1. Trump is pushing forward with his plans to create a "Crypto Strategic Reserve." No one has bothered to explain why diverting government resources into crypto has ANY STRATEGIC BENEFIT FOR THE UNITED STATES. The only benefit is for people who are current investors in crypto. It's a grift.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

“Zelenskyy is the real thing. He stayed in Kyiv, when Russian forces were closing in & the city was under bombardment. Vance, by contrast, chose to move to an undisclosed location when confronted with a few hecklers on a skiing trip this weekend” www.ft.com/content/2e90...

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists. So much for "drain the swamp."

Trump is a thug, a bully and a gangster. This is what statesmanship looks like: doing what's necessary to protect your country's interests, but keeping open the hand of friendship and hoping for a day when the US will return to its senses.

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London. Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers. The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

Youth Theatre is often required to justify its existence by the skills it offers to young people (oracy, creativity, teamwork) and the talent it develops for professional theatre. These are useful, but I think there's something else it does that is much more important.

Don’t steal the revelation Learning is a journey of incompetence. First, we realize that there's something we don't know. Then we see that we're going to be better at it, and we're not good at it yet. Then we figure it out and we've succeeded. Repeat. When we pre-process the information and simply…

Most posts written by Ai about bands, movies, shows and artists you love can be deeply irritating. I find the blow can be softened by imagining the text spoken by Leonard Nimoy in his role as Spock.
