Went to watch Odyssey. Received a message from wife that my daughter is asking where is daddy and wants to come and pick me up. Went home at midnight being greeted by the dog who refuses to sleep until I’m at home. Absolute cinema

By early 2026 China stockpiled ~1.4 billion barrels of oil (as preparation for US trying to cut their supplies). This gives China #25-35 position on the list of countries with largest proven (geological) oil reserves.

China might invade Taiwan - 2017: unacceptable, outrageous, this would mean the end of the world order. Must be stopped at any cost China might invade Taiwan - 2027: isn’t it nice they try to minimize casualties? Good to see some countries still have good manners. Hope they continue selling chips…

Does anybody still remember the headlines from 2025 December? “There's a 'super glut' of oil coming in 2026 on weak demand and booming supply, top commodities firm says”

1) USA wants rare earth metals so bad that is even willing to become a grave robber in Ukraine 2) Vietnam is the world’s second biggest rare earth metal producer after China 3) USA puts a 46% tariff on all imports including rare earth metals from Vietnam WHY??

“…true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. "Necessitous men are not free men." People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” - Roosewelt 1944. Still actual today and social media puts this “stuff” on steroid.

#DOGE - “The Doge of Venice acted as both the head of state and head of the Venetian oligarchy” (Wikipedia - Doge of Venice) - can you imagine a better definition?

Trump was almost impeached as a result of a Ukrainian-born expert reporting what he said to Zelensky in 2019. Shocking how few articles discuss he might just simply hate him and Ukrainians as a result of this.

It will be very interesting to see how Trump wants to be friends with Putin, make a peace AND still prevent Russia from selling gas to Europe. Maybe by giving as much Ukrainian land as Russia wants..?

History teaches us that human progress is cyclic. In Europe Roman civilization was an absolute high point. It started with kingdom, then came democracy, then a long authoritarian regime. After its collapse its achievements were not continued but a long dark age followed with religious oppression.

~1 trillion tonnes of CO2 emissions since 1992 & the inception of the UNFCCC (Rio Earth Summit). ~1/3 trillion tonnes since Paris. As we approach 2025 we’re still acting as if we’ve decades to play with. The “not doable” of yesterday is now essential. We urgently need to escape delay & delusion.

Posts about inmates of #sednaya prison released after decades circulating and people are rightfully horrified about the brutality of the Syrian dictatorship. As a context some names Trump pardoned 4 years ago.There will be new pardons again soon. For people serving 30 years for marijuana possession…
