  1. Graphic at the end Georgians protested and chased away a liner with Russians from the port of Batumi 🇬🇪 Yesterday, the Astoria Grande cruise liner, which was carrying Russian tourists, arrived in Batumi, Georgia. After that, local residents protested. They chanted "Russian ship, go to **y" and "Abkhazia is Georgia", and also brought photographs depicting Abkhazia and the events of the August war.
  2. https://twitter.com/markito0171/status/1684794089659625472?t=NjqSvKkhrfbSTMebSeymMA&s=19 Audio File: An alleged correspondence btw #Kadyrov's men, who report about the huge losses. They declare that out of 500 fighters only 60 of the 1st battalion "Akhmat-North" remain alive
  3. ^ Pretty remarkable stat he gives in that article: 88% of casualties are from artillery. 10% are from snipers. 2% are from ordinary gunfire.
  4. Sounds like some of the 10 or so remaining newly formed brigades are being sent in
  5. Mutinies and meat grinders Mutinies and meat grinders Navy sinks, Navy sinks Virgin sandwich Sloppy hoes, slop-sloppy hoes Well everybody's buried in the ground down here Prigozhin land
  6. (This is only tangentially related to your post) I have no problem with policies against self-plagiarism because you shouldn't receive credit for 2 assignments when you only did half of the work. There are plenty of courses with overlapping content areas, so if they have open-ended types of assignments (write an essay or lit review on a relevant topic of choice), students shouldn't be able to just submit work from another class and then receive credit for both assignments/courses. As some have pointed out, this is a somewhat unique circumstance in which it is the exact same class. Rather than the professor come to the student directly (which I don't really agree with because of the issues Mole raised- the universities ask instructors to submit instances of plagiarism through the formal process so there can be a proper record for each student's offenses), I think the student should have come to the professor. This has come up for me with students who failed my course and retook it. I've had a few students reach out proactively to discuss what I am comfortable with regarding their submitting previous work. My responses have been context-depedent. For the major assignments, I am fine with students using their past submissions as a reference or starting point, but it should be a unique work that is submitted. For more minor assignments that are application-based and personal (I teach mostly family, marriage, and sexuality courses), I ask them to consider their development and changing contexts in light of what they previously wrote and make any relevant changes.
  7. Ukrainian deputy defence minister Hanna Maliar: "During the offensive, our defenders performed military miracles that will go down in textbooks. They attack in conditions when the enemy has more weapons and people. While an offensive is considered possible when the opposite is true. At the same time, our troops are advancing. And the question should be asked not about the number of kilometers traveled, but about the fact that we are moving forward or not. The fact that we are moving in the face of enemy superiority is a sign of the high skill and courage of our defenders. The number of casualties on our offensive lines is much lower than the enemy's. In the Bakhmut sector, our casualties are 8 times less than the enemy's. In the Berdyansk and Mariupol sectors, 5.3 times less. This is despite the fact that the offensive side usually loses more," she said on 1+1 TV. t.me/annamaliar/961
  8. Likely not in one shot unless a massive fire broke out
  9. Probably premature, but definitely progress and they have fire control over most roads going in
  10. Lots of reports of a Russian breakthrough in this area, but it seems to have stabilized.
  11. https://twitter.com/TreasChest/status/1683415680777895936?s=20 ^ Crimean partisans report that a batch of P-800 "Onyx" missiles was destroyed at the BC warehouse near Dzhankoy, with which the artillery has been shelling Odesa and Mykolaiv for several days.
  12. I mean the logic he's wanting is to accept is that while he won't send troops into Ukraine despite Putin's desperate pressure, he is totally willing to send them to attack Poland?
  13. A lot of military equipment appeared in the camp of PMC "#Wagner" in #Belarus Satellite images of the former military unit in the village of Tsel published by the Washington Post. The images show that hundreds of military vehicles and equipment have been placed in the camp. The images from July 16 did not show such a large number of weapons at the base. Observers record a significant increase in the military presence in Tsel. Lukashenka's "Defense Ministry" reported earlier that the "Wagnerians" had started training the military. And not only in Tsel, but also at the training ground near Brest near the border with #Poland, where the mercenaries together with the Belarusian army are holding joint exercises this week. And to round out Luka's clownish and deranged comments:
