Hey , can you explain why the credit card fee gets taken out of the tip if I pay it online? I’m assuming you take the hit if I tip in cash. So what’s so hard about giving delivery people the full tip? Haven’t we already been through this?

I first met Shane in 2011 in a Japanese restaurant on Russia’s Chinese border. He was a week late to a shoot I had meticulously produced on N. Korean slave labor. He spend the whole meal talking about gold watches he owned. Who’d of thunk Vice would fail?

I’ve joined 300 foreign correspondents who’ve reported in Russia in demanding WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich’s release. The earliest signatory to this letter to Russia’s foreign minister arrived in Moscow in 1964; the most recent left in the past few weeks

Ukraine subverts Russia's mobilization advert: "I don't want to kill kids. I don't want to cut heads off. I don't want to be responsible for Putin's war crimes. You're a human. So be one."
Once again, they're so, so good at this.

Russia is running a “be a man” campaign to shame civilians into taking up military service. It should say “be a dead man.” The Russians have suffered up to 223,000 casualties, including as many as 43,000 killed in action, according to the intel leak.

Day 405 of my 3 day war. I invaded Ukraine to move NATO further away from Russia but ended up with Finland joining it & doubling my border with the alliance.
I remain a master strategist.

What happened to yday could have happened to any US reporter working in Putin's desperate regime. But ever since he appeared at 5 yrs ago Evan has been a most brilliant chronicler of Putin's Russia. This article stands out

Our friend & colleague has been detained in Russia. The FSB has accused him of spying. He was fully accredited as a reporter by MFA. Evan is an excellent thoughtful journalist who cares deeply about his work & these allegations are absurd

Taking Ukrainian kids from their country is not a new idea for Putin. In 2014, I reported on Donetsk orphans petrified as Moscow’s proxy militias prepared to bus them to Russia. “We don’t want to go to Russia,” they told me.

Haas told us they stopped all business in Russia a week after the invasion last year. Even if that’s true, Haas could still be in trouble because the sanctions have been in place since 2014. But records show they actually made shipments for months & months after Russia’s attack.
