My purely occasional notification that, if you want to see a couple guys bumble their way through writing a novel, Ty and I have a pretty cheap Patreon where we’re doing exactly that. It starts “It was raining the day Josephine Ayari saw her doppelganger.” www.patreon.com/JamesSACorey...

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Muistutus suomalaisillekin: poukkoilevan politiikan aiheuttamat epävarmuudet ovat yleensä suurempi jarru sijoituksille kuin tiukka mutta vakaa ja ennustettava vero- tai sääntelypolitiikka.

Europe must step up its security – no longer can we rely fully on the US to defend our values & Ukraine’s sovereignty. Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security. No negotiations about Ukraine or European security without the EU. @terryreintke.bsky.social, @baseickhout.bsky.social & other leaders⤵️

Perussuomalaiset ovat nähneet Venäjän myötäilyä kilpailevissa puolueissaan silloinkin, kun sitä ei ole ollut – mutta Trumpissa he eivät näkisi sitä, vaikka mies tatuoisi omaan otsaansa ‘I 💗 Putin’ ja julistaisi Kremlin Trump Towerin uudeksi sivukonttoriksi.

Putin shows no intention of peace.Less than 24 hours after US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia, Russia launched one of its largest drone attacks in months, targeting Odesa and other Ukrainian cities.Over 150 drones hit critical infrastructure,despite Russia’s previous claims not to target energy sites.

⚡️ "The impression that the US is now discussing the ultimatum with Russia, which Putin issued at the beginning of the full-scale war," — Zelensky ‼️ "I wonder if we did not go for such ultimatums at the most difficult moment, where does the feeling come from that we will go for it now?".

The ONLY reason why the US wants or will allow the EU and UK at the negotiating table is so that Trump's mobsters can coerce them into lifting sanctions on Russia. The trap has been laid, baited and set. Will Macron, Merz, Starmer, Meloni, von der Leyen and NATO's Rutte walk straight into it?

En ole itse näin pessimistinen, mm. koska on ihan mahdollista, että Venäjän sotakoneesta yksinkertaisesti loppuvat ruplat ennen kuin se saa koottua itsensä uuteen koitokseen länttä vastaan. Mutta sodan vaara on nyt kyllä suurempi kuin vuosikymmeniin. Ainakin 20 % seuraavan 10 v aikana.

Kiinnostavaa: vaikuttaa siltä, että tietty porukka, joka on eniten huutanut suomettumisesta, kallistuu nyt siihen suuntaan, että USAa ei tulisi kritisoida sen Ukraina-toimista, ettei vaan Valkoisessa talossa kukaan suuttuisi. Aivan kuin oikeasti olisi kyse ideologioista.

Cool, Putin gets premium treatment as a revered dear partner as well as everything he has stolen and even much more -- Ukraine gets a spit in the face, an extorted $500 billion bill, no security guarantees, and a new Russian offensive to kill it as soon as Russia is ready. The Art of the Deal.
