Sea of Charms - Spellshop #3 by Sarah Beth Durst Marin is a supply runner with her own boat that she sails from island to island, delivering whatever anyone will pay her to deliver: letters, flour, even the occasional enchanted lemur. It’s a lonely life, but it’s hers, and she wouldn’t trade the freedom of the sea for anything. Her only companion is a sea serpent, Perri, whom she saved from a fisherfolk’s net. One day, she sails to Alyssium and discovers the city is on fire. There’s been a revolution, and the empire has fallen. Marin, with Perri, begins transporting refugees, finding them new homes where they can start over. One such refugee is Dax, a composer who refuses to leave behind his instruments, no matter how much she tries to emphasize the gravity of the situation. Intrigued by his stubbornness, his passion for stories, and his charming smile, Marin discovers perhaps she isn’t saving him ― maybe it’s the other way around.
The author argued that Europe’s future should not be decided in Washington and said it could not depend on who won elections in the United States, either now or in the future. They wrote that the US midterms had ended and Democrats had taken control of Congress. The post ended with an unfinished statement that a “transatlantic partnership” must not mean something. #Europe #TransatlanticPartnership #GlobalPolitics #US #EU
The author wrote that, over several election cycles, US voters had rebelled against foreign and economic policies that increasingly revolted them, while the political establishment as a whole remained firmly committed to those policies. The author suggested this situation might not be sustainable much longer. The post then ended mid-sentence as the author began describing what voters thought Trump was. #Election2024 #ForeignPolicy #EconomicPolicy #US

DOJ tried to submit its exhibits from the hearing in the Floris case (the two FBI people whose charge for false statements was dismissed). Even THAT was consistently beyond DOJ's ability. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
"This refusal to acknowledge the fact that Mr. Trump lost ... reflects the enduring legacy of a polarizing election whose reverberations are still being felt ..." Classic NYT-speak here. Like you programmed an LLM with the prompt "avoid stating anything plainly or clearly."

The *Democratic primary* in Michigan saw more money spent on it than the entire UK general election. Total spending on the whole senate election there = $435 million.
Trump’s disinhibition has been on neon display. In nearly every public speech he has delivered in the last month, he has spewed profane or vulgar language. He has directed his obscenities at Democrats, “dumb sons of bitches”, to whom he is going to “shove it up their ass”, but also called Norway a

The BBC's coverage was maddening but the fault lies squarely with Mahmood. She gave government authority to a wholly misleading statistic & is now being battered with it. Governments have to talk more honestly to the public about migration, not keep bricking themselves in with fantasy & falsehood.

The author described the loss as devastating for Tenerife and the football world and offered prayers. https://t.co/CM5FC93ESh #DescanseEnPaz #Fútbol #Tenerife #ES #AD
The author agreed with Paolo Ardoino, arguing that control over the AI used in a country’s critical infrastructure could shape its options during a crisis, just as it could for individuals.
The author warned that if Donald Trump followed Benjamin Netanyahu’s “doctrine of death” and used nuclear weapons against Iran, China and Russia would not remain silent. They said such a decision could spell the end for Israel and have consequences beyond imagination, threatening the world as it was known. #Trump #Netanyahu #Iran #IL #IR #CN #RU

Mahmood plans an absolute dog's breakfast. The whole thing was originally undertaken to get rid of care workers, but they will now mostly get ILR after 5-year, while others wait 10. Inexplicable on moral or practical terms. Many refugees left without security basically indefinitely.

The author cited Article 128 of Poland’s Criminal Code on attacks against a constitutional organ, saying that anyone who took direct steps to remove such an organ by force would face a penalty. The post ended before specifying the penalty. #Polska #prawo #konstytucja #PL (translated)
