The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

@mauskopf We hear you Mr Mouse head. The question is do you want to be the head mouse fighting/(out innovating) insurance companies (cats that want to eat you) lol
The hardest problems are rarely solved by adding more complexity to the solution -- they are solved by reframing the question until a simpler, clearer answer reveals itself.

The US is on a steep decline, ranking below 120th of countries in 2025.
In 2015, we were ranked in the top 15.

Surprised it took them so long. That’s literally on their doorstep, vs the targets they have been hitting a thousands of miles into Russia. #SlavaUkraïni
Overnight, Ukrainian mid-range attack drones swarmed and struck the Russian-occupied Crimean Titan chemical plant in Armyansk, a key producer of Titanium oxide and nitrate (explosive) products.
Seen here, onboard footage as multiple Ukrainian attack drones slam into the plant.
Ukraine’s middle-strike drone campaign continues to devastate Russia’s rear. Among recent targets:
•S-400 battery, 9K33 Osa and Pantsir-S1 air defense systems
•A base belonging to the “Terek” brigade
•Rail infrastructure, including rail cars and locomotives
•Electricity infrastructure
•Road logistics
Strikes will continue and intensify.
Kasparov: Putin’s state is a mafia estate. The war was profitable for elites, but no longer.
Every refinery, oil terminal, and military plant hit by Ukraine is owned by someone, and those people are now losing billions, not just the state. 1/
On this day in 1794 the French Republic guillotined Antoine Lavoisier. He had named oxygen, formulated the law of conservation of mass and founded modern chemistry.
Appeals were rejected with the line "the Republic has no need of scientists."
The next day Lagrange said: "It took only a moment to cause this head to fall, and a hundred years will not suffice to produce its like."
Today is the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism. The day when all of Europe marks the end of the most terrible war of the 20th century. A war after which there should have been only genuine peace. That was the dream back then, when the guns of World War II began to fall silent.
That war turned our land into a battlefield of brutal fighting, abuse in occupied territory, and the mass destruction of people and life. The losses of the Ukrainian people were among the greatest in World War II. And the contribution of Ukrainians to the defeat of the Nazis was also among the greatest. Millions of Ukrainians, serving in various armies of the Anti-Hitler Coalition states, fought against Nazism. Millions of Ukrainians were among the victors, having done everything in their power to ensure that absolute evil was defeated.
Unfortunately, 81 years later, we are once again forced to stop evil – evil that is just as absolute. Evil that brings nothing but ruins and abuse. And evil based on a similar ideology of enmity. An updated version of Nazism, marked: made in Russia.
Today, such Russian aggression can and must be defeated by the united free world. And I am grateful to everyone who helps us defend life. I am grateful to everyone who is not allowing this Russian regime to dictate to the world what comes next. Defending people’s lives and the freedom of nations from Putin is an absolutely dignified way to honor the memory of those who did not allow Hitler to subjugate Europe and the world.
Eternal gratitude to all who fought against Nazism and liberated people! Blessed memory to all innocent victims of World War II! Glory to every defender of life! Glory to Ukraine!

🎯 I’ve referred to Ukraine, and President Zelenskyy, as leader of the free world for a while now. Not only because they’re fighting the authoritarian enemy NATO was created to fight, but leading by example on the values of freedom, human life, and democracy. Once it was America.
Kasparov: Wars end when the cause that produced them is removed. In Ukraine, that cause is Putin’s regime and the imperial policy of Putin’s Russia.
As long as that regime survives, the war will not end. That is the whole answer. 1/
