Japan's reconstruction prioritized economic growth and rapid infrastructure, but Ukraine must balance rebuilding with preserving its identity against erasure. Speed shouldn't come at the cost of cultural memory or democratic integrity. #UkraineRecovery #LessonsFromHistory

The sinking of the Vasa is not simply a historical accident—it is a textbook case of boundary failure under institutional rigidity. The ship’s physical geometry (G) could not support its imposed structure, but the governing boundary (B)—the authority of the crown—overrode corrective feedback. This created a system with low elasticity (μ) and high apparent resilience (R_B), masking a critical instability. When the first environmental stress (Ξ)—a gust of wind—arrived, the system had no capacity to damp or adapt. The result was a brittle rupture: immediate collapse following a period of false persistence. The Vasa demonstrates that systems do not fail gradually when boundaries are rigid—they fail suddenly, at the exact moment reality is no longer negotiable.

Undoubtedly works given the post-war baby boom. Still… chilling and crass to say the least… and peeps were okay with that at the time? Shows you how pernicious propaganda (domestic and foreign, both) can be. We’ve learned nothing!

Shake Hands With the Devil isn’t just history—it’s a lesson. It asks how we can stop such horrors from happening again. Powerful and painful.

Once France had been conquered by Nazi Germany, Hitler, like Putin, called Churchill an obstacle to peace.

Giving parts of Ukraine (which aren’t ours to give anyway) to russia will make the US and the world _less_ safe, not more safe.

There is no appeasing putin in any way that will make him less likely to invade more places.

July 2019

#Trump said talks about a "very substantial" trade deal with the UK were under way.

He said a bilateral post-Brexit deal would lead to a "three to four, five times" increase in current trade

After a phone call with Boris Johnson Trump said the new prime minister would be "great for the UK" adding US-UK trade had previously been "impeded" by Britain's membership of the EU.

There was no deal, and Johnson was not great for the UK.

Fascinating new research by Cage and Piketty reveals working class voters lurching to the right is not inevitable. Lots of findings are resonant here for Canada too (the left has not offered enough for rural working class, but can do so).

I wonder if Victorian metallurgists felt the way many of us data folk do today?

Surely a few people must have been saying "look, I know lead is super easy to work with, and makes plumbing a doddle, but, uhh, its poisonous. This isn't going to end well..."
