Watched Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein last night: a sumptuous, melodramatic, unflinching adaptation that captures the spirit of the book better than any other version I’ve seen, while also making the story contemporary. Still love Boris Karloff, but this is the one

Iranians are not pawns in a geopolitical chess game. We are descendants of poets, philosophers, and revolutionaries — rooted in a land that has gifted the world beauty, wisdom, and culture for millennia. That land is not a battleground. It is our home and it is sacred.

Thanks. I’m sure this is wish-casting, but man it would be nice if reporters asked the logical follow-up for each other. Sometimes it may not be obvious what the logical follow-up is, but in this case it seemed like if you were awake, that question was begging to be asked

Trump and Musk have far more in common with the self-destructive zeal of Cultural Revolution Maoists combined with the kleptocratic brutality of Mobutu or Ceausescu than the patiently systematic autocracy building over decades by Putin and Erdogan

And the Ukrainians get intel sharing and aid back. I the Russians say no all that Trump will have succeeded in doing is wrecking US arms industry sales in Europe for the next two decades
Looks like we’re back to square one again. Russia has said it’s not interested in temporary ceasefires for the sake of temporary ceasefires, so I don’t see this going anywhere. Another Trumpian triumph.
