Ukraine is going to share the technology and expertise with the Allies on fighting Shahed-type drones, by UK's request. This is the spirit for partnership I love. There gonna be more. I wish I could do more advocacy for this, not only in the times of war.

Denmark’s left defied the consensus on migration. Has it worked? www.economist.com/europe/2025/... From The Economist David Leonard of the NYT did a long take as well with more detail.

Russia bet on winter to break Ukraine - to freeze, to exhaust, to force to surrender. It failed. Spring is here. Thank you to our defenders, air defense, energy, and utility workers, and to every Ukrainian who endured. Ukraine won the battle for winter. And we’re still standing. 🇺🇦

There’s something morally grotesque about reporting the words of a genocidal war criminal as if they were uttered from a genuine place of authority rather than from atop a pile of Ukrainian corpses.

Bombing shit on weekends ensures markets don't immediately react and EU can't do anything until 9AM on Monday

Interestingly, this tanker is being reported to be part of Iran's shadow fleet, suggesting they hit their own tanker, as a theatrical way of demonstrating their 'commitment' to closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Results of an Iranian Shahed drone strike on the oil tanker 'Skylight'. First tanker hit of the war, unlikely to be the last. Aside from the human cost, there will likely be a massive environmental cost to the conflict as well.

US backed security guarantees are virtually useless and russia knows it. Full fledged no limits NATO integration, provided Art 5 still has teeth, is the only deterrent worth a shit.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, was killed Saturday after the US and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, according to President Donald Trump. He was 86.

NEW: A popular prayer app used in Iran began urging users on Saturday to "lay down your weapons" as part of an apparent hack. Ex-NSA hacker Jake Williams tells Straight Arrow News: "This is very likely an Israeli cyber operation." san.com/cc/lay-down-...

I had forgotten how The Simpsons put the extra effort in to flip this joke. Rather than just satirizing US nationalist parochialism, Homer is (momentarily) an expert on Iranian politics.

the guy who wrote the literal book on this stuff is dunking on the admin:

So it isn't just "the Pentagon" eventually rips out claude and replaces it with a blooey CSAM mechahitler, it's "the pentagon" is gonna have to tell a bunch of third parties to rip out claude of the stuff they've built, and then they have to decide if they want to use mechahitler or just stop

Sweet old Kyiv today

Great pull from the Epstein files. FBI tried to figure out who on 4chan had scooped all news outlets on Epstein's death, but the trail went cold when they couldn't find who had that IP address.

holy cow, blast from the past. When I found the post by accident I turned to @janelytv.bsky.social to try and get it disproved as a conspiracy theory and not much else... turns out it was real!

Part 2:

Been supporting 🇺🇦 fighters in their right for defense since 24/02, and if there was ever a sign they'd do it, they'd persevere against all odds, they weren't going to throw the towel and surrender, they would fight all the way to freedom, their homeland and their loved ones, it's this video.

small weekend project: tired of trying to find out what's wrong with the myriad of ELRS RXs I own, decided to fork an ESP32 project to visualize CRSF data from the receivers to support the newly released M5Stack StickS3. Repo here: github.com/KonradIT/crs...

🔥Tonight, the USF destroyed two more Russian Tor air defence near Mariupol. This brings the total number of Russian Tor systems destroyed over the past half-week to five, all eliminated by this unit’s actions.

Ryan Grim joking around on Twitter about “the Ukraine” and how ridiculous caring about it was, and how pathetic Dem war mongering over something that obviously wasn’t going to happen was, as I was flying back to DC after having been evacuated from Kyiv is seared in my brain.

Starlink white listing + Telegram block is a severe blow to the communication infrastructure of the Russian army. There is a high probability that this will translate into real loss of combat power in the time to come.

What a stupid timeline where we can be bombed and killed in our own homes for no reason, yet are forbidden from paying public tribute to slain athletes. This is not neutrality, this is silencing the victim.

Do you want to know why I yell at folks to not attempt to shoot down drones? The US Military with all their gizmos and the very best sensors and radar *mistook a party balloon* for a drone.

Last year I traveled all the way to rural Vietnam to officiate a friend's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony that mixed cultures and language, and was a celebration of the best of humanity. He just sent me this post and said "this is how you lost the war."

🇺🇦 Zaporizhzhia direction, AFU cleared Ternuvatr from Russians.

Really impressive video of a Shahed being shot down by an F-16 fighter jet from the 107th Aviation Wing of the Ukrainian Air Force. The interception was carried out using the aircraft’s M61A1 Vulcan onboard rotary cannon.

Love how some conspiracy theories are just never going to catch on in places like Europe. I have everything I need within ~5 minutes of walking, 15 minute cities sound like a hell scape for my woke urbanite soul.
