Tl:Dr;

Trump has advanced dementia.

When world leaders engage with him, they need to engage him like we would a dementia patient.

It's all about what their needs in the situation are, not about what's real.
I would agree 100%, and Anders is WAY more qualified than I am on anything conflict-related.

However, we really need to factor in Trump's dementia - and that is something I do have career experience with.

The theatre isn't for Europe, the theatre is for Trump.
True. But this theater is getting tiresome, and I am not sure it's working for Europe. Perhaps it's time to make it clear to Trump that there are no negotiations instead of leading him to think that there are—and in the process fooling a lot of Europeans into believing that peace is close.

What folks need to realize about "peace talks" is that this is all theater for Washington. Ukraine knows that Russia has no intention of stopping the war, and the Russians know the Ukrainians know that. So this is just all a performance for Trump, hoping he blames the other for the lack of peace.

September 13, 2026 will be the 20th anniversary, in point of fact. For a brief period of time, my cat Ghlaghghee (pronounced "fluffy") was the most famous cat on the Internet. She took it in stride. One of the great moments of the blog era. We should do something for the anniversary. Suggestions?

I'm often asked why my book about the dramatic rise of the "working homeless" is based in Atlanta.

The answer? Because Atlanta is a stand-in for any number of other cities where workers earn nowhere near what it costs to stay housed, and people are forced into homelessness despite working nonstop.
Atlanta retail workers earn less than half of what they need to make rent
The wage gap between rent and earnings in metro Atlanta is on par with the national level.

The recent federal budget was an opportunity to ask Canada's wealthy seniors to make a few sacrifices int he name of intergenerational equity and nation-building.

We missed it. Again. And it only gets harder from here. #cdnpoli

1/ We should know & respond to incr wait list deaths but the recommendation, "partnering with private clinics at lower costs than hospitals, providing patients a mix of public & private options", suggests the other motive for this report is more private surgical centres (that is known to NOT WORK).

But is anyone going to hold Doug Ford accountable for the dismantling of our system? Of course not. All healthcare blame is to be directed to the federal government, because shut up.
