No deal after the #putin #trump summit in Alaska. I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!
Another successful delaying action for Putin to continue pursuing his maximalist objectives to restore its pre-WWI borders. #russia #ukraine

Seems like getting fired by Trump for "rigging the numbers for political purposes" is becoming a badge of honor among people with integrity.
How many department heads will Trump have to fire until he gets people who publish numbers that make him look good?
Interesting article on rooftop and vertical gardens in Japan. But my perception is these are showcase projects and not necessarily a grassroots movement yet.

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
Yup, Asimov certainly got that one right.
The bad thing about climate change is denialism is irrelevant. People can see for themselves that their local climates are changing. The Earth will continue to heat up however you happen to feel about it. Only deliberate actions matter now. #climatechange #climate

Very sad and shameful news from DC. We tolerate far too much anti-Israel propaganda across social media. #israel #antisemitism

Interesting premise for an #etf (not an endorsement). Amateur investors infected by #conspiracy mind viruses could eat this up.
