Thanks to all who thanked me; expressing belief in the direct reporting and Russia's culpability, which is heartening to me.

I just wanted to send facts and claims and little truths and speeches and
inside the room remarks
and whatever I could learn as I followed the reported news. I felt that
could go a long way to preventing
that summary abstraction that says almost nothing; the kind many
conspiracy theories ride.

 I agree with David Morris that world-changing news is one thing we should
keep up with, if we can......
As the Talmud might say, if we don't identify with the world, who are we? I
cancelled things i had to do or Reading Group Zooms I was
supposed to attend yesterday, but now I know a lot of what happened down to
my fingertips. Fingertip feeling as the translation of a
nice German word has it.

Cub-reporting as a piecemeal mosaic---and I am proud of my summary of the
overnight, last night, as well.

If you still want to get Ukraine stuff from me, hit me up offline.

I respect Laura a lot and will honor her request re the Plist.
