Ukraine: Russian troops are pulling back from some positions in Kherson region: https://benborges.xyz/2026/01/26/ukraine-russian-troops-are-pulling.html

Precious metals soared Monday
— with gold extending its record run past $5,100 per troy ounce and silver surging to new highs
— as investors continued to load up on hard assets as a hedge against geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty.

Gold was up 2.4 percent on New York’s COMEX commodities exchange before pulling back;
it had crossed the $5,000 threshold for the first time a day earlier.
Silver, which tends to be more volatile, spiked 14.6 percent Mon…

Why gold and silver prices are surging at breakneck speeds
A record-setting rally in precious metals comes as global investors diversify away from the U.S. dollar, a phenomenon known as the “debasement trade.”

"At a meeting in the Oval Office last week, a frustrated Mr. Trump pressed Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about why the United States could not immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The answer was straightforward: Even one Iranian soldier or militia member zipping across the narrow neck of the strait in a speedboat could fire a mobile missile right into a slow-moving supertanker, or plant a limpet mine on its hull."

I’m reading Civilization Before Greece and Rome, by H.W.F. Saggs. The old saw about how if history doesn’t repeat itself, it certainly rhymes, comes out quite clearly. Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians and hosts of other kingdoms and tribes, were pulling all the same gags 3 and 4 and 5 thousand years ago that Putin and Trump and the rest are doing now, especially the bits about how god’s on their side. Plus ça change, plus c’est le même chose. It’d be funny, if it wasn’t depressing…

Pushing and Pulling: Three Reactivity Algorithms | Jonathan's Blog
It’s looking like I’m going to need to build a reactive engine for work, so I’m going to prepare for that by writing down what I know about them. I want to look at three ways of building reactive engines: push reactivity, pull reactivity, and the hybrid push/pull combination that is used in a bunch of web frameworks. The Problem Statement The simplest way to visualise reactivity, in my opinion, is as a spreadsheet. You have a series of input cells, containing your initial data, and a seri…

One of the things that is interesting doing mass encodes is verifying all of the little things that can just mess everything up. If you're pulling in stuff like 3rd-party subtitles, then you have to verify the timing of the subtitles and adjust as necessary. Even better, if those are SubStation Alpha subtitles, you have to verify if the style fonts get added as attachments to the MKV file.
And if it's across something like a TV show, you definitely need to do this for every e…

Academia is constantly finding new ways to disappoint.

This is the kind of shit the “Democratic Leadership" keeps pulling. Shapiro, Newsom, Fedderman, Clintons, Summers, Obama. They are all neo-liberals who also work for the billionaires too. We need to elect folks like Krasner, AOC, Sanders, etc who actually work for citizens.

This is a brand new pair of socks, never worn. They were washed and balled up but someone stole them off the top of the bedroom dresser. They were found under the dining room table where we can usually find all kinds of cat toys or purloined items. That location plus the obvious signs of kicking and pulling of threads has led us to a single culprit.

I watched the latest video from @… where he spoke with a German analyst and author ostensibly about the author’s new book… but it really was about how NATO may be on the verge of collapse right now and what the new reality might look like. Highly recommend Canadians watch this.
My only complaint and comment completely selfishly, is the absence of Canada 🇨🇦 in the discussion. I have to say I am feeling more than a little apprehensive, even isolated. I know Canada is not exactly pulling its weight and won’t be a major player in whatever Europe needs to do to secure itself in a post-NATO reality.
But I am definitely left wondering and more than a little worried…. What the heck is Canada going to do?
We border Greenland. We are deeply connected to Ukraine socially. We have a force in Latvia.

Sen. Kim accused Trump of rejected a “constitutionally required approval process for armed conflict because the Administration knows the American people reject risks pulling our nation into another war.” Kim said the overnight strikes in Venezuela “doesn’t represent strength. It’s not sound foreign policy. It puts Americans at risk in Venezuela and the region, and it sends a horrible and disturbing signal that targeting a head of state is an acceptable policy.”
