A good counter to Owen Jones' latest hot take on Russia...
This is a poor take that suggests Owen Jones doesn't know much about Russia in the 1990s, including Russia-US or wider Russia-West relations in the 1990s. By giving only one part of the story, he is repeating the Russian political elite's self-serving line that it was all the West's fault. Long 🧵
The West helped create Vladimir Putin.
A senior Western diplomat warned in 1994 where capitalist 'shock therapy' would take Russia.
They ignored him - and ended his diplomatic career.

I will always remember fondly the student who finished an essay with the line "In conclusion, the early modern period marked a massive shit in European history."
my favourite typo is, & will always be, ‘the literary cannon’

We're definitely giving away more shots at this level, but otherwise this is a pretty typical set of stats for any Bromley win going back at least three seasons. 😘 #efl
stats from Huddersfield's game against newly-promoted Bromley today, Town on the right. Guess if they won. Guess if they even managed to avoid losing 2-1. Go on, guess

This feels like a much more likely "AI will kill us all" scenario than anything dreamt up by silicon valley. 💩
Hang on: the US nearly engaged in action against a Chinese ship over a false AI report?!
Exclusive: An AI-assisted intel report, circulated across the US military during the Iran war, nearly triggered an operation but was false, sources say. https://cnn.it/4y9MBJO
