Is there any link between the Trump admin’s “deal” with El Salvador and Bukele’s plan for a “Bitcoin City,” which was going to be scaled back in order to receive loans from the IMF — and Trump admin’s plans to use gold reserves to buy Bitcoin? Or all just coincidence theweek.com/business/eco...

PSA from @johncusack.bsky.social: Democracy is under attack — and paywalls shouldn’t stand in the way of accessing vital public records. News outlets, it’s time to drop the paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. @wired.com did it. @404media.co did it. Now, it’s your turn.

In a review of Jonathan Haslam’s new book, “Hubris,” @sarotte.bsky.social lays out how Putin weaponizes the past to justify his actions in Ukraine—and warns that any peace accord “resting on a false account of how and why the war began will ultimately yield an ineffective deal.”
