Shit, guys if you accidentally put way too much pasta in boiling water, but realised within like 20/30 seconds, scooped out half, tried to dry is with a clean dishtowel and put it back in the bag it would still be ok to use the next day?

The imperial core is continuing the process of self-cannibalization as the interimperial wars between Europe and the US over resource and territorial control continue. Greenland, populated with less than a hundred thousand heavily exploited people, is the newest territory to fall under Trump's gaze. The main draw is the mineral resources present there, of which it boasts nickel, copper, cobalt, and platinum, and much more than remains unexplored under the ice. But the ice is melting, and profit must be made. There is an additional element of wanting Arctic territory to counter Chinese and especially Russian interests and aims; Russia is increasingly eyeing the northern Arctic route as an alternative to more vulnerable routes through the Suez Canal or around Africa, and is investing heavily in icebreakers for that purpose.
However, even if Europe possessed the desire to resist American annexations - and they absolutely do not, at the end of the day - they do not even have the ability. Denmark may, to a lesser or greater extent, make angry sounds and talk about national honour or some such, but their military would be trampled underfoot by even the New York Police Department, let alone a concerted military effort by the US. If Trump wants Greenland, he will have it. This will naturally increase the grumbling in Europe about reconsidering the Transatlantic alliance, and that grumbling may, in the medium-term future, as the American Empire continues its decline, lead to meaningful results. But in the short term, Europe shall have to bear whatever Trump throws at them, for they obviously cannot now ally with Russia, who was the natural counterweight to American interests for decades before 2022.

Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
like other commenter or you can freeze the extra
It would probably be fine but I've never heard of anyone doing that lol
If you have a food dehydrator, drying it out for a bit with that would probably produce better results, but considering how cheap pasta is you might spend more on electricity than you would just buying new pasta.

China May Sell TikTok to Elon Musk If App Banned in US, Bloomberg Reports
The US Supreme Court is currently deciding whether to uphold a law requiring Chinese company ByteDance to stop TikTok operations in the US by January 19.
Senior Chinese officials have already begun discussing contingency plans as part of discussions about how to work with the Donald Trump administration, one of which involves Musk. One scenario discussed in Beijing would see the businessman's social media company X take control of TikTok's U.S. arm.
Please dear god, don't give him more ways to be annoying
imagine they kept tiktok functional though, lot of people flooding redbook right now. I'd prefer Musk running it into the ground.

Apparently the TikTok ban may already be having some unintended consequences:

why on earth people were whining about low chinese bond yields btw, i missed that episode?
(to keep newsworthy #beanwatch update: cocoa is still at 11 k a ton, and coffee is still at 320, but both been steady for a month (awaiting new #beanclimb in the spring)
SHOT:
https://x.com/academic_la/status/1878889705837842653
Israel has capitulated on several factors, allowing for a deal to be reached:
- Isreal has agreed to withdraw FULLY from Gaza leaving no troops or security zone. That includes a full withdrawal from the Philadelphi corridor.
- It has agreed to allow Hamas to rule Gaza. That is not in the agreement, but there is also no mechanism to remove Hamas.
- Israel has agreed not to exile released prisoners but rather let them into Gaza again.
- Israel has waived its demand for a list of live hostages.
- It has agreed to allow residents to return to northern Gaza with only symbolic security measures.
- Israel agreed to accept dead bodies in the first stage.
All of these were red lines for Israel at one point. It is remarkable that all of them are being waived. The victory for Hamas is remarkable.
The reason this happened is clear. Despite incredible victories on the battlefield, Israel has not offered a political program to replace Hamas or moved to remove them from Gaza as a governing force. It has failed to translate IDF gains into political ones. That has, in essence, nullified all of its military achievements.
Given the reaction from other Israeli media, this seems to generally be accurate. Supposedly this is happening because Trump told Netanyahu to have a deal in place by his inauguration or else.
CHASER:
I honestly don't know what to feel or think. What has to be hundreds of thousands have died and those who survived went from living in a concentration camp to a pile of rubble in a concentration camp. It seems like a damned if don't, damned if you do scenario for the resistance.
I'll believe it when Israel inks a deal and then we go more than 48h without a video of the idf doing a controlled demolition of a hospital for orphans
Fingers crossed though
Assuming Trump doesn't nuke Tehran instead, he was 100% the lesser evil choice if this deal actually goes through. All those Harris voters threw away whatever semblances of morals they had left for nothing.

How will Gaza rebuild?
It has been 11 months since I last pasted this:
UN estimates concluded that after the current war, it will take at least a year just to clear the rubble, and between seven and 10 years to rebuild the destroyed homes, and it would take the Gaza Strip until 2092 just to restore the GDP levels of 2022, with GDP per capita and socioeconomic conditions continuously declining. However, even with the most optimistic scenario, it would still take the Gaza Strip’s GDP per capita until 2035 to return to its pre-blockade level.
It wont. The land is already polluted with chemical warfare. It is the equivalent of a superfund site. It needs to be decontaminated first before rebuilding. Since that is unlikely to happen, generations of gazans will suffer genetic conditions caused by the wastes of war, along with the other myriad of pains caused by genocide.

Another unrelated rant
One thing israhell will never admit is that their envy of Ireland. Almost no one hates Irish, anyone who knows 2 things about their history will welcome them, while israhellis forever will have risk of being confronted for their war crimes if they ever go to another country. I should send some baklava to my Irish neighbour
I honestly doubt that. They understand very well that victors get to write the history (this has already happened to a large extent with the erasure of Palestinian history in the region).
It’s just like the American natives - how many people outside of America today do you think care about its history of genociding entire indigenous populations?
Heck, the Germans and the Japanese (the losers) massacred millions not so long ago and they’re not facing any retribution today at all.
