The lawless killing spree at sea continues.

As usual, the "designated terrorist organization" supposedly operating the vessel is unidentified.

And based on recent history, the likelihood that the USG successfully rescues the survivor seems low.

Real killing in a make believe armed conflict.

On Feb. 9, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two narco-terrorists were killed and one survived the strike. Following the engagement, USSOUTHCOM immediately notified U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivor.

New: Binance holds 87% of the Trump family's stablecoin—$4.7 billion—a higher concentration than any other major stablecoin has at any single exchange.

Its U.S. affiliate holds $1,119.

The end game

Scottish Labour leader calls for Keir Starmer to step down, saying the 'distraction needs to end'.

Starmer is an electoral liability. Likely successors taking soundings in Westminster.

The next leader must not come from the Starmer camp.

What’s clever about “Together we are America” is that within the US it’s a message of unity but, given the placement in the program following shout-outs to a bunch of countries North and South, outside the US it can be interpreted as “Together we are the Americas.”

does anyone else remember when the 2022 Super Bowl had so many crypto ads people were calling it the Crypto Bowl and then crypto just absolutely fucking tanked?

anyway

The advertising during the game stood out for a high number of celebrity cameos and advertisements for futuristic technology, particularly for products like electric vehicles, virtual reality and cryptocurrency.[136][137][138][139] There were many cryptocurrency-related ads drawing comparisons to dot-com commercials during Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000,[140][141] leading some to refer to the game as the "Crypto Bowl".[142][143]

Some people are looking at what was definitely in that halftime show (the sugarcane plantation; what the football said).

Some people are reporting out uncertainties (the wedding: confirmed).

It’s worth getting less invested in the “did that kid represent Liam?” there was enough there.
