Will eventually grow up. Perpetually confused.

Behavioral and information economics, experiments, and learning/memory. Lately, also 🇺🇦 topics

Dubya looked Putin in the eye, and saw his soul.

Obama had the "reset"

Trump 1 was all over him

Biden showed a lot of backbone (but provided only enough wapons for 🇺🇦 not to lose, not enough to win. And didn't seize 🇷🇺 assets)

Trump 2 is still dancing with him

One of the wonderful quirks of Kharkiv is a children's railroad – a fully functional rail system with small cars where children can learn about rail transit, and have fun riding the small railroad.

I rode it as a kid and had a ton of fun.

Russia bombed it today.

Truly an awful attack on my native Kharkiv. Civilian homes and apartment buildings.

Beyond disgraceful.

Russia is a terror state.

A 🇫🇷 (? likely; they gave 5-6 Mirage 2000 to 🇺🇦 but this is a different mod) drew the 🇺🇦 trident (country's seal) over the Black Sea.

🇺🇦 has successfully attacked the Crimean Bridge (Putin's symbol of occupation, build after annexation) for the third time.

1100 TNT equivalent in the pillar.

The attack is continuing - unmanned surface vessels currently blasting a path through defenses for other USVs.

The trucks were carrying prefab homes.

At certain points, the roofs of the homes were opened remotely.

Inside were rows of drones, which flew up and attacked the airfields

Final note. The singer of a Ukrainian band Little Zaches (after the fairy tale), posted this:

"I don't know what Russia is counting on. In the basement of one of the buildings [below] attacked last night is a recording studio/practice spade used by Little Zaches sometimes.

They are open today"

Including at least three children - 8, 12, and 17 years old.

The face of the first responder who dug up the bodies says it all.

We *can* have nice things. We just need to take steps to get them.

And even this can be improved upon!

Another large attack by Russia on Ukrainian cities overnight.

70 missiles, -150 drones, including some decoys

Unfortunately, this is true - the political prisoners released by Putin repeat - verbatim - the same genocidal propaganda, while musing about how difficult it is for Russian soldiers to kill Ukrainians. After 3+ years of a full-scale invasion...

Unconscionable

A horrific Russian strike on Sumy.

34 dead (so far), over 100 wounded, including a girl born in 2025.

Two missiles, one struck a university building at the center of town, another exploded above ground, covering the area with shrapnel.
