There's something surreal about a satellite image like this. Mostly sunny skies over Hawaii don't adequately capture the dangerous wind & waves on the ground. Yet, the sprawling major hurricane centered 300 miles off the the coast of the Big Island is a vivid reminder of Mother Nature's power.

I’d rather be annoying than oblivious. These days, neutrality looks more like surrender.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

With every new film, a mythology that started out with the implicit assumption that fascism is bad becomes the story of a special White family whose superior bloodline makes them more important and more powerful than everyone else.

Jon Watts is set to direct ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE 10’. The film is intended to be the beginning of a new trilogy in the Skywalker Saga. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...)

Just think about how insane this is – I’m washing dishes while tracking Russian jet-powered Shahed drones on my phone. The attack has been going on for almost 8 hours. This is NOT NORMAL. Russia turning strikes like this into everyday life is not normal.

Russian terrorists dropped guided aerial bombs on a regional children's centre in Sumy. A 16-year-old girl and an 80-year-old woman were killed; five more people were injured. In Kyiv, the russians attacked two kindergartens, two schools and the residence of the Saudi Arabian ambassador.

Wartime means hugely accelerated development of weapons. Next year's drones will be even more deadly. The West will have to come to Ukraine for know-how and tech for future wars. Support for Ukraine now isn't just the right thing to do - it's an investment in future security.

❗️The Russians have begun using a new modification of Geran-5 jet UAV, which has received an autonomous optical navigation system and a modified fuselage design, - Colonel GSh UAV is equipped with an opto-electronic correction system that allows it to navigate using images of the earth's surface.

Zelensky: Today in Kyiv alone, russian jet-powered drones "defeated" 2 kindergartens, 2 schools, an apartment building, a car service, warehouses and communication facilities Anywhere else, this choice of targets would be called by one word - terrorism russia has no military purpose here

🔴 Russian drones hunted down a combine harvester in the fields of Kherson. Four drones repeatedly struck the machine—donated by Howard Buffett—targeting workers as they attempted to extinguish the flames. It was the farm's very last remaining harvester.

For those not following, there’s a city in Russia occupied Ukraine near the frontline cut off from everywhere by mines and torn up roads, the people who haven’t been able to evacuate have only food they can grow themselves or have been rationing for a year, and Russia does not care.

Russia occupies Oleshky. Around 2,000 civilians remain and run out of food, medicine, water and electricity. Russia, as the occupying power, is responsible for facilitating humanitarian relief. Ukraine found another way in: its forces delivered ~4 tons of food by drone to 100 locations across town.
