In a piece for The Atlantic, the Russian chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov writes about how Putin seized power, parallels in with the current state of U.S. politics, and what Americans should do to avoid the same fate. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Beautiful

This. With globalisation tariffs make no sense, even less so with exemptions. It takes years to build a manufacturing industry - it needs incentives to force a gradual change

Serious question: What can the judge actually do to make the administration comply with the order? It seems that there are no sanctions, therefore, the judge’s orders are effectively without bite.

news.sky.com/story/what-p... Nice to know what effect tariffs will have - but shouldn’t British media firstly focus on the impact to Britain? For example Scotch Whisky?

The reality of world politics and power…

Oh well, that’s the last bottle of Jack Daniels… I have been liberated to choose Scotch Whisky. Time to search for non-American alternatives

Getting photo bombed at sunset

Reflecting on holiday

Just back from a business meet up in the US. Reflection: It was like there was a massive herd of elephants in the room - nobody wanted to discuss the political situation - no jokes, absolute silence. Never seen that before in all the years I have visited. Fear? Apathy? Difficult to understand.

#home #delta #travel #badtrip I’m home! After a torrid journey from PDX to LYS thanks to Delta… first flight delayed 8h (indefinitely?) … FOUR hours standing to get rebooked… route via LAX with additional 20 hour layover in CDG…. (Yep a TGV would be quicker) /1

And this shot blew my mind… beautiful colours. Blue hour.

Pretty pleased with this sunset. The tripod was worth it.

Experimenting with tripods and longer exposures. I like the foreground and the sky, but something is missing for the sea/waves/horizon. Not sure how to edit better.
