There exists a limit to the force even the most powerful may apply without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry of government.

Oh, this is interesting (and a little scary) tl;dr don’t use SSDs for long term, offline storage. The data degrades after as little as two years without the drives being powered up […]

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

In case you're feeling mildly upset by the state of the world, here's a weird dog playing with a rubber chicken. [Sound on!] #IknowItsADonkey #donkey #humor #humour #cute #dog #dogs

“We are currently clean on OPSEC,” Mr. Hegseth wrote, using the military acronym for operational security.

When you realize you know how to use Signal better than the entirety of Trump's cabinet.

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding. inews.co.uk/news/world/m...

@peterfitz1.bsky.social wouldn‘t this be a perfect response to Trump Tariffs and help our lack of medical staff in Australia ??

The brain drain we are setting in motion on so many fronts is incredible

Concerning.

This would not surprise me one bit ….

When you strip away the jargon, even the most advanced ideas have a common thread—clarity.

Zelensky on Lindsey Graham's remarks about the need for his resignation: "Lindsey is a very good guy... I can grant him Ukrainian citizenship, and then I will listen to him as a citizen of Ukraine."

The Blue Report is amazing. The most clicked on articles are right here theblue.report

America, it’s up to you to deal with Trump. Europe, it’s up to you to deal with Putin. Now or never.

Turns out Zelenskyy is good at standing up against dictators.

With all these firings, the OSINT community should be MASSIVE

A Sydney-based production company is behind the Oscar-nominated documentary Porcelain War which shows fragile, porcelain figurines being handed to Ukrainian soldiers preparing for battle.

Can I just say that when they claim it was a Roman salute. Let’s remember that the Roman Empire was the “First Reich.”

This is extraordinary.

Hi @mazjovanovich.bsky.social I have been watching and enjoying these lectures and interviews of Sarah Paine. youtu.be/LbkO84MsmyM?... Was curious to your thoughts as I’m finding insight to her perspectives and applicable to what we are going to be dealing with in the future.

Doing a bunch of searches on my site, 'starship', 'falling', 'space', 'DEBRIS' ect, found this one for the falling very unexpected. I think its the very first time I have seen an ACARS poem.

The fact that the richest man on earth is paying someone to play a video game for him around the clock, so that he can pretend to be one of the best players in the world to his Twitter followers would be hilarious if it wasn’t so incredibly sad.

Custard, 'Apartment'. Custard are a band from my home city (Brisbane) who had a bunch of indie pop-rock hits in the '90s. 'Apartment' slaps hard! Nowadays the lead singer, Dave McCormack, is more famous for being the voice of Bandit in the worldwide kids cartoon show 'Bluey'! youtu.be/vh6po050BiY

I'm not sure a single photo could better convey a century of progress in air power. A single RCAF C-17 carries 7 WW1 aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean for the 2017 Vimy Ridge centenary. Remarkably, 4 Nieuport 11s along with 2 Sopwith Pups, and an SE5a fit in the belly of the C-17. Amazing! 🧵1/4

First little botfarm on b5ky spotted. re nzohack1.bsky.social Spams people who mention social media platforms and offer their dubious service.

A police officer says he found a large crowd gathered on a West Australian street after residents had climbed onto a shed roof to escape a "very aggressive" goanna.

this is one of my favorite custom feeds, Quiet Posters it shows you posts from people you follow who don't post that much! so it surfaces friends' posts that might otherwise get drowned out in the Following feed (which is reverse chronological) 🤗

We tried to warn. And yet the press “fact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025—because he said he wouldn’t. Insane.
