Trump thought he could control the war in Iran. Three weeks in, it’s clear he can’t. Allies have their own agendas, the objectives are unclear, and the political pressure is mounting. History tells us what happens when leaders walk into traps they cannot escape. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-escalation-trap-lbj-vietnam

@Wen this was the Facebook war that Zuckerberg caused, one of the earliest interventions of social media algorithmic warfare, this set the precedent for the attacks on Scottish referendum, the 2015 UK elections, 2016 Brexit referendum and the 2016 US elections, plus countless other attacks on democratic processes around the world ever since...
@friendslive Thank you 🙂 My allotment is very naturalistic, I don`t like regimented flower borders. I have a mix of native and near-native wildflowers, many fruit trees and bushes and some vegetables. I also have 4 ponds. I love wildlife and want to attract as many as I can.
@MyWildlifeAllotment You got my vote! Love the informality of your garden!

If you live in the UK you can vote for my wildlife and climate-change allotment garden in a big BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine garden competition which wants to find the best garden out of 20 past winners (I am Nadine Mitschunas, Judge`s Choice Winner 2021):

My allotment is full of flowers, fruit and veg and a happy place not just for me but all the wildlife as well. 🦋 🐝 🕷️

Jeg fik sørme installeret Linux Ubuntu på min Lenovo! Det kunne - med noget bøvl - installeres sideløbende med Windows! Det gjorde det muligt at komme igang med det samme. Også før jeg følte mig helt sikker på at skiftet kommer til at fungere..

Umiddelbart ser det ud til at kunne det, jeg har brug for. Det er samtidig pænt og nemt at bruge so far. Det skal man ikke lade sig skræmme af!

Nu glæder jeg mig til at teste det til stort og småt..
