Smith points out that it's interesting that the definition of 'The West' is now just everyone opposed to Russia. Which I don’t even think is incorrect.

Perhaps the whole argument over how quickly Europe should stop buying gas from Russia will be rendered moot.

Although there was some good news out of SF today.
If they're going to keep packing sensors into phones and watches, I could really go for a CO2 sensor.

Musk's statements of freedom of speech don't seem particularly nuanced, but it's probably not a tactically good idea to attack him over it right now. It's super hard to rein in progressive voices on Twitter who are doing things that are tactically inadvisable.
• Thread with details of the Twitter purchase agreement. Most interesting part is that Musk can't pull out just because users all hate him.
• Short thread of careful parsing of the discussion of nuclear war by the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
