Apparently the cyber partisans are helping Ukraine against Russia. I’m not surprised, but I am skeptical of just how much help they can be.

Geneva (“ideal operating environment” for spies) has become a major European hub of undercover government activity, with “espionage levels high and continuously rising”. The number of Russian intelligence officers in the country is “particularly high”. newsd.admin.ch/newsd/message/…

Undercover police officers are often easy to spot if you know what to look for. All of these physical signs are good to take note of, but there's more. Small 🧵

This is incredible. A centralized yield service, CoinFLEX, gave a $47m uncollateralized loan to someone who can't pay it right now. To fund other customers' withdrawals, they are now turning his debt into a token and selling it to people, offering 20% APY on it. Amazingly degen.

That's right. I mean, why be a drag queen when you could be a policeman? Or a construction worker? How about a soldier? Or a biker? Or a cowboy? Or even a Native chief?

Andrew Sullivan @sullydish

"The idea that a drag queen — rather than, say, a firefighter or a pilot or a tennis player — is somehow an ideal role model for young gay children is, in its misguided progressivism, actually regressive." https://t.co/3Z9HJHRk5v

Young man, are you listening to me?

I said, young man, what do you want to be?

I said, young man, you can make real your dreams

But you've got to know this one thing

No man, does it all by himself

I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf

And just go there, to the *dance*
