Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

If you place a sociopath with NPD in a position where he with some credibility can claim to run the world, you’re in for trouble. Even the old Greeks knew that. #icarus

Hegseth abolished a very important planning office in the Pentagon, and it’s one that I have worked with in the past, the Office of Net Assessment. The ONA is a DoD internal think tank that plans up to 30 years in the future. Getting rid of this office severely weakens our future readiness!

Interesting update on the current situation with regards to international shipping. If you think that this does not concern you, you’re wrong. Global shipping = global trade = global economy. youtu.be/33kfpNiiAmo?...

Easter-run through Tromtö natural reserve. Wood anemones and old oak trees as far as the eyes could see. A good preparation for the Easter buffet.

No, russia's attack on Sumy wasn't 'a mistake.' No one accidentally uses a cluster munition warhead against a crowded city center on a major holiday. Neither was the bombing of the Kryvyi Rih playground a mistake, nor were the filmed murders of POWs. russia systematically uses terrorism as a weapon.

If I wanted to help the Chinese economy, arguably the best thing I could do was decouple the US economy from the rest of the world, put up crippling US trade barriers, destroy the US reputation for business sense and cooperation, and force US allies to do more trade with China.

So, the Chinese communist party uses a Reagan clip to promote capitalism and free trade While the US government wages trade war and threaten with price control on basic commodities. What a time to be alive…

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Running through Stockholm in sunny spring temperatures and enjoyed the returning colours. Passing Dag Hammarskjöld memorial reflecting on the present state of the UN. Also payed my respect at the veterans memorial. ”I don’t share your opinions but I’m ready to die for your right to express them”.
