I wish we had a way to acknowledge that we have zero effort being given to “grappling with important geopolitical dilemmas”. Let’s ask Trump, Xi, Putin, Burnham and Macron what geopolitical dilemma they’d like to work on together, shall we?

As if a grown man like Osoff cares about tween-level insults. The real damage here is the daily erosion of US credibility as the Republican party continues to allow itself to be led by this addled narcissist. Real shit is happening on the planet, and yet...

The UFC Freedom 250 event (yeah, that's what it's called) is unbelievable. Even after it happens, after I've seen the clips and see POTUS calling it the greatest fight in history, I still can't believe it. 🤯 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So, Trump-managed government agencies are negotiating with Trump on how many billions of dollars he will control for misdeeds he hasn’t proven in any court. Did I miss something?

It’s as if the Iran war was fought to sustain the Russian economy. Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine.

It's valuable for leading institutions to acknowledge that "trust is earned by doing what you say you’re going to do — and, ideally, doing it well,” instead of vague promises. The article reports a warning from the committee that Yale's fundamental commitments had become opaque. That's good.

Jokes aside, this is an incredibly important day for freedom and democracy and, most importantly, for basic common sense and human dignity, in the spirit of 1989.
