#Russia oligarch Oleg #Deripaska on #Venezuela
If our American ‘partners’ get their hands on Venezuela’s oil fields (and they have already got their hands on Guyana’s fields), they will control more than half of the world’s oil reserves. And, apparently, their plans include ensuring that the price of our oil does not rise above $50 per barrel.This means that it will be difficult for our sacred state capitalism to leave everything as it is: not cutting costs, not getting rid of non-core assets, continuing to engage in grandiose projects without the necessary expertise and without the participation of private business in order to develop competition (and in general, it will become difficult to put pressure on private business, because starting this year, it is becoming the main contributor to the federal budget, and next year it will bear the main burden).

President Zelensky issued a clear and urgent appeal to Ukraine’s international partners, stressing that continued and reliable support is not just a matter of politics, but a matter of survival.
“Over 1,070 guided bombs, nearly 1,000 attack drones, and six missiles launched by Russia in just the past week. He underscored that missiles for air defense systems, currently sitting in warehouses abroad, could be actively saving lives if deployed to Ukraine now.
⚡️ RUSSIA'S WAR AGAINST UKRAINE — JAN 4, 2026

According to Axios, the CIA embedded a team of agents in Venezuela as early as August 2025 to prepare for Nicolás Maduro’s capture. They tracked his movements, diet, and routines, and even trained using a full replica of his residence, complete with steel-reinforced doors.
Trump claimed Maduro and his wife tried to flee into a steel-armored safe room but were intercepted just in time.

Wow, I’ve just tried #brow6el - a #sixel based terminal (!) web browser - on one of classic Polish portals, packed with ads and mashup JS/HTML. And it… works!
Sixel is an old (DEC times) but very clever protocol for displaying 6-bit graphics right in terminal window, Brow6el is a Chromium-engine using Sixel graphics to render the pages. So essentially you’ve got a fully functional graphical (!) web browser in a text terminal. Because it’s still Chromium, this particular website uses ~500 MB of RAM.
Surprisingly, the build process on Ubuntu is also rather trivial and takes ~5 min (thanks to the use of prebuilt Chromium binary I suppose)
An exploration of Merzbow and the aesthetics of extreme noise.
Focusing on saturation, repetition, and sonic pressure, this episode examines noise as material and method—sound that challenges perception, endurance, and the act of listening itself.

The most interesting thing about #Venezuela right now is this flood of narratives along the lines of ‘the events of 2026 justify the events of 2014/2022’.
These arguments are noticeable, if not widespread, and it is most interesting that they are mostly coming from people in the US and Europe. Who, in theory, should understand concepts such as logic, chronology and moral universalism.
Instead, they seem to have completely internalised Soviet dialectical thinking, conveniently mainstreaming Russian sophistry.
For a gentle introduction into the Soviet school of dialectical thinking I recommend this article:
