I reviewed Navalny's posthumous memoir for the new @business weekend edition: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Alexey Navalny’s Posthumous Memoir Is a Call to Individual Power

The Russian opposition leader wrote from prison about how to find agency in a world designed to crush it.

The Ukrainian city of Vovchansk has been pummelled by Russian forces. Hospitals, schools, residential blocks and more have been flattened. Now, a new analysis suggests close to 80% of buildings in the city have been either damaged or destroyed. bellingcat.com/news/2024/10/…

How Russia’s Invasion Flattened a Ukrainian Border City - bellingcat

Homes schools, hospitals and churches have been wiped from the map in the Ukrainian city of Vovchansk. Those who lived in the city wonder if they will ever be able to return.

Naroditsky saying he's ready to make peace if Kramnik will stop attacking him. Kramnik [lengthy interlude on chesscom's monopoly] but otherwise yes I agree too

Kramnik keeps coming back to this point: no one supported him when people were criticizing him. He seems ready to make peace with Naroditsky. Kramnik doesn't seem to have any real doubts about Naroditsky as a chess player. He just wants someone to stick up for him sometimes

I would just like to stress that @VBkramnik has been arguing with @GmNaroditsky for close to two hours on @LevitovChess and hasn't turned his camera on content

Conversation has taken a weird turn. Levitov accusing Naroditsky of "farming" at @CLTchesscenter. Ie boosting his chess rating by beating up on weaker players

Kramnik: answer the questions Naroditsky: sure Levitov: please don't start over from the start

Kramnik is really hung up on Nakamura. Main takeaway from this

Kramnik: I understand that in some places I'm exaggerating (on cheating), in some cases I'm too tough. I would almost apologize for it. But chesscom and others are pouring crap on me for a year and no one has said a word in my defense

Apology to everyone who isn't here for chess. Former world champion Vladimir Kramnik has accused (he says he hasn't accused) strong U.S. speed chess specialist Daniel Naroditsky of cheating. And they're arguing about it on YouTube
