can‘t help thinking that the answer to the question “why are non-americans like this” is because you have to ask it in the first place

Why are non-Americans like this? Yeah, I'm going to do ten years for destruction of federal property to remove some shitty letters that were already going to come off.

Cargo ship exchanges fire with gunmen on small boat off Yemen coast, says UKMTO
The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said it has received a report of a cargo ship exchanging fire with gunmen on a small boat off the coast of Yemen.
The guards on the cargo ship were able to fend them off, according to UKMTO. The incident occurred 88 nautical miles southwest of the Yemeni port town of Balhaf this morning, the agency added.
In its warning, the UKMTO said:
AA A cargo vessel has reported being approached by one craft with 6 armed persons onboard. There was an exchange of fire between the small craft and the cargo vessels Armed Security Team resulting in the small craft turning away.
Authorities are investigating.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but the Associated Press reported that the Houthi rebels in Yemen have said they will resume their attacks against Israeli-affiliated ships passing the Red Sea.

yes global fascism is bad, but won’t somebody think of the IPAs

Jonathan Liew rightly asks why people remain on X, formerly Twitter. After the news of the sad closure of the Tottenham independent brewery Redemption, I pinged my MP, David Lammy, about it.
Like so many others, he is not on Bluesky, so Elon Musk's algorithms had to be braved.

They've been doing assassinations in the US a long time now.

Sammy Obeid confirmed this in one of his latest bits. It was supposed to look like a clean shot to the chest. There was an explosive device in his microphone. The next day there were randos repaving over the shrapnel in the pavement. It was the US and Israhell together

I watched enhanced video showing several drones one of which greatly resembled an Elbit 'Bird of Prey' gun-drone which can field an M-16 with an accuracy almost inhuman from altitude to ground.
You can find them online. Seems most logical conclusion that was the weapon. Who the shooter? Oy vey

maybe i don’t read no good anymore but confused by what the word “test” means here

The US has launched strikes on southern Iran in a test of the seven-week long ceasefire, as both sides played down hopes for an imminent peace deal even as negotiators from Tehran began new talks in Qatar.
US forces targeted missile launch sites and boats attempting to lay mines, US central command (Centcom) said on Tuesday, but stressed that the strikes did not indicate the ceasefire with Iran was over.

cozy science fiction

from Crash, by JG Ballard

Chapter 17

We had entered an immense traffic jam. From the junction of the motorway and Western Avenue to the ascent ramp of the flyover the traffic lanes were packed with vehicles, windshields bleaching out the molten colours of the sun setting above the western suburbs of London. Brake-lights flared in the evening air, glowing in the huge pool of cellulosed bodies. Vaughan sat with one arm out of the passenger window. He slapped the door impatiently, pounding the panel with his fist. To our right the high wall of a double-decker airline coach formed a cliff of faces. The passengers at the windows resembled rows of the dead looking down at us from the galleries of a columbarium. The enormous energy of the twentieth century, enough to drive the planet into a new orbit around a happier star, was being expended to maintain this immense motionless pause.

It was the middle of the morning, and Winston had left his cubicle to go to the lavatory.
A solitary figure was coming toward him from the other end of the long, brightly lit corridor. It was the girl with dark hair. Four days had gone past since the evening when he had run into her outside the junk shop. As she came nearer he saw that her right arm was in a sling, not noticeable at a distance because it was of the same color as her overalls. Probably she had crushed her hand while swinging round one of the big kaleidoscopes on which the plots of novels were
"roughed in." It was a common accident in the Fiction De-partment.

awwww, bless the experts, you keep holding on to that youthful innocence (source: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...)

Experts say it is unlikely the US military would fire missiles or other weapons at tankers, given the risk of an environmental disaster. The most likely option is the US navy will try to force vessels to change course through threats, and if that doesn’t work, they will launch armed boarding parties to take physical control of the ships, experts say.

no please NYT, tell me more of this ancient discovery your digital archeologists have unearthed (source: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/b...)

Satoshi was also very likely a member of the Cypherpunks, a group of anarchists formed in the early 1990s who wanted to use cryptography, the art of securing communications through code, to free individuals om government surveillance and censorship. The Cypherpunks interacted mostly through something called an internet mailing list. Ancestors of today's message boards, mailing lists were large group emails in old typewriter font that subscribers received in their inbox. To communicate, respondents replied-all.
