1/ Russian commentators are sounding the alarm over America's use of a new kamikaze drone against Iran, the Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS). They note that it appears to have an integrated Starlink terminal and warn that it's a serious threat to Russia. ⬇️ 
2/ The use of LUCAS drones against Iran was announced yesterday by CENTCOM. This is the first time that the drone has been deployed in combat. It is reportedly reverse-engineered from the Iranian Shahed-136, which Russia has also adapted as the Geran-2 to use against Ukraine.

@willmenaker @weardjupiter Real winner, this one. Anyway you can't be a leftist if you say this type of person is a freak
@willmenaker @weardjupiter Drag queens had to stop saying the trannyword for people like this. They added they stupid Baskin-Robbins colors chevron to the pride flag for this guy
I am hoping @ChrisGPackham will understand this as a naturalist, and he has some understanding of ecology and biodiversity, because my important points about this assessment are being ignored.
My central point is these redacted parts are of little use to us.

I completely agree with @GreenRupertRead that these parts should never have been redacted. However, the idea that the full unredacted report, would help us better understand these threats, is profoundly mistaken, and the ITN report is misleading.

I have been making the same warnings for decades, and they were actually based on the same science and references, as this assessment used.
My point, is we don't know enough about the way our human systems rely on natural systems, to confidently make such projections.

Oleksiy Brekht was the man who rebuilt destroyed transformers, connected Ukraine to the European power grid, and resisted attempts by Energy Minister Halushchenko to take control of Ukrenergo.
He was posthumously awarded Hero of Ukraine, Suspilne reports. 1/

On January 21, 2026, Brekht was killed at a substation in Kyiv region while restoring equipment damaged by a Russian strike. The cause was electrocution. He died on site, doing field work, not managing from an office. 2/
Brekht started in 1999 at the Kyiv Pumped Storage Power Plant. In 2001, he joined Ukrenergo as a dispatcher.
Over 25 years, he rose through the ranks, focusing on system-level grid stability and high-voltage infrastructure. 3/

If you haven’t seen this angle, these are the gates leading to the interior compound of the U.S. Consulate in Karachi. If they get past that point they’ll scatter, and it’ll be overrun.
That flagpole is inside of the compound. Don’t.

"West f*cking Virginia". Ahem. Canadian RW frens, I don't think your word choices are helping you in the American Heartland. The Alabama having a higher per capita GDP discussion is amusing, but is based on some insulting stereotypes.

First, Huntsville "Rocket City" in the APPALACHIAN region of ALABAMA is more technologically sophisticated than any city in Canada. Look it up, original (and future) home of the US space program, huge numbers of PhDs & engineers.

Canadians don't know this because they really don't know much about Alabama, or the South, or Appalachia. Canadians get filtered information from the liberal US coastal media, that goes through the liberal Canadian media, and they get a grossly distorted image

$SPY • Here’s a very helpful tip to help you avoid fakeouts and up your win rate! 📝
Wait for the 15 minute candle close ✅
A majority of liquidity sweeps occur on the 15 minute timeframe.
You can avoid a lot of those lower timeframe fakeouts by letting the 15 minute candle body close above / below your key level.
So rather than chasing the breakout, let it confirm on the 15, then buy the dips on the lower TF like the 2 and 5.
I’ll add a few more examples to review in the comments👇

After every mass Russian strike, Ukraine breaks it down like a game tape.
Ukraine DM Fedorov: After every large-scale attack, we analyze interceptor positions, ballistic paths, air defense performance.
Then we decide what needs improvement — Kyiv Independent.

Ukraine created a new Air Force command for short-range air defense.
Pavlo Yelizarov is leading it. He is a former commander of one of the country’s most advanced strike drone units.
Ukraine is shifting from mobile gun teams to high-speed AI-powered interceptor drones.

I’m at a bar in Logan and the people across from me are talking about a “destination wedding” in Fitchburg (!) and I am now glued to the conversation. I must know more about this madness
The bride goes, “We want it to feel like you’re being transported.”
Her mom: “Transported where?”
Bride: “To Fitchburg.”
Her mom: “Transported where?”
Bride: “To Fitchburg.”
Bride: “We’re asking everyone to arrive Thursday because the weekend is packed.”
Cousin: “With what.”
Bride: “We have a welcome dinner.”
Cousin: “Okay.”
Bride: “And then Friday is the Fitchburg experience.”
Cousin: “What is the Fitchburg experience?”

it is ultimately the answer to the Camusian question. life is meaningless, what to do next? nihilism is an nice line of thought, but for when it gets too empty -- resort to absurdism. just live. exist. have experiences.
there is also a very radical way. an almost epicurean, bordering on insanity path. the Hunterian answer to the Camusian question.

that brings us to the middle path, often keeping a balance between purposes and philosophy. that interesting mediocrity of domesticity.
