There's a feeling of helplessness in the EU as Jan. 20 approaches. That's nonsense. The EU controls the single biggest exit point for Russian oil - the Baltic - and Greek ships are 25% of capacity. The EU has a lot of power, which gives it leverage over how war in Ukraine ends...

Sorting my academic books. Those I will give away contain my hopes & dreams of democratic progress. Those I have kept give warnings & analysis of democratic crisis. Failures of collective psychology as people willingly submit to the strongman. The drum beat of conflict & war. Time to armour up.

I stopped sharing dog pics on Twitter a long time ago. That place started to feel pretty bleak and bleak places are unworthy of dogs.
