Fundamentally, we want to live meaningful lives, to make the world a better place. If nothing is really better or worse, nothing objectively worth doing, the only appropriate attitude is cynicism and depression.

If anyone had told me even ten years ago that British leftists, notably their church, the BBC, would be making excuses for neo-Nazis, and minimising their significance, I would not have believed it. We are in wholly new territory.

Asked why New Zealand does not suffer from the rage of older white men like in other western Anglo countries, PM Jacinda Adern replied, "Because we've never allowed Rupert Murdoch to set up a media outlet here." The guy has wreaked havoc on civil society in US.

A once quiet military base on Romania’s Black Sea coast is suddenly on the front line of NATO’s defense against Russia
Tweet card summary image

Those who say that Putin invaded Ukraine because he felt threatened by the West don't understand that Putin started the war precisely because he thought the West would do nothing. There was zero threat from the West

Question: After the war has been won, should #Ukraine stop using the Cyrillics and switch to the Latin alphabet? I know it’s not a burning issue at this point but it would symbolize where the Ukrainian nation wants to be — with the West. I ask this especially of our UKR friends.

The West sanctioned Russia (in yellow) vs the rest of the world didn’t sanction Russia. The #Dragonbear 🇨🇳🇷🇺, the BRICS (🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦), the African continent (many depend on 🇷🇺 commodities and security services), ASEAN, Eurasia, and Latin America still trade with Russia. #Velsig

I know we’re all still processing, but the way casual violence was normalized tonight by a collective national audience will have consequences that we can’t even fathom in the moment. #Oscars2022

Russia's goals in Ukraine as of now: > referendum in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and annexation by Russia; > complete destruction in large parts that makes 🇺🇦's Euro-Atlantic integration impossible; > perpetual presence of Russian troops in Ukraine; > partition of 🇺🇦 if possible.
