Reading about PRC President Xi Jinping's speech vowing to realize his 'one China' plan - 'The reunification of our motherland, a trend of the times, is unstoppable' - brought this to my mind. Stay sane in 2026!
'The superior man brings the good things of others to completion and does not bring the bad things of others to completion. The inferior man does just the opposite.'
Confucius
'He who assists the ruler with Tao does not dominate the world with force.
The use of force usually brings requital.
Wherever armies are stationed, briers and thorns grow.'

Maria Popova @popovaprof.bsky.social explaining how current US(Russia) 'peace talks' lead to the peace of the graveyard for Ukraine and Ukrainians.
Honestly, I’m furious. Sandy Hook should have been the end of this. Yet on its anniversary more children are dead, injured, and traumatized. It is a horror that is entirely preventable. And we should prevent it. It is not impossible. No matter what the received wisdom has become.
Thanks, Ryan!
Excellent, can’t wait to watch/listen. Obviously I recommend it to you all.
A wide-ranging video podcast in which I answer questions about why & how we should argue, the importance of thinking clearly & academic freedom, what to think about historic, structural and global justice, who broke international order & how did we get here. Happy 10th Anniversary to the Lin Centre!
See you tonight!
If you missed last week’s "Climate at a Crossroads," the recordings are now up! Hosted by The Walrus, the Max Bell School and the Centre for MTD, expert panels examined how climate disinformation crosses borders and shapes global action.

'It shouldn't be so easy to nudge people toward what might be their own destruction.' Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents.
A very important message that everyone who assumes Ru victory needs to hear. But unfortunately Ru’s deluded fans and paid stooges in the West are so disconnected from reality they repeat that Ru has won already or will win tomorrow every day for 3.5yrs now.

This Fourth of July, remember Fritz Gerlich, who warned his fellow Germans of Hitler and the road to ruin, and who was shot and killed on the Night of the Long Knives, 30 June 1934, during a purge of critics of the Nazi regime.
Juneteenth is a celebration of Black resiliency and joy.
It’s also a day to think about systemic inequalities Black Americans face in criminal justice.
