Visited a nice conference out of nowhere in The Lowy International School, Tel Aviv University of Tel Aviv University on the Russian-Ukrainian war. All six hours are available online now. international.m.tau.ac.il/One%20Year%20t… #RussianUkrainianWar

Those motherfuckers #gosuslugi

A seemingly innocent email send out in Russia makes it impossible to negotiate with them on Ukraine. medium.com/@mikhailgrozov… #Russia #Ukraine #RussianUkrainianWar

Thanks to @Andrew_Ryvkin who got me thinking about why people still stay inside Russia even though the risks are running especially high at the moment. medium.com/@mikhailgrozov…

My three predictions on how the war in Ukrnaine will end: the mad neighbour, a Nobel Prize, and a new president medium.com/@mikhailgrozov… Shitstorm starts in 3, 2, 1...

Ukrainians: We want to discuss a serious political or cultural topic. Also Ukrainians: We don’t want to hear you, and we’re right anyway because we’re being constantly bombed.

Summing up my experience of Israel. There’s something surreal and metaphysical working at the heart of a blooming Tel Aviv University having a baggage of my great grandfather and grandfather both killed as Jews. It’s just a pure miracle as if explaining the very existence of the state.

Missed Arestovich in Tel Aviv, but it seems I’m visiting Sam Altman’s event which is sort of nice.

This piece received a lot of flack. While it's framed problematically, I agree with its premise as a forecast for Ukraine. Could you provide a long-form counterargument to it? Eugene Finkel, Janusz Bugajski, Mattia Nelles, Giorgi Revishvili, Sławomir Dębski, Daniel Fried, Konstantin Eggert MBE

Ffs I want to interview Kolbasnikova, a Ukrainian and German citizen who just has been fined 900 euros for speaking in support of the Russian war in Ukraine.

Hi, Shayan Sardarizadeh. There was a press event recently at the White House with John Kirby, and supposedly Kimberly Halkett asked this question about ethnic Russian villages. It got millions of views, without anyone trying to explain what ‘ethnic Russian’ even means.

An interesting consequence of the proposed changes to Russia's penal law. Combatants driven to anger or grievance, i.e. by criticising the war, can kill any number of civilians without any danger of being prosecuted for this since it will be considered a 'moderate offense'.

My Israeli culinary exploits: vegan Chili as suggested by Jennifer Garner.

Breakfast yesterday. A 15-minute layered cake with chocolate topping, 5% yogurt, and a piece of pastry from a bakery.

I met some remarkable people at Tel Aviv University, but Roman Abramovich was the most unexpected among them. He has a nice building here.

Can someone recommend a book on #emotions? Among @KarlaMcLaren, Lisa Feldman Barrett fans, did those books help you? Something’s happening in my life, and I need to sort it out.
