The fact I bombed residential apartment blocks last night shows how much Ukraine doesn't want peace.

OTD in 1944 the Red Air Force carpet bombed Narva, then Red Army used artillery to finish the job. As a deliberate act, hundreds of civilians died & thousands were made refugees. We then repopulated it with Russians.

Imagine something like this happening in the 21st century.

Marco Rubio cancelled a meeting with the EU's Kaja Kallas just as her flight was landing in Washington.

King Charles should do the same thing to Donald Trump. "Something came up, I'm sure you understand."

Whatever happens with German elections today, I thank Olaf for all he has done to help me to stay in this war for this long.

His escalation management delays & drip feeding made the difference.

Happy Independence Day "Lithuania"! Here is a picture of you peacefully leaving Russia in 1991, for which you don’t show enough gratitude.

Russia is the leading provider of European independence days.

Ah, a nice example of "The Folly of Rewarding A While Hoping for B," a classic article by Steve Kerr

Some companies are rewarding in-person attendance (and punishing absence) while HOPING for performance

Perhaps kissing-up to the boss is more effective in-person!

Office attendance is becoming a performance metric
Return to work mandates can weed out underperforming staff but risk pushing away valued workers

Always like seeing this graph! So much for “heat pumps don’t work
in cold climates.”
Did you know that the countries with the most heat pumps installed are also in some of the coldest climates?

Nothing about Wirecard surprises me any more. Of course the COO was running a spy ring, why wouldn’t he.
The whole saga was one of my favourite case studies in the corporate fraud class I took with Jim Chanos! More exciting than many thrillers.
Guess which former COO of a once high-flying German fintech was allegedly running a Russian spy ring.

I keep putting off writing something on our 'jargon monoxide" chapter in "The Friction Project" with Huggy Rao. One "flavor" is the "jargon mish-mash syndrome:" when a term means so many things to so many people, that it means nothing. Take "agile." One consultant defined 40 kinds in 40 minutes!
