This should be the story tomorrow, and every day: The leader of one of America’s two major political parties has just signaled to the Kremlin that if elected, he would not only refuse to defend Europe in World War III, but he would gladly support Vladimir Putin. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump Encourages Putin to Attack NATO Memberswww.theatlantic.com At a rally on Saturday, the former president announced he would tell the Russians “to do whatever the hell they want” to states delinquent in their bills.

I can listen to Christmas Jazz all year.

Is there any science behind memory foam, or is it a gimmick that flies in the face of the centuries of lying on flat surfaces people have been doing before getting up in the morning to do physical work?

Does anyone else find that their Bluesky stream is mostly replies, so you’re always seeing one or two remarks in the middle of a conversation? I don’t mind it, it’s just an interesting quirk.

BRB. Gonna go write a short one-room play. THE WAITING ROOM When two legendary actors die on the same day, they find themselves together in purgatory. There, they watch with growing horror as the world remembers them only for blockbuster bit parts. Wonder if I can get McKellen/Stewart to do it.

All that time Twitter had a tight character limit on tweets I used to chafe against it. I had no idea the bullshit it was protecting me from.

I managed to knock a glass of water over - into one of my desk drawers. Bedlam.

Note that this is Ukraine’s securiry service and not it’s independent anticorruption bodies (who have been doing great work lately). That is a bit concerning, since the former’s reputation when it comes to investigating economic crimes is dubious.

Did my first trip around IKEA yesterday. The restaurant at the start was the most normal part, and it had good food.

Fire exits, yes, are there in case there is a fire, but really they’re there in case someone shouts ‘fire’

I did a bit about news avoidance for this week's Datawatch 📰 📊 https://on.ft.com/3JRfXVX

Most white Americans do not think their ethnicity affects their successon.ft.com [FREE TO READ] Other charts of the week: Europe’s water industries compared, Asian hornet sightings in the UK, the world’s most congested cities and how many people are avoiding the news

If all the invite codes get used, Bluesky should double in size every two weeks. By December that would see something like Thread’s 50m people joining a day. Of course, the cumulative total at that point would be something like one and a half billion and I just don’t think we have that many friends.
