The question I’m putting to officials here in Munich and at the UN is, "Is there anything you *would* fight for?" The answers are depressing and reality is worse. A world of Chamberlains and Quislings and the only Churchill is leading Ukraine and being betrayed by his allies.

In case you are having a panic attack, I’ll tell you. Ukrainians won’t stop defending their country. They will put on a brave face trying to not let it show how shocked they are. But they will never forget how they were thrown under the bus for standing up to a war criminal. /1

Today marks the 211th anniversary of the birth of poet and artist Taras Shevchenko. Born a serf, he faced arrest and exile for his groundbreaking works of art that have inarguably shaped the modern Ukrainian identity. kyivindependent.com/taras-shevchen…

No. Hard though it is, we have to let go of the 'right stuff'. We will only settle the stars if going into space becomes routine, like riding a taxi. Katy Perry and her friends represent the best future of space travel. They're astronauts. We want it unremarkable.

Today I found and bought a first edition (1819) of John Ross's 'Voyage of Discovery' describing the search for the North-west passage. They describe snow algae (crimson cliffs) and meteoritic iron on ice. See the polar bear illustration! Incredible book.

Someone never spent time in the Eastern Bloc before the wall came down. This idea is only fun in a society where every other store is not like this.
