Some good news. About 7,000 of you helped raise more than $1 million for drone-jamming automobiles that are helping medics saving lives on the front in Ukraine. This campaign was a huge success. Thanks to all of you good and generous people.

It's interesting that Russia withdrew all of its personnel from Venezuela exactly 14 days before Trump's invasion. China didn't withdraw their personnel. Cuba didn't withdraw theirs. Just Russia.

It is almost as if someone called Putin to warn him what's up as part of a quid pro quo.

Not almost.

Wow. Tracy Beth Høeg, the FDA's new acting director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) just put this slide up during her presentation to ACIP.

Basically all manufacturers and retailers should be obligated to either collect their waste and broken products, or pay for others to deal with them.

You’d see an amazing display of innovation in efficient, repairable and recyclable products and packaging.
I still wish we could set up a system where package delivery came with up “pickup empties” option, like milk deliveries use to have.

You bring me a new box, I give you some empty boxes!

Ļoti sakarīga saruna. Esmu jau teikusi, ka, lai gan tā laika deputāti ir atbildīgi par oligarhu nodarījumiem, jo tos atļāva un veicināja, man daudzu no viņiem trūkst. Viņiem bija intelekts un iejūtība, un plašāka rūpe par Latviju, nevis 3 vērtības - es, mans, pats. www.lsm.lv/raksts/dzive...

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Who would have thought that the way to keep Russian imperialism at bay was to maximise spending on gigantomaniac infrastructure projects!
This is THE chance for Finland and Sweden to build a bridge between Vaasa and Umeå too. Swedes just got to see and seize the opportunity, Finland has been dreaming of this for a long time… 😁 we’ll easily fulfil the 5 percent spending goal.
Italy’s grand plan to meet NATO target: A €13.5B bridge to Sicily
Meloni’s deputy prime ministers are keen to class the bridge as a NATO-related project. But does it really mesh with Europe’s military goals?

All these people, especially the children, should have been resting in their beds this Saturday evening. But Russia wants them to suffer.

I rarely go to shelters, and I was shocked by how many people came to hide tonight.

Using defence spending for economic objectives would be a costly mistake. Politicians hope that it might counter the effects of deindustrialisation, but they are likely to be disappointed https://econ.trib.al/IM8UwxM

4/ Ar Rēzekni būs ļoti interesanti, jo Bartaševičs nāca ar "gāzi grīdā" plānu. Šai vajadzētu būt ļoti smagai un ātrai sarunai par izlīdzināšanas fonda sadali (un FM uzraudzību). Rēzekniešus nevar sodīt par izvēlēm, bet diez vai rīdzinieki (un daži citi) par to vēlas maksāt.
