I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

@ellecordova.bsky.com Some typeface politics for you today.

Do we know how many Trump voters weren't really voters before 2016 but were _Apprentice_ fans, and will stop voting when he's off the ballot?

Where were you in '62?

You're excused. Please leave quietly.

Nonsense. They are attacking Venezuela because they want to attack Venezuela.

The way you write that, it sounds like the ending of a Lovecraft story.

Are there any international standards for the number of toilets per person on current spacecraft? Are there guidelines for lunar stations?

A Google search for "yimbys are so detached from reality" should bring you to some replies to that post, and from there to the post itself.

With this socio-political perspective in mind, re-read Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy. He is making a similar argument about what follows after a dislocation in one's personal existence (in his case death, but we need not be so literal) that you are for the public space.

Another guy wants to build a statue of Prometheus on Alcatraz Island. I wonder if this is a theme with them. Do they see themselves as legendary bringers-of-fire? www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Let that zinc in.

I wonder how much that single national statistic is obscuring differences between the states. And then, of course, *why* some states have worse accident rates than others.

Huge survey reveals seven social classes in UK The largest-ever survey of social class, conducted by the BBC, suggests there are now seven social classes in the UK.

In 2013 the BBC reported on a sociological survey that considered seven classes. The researchers looked beyond wealth and income to include social and cultural "capital", in different combinations. www.bbc.com/news/uk-2200...
