I get constant push back from military law colleagues as to whether (1) Israeli leaders have deliberately blocked aid and (2) have done so as a "weapon of war" - the core requirements of the war crime of starvation. Well, hard to read this as anything else. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

Main thing I'm taking from the German election result is that Musk and Vance support for the AfD made no positive difference whatsoever. In the current scheme of things that really matters.

Independents are legitimate candidates with as much right to stand for a seat as any party member. They should be reported as serious candidates who are offering something voters may want. They’re not challenging the natural order, they are the natural order. #AusPol

It's striking the extent to which there's never any justification given for any of this beyond "it's too many people" or "it's actually fake" and no apparent planning behind any of it. It's the aesthetics of "move fast and break things" without any discernible direction or purpose. It's cosplay.
