Did Oleshky ever make it into international news at any point? Like, at least once or twice? I have to make it very clear to everyone who reads me: RUSSIANS ARE CURRENTLY STARVING PEOPLE TO DEATH in occupied Kherson Oblast, as in EVERYONE who is still left in Oleshky. And it's not on your news.

25 years ago the heroes aboard Flight 93 prevented terrorists from destroying the White House. Today the President of the US is destroying the White House and Republicans do nothing.

How American Media Is Gaslighting Europeans on Air Conditioning washingtonmonthly.com/2026/08/20/h... Exactly right, and sadly effective. I was shocked to hear some intelligent American friends repeating the same glib nonsense that “the French simply hate air conditioners” on my recent trip to DC.

How American Media Is Gaslighting Europeans on Air Conditioning

The continent is sweating not because of resistance to AC, but because of climate change, which the United States is largely culpable in.

It’s interesting how many people in the „abundance“ and tech circles are gleefully and aggressively attacking Europeans for being „backwards“ about air conditioning while avoiding ever discussing climate change. We simply did not need AC in Vienna 20 years ago. Seems like that‘s the real issue.

Every year this debate is always so surreal. Gringos debating with passion whether not having air conditioning makes Europe a superior or inferior civilisation, which I read from a series of air conditioned buildings

I struggle to understand the person who does not regard this spectacle with revulsion. Clearly, many such people exist. But it is a sort of block-headed nihilism (hedonism, really, I suppose) that I just cannot imagine holding with even the slightest shred of self-respect.

This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States.

The self-censoring nature of many of the most important facts about Trump's presidencies is a load-bearing necessity for his career. The median voter cannot and will not believe that he is as bad as he actually is. They invent a less bad version of him that they can then be persuaded to support.

This thread is exactly right. It will not be sufficient to beat Trump at the ballot box or wait for him to die, all the craven elites who decided to kowtow when democracy and decency were on the line need to be publicly disgraced and treated as pariahs. (My confidence in that happening is very low.)
