ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations is engaged in far-reaching spying against left-wing activists that rivals the FBI and CIA crackdowns on the Civil Rights and anti-war movements. buff.ly/0thFwce

I'll be writing an In Memoriam article today. A large luxury sedan fades away after 32 years in production. Its been quietly discontinued, and will see a limited 2027 offering in the US (a single trim and four colors). Replaced with what you'd expect, a large crossover.

Promu major à titre posthume, Arnaud Frion, opérateur chevronné du groupement de commandos de montagne (GCM), a été mortellement blessé le 12 mars 2026 à Erbil, en Irak, lors d’une attaque de drone attribuée à l’Iran. En 2011, pris sous le feu ennemi, il identifie l’origine des tirs et conduit la riposte en s’exposant directement au danger. Son action décisive permet de réduire la menace et de préserver la vie des soldats engagés. Il est alors cité à l’ordre du régiment. Au cours de sa carrière, il participe également au sauvetage et à l’évacuation des forces spéciales américaines prises dans l’embuscade meurtrière de Tongo Tongo, au Niger, en octobre 2017, contribuant à sauver des vies sous le feu ennemi. Déployé dans le cadre de l’opération Barkhane en 2019 puis en 2020, il reçoit deux nouvelles citations. Cité à quatre reprises pour acte de bravoure, il se voit décerner la Médaille militaire le 31 décembre 2021. Déployé en Irak depuis le 24 janvier 2026, il y accomplit sa mission jusqu’à cette attaque qui lui sera fatale. Marié et père d’un enfant, Arnaud Frion laisse le souvenir d’un chef exemplaire, engagé jusqu’au bout, respecté de ses hommes et estimé de tous. Son courage, son engagement et son sacrifice ne seront jamais oubliés. Ne jamais oublier. 🖤
L’adjudant-chef Arnaud Frion avait participé au sauvetage et à l’évacuation des forces spéciales américaines prises dans la meurtrière embuscade de Tongo Tongo, au Niger, contribuant ainsi à sauver des vies sous le feu ennemi. Vous avez entendu son nom pour la première fois le 12 mars 2026. Pourtant, l’adjudant-chef Arnaud Frion était un héros bien avant que le grand public ne découvre son histoire. Comme tant de militaires, il a risqué sa vie dans l’ombre, loin des regards et de la reconnaissance, en accomplissant sa mission avec détermination et dévouement.

IG's forthcoming wide-format competitor to @YouTube can't come soon enough. I'm so sick of YT's utterly garbage algo.

Residential cruise ship Odyssey enters lay-up in Cambodia amid soaring fuel costs After more than two years of sailing around the world, the residential cruise ship Odyssey has suspended operations in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Operator says monthly fuel costs have risen from around $1,800 to $6,000–$8,000 per cabin in parts of Asia, prompting residents to disembark as the company pursues restructuring. According to #MarineTraffic data, the 196-metre, Bahamas-flagged vessel departed Sriracha Anchorage, Thailand, on 21 October and docked at Old Sihanoukville Port on 23 October, assisted by the tug Koh Takiev. She remains moored there. Over the past 12 months, Odyssey has travelled 35,885 nautical miles. However, her time underway fell to 34% over the last 30 days, compared with 51% across the past year, while her average speed decreased from 8.2 to 6.9 knots.

Spotted this first-gen #Skoda Octavia vRS on Marketplace. A rare car to see these days, especially in unmodified form. Doesn't look in bad shape, either. Done 126k and has a few advisories (and no mention of belt history), but up for just £2,000. Still a box I'd like to tick.

Having the United States sink to the bottom of the ocean on Trump's watch seems to be overdoing the symbolism, somehow
BREAKING: 'Florida's Okaloosa County has announced that the SS United States will be transformed to become the "World's Largest Artificial Reef" on Thursday, November 12, 2026.' The sinking will be livestreamed on thessus.com #ssunitedstates

‼️ EU governments approved a GDPR change to let companies train AI on Europeans' personal data without consent. It makes AI training a possible "legitimate interest", judged case by case. Parliament must still agree. Max Schrems calls it a "digital expropriation" of Europeans.
