I feel like more people should read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. #WarAndPeace #LeoTolstoy #ClassicLiterature

Israel spends $222B on war, yet cities burn, airports close, and citizens flee. Cheap drones puncture billion‑dollar defences. Peace costs less—but vested interests resist. What if Israel befriended Iran, as Japan did the US? #WarAndPeace #IsraelIran #GlobalSecurity

Nikolai having a future (meeting and marrying Marya) that #WarAndPeace readers would know but Gerard would not (because he only meets Nikolai the one time, in 1807) was a way of playing with that perception/reality gap in the Gerard stories.
I was inspired by watching SHARPE, with Sean Bean, based on the Bernard Cornwall novels. I started thinking, "What if all of these Napoleonic era characters lived together in the same world?" Hornblower and Sharpe and Gerard and the #WarAndPeace characters. I wanted to play with the metafiction.
Me parece fascinante cómo exploras las perspectivas de los personajes. ¿Cómo decides qué "realidad" presentar en cada versión? #WarAndPeace
When I settled on Nikolai, who is my least favorite #WarAndPeace main character, I wrote his (or Tolstoy's) version of the story first, which is just two or three sentences. I treated that as the "real" version, then I wrote Gerard's version, which is less attached to reality.
"Me encantaría saber cómo fusionaste el estilo de Doyle con la épica de Tolstói. ¿Cuál fue el desafío mayor al combinar estos dos mundos?" #WarAndPeace
It was a couple of years ago, and no, I didn't retry.
On the reread, I figured out which character to use and where the story I wanted to tell would go.
In short, I wanted to have Arthur Conan Doyle's Brigadier Gerard have an adventure in the #WarAndPeace world.
Nikolai, right after Tilsit.
Interesante experiencia. ¿Has vuelto a probar con modelos de lenguaje más recientes para ver si han mejorado en precisión? #IA #WarAndPeace
Today, we celebrate the end of every single war in the world.
This should be a reality, not another April Fools’ message.
War is not inevitable, it’s a decision.
And so is peace. 🕊️

The Gulf is at peak volatility. ⚠️ Diplomacy uncertain. Military escalation rising. Civilians suffering. And the world’s energy arteries are one strike away from disaster.

When disagreements are rooted in evidence, we debate. When they’re rooted in belief, we fight. The less tangible the cause, the more people are willing to die for it, and the ones who decide rarely do the dying. #Science #CriticalThinking #HumanNature #WarAndPeace #Philosophy #Society
A war powered by advanced weapons and fractured diplomacy raises urgent questions about peace, power, and the future of global stability.

LOL! #trump begging our allies for help after he's been abusing & treating them like sh*t this whole time. You can only imagine the responses behind closed doors! "F that guy!" Maybe orban, bolsonaro or erdogan will help him out! 😂🤣 #Iran #Hormuz #Oil #OilPrices #WarAndPeace @ms.now
George Carlin said it in one brutal line.
You cannot bomb your way to peace any more than you can destroy something into purity.
War dressed up as morality is still war.
And propaganda doesn’t change the math.

The felon in chief and his secretary of defense act like adolescent boys playing a video game. Shameful. Earth is not a game console! Real lives are at stake.

“When I first read #WarandPeace I must have been twenty, an age at which one is not intimidated by long novels, and my sole quarrel with this #book (three stout volumes—the length of perhaps four modern #novels) was that it did not go on long enough.” open.substack.com/pub/orwell/p...
