Diplomatic dude. I know a little about international economics. I once explained the electoral college on Mongolian TV. Climate change believes in you. Vaccines are good, actually.

More evidence of the United States in the transnational repression business.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

There’s no nice way to say this: promoting anti-vax bullshit while kids are dying of vaccine preventable illnesses is tantamount to murder, and should be treated as such in the media and the courts.

About 99.9% of you who pirate books live in an area with a public library, and that library almost certainly has some sort of digital ebook platform. Go get a library card and a Libby account and just wait your six weeks for your free copy to borrow like the rest of us.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

"I see restrictions placed on only the defending nation; the granting of territory to an invader; the lifting of sanctions; the absence of enforceable guarantees. This creates the conditions for the next war—the world will have taught the aggressor force prevails."

When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
Sweet lovers love the spring.
