Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

Khanna: I’ll break some news — we’re talking with Massie now about getting another major press conference with the survivors early next week at the Capitol. There’s going to be so much momentum, left and right, to say: out with the Epstein class…

I regret to inform you that people are now listening to their phones on speaker on airplanes. Insufferable! Am seriously thinking that next time I am in such a situation, I will just start reading my book out loud??

Did you happen to leave your @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk purchases on the Metropolitan line yesterday?

Did one of your friends do this and send an anguished message to the group chat?

If so, Darren has just done you a very good turn. 👇
If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

Trump's allies in Germany betraying the country and helping Putin. Sound familiar?
Senior German officials have accused the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party of deliberately abusing parliamentary powers to collect and likely pass secret information about the country's military capabilities and the state of critical infrastructure to Russia.

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Our poetry class (with women from Ethiopia, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Ukraine, Palestine/Jordan) at Melissa today had musical instruments as a prompt--we had poems about ouds and qanuns and kalimbas, and ended with spontaneous singing and a bit of dance demonstration.

Ust-Luga is key for the Russian export of oil and gas via the Baltic Sea.

It is reported that the main damage from the drone strike was inflicted on the cryogenic unit for deep hydrocarbon processing, where gas condensate and natural gas are fractionated. It is a critical part of equipment.
