I’m honestly too superstitious when it comes to the dead. That would probably be the thing that would hold me back from speaking ill of someone dead if anything.

Nature gone mad? Eagles kidnap baby hawk twins, kill one, raise the other as their own
The brutal saga of a baby hawk that was kidnapped and raised by bald eagles has riveted Bay Area birdwatchers. No one's entirely sure what's going on.

Orcas attack boat during around-the-world race
The crew of the Ocean Race's Team JAJO endured several heart-stopping minutes when their boat came under attack from a pod of orcas.
Authorities have noted a steady increase in interactions between orcas and vessels in the Strait of Gibraltar and Portugal, with more than 20 incidents in May alone. In some cases, boats have been significantly damaged, at least three to the point of sinking, organizers said, as the behavior appears to be spreading among different killer whale family groups.
Earlier this week, an orca repeatedly rammed into a yacht in the North Sea off Shetland, in the first such incident in northern waters.
Whales are done with humans.

Yeah, this has been going on for some time now. In a number of cases, they seem to be targeting the rudders. Nobody is exactly sure what kicked off the behavior.
They seem to be targeting rich c***s in yachts. I can't pretend like I am against it.
In related news, it didn't rain today for the 700th day in a row.

Kinda political but I doubt it’s going to bother anyone.

They hunt seals in packs like this. They disrupt the ice the seals are floating on to get them in the water. Amazingly intelligent creatures

Appropriate to have adjacent posts about orcas and Christie.

A number of the people they've hit are not rich based on what I've seen in the cruising community. Just people who are traveling via their sailboat in or out of the Med.
Not just ice.

An armed rebellion. The FSB has entered it into record.
Not that I have any idea what will happen, but Prigozhin has had months to prep and hired some of the best and brightest directly from the FSB and FSO. I wouldn’t imagine he did this haphazardly.

This has been his only inevitable play for months. If he hasn't prepared well he's a fool.

My initial reaction is that if he doesn’t have the security bureaus, it doesn’t matter. But the key here is that no one knows. No one has good sources. So we just wait for the proverbial fog of war to go away and then see.

Yep. Just gotta go for the ride.
I think it was starting in mid/late April of '22 that I predicted at least one of Shoigu, Gerasimov, or Prigozhin would do something drastic.
With the way Putin's regime works, there's simply no way all of them would get all the way through this debacle of a war without deciding they were gonna be scapegoated, and realizing they need to take initiative and get before they're got.

But the real important question in Russia. How does this impact the Flyers and Ivan Fedotov?
