What I find truly wild about this story is that, in the fifth year of the largest European war since World War II, so many people still seem to believe that an aggressor committing mass war crimes daily should, for some reason, enjoy calm and immunity from any retaliation, and that Ukraine potentially disrupting air traffic around Moscow is somehow completely wild.
Especially when, as the article itself makes clear, the idea obviously ruled out posing any direct threat to civilian aircraft and only envisaged setting conditions for rendering air traffic impossible for Moscow.
A strange development at city hall: a democratic politician has straight male staffers who watch sports instead of drag race. More on this investigation at 11.

There is no “fatigue” in CFB; it’s a manufactured zeitgeist authored by media and stakeholders pandering nostalgia. Demand, viewership and attendance does not show any indication of consumer decline.
A key stat that every environmentalist who is serious about solving climate change should know:
The US Navy has put into operation over 400 nuclear reactors without a single failure that resulted in any radioactive release.
That is equivalent to the entire total number of civilian reactors deployed worldwide, but the Navy’s reactors are literally deployed in BOATS IN THE WATER, that continually move, rock, get shot at, etc.
There are non-trivial engineering challenges, but the core reality is that safe, clean, abundant nuclear is a matter of political will, intelligence, and organizational culture.
Bulldozers have begun tearing up Big Bend National Park just a stone's throw from Santa Elena Canyon. DHS waived every environmental & cultural resource protection. No surveys have been done. We don't even know what kind of cultural history they are destroying. 📷Natalie Newman.
