I just want to put this out there now. I will repeat it a time or two in the near future: If Elon Musk actually does take control of Twitter, I will leave. I refuse to share space with his ilk.

Important reading series in Belarus. Brave individuals show support for their Ukrainian colleagues. An invitation-only meeting was held in an undisclosed city on an undisclosed day in Oct. 2022, where Andriy Bondarenko's Survivors' Syndrome was read and discussed.
Essential 30 mins. Timothy Snyder on blind spots leading to Russ. war against Ukr. 1st 5 minutes are concise overview of then (2017) American blindness, but next 25 minutes clarify much that we have mistaken about Ukraine-Russia-Germany over the decades. https://t.co/8M35RoA2dG
