And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is stilled!
Break, break, break
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me. Tennyson

We have intel that Russia is preparing a new massive attack on our country โ primarily targeting energy and logistics. The assumption is basically that tomorrow the world will be watching the American midterms, and what is happening here in Ukraine, along with our difficulties with air defense and Patriot missiles, will be overlooked.
We need signals from the world to Russia that will make them feel that terror is no good, that it will bring no gains, and that as long as this war continues, their oil will burn, and they will not be able to make money doing business with the world. We must not play games with Russiaโs oil or gas revenues. We must put pressure on Russia in such a way that it has no alternative but to end this war. America can do this.

Ukrainian children killed by russians in October 2026. It was one of the deadliest months in terms of child victims.

Russia has officially withdrawn from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
Not that they ever followed it, but this withdrawal tells you all you need to know about Russia.

Maybe, perhaps, possibly, probably, conceivably, mayhap, perchance, supposedly, presumably, supposably.
When I went to the southside Walmart on Saturday, they were removing all the food from the coolers. All of it. The lady told me the coolers weren't working. I wonder if this was the cause. (Luckily, I had gone there to buy a hot rotisserie chicken.)
Supermarkets in Europe were hit Monday by problems with freezers and fridges that apparently were caused by cyberattacks, forcing some to dispose of ruined food. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/11/โฆ

There is no point in modern ovens having digital clocks. You rarely see one with the right time. People only use it twice a year when the clocks change and the thing needs correcting. Nobody is timing their cooking on it. Scrap it.

Unpopular opinion:
Ukrainians donโt need another speech about how inspiring we are.
We need air defense, electricity and a winter without funerals.

Noted democrat and constitutionalist weighs in.
What we witnessed yesterday in Warsaw was a blatant violation of Polandโs constitution. I never thought @donaldtusk would sink to such depths as to stage a coup dโรฉtat against his own people. I sincerely hope President @NawrockiKn succeeds in his efforts to uphold Polandโs constitutional order. Our hearts go out to the Polish people.

The first game in NBA history wasnโt played in New York, Boston or Los Angeles.
It was played in Toronto.
On this day, November 1, 1946, the Toronto Huskies hosted the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens. Eighty years ago tonight, 7,090 spectators watched the opening game of a league that would become a global sporting giant.
Technically, it was then called the Basketball Association of America. In 1949, it merged with the National Basketball League to form the NBA, which recognizes that Toronto matchup as the first game in its history.
New Yorkโs Ossie Schectman scored the opening basket. The Knicks won 68โ66.
The Huskies lasted just one season. But their brief existence gave Toronto a place at the very beginning of professional basketballโs biggest league, nearly half a century before the Raptors arrived in 1995.
Thereโs a Canadian thread running through basketballโs story: Canadian-born James Naismith invented the game, Toronto hosted the NBAโs first contest, and the Raptors brought its championship trophy north in 2019.
Long before Jurassic Park, there were the Huskies.
Did you know the NBAโs story began at Maple Leaf Gardens?

Every time the clocks change, the no-change cranks come out, like Jill Stein during an American presidential election.
I am old enough to remember when the US tried permanent DST, only to abandon it after 10 months.
