« Ecrire l'Histoire, c'est foutre la pagaille dans la Géographie », Daniel Pennac
This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline. COMFORT READ

Attending my first Fed conference since the inauguration, and I get how people in totalitarian regimes feel. Any speaker who begins with praise for the leader or coopts the leader’s language (“rogue politicians”), you know they’re full of BS but you listen anyway to know which way the wind will blow

I have seen several times the look in a cat’s eyes when it knows it will die within a day. Cats know. Tonight my dog looked at me with that very same expression, that same knowing in its eyes that the end is near. But no, he just needed to go out and pee.

This book is going to be a great read. I can’t wait for it.
And I hope there will be a couple of sequels dealing with what happens on Monday, March 10.

I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.
