None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Oh my word. GB News is now reporting that Putin’s invasion was not an invasion but just a ‘military operation’ and that he didn’t want to take over Ukraine. He sent so few troops , he just wanted a ‘negotiation’. Rewriting history, Kremlin style.

Not the right place perhaps, but I'm looking for academics based in Cambridge who might be on leave for research in (April), May & June and would consider subletting their property. Brexit is working against me to find accommodation. Heard of anything? Do send me a DM :)

I will never understand how this wasn’t the end for either of these deranged brats. Every milquetoast brownnoser who elevated or defended them hoping for a crumb from their unearned power should be ashamed. You knew. The evidence was right there. But you liked standing near the big boys.

It's good to take a moment to remember that this app would not exist if not for Elon Musk. He will always be our King George, the tyrant whose long train of abuses pushed us to try something better. Simply by flourishing here, we rebuke him. Every good vibe here will always be a stick in his eye.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

Generally Trump, the Trump administration, and Trump supporters can be predicted by asking this question: how would a bully handle this? Bullies are weak and insecure and favor other bullies. Hence the craven support for Putin. /1
