“There are 450 million Europeans. We should not be crying out for 340 million Americans to defend us against 140 million Russians, who are not even able to defeat 38 million Ukrainians.

I already knew they had my stuff. The last time I complained about it I got called an "ideas landlord" for believing I should get paid for the work they stole.

"Walz says now he should have been doing events all through last fall. He says he offered, but was told no, and in his bewildered daze, he decided to be a team player."

Hi All, Just sent out a piece about a great failure of strategic leadership. European leaders failed to see Trump for what he is, but instead tried to make him what they wanted him to be. Thankfully, Ukrainian resistance has given them valuable time to make this up open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Democrats, This Is the Worst Possible Time for a Civil War
The party’s base is right to be angry at Chuck Schumer, but the country’s fate hinges on the fight against Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

I think Hayes was genuinely interested in understanding why tf Chuck folded on the CR & making him elucidate his reasoning. Hayes was successful in that, it just turns out Chuck really is stuck in 2000 era politics & is being a dumbfuck.

I don't know if you saw Chuck Schumer with Chris Hayes tonight...but....I have to believe they could have found someone more interesting to fill that spot with than Chuck. I don't want to hear a Goddamn thing from Chuck Schumer.

this is where the analogy to Brexit is really useful. A similar attitude that the US is completely self-sufficient and needs nothing from anyone. Too bad a lot of innocent people are gonna find out the hard way that this isn’t true.
There are going to be, I believe, a cascade of economic issues this summer related to the tourist industry. Fewer people will come here to travel. Fewer people will come here to work within the industry.
a friend flying home to the US from Heathrow texts from the runway: “I don’t think I’ve been on such an empty flight since October 2001. I wonder if people are reluctant to come to America now. It’s literally 5% full. If that."

One of NASA’s WB-57 high altitude research plane (N926NA) was added to the FAA LADD list.

It no longer can be tracked on sites like FlightAware or Flightradar24.

This plane is often using for imagery during rocket launches or capsule re-entry.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.
Bluesky says it is now sending referral traffic through its "go" subdomain to make it easier for publishers to track the traffic coming from the social network (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)

We 💙 links!

Starting this week, we've made it even easier for newsrooms and more to track how much traffic Bluesky is sending to their sites.

For those setting up analytics, Bluesky's referrer is go.bsky.app.
