Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

I genuinely hate having to plug my work on here. I would rather post my cartoons and drawings without a link to my website, but unfortunately social media is an important element of our business, so I have to do it. I do appreciate the reposts and thank you for the support since I came to Bluesky.

Really time to treat Trump as he is and the world working around that, rather than inventing grand theories for him.
Though this is definitely a good time for demagogues to pretend concern for the masses.

Ok Bluesky, let’s give this a go: I found this postcard in the back of a photo frame I bought at a London thrift shop.
It’s an unsent postcard from a woman called Linda to her parents. The front shows the Kremlin in Moscow and the stamp says 1984 (!).
I’d love to return it to Linda - can you help?

The delays are caused by decades of underfunding of the criminal justice system. Blaming it on defendants is obscene.
Telling the quotes here referring to 'criminals' etc. presuppose the accused are guilty & the trial process an inconvenience standing in the way of locking them up.

It (the G8 clause) suggests that this is less a peace plan and more a trip into Putin's psyche. It's also interesting because it gives more weight to the idea that Trump's fixation on letting Russia back into the G7/8 comes from repeated conversations about it with Putin.

The plan says that "A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States." This implies that both Russia and the Trump administration don't see the US as part of NATO in any real sense. That should deeply alarm every other NATO state.
