I always thought that learning about transatlantic relations and security debates would position me to be an ambassador to NATO, not realizing the true career path lay in developing deeper toilets. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, etc. etc.

The subject area starter pack is a terrific way to build your network while also reinforcing your impostor syndrome when you notice you aren’t included in the list. It’s the entire academic experience in one place!

He resigned from current seat but was reelected. He could still take up his seat again on 3 Jan.

This is a helluva game, though. Like how you finish a semester.

For decades, Europeans have dodged the question of whether they should develop the and capabilities to defend their own security as a partner rather than a satellite of Washington, aided and abetted by Americans who didn’t want the Europeans to become too independent.

And now…?

Isn’t it funny that the same people who say we should lay off the Nazi comparisons are also clamoring for the Senate to enable the President to bypass constitutional limits?

Brilliant. Ich sage immer wieder, die AfD und ihresgleichen bieten falsche Antworten auf echte Fragen. Es ist die Aufgabe der demokratischen Kräften, ehrliche Antworten darauf zu entwickeln.

He never really rose
In a practical sense
But today I suppose
We see the fall of Pence

Who found that one could lick
The boss’s boots too long
So long it’s hard do the trick
Of singing a different song

Mike has learned again
What others always knew
Your legacy my friend
Is always what you do.

Amen! You know I have never had a scotch egg, but every time I have heard or seen one described I am sure it would be delicious.

The world is still burning
And sooner or later
Someone’ll be calling
“Hey bring up some water!”

But dousing the flames
Takes more than smooth words
Or strategy games
From security nerds.

After the pain—
Or so goes the trope—
Peace falls like rain
At least that’s our hope.
