I like dirt under the nails, elbow grease, innovation and good hearted people. I fix broken things, including people. Row crops, orchards are my puzzle pieces. Foreign languages & affairs fascinate. Nerdy, friendly, curious.

Yandex cloud data centre in Sasovo hit by Ukrainian drones (OWA-UAV) overnight.
Strategic target likely with impacts much greater than an internet network disruption chart will suggest.
Trump isn’t the only one who loves data centres. Feel the warmth.

For our new film THE WORK IN PROGRESS, we spoke with people all across the country from different walks of life.
What did we find out?
Even when we ask ourselves the hard questions, we're not as divided as some would lead us to believe.

Have you guys noticed that Republicans who were a rubber stamp for Trump for the last decade are now suddenly pretending to be defenders of democracy?
Amazingly, Senator Thom Tillis is finding his courage right around the time his book tour is launched. How brave!

When leaving temporarily occupied territories, Ukrainians often have to pack only the essentials in a hurry—and under the watch of Russian troops.
Yet sometimes, they still manage to take something deeply meaningful with them.

We have a lesson in our foreign policy process class about lobbying and interest groups and present circumstances are challenging in that we try to teach how DC works for real but we also can't present students material that flat out says current US officials are crooks, even if true 🤷♂️
Guillfoyle was pretty clearly trading on her connection with Trump to solicit payments in order to help a Republican donor get the IRS to quash a tax dispute. Massively corrupt! We used to take this sort of shit seriously!

Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned.

An economics lesson for Tucker Carlson from Britain’s Jacob Rees-Mogg.
In reality, the war is what is currently keeping both the Russian economy and Putin’s power afloat.
Ending the war will trigger a "demilitarization shock" to Russia’s budget.
