I took a week off from scowling and screaming at Tiger Team’s AGI system that refuses to be born in order to luxuriate in code that has to work on only one server, and has to be legible only to me. The bliss, I tell you, the bliss!

About that 3,000-word whatever appearing in The New York Times Magazine, titled “The Untold Story of ‘Russiagate’ and the Road to War in Ukraine. Russia’s meddling in Trump-era politics was more directly connected to the current war than previously understood.”

Jim’s story is conspicuous for what he deliberately ignores, namely the preinaugural dump of 280,000 messages sent and received by Paul Manafort’s daughter Andrea from 2012 through late 2016, as well as Paul’s girlfriend in Kyiv, ties to Thomas Barrack Jr., Alexander Vogt, and so on. I could not force myself to read the whole piece carefully, but this bit caught my attention.
