Asia was supposed to be an enormous growth market for LNG.
Not anymore. Shortages, spiking prices, massive uncertainty. Asia is moving to renewables instead

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.
I saw the original in London. It was one of the best musical theatre experiences of my life. Amazing . . . especially at the height of the Cold War. I've wished for a revival just as a historical piece.
This looks very interesting.

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap.
I can’t believe it 😭
Very cool!
Nice of you to get my son and daughter in the photo (playing at the table behind you) 😍. Shocking not to see them sticking knives in each other's back (they are a bit super competitive when it comes to playing strategy games 😂).
Happy Confederate Surrender Day from the cheerful Free-Staters of Lawrence, Kansas
omg
those astronauts who are parents?
THEY CAN LITERALLY TELL THEIR CHILDREN “I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK”
Truly one of the great comedies.
I, for example, ghost wrote for one of my mentors for years and was then accosted in a hotel room by him. I was then not selected for a competitive fellowship at his institution 1-2 years later. Good times!
8 players of Sidereal Confluence at Circle DC
For not my games stuff, the dinner last night at Rooster and Owl was incredible, so much delicious stuff!
Highlight of today was an 8-player game of Sidereal, however. Kudos to Akar (spelling?) and The Meeple lady for making it happen

Schubert's Hungarian Melody, played by Andras Schiff, who has been refusing to return to his native Hungary under Orban (out of principle, and also b/c pro-regime elements were threatening to break his hands if he returned).

Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.
This is my assessment of why Trump’s war went so badly wrong. Underestimating an enemy and a belief in a quick victory are familiar sources of failure, compounded in this sense by incredible ultimatums and delusional claims. (£/free trial), open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/t...?
Look at the women at NASA.
They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.
And they are doing it all with joy.👇
Hungary… WOW 🤩🇭🇺
My son said he heard repeatedly, "What a beautiful map!"
"Resist buying". What strange concept is this? 😂
Day 1 of Circle DC: Foxes and Lions. 😍
In the Circle DC Day One debrief from our kids last night we heard raving lust about this game. Our son described it as the Italian City-States version of Here I Stand, which makes it very attractive to household. The debrief was about 90 minutes (soooo many stories). Very cool! 🔥
One of the less-important aspects of the Swalwell story is the use of Snapchat.
It's amazing how much of our internet and social media ecosystem was made by creeps for creeps.
It is officially happening! I have already secured chapter proposals from over 19+ authors -- reflecting a wide variety of organizations, such as the Philippines Marine Corps, Canadian Navy, British Army, Australian Defence Force, Colombian Navy, French Army, and more! #wargaming

I got a little carried away watching on YouTube, some of the last minutes of the anti-Orbán concert in Budapest.
Quite inspiring, and Hungary's most famous voice, opera star Botond Ódor brought the curtain down.
