Interesting piece on minor players in the region. The role Azerbaijan (and Armenia, and Georgia) might end up playing in the balance between Iran, Russia, and the Middle East is up for geopolitical negotiation. The fact that they're realigning under relative US indifference is troubling.

Azerbaijan warns against security focus in postwar Gaza | The Jerusalem Post
For Azerbaijan, the stakes extend beyond Gaza, as it positions itself at the center of a geopolitical contest that stretches from Israel and Turkey through Iran, Russia, and the South Caucasus.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

Meanwhile in Russia… “A teenager had his skull fractured by a xylophone at a patriotic camp on Sakhalin.” That has got to be a brand new sentence.

I don't expect pop music to do geopolitics well by any means, but just stating that Iran is "so far away" always struck me as a shallow analysis. Do better, Flock of Seagulls.

Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:

If I'd told you before the season that only three teams from the Atlantic would be above the playoff line a month in you probably wouldn't have believed me. If I'd told you _which_ three teams you would have politely inquired about my medication and been right to do so.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

By my count, the Flames have been outscored 13-2 in the third so far this year. I suspect letting in ~2 goals per game in the last period may, in fact, be a very serious problem.

Current pet peeve: autism was not "discovered". Autism was first DESCRIBED (or, if you prefer, differentiated) in the early 20th century and its description has been refined over time. Regardless. No "discovery".
