It's somewhat amusing that you can pass yourself off as a Russia expert commenting on this "peace deal" as messy but at least "a way to end the war" without realising Kremlin sees it as just a tactic to continue it later.
It will end nothing.

On my recent #AegeanAirlines the flight attendants delivered my gluten free meal with an additional two pieces of gluten-full bread.
They couldn’t understand why I might object.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

AI is a bubble. We didn’t ask for it. We don’t want it. We can’t opt out of it.
The tech oligarchs are forcing it on us because they don’t want to have to pay anyone for labor (because they want everything.)
We know this. And it’s not even a major reason why we hate it. It is objectively awful.

The cruelty is the point
In a move that is equal parts cruel and absurd,the head of the USDA has announced that “everyone” receiving SNAP benefits will now have to reapply yes,even those already struggling to put food on the table. Because nothing says “we care about feeding Americans” like bureaucratic chaos and red tape.
Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits
Food aid recipients are already required to recertify their information regularly. But the move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the program.

Pam Bondi has posted rants and videos saying that there’ll be no mercy for those who threaten federal agents.
But she and her boss just pardoned a woman who threatened to shoot federal agents.
Why did this Florida woman get a pass? She’s MAGA.
Trump doesn’t care about federal agents. Never did.
