@Telvannichad @IAMAL_PHARIUS we've made it through worse

while I understand your perspectives, there's a self-fulfilling prophecy in ascribing demi-god powers to elite manipulation - doesn't take much history to show how out of control and riddled with blowback these tactics are

keep an eye on the players but don't fall for their own delusions of grandeur.

@IAMAL_PHARIUS maybe they can tear Europe apart with information warfare, but the whole thing is a mirage for the email class - the more you destabilise the less room there is for middlebrow compliance

@IAMAL_PHARIUS they're gonna pay the EU in dollars to destabilise themselves so that the dollar gets stronger

different problem, same hammer

@IAMAL_PHARIUS if (when) the turn on the taps for Nordstream 2, how does the US credibly destabilise Europe?

this Nordstream 2 jam feels like Scholz throwing Biden a bone, give it a week for everything to simmer down and they'll turn on the taps

@NunyaBidness this has little to do with the fact that the fed is fucked, they're just using as an excuse to not raise rates

When I mention that Maisie (my #servicedog) does things that she wasn't necessarily trained to do and people ask for examples I can't always think of one as they're just part of life. But she JUST did something that I decided to share before it blends into the background with all the others.

Last night I lost my tweezers. Pete and I looked everywhere (except wherever they were obviously) and couldn't find them so we gave up. Since Maisie doesn't know the word I didn't bother to ask her to find them. However as I sit here having my coffee she came proudly up to me doing her butt-wiggle, tweezers in her mouth and ready to drop into my hand.

Yeah, it's stuff like that. Her training is extensive and targeted to my needs, but these are the things that, to me, show her true intelligence.

For all his many flaws, I'm behind Macron all the way rn
