Ordered some predatory mites, as I think bugs are going to be the only way to keep pests under control.

The US announced Rosneft and Lukoil sanctions on Oct 22. Those only went into effect Nov 21, but it looks like they scared off Greek oil tankers well ahead of going into effect. This will be pushing down Urals oil price versus Brent and hurting Russia. Good!

My rule of thumb is if the company is named after something in Lord of the Rings, it’s almost certainly evil.
Since its founding in 2017, Anduril Industries has become one of the hottest companies in a crowded field of defense-tech startup.
Its fast-moving approach comes with its share of setbacks.

Not just coffee, but *caffeinated* coffee (amazeballs!)
Good thing, because I'll never give up my morning cup, which occasionally can stretch to include a second, midmorning latté or capuccino.

Um, Megan? Was there an incident in a Trader Joe's parking lot recently?
Friends: do you know a Megan, who recently hurt her ankle in a Trade Joe’s parking lot and had surgery? Because her pissy ginger boyfriend is talking shit about her at Denver airport and thousands of women on Threads from *at least four* continents are gonna hunt him into his last days.
Pass it on.

NEW: Data on Russian forces’ rate of advance indicates that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, and a rapid Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not imminent. Russian advances elsewhere on the frontline have been opportunistic and exploited seasonal weather. ⬇️🧵
