So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.

I remember Joe Manchin being absolutely effusive that the Inflation Reduction Act would bring millions of dollars to create jobs for renewable energy in West Virginia.... now Trump is killing these opportunities.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Russia's economic collapse is progressing nicely. Russia's railway monopoly is $51 billion in debt and needs a bailout.

Fascinating deep-dive into the Chinese strategies at play in Eastern Russia and Siberia, taking advantage of Putin’s quagmire in Ukraine. Combination of soft and hard power by China as it slowly digests historically Chinese areas that are now Russian, back into China-

Not kidding here, Oblivion Remastered is a huge upgrade of the old game, and its Skyrim-like leveling system fixed most of the problems I had with it, ages ago. And, even unmodded, it looks absolutely gorgeous.

So the Romanians just voted out their Putin Problem Child Sycophant, electing Nicusor Dan, to be the new President.
Dude has a PhD in Math from the Sorbonne, & twice won the Maths Olympiad.
Gotta love a country that elects a genius to run it, but he’s also a soft spoken, hard working, decent guy.

Seriously considering starting a 13th (?) playthrough of HORIZON: FORBIDDEN WEST. I only tried ultra hard once; the escape from Thebes took so many tries which was so frustrating, & then I could not get past the fight with Regalla, so I gave up, but maybe I’ll try again. I miss Aloy & Kotallo.

Austin rents are down 22% from their peak because of a massive amount of home building over the last few years according to Bloomberg News.
