People need to read The Art of War, not the Art of the Deal to understand who is going to come out of the fire alive.

I don't want to rub it in, but can't not share this either.

Live commentary from UTMB Chianti when tuning in after waking up is about the makings of pecorino cheese and the right amount of morning coffee with spectacular rolling hills of Tuscany in the background. Top 3 women apparently lost the way so I'd say the race already looks like an Italian classic.

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Canada annexes 4 Nations Championship BOSTON, MA – The Canadian men’s hockey team has successfully seized the 4 Nations hockey championship from their American opponents, completing their annexation of the trophy nearly halfway through th...

We actually ended up using America’s favourite strategy against them,” said Connor McDavid, who scored the winning goal. “I wanted the trophy, so I took it without asking them what they thought.”

I don't think I've ever seen a better example of how to keep alternative facts and propaganda in check, and it's coming from a conservative brexiteer.

In case your main news sources have failed to report, and as a signal to assess news sources: there was a massive demonstration in London against Trump's Gaza takeover on Saturday. And there is another huge protest against Musk's takeover of the US government at the Capitol today.

I can only summarise the information bubble I participate in, but the two most straightforward opinions on British troops in Ukraine are: 1) it's the only alternative to avoid becoming part of Russia 2) UK co-signed the Budapest Memorandum and it's expected to honour that commitment.

While we are in this deal making business, I'd suggest the UK to send Trump an invoice, and claiming back the New England, Middle and Southern colonies, for the lives lost and dollars spent on the war against Taliban, ok?

In her reporting, Kara Swisher is more right than wrong. This is terrifying to watch.

Did Elon Musk Create A Mysterious Corporation Called ‘United States Of America Inc’? While the company’s purpose is unknown, it shares its name with a widely debunked conspiracy theory, and follows Trump’s claim that Musk will lead a proposed government efficiency commission.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

The problem is, 'looking at' does not make any difference whatsoever.
