I should write more…
I love novels, histories, graphic novels, comics, movies, photography, art and current events. I also dig things on two wheels.

A few years ago, I wrote a political thriller about Russia’s 2014 invasion and annexation of Crimea. It’s exciting, features compelling characters, and tells a larger truth about the region and its history. You can get it here:

Viktor Orban's defeat in Hungary's election will likely unlock the EU's 90 billion-euro loan for Ukraine and its EU membership bid, but that does not mean progress will be instantaneous or free of further obstacles.

So exciting. Giving off hopeful vibes like the Orange Revolution or the Euromaidan. The people have the power.
Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again.
Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

Wait, now the US and Israel are going to widen this insane, needless war by mobilizing Kurds so that they can inflame deep, historic ethnic divisions? Just *brilliant*… Tell me again how you don’t want another regional forever war.

She’s absolutely right:
Mexico President "Claudia Sheinbaum calls on the United Nations to step in to stop Trump.
She says Trump broke article 2 of the charter of the United Nations.

So gross; right before Armistice Day. I’m glad it has been restored but after six back-and-forth removals and restorations all caused by a coordinated Russian campaign, it should be clear to companies like YouTube that certain accounts require human moderation.

The nature of the mass reports' accusations, unrelated as they are to the channel's actual content, is a clear sign of a coordinated Russian operation, according to the project's deputy editor.
