I took an offline day.
Realised I was simply tired, humanly tired.
And then I read the news about russian strikes on a maternity hospital and a bus with miners.
Pure evil.

Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.

NEW: This week, Daily Show host Jon Stewart introduced his audience to Jenin Younes, describing her as a courageous civil rights attorney who had been canceled by both the right and left and therefore “must be doing something right.”
Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.

I've read it. It's the most comprehensive work I've seen, very detailed.
This book doesn’t flatter anyone-it’s worth reading. What struck me is this: nobody here is really in charge, and that’s the trick. These ‘rulers’ don’t rule by courage or conviction, but by incentives and attention. They don’t demand loyalty; they reward performance. And people line up willingly.
I hired professional fact checkers for my book bc it tells the story of how Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger *lied about me.* Hired pros prev at The New Yorker. It was very expensive! My book also went through 6 rounds of legal review. So they haven’t sued me. Read it here:

Maybe someone could document all the shifts in the Washington Post in the last year.
We need to document how this ownership change shifts the content. Would love to see scientists studying and reporting on this as it happens, as well as everyday people documenting the changes in their feeds with TikTok diaries or something similar. I’ll assume we won’t have much if any API access.

Contrast this with how this same administration has revoked visas for researchers studying how information ecosystems are manipulated (including by foreign actors like Russia). Seems strange that they welcome back the manipulators and attack those working to identify and call them out.
Exclusive: A year after Tenet Media was busted for funneling Russian money to MAGA pundits like Benny Johnson and Tim Pool, a Trump administration effort involving State and the FBI has welcomed Tenet's founders back into the US. @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/lauren-che...

The kutia is already cooked.
We serve it for the Holy Eve, and just before serving we add ground poppy seeds mixed with sugar and pour hot boiled water over it.
Many people also like to add nuts, honey, or raisins to taste.

Trump and his propagandists ran a multi-year campaign to redefine “censorship” and leverage false accusations of it to regain power as they redefine history and reality. As far as I can tell, most folks on the left are either unaware, don’t care, or don’t know how to respond.
