Global crisis style note: What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

Ma se ce l’avessero detto anche solo pochi anni fa che avremmo visto la distopia di Stati Uniti e Russia uniti nella lotta per far vincere i nazisti in Germania, non ci avremmo mai creduto.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

Since it is Valentine Day (AKA yet another annual event to make people buy tat), here is a 15th century heart-shaped Book of Hours.

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate. (They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase). 1) Go to your account page 2) Hit cancel 3) Change sub back.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

From now on I'll be referring to the insane duo in the White House as Felon & Kelon (Ketamine Elon, for those who ask).

We should be throwing up lab space in places like Cambridge and Tatton Park at a vast rate. Biggest opportunity to recruit scientific talent since the 1930s.

How are people getting ready for the cold snap? I bought myself some extra-warm socks, put out seeds and fat balls for the birds and started playing The Invincible. #cold #snow #winter

Of course the billionaire founder of Politico was surprised that people canceled their WaPo subscriptions over Bezos' capitulation to Trump. He cannot fathom people wanting to support institutions they believe share their values and aren't transparently hypocritical in claiming to support democracy.
