Nuts, I mistyped 1...Rxd8. Sigh.

In these situations I _always_ have to calculate both rook moves; one of them is usually ineffective. I don't have a good intuition (yet) of which will likely be best. Also I think you meant 2...Nf2 instead of Nf7.

It is worthwhile reading the full letter. It is a very good refresher for how deeply DT is in bed with Putin and how far down into the muck DT has pulled US foreign policy. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-10...

Now DT is cutting deals with Putin -- who is backing Iran -- and blaming Ukraine's Zelensky for the high diesel prices actually caused by the closures of tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. 🧵

HCR reminds us of Paul Manafort, the Russian agent working on DTs first presidential campaign. And that DT rolled out the red carpet for a Putin visit in Alaska in August 2025. 🧵

"... the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia agreed to secure Ukraine’s borders. In the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, they agreed they would not use military force or economic coercion against Ukraine." 🧵

Under DT, the US has fallen from this high point: "After the Soviet Union crumbled in 1991, Ukraine had the third-largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. In exchange for Ukraine’s giving up those weapons, ..." 🧵

"So now, after more than a decade of pretending [otherwise] ... Trump is openly backing Russia’s president Vladimir Putin." The opener to the Oct 10 letter from HCR, which recalls how DT came under the sway of Putin's Russia. An important read. 🧵 heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-10...

Hello new followers! I've removed the paywall from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you probably won't... tomcox.substack.com/p/the-villag...

The Village Message Board
My debut novel Villager is the psychedelic story of almost two centuries of life in a moorland village, linked together by art (a painting and a lost folk LP, particularly), ghosts and social history.

Going on record to say that for any company in America given the choice between 1. AI productivity gains mean our 10,000 employees can work 4 days a week. 2. AI productivity gains mean we can layoff 2,000 employees and have 8,000 people work 5 days a week. None will choose option (1).

There is no immediate checkmate in that line. That’s why Qxh6 must be White’s first move, if they want to deliver mate on their next move. A first move of Rxh6 allow white to delay mate beyond move 2 and perhaps escape entirely.

After Rxh6+ what if Kg8 instead of gxh6 ??

I recently had my umpteenth colonoscopy. When I came out of anesthesia, I remember having an active, engaged conversation with the doc. I'm sure important information was conveyed, but I can remember none of the substance. Recommend having having someone with you who is taking notes. :-/

I don't really know what is meant, specifically, by "share" and "link" here. If I put a URL in a YouTube comment, is that considered a shared link? Here is what the "Learn more ..." link gives you.
Explainer for the setting; quoting:

By default, eligible users who open the links you share can reply to you directly on YouTube. You can change this anytime by adjusting your privacy settings.

To share without connecting on all videos, modify your "channel visibility for shared links" settings within your account.

From your account settings

1. Open your privacy settings.

2. Turn off channel visibility for shared links.

Note: On the share panel, you will see your channel name shown at the top when your channel visibility is turned on.
