The most in-depth coverage I could find is from Russian state media.

From what I’m reading, it looks like a full-on coup has taken place. Both Russian and American media have reported the seizure of the parliament building, with Russian media further reporting the seizure of the presidential administration building.

American-aligned media report heavily referencing US State department media reports:

I missed this one. It appears the RF is trying to set up reciprocal foreign asset seizures ahead of expected formal seizure of RF assets in the US. Here’s a very short article in Xinhua.

This actually looks like an attempt at de-escalation to me. The seizure of foreign property is an act of war, and the Putin administration seems to be looking for a way to appease RF entities holding those frozen assets in the US without a war declaration, should those assets be subject to formal seizure by the US. Am I reading this correctly?

The Cuban Communist Party is mad at the German Embassy over a Facebook post.

On that same date, Press Freedom Day, 8 161 kilometers from Berlin, the German Embassy in Cuba, and through the Facebook account of that legation, consummated a gross act of interference and flagrant violation of international standards for diplomatic relations, by altering the text and photo on the front page of Granma with erasures typical of (un)classified documents, even on the name of Palestine. "There is not much to see here," the publication added.

A 4.8 earthquake hit NYC this morning. The footage from the U.N. Security Council meeting is pretty funny.

I’m not sure I’m following you here. The RF presidential election isn’t going to have much effect on the war imo, if that’s what you’re asking. Also I wouldn’t characterize the territory of the Donbas and surrounding regions as “poor as shit”. It’s some of the best farmland in Europe, and it’s also the biggest industrial region on the Ukraine. The people and social infrastructure in that region have been relatively impoverished since the ‘91 counterrevolution, but it is actually very valuable territory.

Tsar Peter I ditched his traditional Russian robes and donned a waistcoat and breeches. What is he trying to say? That Russia is a French colony now?

It's unclear if the soldiers provoked the coyotes.

For the folks who don’t live in North America, coyotes basically never attack humans. They are not considered dangerous. I have seen confrontational behavior from a coyote only once, and it was because I got near a den. They sent out a single coyote to stand firmly between me and the den and growl a little. You would have to be really dumb to miss the message.
