Republican Rep. Don Bacon criticized Trump for appearing to side with Russia over claims Ukraine attacked Putin’s residence, calling Putin a “well-known liar.”
Zelensky said the story was fabricated to justify further Russian attacks and undermine peace talks.

This is unspeakable. It is not normal, it is not acceptable, and it is poisoning the country we love.

🐧🧊 Incredible underwater footage of penguin life, shot from the first person of one of them.
🇺🇦 This beauty was captured thanks to Ukrainian scientists from the Vernadsky Station in Antarctica, who put a GPS tracker and a tiny camera on the bird.

Kind of just feels like the US admin isn’t even trying to understand the conflict anymore, just determined to be friendly to the dictator Trump admires and hostile to the one he assumes the liberals like.
Zelensky lands in Miami. Not a single US official is on hand to greet him. In the language of diplomacy this send an unequivocal message of coldness and hostility. Compare it with the lavish pomp and red carpet shown to Putin when he landed in Alaska a few weeks ago.

So what do we know so far?
Trump called Putin before meeting Zelensky to agree a common position.
Trump publicly stated that Putin seriously wants peace
The Russians have stated that the US and Russia are aligned.
So yeah--this looks like a pantomime so far.

Hi All, Just sent out my free weekend update. We seem to be in the latest act of the US pantomime of negotiating with Ukraine but actually helping Russia. You would think people would have figured it out by now. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

We keep being told we're in a golden age of TV, but it very much depends upon what sort of TV you enjoy. If you love comedy, especially British sitcoms and sketch shows, it's far from a Golden Age.

If neither you, nor your parents were born in a country, or if you do not live there, you cannot be "from" there. Your great Uncle spending 3 weeks in Cork does not make you Irish. Yes Americans I'm looking at you. Get a grip.

I read a summary of Turing saying that machine intelligence would be more likely to be an able to mimic a child mind than an adult one. That seems to be where we are. It sees patterns everywhere but hasn’t learnt to discriminate between them.

Was once in an elevator with Gillian Anderson. She looked like she had the flu at the time. I'm a massive X-Files fan, but I managed to keep my cool. I just politely told her that I love her work, then she shook my hand. A day later I got the flu. Thanks Gillian, best flu ever.
