I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

This isn’t the old “de‑Google” guide. It’s a simpler, win‑focused version anyone can follow without despair. If the last one felt like “too much,” this is “just right.” Untangling from Google isn’t easy, but it’s worth it — and it matters. Contact me if you have questions.

The technical term for Trump’s cold-blooded, extrajudicial, extralegal military killing of boaters in international waters is "murder." As in "Donald Trump is a cold-blooded killer, and should be arrested, tried, and if found guilty, be punished with the full penalty of the law."

Look, I know I'm salty today, but the CEO quoted in this Disney AI deal article is a schmucky ass. AI is built through IP theft.
And I'm old enough to remember when Disney sued a daycare for a Mickey Mouse mural. The dissonance from Disney in this article is outrageous.
