As for Mr. Dickson's warning:

“Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage among his books. For to you kingdoms and their armies are things mighty and enduring, but to him they are but toys of the moment, to be overturned with the flick of a finger.”

He said today that the tariffs would start on the 1st of February.

Talking over other people during conversations.

I've been trying to stop doing that for some time now. It's bothering me more and more when I find myself backsliding.

Good evening, everyone.

A Putinist missile gone awry from Ukraine struck Poland, killing two people.
