Nor this.

Georgia's success rate surprises me. Also, Mizzou seems like a terrifying death star via these graphs.

We don't need answers, Senator Schumer, we already know what happened: forceful abuse of power violating rights by an anti-Constitutional regime, in defense of other abuses.

Former commander of Pituffik Susan Meyers must have known that she would be fired for this.

But apparently she found there are bigger considerations at stake than keeping her command.

Question is if we'll see more of this sort in coming months?

How to Ruin a Country A step-by-step guide to Donald Trump’s destruction of U.S. foreign policy.

A step-by-step guide to Donald Trump’s destruction of U.S. foreign policy, from @stephenwalt.bsky.social.

Why the Physics Underlying Life is Fundamental and Computation is Not Our ability to explain gravity fundamentally changed how we interact with our world. So too might an explanatory framework for life transform our future.

"Life, not computation, unlocks our non-deterministic future. Only by looking beyond our current technological moment to the next technologies creating new life forms will we be able to understand what our future could hold."

Ten weeks that shook the world On many fronts, and with deliberate haste, America is vaporising its soft power

"America’s new guard are almost all white, all male, and mostly unqualified to lead the departments they are vandalizing. It's not just foreigners who are remaking plans.

I joined @united24media.com for a status on the war and a discussion of what victory for #Ukraine looks like. I think it was a really good conversation. You can listen to it here.

‘This Is Worse’: Trump’s Judicial Defiance Veers Beyond the Autocrat Playbook (Gift Article) The president’s escalating conflict with federal courts is even more aggressive than what happened in countries like Hungary and Turkey, experts say.

Compared to Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela, Poland, Trump is moving MUCH faster, more aggressively, and with broader claim to power. We're not in danger of becoming those autocracies--we're very quickly surpassing them. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

An Unreliable America Means More Countries Want the Bomb Without credible U.S. security guarantees, nuclear proliferation is likely to increase rapidly across Europe and Asia.

The massive upside of U.S. security guarantees, including for Americans, has been the astonishing containment of nuclear proliferation elsewhere, Debak Das and Rachel A. Epstein write.

Get Ready for the Next Nuclear Age How Trump might drive proliferation.

I understand the need for revenue in normal times, but troubled times, I humbly suggest it would be helpful to put something like this outside the fencing of a paywall.

There are two reasons why Putin invaded Ukraine. The first is that he believed he could. In 2014, Ukraine was weak, embroiled in revolution. He tested this by annexing Crimea—and succeeded. He tried again in eastern Ukraine; it didn’t go as well, but he bided his time.

A great interview. Unfortunately, informed, researched content like that consistently provided by Professor Bronk is no longer valued or welcome in the United States. You cannot apply logic or follow these actions to any logical conclusion because there is not any logic to it.
