This is not that surprising, given how greedy Witkoff is.
It is sad that there are only clowns around Trump and that they fired most of the competent people.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Țepeş), seen on the back of a truck with Romanian numbers in the Swedish town where my partner and I live.
The text in Romanian reads: "Where are you, Țepeş, my Lord?"
It is a reference to how Țepeș was depicted in nationalistic historical revisionism as fighting corruption.

I was reflecting on my collaborations over time and how much ableism there is in academia and it is difficult for academia to claim it is inclusive, when it is a hierarchical establishment that puts a lot of pressure on those on "lower ranks," creates artificial obstacles and punishes vulnerability.

In funny happenings, my partner read International Men's Day as International Mens (from menstruation) Day.
As he puts it, given the politics in place everywhere, it is men's day every day, so one does not need another day to celebrate privilege.
I couldn't agree more.

It looks like the 28-point alleged peace-plan for Ukraine was drafted and leaked by the russians, by Dimitrev, with the knowledge of Witkoff and, instead of calling out this nonsense and stopping any negotiations until a real peace proposal is written, the US officials are doubling down on nonsense.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

I'd argue that this has happened with the trivialization of the Covid pandemic. People just don't believe Covid is dangerous. They and the media prefer a different "story", fueled by actors on the Internet.
The virus itself however is curiously resistant to influencer-led moral-epistemic systems.

The deeper problem isn’t just misinformation, its the collapse of shared verification environments and the rise of influencer-led moral-epistemic systems that feel more authentic than institutions.
