First Day at New Job
Copenhagen will be the workplace from now on.

Putin’s hubris grows larger. Does Kremlin really think it can win a nuclear war with America?

Here we go again. 💤💤

The Turkish autocrat is now doing his best to find favours in return for his vote on Swedish NATO membership. Now Erdoğan wants Peter Hultqvist to resign from his post as defence minister for something he said ten years ago.
He’s wrong. Putin’s Russia must be humiliated in Ukraine.
The Pope has fuel new speculation on future of pontificate, AP News reports. I think it’s absurd to expect a ruler to stay in their job until they die.
“Backed by the Kremlin, the shadowy network known as the Wagner Group is getting rich in Sudan while helping the military to crush a democracy movement,” the New York Times writes.
Today, Russia has launched airstrikes into Kyiv for the first time in five weeks. 😡


This evening, Boris Johnson won a no-confidence vote among Conservative MPs by 211 to 148. In other words, 40% of his own MPs fail to back him.

I normally keep up with the news, but in the past week, with a new job, I don’t have the energy. My online diary will suffer. Not that I think anyone will care that much, but I thought it would be nice to tell my readers that blogging will continue at snail pace this summer.
The new job is interesting, but there’s so much to learn. Thank God he gave us Shabbat. Now—rest. And beer!
I’m truly exhausted these days. The new job drains me—but it’s fun! My life online suffers, though. But considering what’s in the news at the moment, it feels good to be detached. In Sweden, one Marxist MP keeps playing with a hung parliament, jeopardising the NATO membership bid. In Ukraine, Putin keeps killing innocent people who have never done anything wrong against Russia. Africa is starving as a result of Putin halting Ukrainian exports. And, yes, inflation is rampant all over. We’re doomed!

I spent the past weekend in Stockholm, the city that was my home for most of by youth. Every visit takes me back to what seem a past life. I can’t say that I miss the city much, but it’s breathtakingly beautiful in the summer months.

A gunman opened fire at a gay club in central Oslo late last night. Two people are dead and about twenty are wounded. Some day the world just seems ugly.
I’ve fallen ill. Nothing too serious, just the common cold. Fatigue. Fever. Cough. I hate it!
