A fun talk with @joesgreatbooks about George Orwell's Animal Farm. Enjoyed chatting with my good friend and thinking about some deep thoughts from a fairy tale (as Orwell calls it!).

Really sad to hear that Alasdair MacIntyre died. He was a great teacher, and I just wrote a piece on his thinking about war. RIP.
I was an undergraduate philosophy major at Notre Dame. Which meant I took a class from Alasdair Macintyre. I'm guessing this kind of thing will get me a blue tick without having to pay?

My friend @PhillipsPOBrien has helped me understand Russian weaknesses in its war with Ukraine, which this article supports. Clearly, the Trump Administration wants to support Russia rather than just end the war, espeically in light of these numbers:
