Biggest problem with this Guardian piece and others promoting the idea of ending mil support for UKR and pushing them to make a deal with Putin is the idea that the West (as represented by views of ppl arguing for this) somehow knows better than UKR what’s in their best interest

February called, and it wants its op-eds back. “Russia’s progress may be slowed, but it’s highly unlikely to be stopped…Encouraging the Ukrainians to continue, however just their cause, is merely making their country uninhabitable.” https://t.co/VfG3R4w0rV

Your mileage may vary but to me this seems like a very expected level of pettiness — if someone was constantly touting the virtues of centrist democrat substacks but never mentioned me, I'd be kinda pissed.

Elon Musk is apparently mad at Biden because he doesn't mention Tesla when talking about electric cars, reports @karaswisher, who knows Musk. If so, we're dealing with a level of pettiness here than we may not have anticipated:

WOW, this is a biggie.

Fun fact: if Congress hadn't extended copyrights in 1976 and 1998, the copyright to the first Star Trek episodes would be due to expire at the end of this year. The entire original series would have been in the public domain by 2026.

I want a browser feature that automatically checks "yes" to all those "accept cookies" dialog boxes websites are infested with now. But I guess maybe that would be illegal in Europe?

There’s probably some reason this is unworkable but it seems to me that universities themselves should be the ones making the loans, so they are the ones who shoulder the default risk.

Roe has largely forced Republicans to avoid articulating their base’s unpalatable views on abortion and let them focus on narrow restrictions.
As the courts change, that is changing.

The ads in Land Report magazine are amazing and definitely make a strong case for Georgeism.

Both sides of the political spectrum feel like they've been steadily losing ground for the last 10-20 years. Has it always been like this or is this new?

This is literally the opposite of what has happened, empirically speaking https://t.co/5EtBNseSGg
