Remember, this red-carpet treatment was just a year ago. Realistically, little has changed from Trump’s end, arguably, it’s deteriorated. Ukrainian Civilian casualties are back at 2022 levels. Putin is emboldened, preparing for a long war, backed by North Korean troops and more ballistic missiles.

Heute vor zehn Jahren war ich noch beruflich am Gletscher unterwegs. Heuer war das Gletschereis bereits sehr früh – ohne reflektierenden Schnee – der Sonne und der Hitze ausgesetzt. Es geht viel schneller als die Meisten dachte. (Aber auch das wurde prognostiziert.)
Heute wieder Wildberries. Neben Koledino noch ein kleineres Lager bei Domodedowo, beides in der Nähe von Moskau
The entire Wildberries logistics hub in Koledino, Moscow Oblast, is engulfed in flames following today’s attack. The complex covers around 250,000 m² and has long been one of Wildberries’ largest and most important logistics centers.

SNYDER: Both Trump and Hegseth have this tremendous arrogance factor about Ukraine. They won't look at it. They won't acknowledge that Ukraine is winning a war, that Ukraine has been innovating, or Ukraine as a reality.
265 days at sea. 5,000 sailors are finally coming home. It’ll take another 1–2 weeks, and it’s only happening after the public outcry, but it’s about fucking time. Now Hegseth needs to answer for why it took this long.

These ships have been out there for 9 months. Hegseth had all the time in the world to find resupply ports, he just didn't care. ---- Volkskrant, Remco Andersen "NYT: problemen Amerikaans vliegdekschip veroorzaakt door Iraanse bombardementen op marinebasis VS" www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/n...
NYT: problemen Amerikaans vliegdekschip veroorzaakt door Iraanse bombardementen op marinebasis VS
Een Iraanse aanval is de reden dat 5.000 opvarenden van het vliegdekschip USS Abraham Lincoln lijden onder tekorten aan basisvoorzieningen. Het verklaart mogelijk ook waarom Iran in maart twee interco...

George Washington rejected the idea of a massive presidential palace. The White House was deliberately scaled back because the president of the United States should not live like a king. 234 years later, Trump is posting Versailles fan fiction starring himself.
Petition: Require green roofs and solar panel shelters in all car parks Require all car park operators to build green roof and solar panel parking shelters which could REDUCE the need to use farmland for solar farms and support biodiversity. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...
Trump is trying to draw more Police and Military into his Post-Truth Racist/Fascist Cult with his Hitler modeled fascist hate and Big Lie rallies. It’s remarkable MAGA don’t detect his sometimes subtle, usually blatant racial division tactics, all designed to radicalize the White majority with fear.
So we have partisan political police in the middle of a work day attending a political rally in uniform. Looks like Nuremberg in 1936.

Moving things over large distances meant using a wagon or a boat in Bronze Age Europe. It seems that wagons and boats became metaphors for movement in religious beliefs, as the horse-drawn sun chariot from Trundholm in Denmark implies. Around 1400 BC, National Museum Copenhagen. #Archaeology
Weather is never going to be innocuous and inconsequential ever again, is it. 🤦🏻♀️

It really is remarkable that we’ve seen 35°C reached in 4 consecutive months, May, June, July, August, the previous record was 2. We’ve also now beaten 1995 for most days >30°C ever recorded. No other year since records began matches summer 2026. 🥵
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.
