Elders need to act like elders
OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Or how one of the best selling books of IIRC 1912 was Norman Angell’s book that explained in great detail and - as it turned out - accurately that a major war in Europe would be ruinously expensive *even for the victors.*
(He didn’t claim war would be impossible, as is sometimes claimed.)

I think I discounted just how unprofitable and stupid war already was in 1939.

Another idea: the post-war Ukrainian navy needs new ships. Why not give them, say, an air defence missile frigate for training in the Baltic?

Indelible sexy, campy, pop party of a staging, in the oldest theatre in 🇫🇮, reminiscent of Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet, with a blazing fireball of a Mercutio.
Would see again.

Romeo and Juliet - Åbo Svenska Teater
The fervour of youth, immortality, liberation, revolt, conscious defiance. In Romeo and Juliet we'll see a powerful and energetic ensemble, great personalities and future stars!

@briantylercohen.bsky.social, you might find this brief argument interesting:
@governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social:
As you so aptly declaimed yesterday, the Trump govt. is at war with the constitutional republic of the US.
The situation clearly calls for invoking Ralph §51.7 & Bane §52.1, & for the 2nd State of Emergency for CA this year.

Guess which movie we just watched ..
Like Jarmusch's Dead Man, Carys Davies' West (novel), & Cormac McCarthy's works, it's a Western about a man and a country going to meet its death.
Aster's film was familiar territory:

@ftrain.bsky.social William F. Buckley went into a malfunctioning transporter and split into himself and Lewis Lapham
Maybe not so hard:
William F. Buckley Jr wrote many books & articles, edited National Review from 1955-90, & hosted 1,504 episodes of Firing Line over 33 years: the longest-running public affairs show with a single host in television history.
He was *the* conservative LLM of the latter 20th c.

Here's Ambassador Huckabee, invoking Dresden to shame the UK for its hypocritical post-facto protest of the US-Israel genocide of Palestine.
He's right: the mass murder of civilian populations by fossil-industrial means then, is the same repeating now.

This is what Stalin did with humans. “I love this guy!” and ten minutes later they’re on a bus to Siberia for a decade in a work camp. It’s not a flaw in the machine, it’s how authoritarianism works.
On Monday, RFK Jr. cancelled $500m in research funding for mRNA vaccines.
On Wednesday, Trump said the effort to make them was “considered one of the most incredible things ever done in this country. The efficiency, the way it was done, the distribution, everything about it has been amazing."
