“For Now, The Graduation Balls Have Been Delayed For Just One Week, Moving Around Moscow Has Been Partly Restricted.”

It looks like we have news that overshadows both new Hunter e-mails and the imploded Titanic sub, so of couse, these are the headlines at the conservative Rantingly aggregator as I write this (click on the image for a larger version):
The big thing that's impressed me over the past few months has been how easily Conservative Inc has segued from spring break into Memorial Day into Juneteenth and is now heading into an early Fourth of July. And Labor Day isn't that far off! John Sexton at Hot Air covers it thus:

Normally I don’t work this late but there are potentially world-changing events happening tonight. . . . I’m running out of steam so I’m going to call it a night. I’ll probably update this some more in the morning.

Putin is comparing events to the Whites vs Reds in the 1918 civil war, but ol' John Sexton doesn't like working late. It's all about him as he desultorily skims over history. And it's now morning, but it looks like he's so pooped from last night he just can't get back to it.

It isn't just the elites who act like elites these days. Remember, he earns a salary for this.

So far, US reporting seems to be well behind the curve, whether it's legacy media or Conservative Inc. I've fallen back on Reddit r/Ukrainian Conflict, which carries the most recent reports from a wide range of sources, Russian, Ukrainian, and Western, with the caveat that they're all self-serving in one way or another, and we're looking at major fog of war.

For now, that's all I have to add.
