Got bullied* into doing some yoga and chilling out instead.
All good though. Now I am beered up and ready to write!

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
Twelve European countries have agreed to jointly counter the shadow fleet used by Russia to export oil, bypassing the G7-imposed price cap. Ships will now be checked for valid insurance documents.

Still up? Go check out the moon. 🌕 The bright object nearby is Jupiter, a gas giant planet 385,650,657 miles away from Earth (as of 10 minutes ago). #lookUp

Sonnet 077 - LXXVII
Thy glass will show thee how thy beauties wear,
Thy dial how thy precious minutes waste;
The vacant leaves thy mind's imprint will bear,

Companion site to the Blakes7Bot Twitter, Mastodon, and Bluesky accounts. Automated lines of Blakes 7 dialog. Includes a script search facility.

Un constat : ça prend un temps infini de faire les sous-titres d'un podcast ou d'une vidéo.
Même en ayant un script pré-écrit, et qu'il faut simplement caler, si on est contraint Š un certain nombre de caractères par ligne, comme c'est notamment le cas avec le standard Podcasting 2.0 (32 caractères), c'est très très très long.
Hier, j'ai mis 2h30 pour un épisode de 21 minutes.
J'ai utilisé Aegisub, qui est un logiciel libre qui facilite la chose. Sans lui, j'y serai encore. Je recommande chaudement !

Drawing attention to this thread of comments of mine from a few days ago, as it goes deeper into apparent efforts from European nations to Trump-proof Ukraine, which is actually VERY important for European security.
It's nice seeing news articles pointing out Ukrainian funding & Russian appeasement isn't something Trump gets to dictate, but rather, a situation where Europe is trying to diplomatically push back against Trump to defend their legitimate security interests.
