recent experience with looking for work, or any experience hiring folks, I'd like to pick your brain. If you've been looking for work or found a job, I want to know what worked for you and what didn't. If you're a hiring manager, I want to know what you look for, what kinds of questions you ask, and any other advice or ideas you may have. My initial list of questions is short, but I'm sure it will evolve as I talk to more folks. If you're up for having a chat with me, let me know and I will send you a meeting schedule link.

Boosts greatly appreciated.

Forgive me for not being able to believe these folks in software who tell me known problems are all solved problems and not worth thinking about while I sit here unable to log into my medical portal because I'm stuck in some kind of self-eating login fail loop

오늘도 건진건 없지만 잃어간다고 생각했던 실력이 조금씩 돌아오고 있는게 느껴져서 그것만으로 만족한다. 좋은 기록을 위해 남들의 여러배 노력을 해야하는 나지만 하고싶으면...그렇게 해야지.

US regime change in Venezuela could trigger similar in Cuba

Cuba relies heavily on Venezuelan oil, not as much as it did 10 years ago, when it received about 100,000 barrels a day, but it still receives around about 30,000 barrels of oil a day, which is crucial, given that Cuba’s energy matrix, energy grid is overwhelmingly reliant on petroleum.

“It directly translates into a huge humanitarian cost for the most vulnerable in this society.”

Ed Augustin

Even when the underlying reality changes, the status quo has a strong grip. People are deeply creatures of habit. It's also difficult for the emerging understanding to overcome the barrier of becoming "common knowledge" and, prior to that, people will follow old patterns because they assume that it's expected.

High-salience events create new common knowledge and so lead to larger changes in behaviour than might otherwise be justified. For example, the '56 Suez crisis was a high-salience event that communicated that world power had shifted from Europe to the US. Its impact was much greater than a narrow analysis would convey.

The Russo-Ukrainian war and today's events are also high-salience, and they communicate that there aren't any rules any longer.

One consequence is that, in the absence of Pax(ish) Americana, the only effective defense is a nuclear one. This was well understood: a lot of the motivation for creating the post-WWII system was to create an alternative to nuclear weapons. But Libya gave up its program and Gaddafi ended up dead. Ukraine gave up its weapons and got invaded. Venezuela didn't have them.

It'll take a while for this to play out, but I suspect keeping it in mind will help with understanding the news over the next decade or so.
