IR theory, at least when I was in grad school, did not pay enough attention to leader *personal* interest as opposed to national interest in either the realist sense or domestic politics sense.

Avery Trufelman and I recently recorded a pod on Voltaire's 1736 poem "Man of the World," where he spiritedly defends cosmopolitanism against the conservatives of his day. Hard to do this without sound like a chauvinist, but his wit makes it delightful. articlesofinterest.substack.com/podcast

Zelensky: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner. Morgan: You think you're losing America? Zelensky: Yeah, but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni tells the Senate: Trump’s diesel deal with Putin “legitimises Moscow while it bombs Ukraine”. “The surge in fuel prices is due primarily to the war in Iran, not the conflict in Ukraine.”

These fragments from a Roman villa in Spain are not from a mosaic but from a fresco. If you look closely you’ll see a grid of lines, many following the contour of the figures, much as tesserae do on mosaics. This trompe-l’oeil technique simulates mosaics. 1/ 🏺 1st-2nd c. Museo de Málaga 📸 me

Her right hand carries a basket laden with fruit, which look like giant globes of grapes. Grapevine leaves appear in the background. A Dionysian scene.
