Both male & female Reindeer grow antlers, but males lose them in late Autumn. All Santa’s reindeer are therefore female, which means Rudolph is persistently misgendered.

An important piece of analysis about the damage that #Russia's war against #Ukraine is doing to Russia - the section about the lessons of past Russian imperial wars matches the conclusions that MA students taking my Russia at war since 1812 drew in our final seminar.

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day.
"Where there any other contenders?"
"Um, no?"
"A hollow victory, then".

Hardly a surprise. Any ‘agreement’ with Trump is just the start of attempts to extort more, as his various tariffs on Canada & Mexico have shown. In that respect, his approach to negotiations is similar to Putin’s. Deals are essentially worthless.

I still remember the night they banned smoking inside NYC bars and restaurants. So many articles claiming it would be the end of NYC nightlife.
It was 2003.
Things can change. Faster than you might think.

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.

It’s crazy that people used to be able to just smoke cigarettes wherever they wanted

Whatever is agreed by Ukraine with the US or Russia, both superpowers will anyway break the agreement like the Budapest one. Never trust a superpower. That is the reason they force smaller parties to sign agreements: to humilitate and rob them.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

![From the NSS: Energy Dominance – Restoring American energy dominance (in oil,
gas, coal, and nuclear) and reshoring the necessary key energy
components is a top strategic priority. Cheap and abundant energy will
produce well-paying jobs in the United States, reduce costs for
American consumers and businesses, fuel reindustrialization, and help
maintain our advantage in cutting-edge technologies such as AI.
Expanding our net energy exports will also deepen relationships with
allies while curtailing the influence of adversaries, protect our ability
to defend our shores, and—when and where necessary—enables us to
project power. We reject the disastrous “climate change” and “Net
Zero” ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the
United States, and subsidize our adversaries. <last sentence emphasised by me]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kwttqrd6vwu4dhnyqhx5akpp/bafkreif2pnod56qjhkm6slgkyu4hqzdmsoqv5bxbzixog7npg77rzjj644@jpeg)
