After the Russian missile strike on Sumy, Merz reiterated his readiness to hand over Taurus missiles to Ukraine after consultations with partners and called the attack on civilians a “serious war crime” and a “treacherous act, deliberate and targeted.”

“There were two waves of attacks, and the second one was when rescuers were worried about the victims,” Merz added.

“Our willingness to discuss with Putin is not interpreted as a serious proposal to establish peace, but as weakness."

30 years of craigslist, or, how did that happen?

Okay, I'm not even sure when I sent out the first email, since I never had any idea that my little effort would go anywhere.

Seems like a good idea to do now, as I'm in my sunset years, focused on geriatric matters including moisturizer and prunes.

The (short) video here is my best take at early history, setting the record straight, since there's a lot of misinformation out there.

Please humor me and take a look!

Folks who are new to protesting:

Never sign up for protests online. Never organize online. Just show up the day of with your sign, comfy clothes, and wont-cry-if-you-lose-it water bottle. If you've already signed up, don't do it again.

If you're worried, bring a minute flip phone and write your lawyer's number on your arm.

If you’d know a university degree is completely LLM-free, would you think more of it, less of it, or the same?

The influenza pandemic lasted 1918-1920, followed by the Roaring Twenties gilded age, then the Great Depression in 1929, and eventually WW2.

The COVID pandemic lasted 2020-2023, followed by a current new gilded age, and with this tariff war we face a stock market plummet and potential economic collapse, all while Israel bombs Gaza, Russia bombs Ukraine, and USA bombs Yemen and threatens to bomb Iran.

I wish history didn't have to so accurately repeat itself.

"Tariffs are a tool the president enjoys… He doesn’t have to go through Congress. He can exercise personal power.

"With tariffs, Trump can exercise a kind of corruption that the country hasn’t experienced in some 150 years—a kind of control that is ultimately incompatible with both democracy and prosperity."
