In which Jacobsen paints a scenario of a bioengineered pneumonic plague escaping containment from a lab in Siberia. Stop me if you've heard this before. This is not a Sci-Fi scare novel. It's a thorough and wall researched work by a serious author. Highly recommended. Especially now.

Trump is on his back foot with the media boycott. Minimally, its return should contain some conditions. Mutual civility and respect would be a good start.

Fire 100%. Anybody who wants back in has to be *properly screened, vetted, and interviewed. Highly doubt any Trump appointees will pass reinspection, though.

Fact checking Trump's burtations at this point is a redundancy. Not sure we need in depth NYT analysis the next time he declares we're going to mine Pluto next year.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.
