To be mildly fair, the FIE does not mess around when it comes to sportsmanship offenses in general, and the ref should have given her at least a red card for this. Decorum breakdowns during fencing tournaments do not lead to a pretty place.

Also: LMAO, of course this happened on a saber bout. Good on the Ukrainian though, and she'll get to wear that disqualification like a badge of honour.

FIE also became the first Olympic governing body to officially reinstate Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials, in time for the start of the qualification for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Oh absolutely corrupt. 100%. Just pointing out that this specific disqualification does not necessarily come across as transparently corrupt as it might appear to be for people who are not familiar with the sport.

Always wonder if in the case of war I'd be stuck at the front with a rifle taking a bullet for my country or if the fact that I'm in PR would have me just sit in an office writing propaganda which is what I do for a living to begin with.

"That's what they all say!"

This is a common theme in Ukrainian government PR. It's a good message. For example, see the military recruitment ad below from 2015:

I can't find it offhand but someone please find and post the pre-2014 recruitment ad video for the Ukrainian Army that portrays being a soldier as the easiest way to get laid so join up today and then compare it to the recruitment videos we're seeing now

It's a super stark contrast and shows how much Ukraine has changed as a country and people because of what started in Crimea

On *extremely* shaky evidence I have a feeling Russia is ready for a withdrawal everywhere except Crimea in September and what's happening now is a game of "who can get there first".

Not exactly going to bet my morgage on this and all kinds of poo poo can happen but I think this is what the plan is right now.

Ukraine has spent the last two months hitting any concentration of more than a dozen Russian soldiers (unless UKR troops are in contact, obv.) or three crates of supplies throughout the occupied territories. Supplies are super distributed which, when combined with the Russians continuing the proud tradition of "use what you're sent, we decide what that is", means that there's nothing to rapidly resupply heavy contact areas like Klishiivka-Avdiivka.

Where the UKR campaign slows down is direct action, largely because there's no way to do the big flanking maneuvers that exemplified the 2022 counter-offensives in Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts. The Russian static defensive lines are also pretty decent as far as layout goes from what I've seen.

I can at least explain the French maid with the Apple Watch. I was the computer toucher for a company and our secretary told me to get her one, so I was like "no one in the company has an Apple Watch, why would I issue you that?" and she's like "because these loving dresses they have me wear don't have any pockets and I need to track when meetings end while I'm running around the office cleaning up after executives!" and I'm like hmm, that's hosed up and actually makes sense lol

Some of the earliest adopters of the Apple Watch were service people like cashiers and bartenders - because their jobs wouldn't allow them to fish out their phones and check them every time they buzzed.
