It's the last week of summer break for us here, and while I'm ready to have my oldest go back to school, I'm also not. Summer just flew by this year.

Because of course. I haven't yet abandoned Xwitter but this would probably be it for me if that happens. Also I can't help but wonder if this is in part a tantrum over the Ronan Farrow piece...🤔

BBC alert says the Wagner boss Prigozhin died in a plane crash along with nine others. I thought he was going to either "fall" out of a window or be poisoned. I wouldn't have guessed a plane crash. www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66599733There are other sites with slightly more info, mostly "no comment" type stuff from Russian authorities. ETA: I'm not being flippant even though I know it can be read that way. The dictator doesn't like being crossed and opponents seem to conveniently die often. This guy lived longer than I thought he would after the attempted coup.

BBC has updated that his name was on the passenger list, but there is no official confirmation yet he was actually on the plane. This is where I'm getting updates: www.bbc.com/news/live/world-66599774

Msnbc is saying his plane with his tail # landed somewhere else.
All the reporting is coming from state tv
Apparently there was another Wagner leader on the one that crashed

And coming from state tv makes it sound like the dictator thought they had him and then whoops. If I were that guy and still alive, I'd be getting the hell out of Russia and hiding somewhere, though that's obviously not a guarantee.

The US is skeptical about information lol Pergoshin (sp) has a target on him since his failed coup so it wouldn’t surprise me if he was on the plane.

Yeah and with the escalations in Belarus I’m sure he was even more targeted.

Prigozhin was kind of *flaunting* that he got away with the coup attempt, so I won't be shocked if he was confirmed to have been on board. At this point he's considered "presumed dead"
Obviously still sad/wrong. I really hope we don't end up with a GQP president that will hand over part of Ukraine to Putin

Is anyone planning to watch the clown show debate tonight? I normally wouldn't but I might watch the Crooked group thread.

I wouldn't if Trump was involved and yet I'm also curious to see if he continues to suck all of the air out of the room (as I suspect he might) while he's not even present. Although I'm also irritated that Fox is who is hosting/airing. I do not want to contribute to their ratings.
