The russian plan to encircle Donbas is completely fucked. Ukrainians sent waves of ground drones into their positions and blew them all up. Totally ingenious

The 7/7 bombings in London rightfully outraged the world when Al-Qaeda terrorists blew up a London bus. The same thing just happened in this city in Europe.

Adult tonsilitis is ghastly. I've had it a couple times. But so, I'm told, is the corrective surgery. Get good medical advice. I still have my tonsils, and a lot of worry, but so far I prefer it this way. There are good antibiotics.

A federal judge ruled that the Trump admin violated her order prohibiting overcrowding at ICE's Baltimore holding room — the very facility I've been sounding the alarm on after we saw this terrible footage last year. The judge is right to threaten contempt — the abuses must end.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

EXCLUSIVE: For over two decades, the OSCE has sent a mission to observe every federal election in the US. But the regional security organization told DD that it hasn’t received an invitation from the Trump administration to observe the upcoming midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Exclusive: These international observers have monitored US elections for decades. This time, the Trump admin didn’t invite them

It’s the latest ominous sign that the U.S. is backsliding on democracy — and adds to concerns that the administration wants to undermine the vote.

Helen Garner on the cons and pros of being a writer. (From ‘On Turning Fifty’, from True Stories: Collected Short Non-Fiction)

and grim stubbornness required in order to keep going; the episodes of elation, the occasional sense of hitting your stride, or of being in tune with the force that creates the feeling that now you've got it, now you can't put a foot wrong then the guilt you feel, when your work's going well, that you are allowed to spend your days having this much fun and ultimately being paid for it, while others have jobs in offices or schools, and bosses, and laid-down work hours they have to stick to—then the arrival next morning at your desk, the dropping away of the floor from under your feet as you see the thinness of what yesterday seemed so rich and right; the picking up of the pen, the dogged keeping going-the sickly envy of people with jobs, because they have got bosses to tell them what to do next, and work hours that finish at a certain regular time so they can go home, and holidays, and secretaries, and superannuation-and they're allowed to ask for help; the pathetic pleas for encouragement you make, invariably to the wrong person—a child, a husband, a parent— someone who can't possibly know the right thing to say, or who is in the grip of some barely conscious hostility towards you that they can't help expressing at the most destructive possible moment; the hatred of your own name, because of its connection with this slogging labour and with the expectations which you have caused the outside world to have of you, and that you're afraid you'll never live up to; the despair of feeling trapped inside your own style.
