Amazing. Ukraine resisted a Russian takeover for three years. The United States didn't last a month.

A reminder that the world's richest man is trying to make it illegal for companies to not advertise on his social media platform.

I am very sad to say, David Lodge died on January 1st. He was a wonderful man and hugely influential writer. I was lucky to be his agent and he taught me so much. His campus novels will be read for years to come. A great loss. www.penguin.co.uk/articles/202...

A very good point. Though it does make a difference whether Putin invades your country with tanks or contrives to get his favoured candidates into power, his objective is the same, & he needs to be countered, not accommodated.

As I & others have been trying to tell Western officials & political leaders for years, Putin is provoked by weakness, not strength. Scholz’s phone call to Putin & his refusal to let Ukraine have Taurus & Trump’s criticism of Zelenskyy for not ceding territory all show weakness.

Not to take issue with any of this, but it’s worth stressing again and again that every 0.1C of warming matters enormously. We’re surely going to miss 1.5C, but we shouldn’t give up. 1.9C is much better than 2C, 2.2C is better than 2.3C, and that is still worth fighting for
