From the start, Vladimir Putin has made clear that this is a war of escalation. He threatens to be more destructive even if that means resorting to a nuclear weapon. The world must stand up to him. Our cover this week econ.st/3pvchPp
We are witnessing, literally watching live, Putin commit genocide on an industrial scale in Ukraine while the most powerful military alliance in history stands aside. It's impossible not to be emotional, but let us also be rational and focus our rage on the facts. 1/13
There is no waiting this out. This isn't chess; there's no draw, no stalemate. Either Putin destroys Ukraine and eventually hits NATO with an even greater catastrophe, or Putin falls in Russia. He cannot be stopped with weakness. 9/13
PS To all officials and media: STOP CALLING PUTIN 'PRESIDENT'! He's a dictator. Words have power. He does not deserve a democratic title. Fuck your style guide. "Russian dictator Vladimir Putin".
"The moment Putin loses his war chest, how is he going to pay for his military, for his police, for his propaganda?"
Russian chess grandmaster & dissident Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) tells @StigAbell that he's "astonished" by the united Western sanctions on Russia.
May we be smart enough to achieve all these “boring,” successful things that would actually make our cities a hell of a lot better for everyone.
(Actually that ain’t boring, that’s sexy AF) HT @Greenpeace
I met Putin in 1991. I've written about him for 2 decades. I sat in the room with him for 5 years during the Obama administration. Those who believe that Putin will stop undermining Ukrainian sovereignty & democracy with a non-expansion NATO "guarantee" don't know Putin.

Some highlights:
- would disrupt rain for BILLIONS of people, including India and South America
- more severe storms for northern hemisphere

- jeopardizes the Amazon
- could happen this decade
These days, I mostly manage other researchers (running a 400+ person think tank) but today spent most of my time reading and writing. To those who have such jobs & can pay rent, count your blessings. To read, think, and write as a profession is pretty awesome.

WATCH: The most amazing thing about this absolutely AMAZING car commercial, is that it doesn’t seem to realize how effectively it makes the point that cars are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn cars. HT @javiermalagon
It was hard to see Scott go, but stuff like this certainly helps.
I've been waiting for this collaboration for years. Ever since I saw Grant wearing a Wintersleep shirt. It's a great tribute to the album and to Scott.
