@grahamhelton.bsky.social Looked at your note about BGP routing activity in conjunction with Venezuela. Just a comment on long as-paths: longest matching prefix always wins, so if you can get a longer prefix route accepted, the as path length does not matter.
@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social Disheartened to see you appear to misrepresent what Medicare for All might entail, and then argue against your constructed straw man... Ref youtu.be/aTSUMD-VCqg?...
Well... I see there is an underlying assumption that the GOP has America and Americans at large's best interest at heart. I have come to realize that is a false assumption, and that the dismantling of the government as we knew it is part of the point.
In January 1963 the norwegian author Jens Bjørneboe wrote a poem with the translated title "Ten Commandments for a Young Man With Ambitions". A translation of this poem into English is well worth a read, at arneogtullen.blogspot.com/2010/09/jens.... Foresight to the present day from 60+ years ago.
Why not "both"?
In journalism it's important to reflect both sides,listen, understand nuance,be aware of your bias
It’s also important to call out facts that aren’t true
Trump suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia
That is not true.Facts matter.If you want to end a war,you need to face up to how it started
Only in America ... have the people accepted what is in essence a scheme with for-own-profit tax collectors which they voluntarily pay.
It's interesting and somewhat disheartening to see the DNS being made the scapegoat for what to me sounds like an incomplete specification of dependencies, e.g. do not proceed to stageN before this-and-that has successfully completed. But what do I know...
One might hope, but I'm not holding my breath...
Not everything you read or hear is true...
I guess we are seeing proof of the latter in real time as the GOP can't get their act together to pass a CR.
In an unrelated email discussion the now (in)famous Reagan quote about the terrifying statement "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help" came up. The GOP campaigns on this and that government does not work, and when elected to office promptly proceed to prove this point.
I heard a possible explanation: an interim director needs to be picked among those in the FBI which are already senate-confirmed. Kash isn't. But who knows, rules and norms are not worth much these days.
Two words: "proportional representation". Sadly has near-zero chance in the US, but it needs to be said nonetheless.
If you want to spin an excuse for this, based on old Christian tradition, this date is Saint Knut's Day, also referred to as the 20th day of Christmas and the definitive end of that celebration.
Trump's Cabinet appointments are shocking, but part of a plan. We should be wary of shock, which excuses inaction. We have to get through the surprise and the shock to see the design and the risk.

Um, not exactly. Biden has forever said "We are with you as long as it takes", which is ambiguous because "it" is undefined. I agree entirely with retired gen. Ben Hodges on this matter.
Not only that, but the failure to comprehend and clearly say that it is in the west's best interest that Ukraine wins, and act accordingly.
