Something James O’Brian of LBC pointed out :

- Russia is aiding Iran, supplying them intelligence
- Iran is using this intelligence to attack US military bases
- Trump is easing the sanctions on Russia to lower the price of oil

…and round it goes.

I know the reason
I feel so blessed
My heart still splashes
Inside my chest, but she
She is like a top
She cannot stop
She moves on

- From She Moves On, The Rhythm Of The Saints, by Paul Simon

Written about his then partner Carrie Fisher.

Beautiful.

I remember a time when it made sense to delete trailing spaces in documents to conserve disk space. A colleague of my mother used to advise this, ~1982. I can still remember the smell of the office from when I used to visit, toner, IT equipment. It smelled exciting, professional.
