To our Congresspeople – what did you do yesterday to move the world forward?
A: You passed the budget. And that’s gigantic. Thank you.
‘Now, what are you doing today to move the world forward?
“We’re on our way to fame, fortune and a world that’s a better place for all.”
The Brain of Pinky and The Brain
We definitely have the opportunity to do so in our grasp.
That’s funny, good job.
The same thing they have been doing for the last 65 years, making sure they get re-elected.
Also, they are trying to help avert your definition of utopia: Nuclear annihilation.
"last 65 years?" Politicians have been focused on that for the last 10,000 years. Probably longer.
I think that figure of the last 65 years comes from the atrophied brain of a nasty old man suffering from dementia.
I believe, at least for the Senate, the answer is "our weekly long weekend".
Russia is clearly struggling to build up for another assault. But it looks like they don't have the reserves or the logistics infrastructure to do so. The fact that the 40 mile convoy dispersed into the woods means they have no way to move those vehicles and they were getting hammered from the air.
Keep in mind those maps showing what Russia controls are inaccurate. Mostly in those areas Russia controls the main roads and the center of some cities. The majority of that space remains contested by insurgents and the roads themselves remain dangerous.
I think the war could go either way as of now, which is an amazing accomplishment by Ukraine. But it means we need to keep doing everything we can, and looking for additional actions by which we can help.
Every day their economy worsens as their brain drain accelerates. Every day their military uses up more and more of their supplies & reserves. They talk about Russia becoming another Iran or North Korea but those countries have a functioning economy and a well stocked military. Russia will soon have neither.
It's incumbent on our government to continue doing everything it can to help. We're near the tipping point, if we do everything.
Very interesting opinion piece, or rant if you want to call it, by Jonathan Pie about the difficulties in getting at all the billions in dirty Russian money in London and the problem it presents. Well worth a watch.
Opinion | How Putin Weaponized London’s Greed – The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Unfortunately, it sounds like Putin and Lukashenko had a heart-to-heart yesterday and agreed that Russia would false-flag bomb a Belarusan town to give an excuse to engage the Belarusan army in the war. Reports of air strikes in the west of Ukraine and an expected 9pm local time incursion from Belarus.
Hold the Latte.
Starbucks workers are on strike today. At issue: wages, hours, worker safety.
They’re picketing at the East Colfax store.
Makes me glad I learned to make my own frozen whipped coffee.
