Researchers try to find Russian botnets on social media to identify state actors spreading propaganda via fake accounts
Instead they find tons of US state department led botnets spreading US propaganda

Ah yes, those Russian-funded Stanford studies. Paid for by NSF grants, from American taxpayers.

The French 1-year forward electricity contract just traded above €1,000 per MWh for the first time (that's not a typo: one-thousand-euros!!!), up from the 2010-2020 average of €45 per MWh.

Meanwhile the German minister for the economy and energy from the Green Party in discussions about whether Germany should shut down its last 3 remaining nuclear power plants on December 31st this winter:
"We have a problem with natural gas, but not with electricity."

I, for my part, am getting my pitchfork ready...

I'm generally against violent protests, think they don't accomplish much tbh but honestly it's getting to the point when it's the only thing that's left to do. Politicians and those in power aren't threatened by not getting votes. It's getting to the point where people need to devolve into being violent for change to happen.

Sri Lanka style, burn down the politicians homes, target their families, etc. At the rate we're going that could happen within our life time in the west.

This is probably one of the best macro pieces I have read in a really long time. It's long but quality read that touches both on international macro economics and the current conflicts.

Ukrainian & Western sources reporting a counter offensive by Ukraine in Kherson. Don't really see any confirmation of success/failure coming from either side yet.
