What this man has to endure. Voldemort to the East, Fagin, Sykes and Monks to the West.

Why can't he just drop dead? Not Zelensky, of course. You know who I mean.

Look what I found in Lviv! On the wall, on the premises of the camo netting project, By_Porokhova. Who is guilty? #Fella #NAFO

Some flee the coming winter and go to Gran Canaria or Thailand. Others spend their holiday in Lviv, making camouflage nets in the company of these lovely and dedicated ladies at By_Porokhova.

Thanks for pointing that out. I doubt people ( if they are real people) from the U.S. or the UK claiming "It's just as bad here" know much about what living under a dictatorship means.

These women are fantastic! And the work is not as easy as it looks. I know. I have just spent some days in Lviv in the company of the strong-spirited ladies at By_Porkohova.

The problem is not producing solar energy, but the distribution.

Thanks for this informative piece!

I don't understand how a monster vessel like that can be anyone's dream.

Hello Europeans (that includes you, Britain)! Why the hype about Halloween? It's an American tradition. Introduced to Europe to make money out of it. What about the quiet tradition of All Souls Night? Or Guy Fawkes Night in Britain?

YouTube video by Decoding Geopolitics Podcast with Dominik Presl John Bolton Explains What's Really Behind Trumps Ukraine Policy

John Bolton was in many European's eyes the hawkish, anti-UN horror lizard during the Bush administration. Now he his— sort of— "the good guy," and well worth listening to. Interesting times we live though.

What if there is truth in both of these statements? That it is not either or?

The big elephant in the room: Overpopulation. Could you imagine a planet with fewer people? Less need for housing. Less migration, poverty, pollution and deforestation.

🇬🇪Over the past three years, Georgia has transformed from a fragile democracy into a Russian-aligned kleptocracy.
The ruling party, Georgian Dream (GD), isn’t just authoritarian-it’s financially desperate.
Everything it does now revolves around one thing: cash.

Pro-Me and The Matter of Mattering Last weekend, we witnessed the commendable “No Kings” demonstrations in the U.S.

What do a blue-haired demonstrator and an over-botoxed influencer have in common? A desperate need to matter. Take any problem in the world, and you’ll find that beneath it lies a desperate need to matter.

This is what corruption looks like.

The limits of our personal experience and the value of statistics The world is huge; to get a clear idea of what our world is like, we have to rely on carefully collected, well-documented statistics.

#AnythingButTrump
"While the news focuses overwhelmingly on all the things that are going wrong, historical statistics allow us to also see what has gone right — the immense progress the world has achieved."

I don't understand why the whole world seems to be surprised by any of these autocratic statements. Doesn't anyone think ahead? Didn't anyone see this coming? And started to draft a plan for how to face it as soon as the Orange moron was elected?

Is Social Media Destroying Democracy—Or Giving It To Us Good And Hard? It’s easier to blame the algorithm than the bewildered herd.

"...in politics, where it’s been known for a long time that most voters are shockingly ignorant and misinformed, with many approaching politics more in the manner of sports hooligans and religious fanatics than the rational deliberators of liberal fantasies."

This is boringly predictable.

I wish I were a god with access to a hell I could send certain people to.

This article was posted by somebody else today, but I cannot remember who. It is not my intention to "steal" somebody else's post, but this article is too good and too important not to be shared despite my forgetfulness.

Inside the tunnels of Gaza A visual explainer of Hamas' network of tunnels beneath Gaza

An excellent piece of journalism about the "Gaza metro." My main takeaway: What if Hamas had spent all this effort and all these resources on building a prosperous Gaza instead?

It may be my wishful thinking playing tricks on me again, but I get the sense that Zelensky sees a victory at the end of the tunnel.

These protests were commendable. But I keep on asking: What did you achieve? What do you want to achieve, #NoKings ?

The Orange is and always will be completely useless. Due to his insatiable ego, he will by happenstance achieve something (his staff will), such as the incomplete Gaza deal.
