Just nu toppar Aftonbladet med en artikel som helt okritiskt återger rysk-amerikansk desinformation om vad som skett i Ukraina.
https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/nyKg1o/usa-vill-se-vapenvila-i-ukraina-innan-pask

Att tala om "de fyra ukrainska territorier som Ryssland ockuperat" är lögnaktigt av två skäl:
* Även Krim är ockuperat.
* De fyra nämnda regionerna är bara delvis ockuperade av Ryssland. Även om Ryssland har förklarat dem annekterade så är detta en pappersmanöver som inte förändrar det faktum att frontlinjen nu går tvärs igenom regionerna.

We live in interesting times. Friend of mine is a scientist in France. He just got briefing on what to do when traveling to the US. He was told to use an empty, freshly installed laptop with nothing but his presentation on it. Uninstall all messengers and social media. If he has to surrender any of his devices even for a minute, he shall get it checked by the French secret service for back-doors and Trojans.

I guess I rather stay home than going to a conference in the US.

I'm reading *The Dispossessed* for the first time. Yeah, I know I'm late to the party...

It's a set of very weird worlds she's portraying in this book. I find the culture on Anarres revolting in it's insularity, and groupthink. At the same time the misogynism expressed by the people on Urras is just as disgusting.

It really isn't a clear cut ideal, any of them. Classic Le Guin making things more complex than you first imagine. She was good.
