Zelensky shouldn't even entertain holding elections now. They won't happen because Russia won't agree to a 60-day ceasefire. Besides, it's not up to the US or Russia, two flawed and authoritarian circuses, to tell Ukraine when to hold elections

And the reality is that while of course Russia contributes to the world's oil markets... the actual reason diesel is so high is because some numbnutted egghead went and fucked with Iran without having a plan in place to control the Strait of Hormuz! Russia a very minor part of that problem.

2/ Here’s an excerpt from a feature on our editor-in-chief for the Loeb Awards program, written by senior editor @nickvarchaver.bsky.social. Read the full feature: propub.li/4yhIlqT
Steve’s level of enthusiasm for his reporters’ stories is such that he can seem on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Occasionally, it’s true, all that enthusiasm is almost more than he can contain. He embraces his reporters’ ideas, but he’s also got a torrent of his own. It would be an exaggeration — but only a modest one — to say Steve regularly tries to assign a reporter a new idea only days after he approved the last one. 

His excitement obscures his relentlessness. At The Oregonian, he guided a project on the ravages of methamphetamine that helped change national drug policy. “So many times it seemed like I had finished the reporting,” recalled Steve Suo, lead reporter on the project (and now an editor at ProPublica). “I’d been to Washington, Canada, India, and he would say, ‘We are partway there.’”

Steve never gives up on a story, said ProPublica veteran Jesse Eisinger, and his ambition “slips the bounds of imagination (in a good way). When he’s asked, ‘What’s the maximum story?’ he likes to say that ‘it’s a story that we cannot envision yet.’ That’s an extraordinary vision.”
