  1. Two things:

    It is pretty indicating that Wagner hasn’t encountered significant resistance. Seems insane that going through a somewhat militarized portion of the country with barely firing a shot, but that has to be attributed to the morale on the front. Doesn’t seem like they trust the generals / higher command as they have been somewhat removed from the front. 
     

    Wagner are god awful, but there is something somewhat fitting that the revolution is progressing from Ukraine / Crimea / Rostov given the history of the Whites during the Russian Revolution.

  2. Shame as he’s one of the greatest American writers ever. In the middle of the border trilogy while on paternity leave, and the way he can describe the relationship between man and nature is second to none. 
     

    Edit: this line really stuck with me from the tail end of All The Pretty Horses:

    In the end we all come to be cured of our sentiments. Those whom life does not cure death will. The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not. Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting.

  3. Honestly, Reddit dying would be a good thing. The upvote/downvote system and the rankings of the comments by then turns everything into a binary of right / wrong and can promote misinformation so easily. 
     

    The message board system like Surly is a lot better for discussion.

    Yep, we are pulling. Got convoys of NGO's heading to Port Sudan since the ceasefire did not hold. 

    Fuck this situation. 

    As someone who has had the joy of riding in an armed convoy in Africa, that’s a brutal distance to travel. Seems like a complete nightmare on all accounts.

    I'm pretty sure he's won a total of two NCAA tournament games since then. 

    Technically three after this weekend, but yeah. I don’t know how many games he’s lost as a favorite, but has to be greater than 4.
