Inexcusable elite capitulation of course. On the bright side, I am sure I speak for many when I say that the only line I have ever heard from a Reith Lecture is the one they chose to censor.
Reith Lectures are very prestigious! Trump's threats got a true claim about his world-historical corruption, obviously a legit topic for inquiry, removed from the airwaves.
Same with the investigation into Mark Kelly. Threats are designed to silence *truth-teling.*

This is an exciting issue of @iojournal.bsky.social, and I'm delighted to have an essay weighing the risks of interstate territorial conflict in light of everything that's going on. You'll find I am guardedly optimistic. Looking forward to reading the other essays. #IOFoGG

People often forget all the wars we won between WW1 and WW2. 🙄
Trump: "We have officially renamed the Dept of Defense back to the original name, Dept of War. And remember we won World War 1, we won World War 2, we won everything in between. We won everything that came before. And then we brilliantly decided to change the name. We became politically correct"

I’m not a highly paid political consultant, but it seems to me that “Republicans showed that they’d rather starve children and risk planes falling from the sky than lower health care costs” is a better message than this.

Hiked around a large mountain with great vistas, but my favorite shot of the day was this quiet scene from a small chapel in Rigi Kaltbad, Switzerland.

Fascinating to see the Trump administration argue that the use of state power to extract money from citizens is not taxation if the purpose is to disincentivize some behavior that the government dislikes, rather than to raise revenue. That is not what Republicans used to claim to believe.

This is a monument to the soldiers from Aargau, Switzerland, who served during WW1 and WW2—two wars in which Switzerland, of course, did not participate. They are remembered for warding the evil away. I have seen countless war memorials, but never one like this.

As a American temporarily living in Europe, I feel this very keenly. Thanks to everyone who marched for democracy yesterday. #NoKings 🇺🇸
Good morning, America, from Europe. There have been some rough mornings for a European to wake up to news from across the Atlantic. But today, the message you’ve sent – the crowds, the energy, the hope – feels deeply uplifting and hopeful #NoKings
Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Had a wonderful Swiss regional dish tonight with the unfortunate name of “cholera.” When I googled it, this is what I got.
