I wrote “Tea in Crimea,” a thriller set in Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea: a.co/d/5dolvyS I should write more… I love novels, histories, graphic novels, comics, movies, photography, art and current events. I also dig things on two wheels.

Viktor Orban's defeat in Hungary's election will likely unlock the EU's 90 billion-euro loan for Ukraine and its EU membership bid, but that does not mean progress will be instantaneous or free of further obstacles.

So gross; right before Armistice Day. I’m glad it has been restored but after six back-and-forth removals and restorations all caused by a coordinated Russian campaign, it should be clear to companies like YouTube that certain accounts require human moderation.

Trump’s Ukraine game is clear: sell them out to Putin for rare earth elements. It’s dumb and short sighted and doesn’t consider that we’d also be selling out NATO, the EU and UK. It also ignores that Ukraine is fighting for its life as Russia’s aims are genocidal. He’s a lackey for tech bros.

The US dollar tumbling to a three-year low is the business, investment and financial worlds telling Trump the notion of replacing Powell is beyond fucking stupid. Powell has been a sober, steady hand during periods of crisis, and is a key reason why the US recovered so fast from Covid.

Richard Rothwell's portrait of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus, one of the creators of the genre of science fiction.
