every night my father goes outside to yell at this porcupine to stop eating his apple tree, and every night this porcupine makes eye contact with my father as it continues to eat his apple tree

Odesa, a beautiful Ukrainian port city, is under attack tonight. My friend writes that enemy drones are flying over her home. I know that sound. The first time you hear it, you finally understand what it means when someone is trying to kill you.

On some level - LOL.

It's a basic move of banana republics: "invest" into infrastructure. Over there, they build "roads" and "bridges". In US they build "data centers". (Of the same quality as the "roads" and "bridges" in banana republics. Or real estate in China.)

“I had read Hemingway and Remarque for years. I thought they knew everything about war. But they didn’t know mine.”

“When I came back from the front and saw my bookshelf, I felt like a fool,” wrote 25y old Ukrainian soldier and author Artur Dron in UP. 1/

Britain, France, and Germany move closer to giving Russian assets to Ukraine.

“We are ready to progress towards using the value of the immobilized Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine’s armed forces.” — Starmer, Macron, and Merz in a joint statement. 1/

We will only know the FULL tragic story of the 2022 Siege of Mariupol when EVERY each of the 500K pre-War residents of the city is individually, reasonably accounted for: dead or alive, free or in Russian captivity*.

The Mariupol massacre is a wound in my heart that will never heal.

Those blaming Putin (not Russia) for the war just don't understand Russians.

Putin is only giving them the foreign atrocities they demand, the ones that make their own misery seem tolerable by comparison.

Looking forward to the Gloger/Mascolo book, soon to be released; here’s meanwhile a graph posted on X (🧵by “Pedro” x.com/mfphhh/statu...), which is helpful as a quick reference on the various Merkel goverments’ Russia policies.

… city of Kostiantynivka. The city was heavily shelled here, once again. This happened today around 11:00 AM: the russians dropped a guided aerial bomb... the church where civilians were present suffered significant damage. And once again, the russians have taken the lives of innocent people.
