After discussing the possibility for several months, European nations are finally forming a unified barrier of insurance checks and enforcement around areas where Russia's shadow fleet operate... a very important development, as it either will deprive them from the ability to keep evading sanctions, or significantly increase the costs and risks of doing so.
Big ramifications. This could have a major impact on Russia's recent long term oil delivery deal with India, i.e.

Twelve European countries to jointly counter Russia's shadow fleet exporting oil

Went to Marfa to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Photos are Bitter Sugar coffee, Motel, a lit firebird hood in our room, and the bathtub. Visited friend Chris at Sticks & Bones, had an amazing sandwich at Bordo, ate at Margaret’s and LaVenture. Quick stop at Chinati Foundation as it was closing. My first trip to West Texas, I’d only gone East and North before. Texas is really big. #marfa #texas #roadtrip #bittersugar #sticksandbones

A Portland Police Bureau report released late last month shows that the agency's review board recommended that a sergeant be fired after lying to investigators about placing a right-wing meme in a training presentation — a recommendation that Chief Bob Day and then-Mayor Ted Wheeler declined to follow.

Known as the "Prayer of the Alt Knight," the meme has been traced back to a member of the far-right Proud Boys group and endorses police brutality against a "dirty hippy," showing an officer in riot gear with fist raised over a person with long hair.

McDaniel denied the allegation that he'd put the slide in the presentation. Then-Chief Chuck Lovell ultimately concluded that it was "more likely than not" that McDaniel was responsible for the slide, according to the memo, though Lovell backed away from termination of the sergeant's employment and instead suspended him for 100 hours without pay.
