Andrew S. Weiss — Accidental Czar: The Life and Lies of Vladimir Putin - with Amb. Marie Yovanovitch

Politics and Prose

Nov 21, 2022

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CEOpWeipv4

In Accidental Czar, Andrew S. Weiss, a former White House Russia expert, and Brian "Box" Brown show how Putin has successfully cast himself as a cunning, larger-than-life political mastermind--and how the rest of the world has played into the Kremlin's hands by treating him as one. They shatter all of these myths and expose the man behind the façade.

Andrew S. Weiss served in various policy roles at the National Security Council, the State Department and Pentagon during both Democratic and Republican administrations. He is currently the James Family Chair and Vice President for Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace where he oversees research on Russia, Ukraine, and the wider region. Weiss is in conversation with Amb. Marie Yovanovitch. Amb. Yovanovitch served as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine (2016-2019), the Republic of Armenia (2008-2011), and the Kyrgyz Republic (2005-2008) during the course of her 34 year career in the Foreign Service.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Elon Musk's FashFone™ by PhoneX"

from DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock -

"Elon Musk's FashFone™ by PhoneX"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3548

After Elon Musk bought Twitter, declared it a "free speech zone", 
started letting all the fascists back in and shutting down the Left, 
there was some understandable online rioting this week, and the 
predictable calls from America's boutique anarchist media to join an 
exodus to Mastodon. Oh, how I laughed.

So, late last week, Apple and Google finally got off their goddamn 
duffs and declared that Twitter would be shut out of the Google Play 
and Apple App stores if the enabling of fascist hate speech and 
harassment was allowed to continue. Musk, at his very Muskmost, 
announced that he would develop his own brand of smartphone whose App 
Shoppe would allow Twitter.

...which basically leaves Gab and Parler in a spot, when you think 
about it. Now, you don't have to go to some seedy, fringey fascist 
social-media site to spew your shit; you can just go to Twitter.

Sometimes these gags draw themselves.
