“Some say that Ukraine should be grateful for everything. The truth is exactly the opposite. The rest of us should be grateful to Ukraine.” - Donald Tusk 👏🏼👏🏼

Today's word of the day: delulu.
With a straight face, the Kremlin just announced they are ready to discuss external control of Ukraine by the UN after the war is over. In their imaginary world, they are winning and think they can dictate terms like this.
The Kremlin is delulu.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Kaja Kallas: If Ukraine's military is to be limited in size, Russia’s should be too. Where Russia has caused damage in Ukraine, Russia should pay.
No amnesty for war crimes; return of the deported Ukrainian children.
This is really very least Russia should agree to if peace is Russia's goal.

My mother and stepfather married there 50 years ago this June 4th. (I also got married there about half as long ago, but not everything endures.) It has a neat vibe.
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

I'm just wondering whose expectations are actually problematic.
The problem with these kinds of surveys is always that "too many expectations" is vague and covers a giant range of possibilities

We need to try harder.
Seven of the eight Ivy League schools are banned from the DOD program. Only my alma mater, Dartmouth College, remains eligible. I suspect it is because Dartmouth hired a hard core MAGA as its general counsel.
I wish we were one of the banned.

I work in a boutique. A male customer wanted us to gift wrap a scarf and lingerie separately, with cards addressed to different women's names. Nothing new to us. But he'd parked a Tesla, so just before sealing up the boxes I switched the two cards. Serve him right.
