Medvedev is a drunk and his job is to keep Russians high on their own supply. His individual utterances are 100 percent not news. The news is the message in aggregate. Covering his bullshit on individual turd basis is essentially misleading reporting.

I think the "thank you for your service" thing really takes veterans off the hook. There's a lot of agreement among us post-9/11 types that we don't like being thanked. Maybe if people insist on saying "thank you," they could pair it with "What are you doing to continue to serve the nation today?"

The one quibble in this otherwise spot-on piece: I suspect the banks own a good deal of leverage that IS valuable: Tesla and SpaceX. Even if Twitter fails and files for bankruptcy, I suspect they will be no worse for wear. Here's a high-quality ad I saw today on Twitter

If Hamas thinks this is 1967 or 1973 and they will have lots of help, I suspect they are mistaken.

So much of war turns on politics. In 1299, the leaders of the Scottish rebellion were literally choking each other at meetings. But Edward I failed to manage his nobles in the wake of the clusterf*** that was the 1298 campaign that yielded a decisive English victory at Falkirk BUT 1/3
