Wild scoop: Wagner mercenary chief Prigozhin offered to give Russian troop locations to Ukraine in exchange for Bakhmut retreat, classified documents say. New from @shaneharris @ikhurshudyan https://t.co/yZbwi6lTmT

Fascinating if true. — It's useful to recall that in uncertain times, no one in Russia would want their finances to depend entirely on Putin. Prigozhin's independent sources of money depend on Wagner's activities outside Russia. No competent Wagner fighters = much less money. https://t.co/mgfOfLRqUg

Note also that according to the article, the Ukrainians declined his offer because they did not trust him.
Good call, Ukrainians.

For the longest time, I thought Kenn was just an asshole. I played on the same bill with him at a local coffeehouse many times, back when he mostly did Dylan songs and sounded a little too much like him. (I remember guys in the audience used to throw cans of soda at him.)
Then I saw him with his band, and they ended the night by throwing chairs into the audience. (I was not impressed.) But years later, a co-worker dragged me to one of his infamous shows at Dobbs, and the light finally went on. I became a fan. That’s how it is with him: You either love him or hate him.
