The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

TAYLOR: NATO should be very interested in having Ukraine join. Ukraine has shown that it can stop Russians. That proves Ukraine can do exactly what NATO is designed to do: stop, deter, and fight Russians if they attack. So NATO would be much stronger with Ukraine as a member.

1/ If yesterday's Victory Day parade had been a true reflection of Russia's frontline army as it is now, it would have been a chaotic display of battered vehicles, motorbikes, exhausted soldiers on crutches, and donkeys. A Russian warblogger imagines how it could have been. ⬇️

The EU flag is flying at Hungary’s parliament again after Péter Magyar was sworn in as prime minister — the first time it’s been displayed there since Viktor Orbán had it removed in 2014.

There are also enlarged postcards of old Bolkenhain adorning the walls, and I love it. This feels like a beautiful way to engage with the past - layer it and embrace it.

Penitent by @danbullock.bsky.social was a standout experience - thought-provoking, challenging, and greatly educational. I’m still thinking about this game. Highly recommend if you want a game that makes you think as much as you play. Don’t judge my prison design. It’s already been judged 😩.

The concussion from the blast shatters the Hunley, and she sinks to the bottom of the harbor with all 8 men lost. But the hole in the Houstatonic proves fatal as well, and within minutes the sloop slides below the surface. For the first time in history, a submarine has sunk a ship! (3/3)

Oh, and here is more, from @fgradaille.bsky.social, about maneuver in the game and how differently things can work out in 1618-1620 (playtest art, in this case). insidegmt.com/cuius-regio-...

It’s 2026 and it’s May but the doors of Lower Silesia continue to inspire awe. What I found today knocked me off my feet. Because just when I thought I’d seen it all in my hometown, I found this 1902 gem - with this little guy 😭 Pure giddy joy.

Day two of PunchedCon was something

That's one thing about Stalin a lot of people like to ignore: he was warned by Churchill as well as his own intelligence that Hitler/Germany would attack the USSR and he told them to fuck off, and was shocked, SHOCKED when it happened. Today his apologists don't want to talk about that.
