German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the end of the Pax Americana, yesterday in Munich, Germany.
“Dear friends, the decades of the Pax Americana are largely over for us in Europe, and for us in Germany, as well. It no longer exists as we know it. And nostalgia won’t change that.

Anything past -20C I've termed as "minus ridiculous", so cold you really don't care how bad.
If only we could bottle and distribute the happiness.

When the mercury plummets to -40° (where Celsius and Fahrenheit finally agree), most sensible creatures burrow inward. But not in the Yukon. Here, in this land where exhaled breath crystallizes mid-air and exposed skin stings within seconds, I found myself moved to dance Bhangra.

On Dec. 13, 1758, the Duke William was transporting Acadians to France from Prince Edward Island.
Everyone on the ship was deported in the Acadian Expulsion.
Damaged in a storm, she took 3 days to sink. Over 360 people died.
This is the story.

Always the villain, but done quite well.
On this day in 1928, John Colicos was born in Toronto.
A Stratford Festival veteran, he was the first person to play a Klingon on Star Trek (Commander Kor). He also appeared on The National Dream, Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek: DS9 (reprising Kor role). He died in 2000.

US has long since blown through the notion of unitary executive theory.
It is now a monarchical klepto-executive.
It is now a monarchical klepto-executive.
New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.
This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.
