John le Carré, The Art of Fiction No. 149
“The one thing you can bet is that spying is never over. Spying is like the wiring in this building: It's just a question of who takes it over and switches on the lights. It will go on and on and on.”
I’m thankful for the new followers, but the joy can’t compare to what I felt when @parisreview.bsky.social reposted an off-hand comment I made about Geoff Dyer. Their interview with John Le Carré, published when I was in college, helped spur an early interest in counterintelligence.

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

“Day 12 of the Golden Age of America:
Trump slapped 25% tariffs on Mexico & Canada (because who needs allies?) and slashed federal regulations like a reality show host cutting contestants. Get ready for the next EPA Superfund sites, just without an EPA and/or funding…

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Because they’re Black, they must be looting? This isn’t an honest mistake.
Spread truth, not lies: These folks weren’t looters. This footage is from KTLA, where the homeowner explained that her brothers & friends were helping her move belongings out of her burned house.

We need major overhauling, including going to publicly funded elections with strict safeguards and spending caps geared to the level of the position be sought. Also, term limits and no professional politicians.

📍 Ukraine asked the West to arm 10 brigades of the Armed Forces, but the U.S. and the EU equipped only 2.5 brigades.
📍 The key problem is not a lack of soldiers but a lack of weapons and equipment for them.
