Then there's @anneapplebaum and "Red Famine"--which you should read. And @dietellewoods for impressing on me the book's importance in a particularly interesting way.
And then there's the entire outgoing Israeli coalition, with specific attention to @naftalibennett and @yairlapid--as well as the Ra'am party.
And then there's @ncweaver--and an update on running my own Mastodon server.
And finally there's today's #BeastOfTheDay, who no longer appears on Twitter but who was nominated by @dinodoc and who has a special message for you all on this rainy morning.

a praise for @maddow's terrific podcast series, "Ultra"--even though she has ignored my repeated importuning to come talk about it on the @lawfareblog.
Also, today's #BeastOfTheDay--who reminds you that she no longer appears on Twitter.
I do not intend to share a platform with Donald Trump again—at least not more than I have to. I will not exit Twitter entirely, as I have Lawfare content to promote and Twitter is useful for many things. That said, I don’t plan to spend time here any more for purposes other
than reading news and promoting our work. For those who wish to follow my work, thoughts, and sillinesses, I will be migrating most of that to Substack and Mastodon and Facebook/Instagram.
I am not leaving, but I’m leaving, if you know what I mean.
The Dulles Silver Line report—in honor of @joshgerstein. I report. You decide.
Steps from C Gate to Metro Platform: 1698
Marginal steps to Metro platform from Ground Tranportation area: 859
I may have ridden the Metro to the end of the line—just for posterity.
Okay, so here’s the critical question: how long does the Dulles-to-Metro Center run take? We gonna find out—excluding my eccentric detour to the end o’ the line. Metro is turning around now.
