I wonder if you could include a link to the soundtrack or add a sound clip. I would love to hear all these wonderful songs you highlight. Might increase your likes and forwards if the sound was easy to access.
Just a thought.

Greetings from Kyiv.

I came to the railway station to visit an exhibition — and instead saw this:
a concert by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

Wow. I want you to hear this.

工合

(historical) short for 工業合作社／工业合作社 (gōngyè hézuòshè, “Chinese Industrial Cooperatives”)

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

Great to see you there, and thanks for signing my copy of one of your earlier books 'Military Orientalism'.

From an 'oriental' militaristic polychromatic perspective though
1. What's a political economic assessment of tying UK to the special relationship - who will run out of weapons or funding...

And military officers too, no?

At first, I thought you would be referring to military targets. And though you don't venture where there be dragons, I think the analysis still has merit for military targets.

Is there a gendered aspect to the tyranny of targets? A la 'Chalice and the Blade'?

The tyranny of targets by @timharford.ft.com

and military officers too?

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

We depend on ecological security for our survival. Not the other way around.

This UK Government public assessment of 'Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecological Collapse & National Security' is sobering. Like all assessments this public version is a median. We have agency to affect that assessment. To push it much higher...

Happy Wildlife Day from my garden. Wildlife is so resilient. If we give it a fair chance. Great to see the rights of nature progressing. We must continue to partner with nature. It underpins our survival.

Middle East turmoil pushes up farm inputs and grain prices - Farmers Weekly Global commodity markets have spiked in response to attacks across the Middle East, with oil refineries and shipping vessels targeted by drone strikes.
