Reading through the news with a cuppa is often described as a most enjoyable moment.
But then , not always. Going through this morning brings up how the US is sending nukes to the
UK, a reversal of a 2008 decision that had removed them. At the behest of the US, France and
the UK were working on extending France's nuclear deterrence to Europe more broadly, but
then they do this. What!!??
Or again, Harvard is being heard in court today with all cherished arguments about academic
freedom in their arsenal. I would hate to be the judge on this one: one quarter of Harvard's
undergraduate population is Jewish - the most glaring instance of passe-droit in all American
society - and they are now facing a battle with the Administration for having allowed a
competing view on Israel on the campus. Ugly piece of business...
Last but not least, Russian is mass producing Shahed drones to the point they may be
able to use 2000 a day in Ukraine. It will be recalled this drone was reversed-engineered
by Iran from an American drone used against them. Adding to the picture, Canada may be
one of the countries from which parts for it are sourced.
Am I living in a bubble of innocence giving me a free life at the expense of all this; or are there
issues here. I need to step back and re-center my thinking!
It is very quiet this morning, the construction work next door on an extension to the Home
has stopped because it is the two-week workers' vacation in Quebec. Codemy is running
a how-to to build a Space Invaders game. Might just go with that for the next few days...
