My hope is mostly utilitarian–there to put up a good front so I don’t discourage others.

I even do believe that humanity will survive. However, it’s pretty clear climate catastrophe will shift from having an indirect death toll in the hundreds of thousands to having a direct death toll in the tens of millions. It’s going to be extremely, extremely rough.

FIDE, the international governing body for chess, is a shit, utterly corrupt organization that has been captured by Russia for years. The French chess federation, Canada, and even the USA have actually been supportive of trans players.

I bow to the master.
