A series of explosions was heard in Lviv. Presumably, an RS-26 “Oreshnik” intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) was used.

In Lviv, authorities are working to confirm the details of a missile strike. Mayor Sadovyi says investigations are ongoing. Preliminary reports suggest Russia used an Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile. Six explosions were heard across the city.

Six or seven loud explosions reported by residents in Lviv. Entire country on air alert - no sign of the Oreshnik here. Anti-aircraft fire audible now in western Kyiv, and a far-off explosion.

There is speculation that the Oreshnik hit Lviv, but this is unconfirmed.

Donald Trump tells @nytimes.com that getting ownership over Greenland is "psychologically needed for success".

"Ownership gives you a thing that you can't do with, you're talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document."

Ukraine is under a nationwide long-range ballistic missile threat. Monitoring channels report activity at Russia’s Kapustin-Yar missile site, previously used to launch an Oreshnik missile. Air defense systems are likely on high alert. Dozens of Russian drones have also entered Ukrainian airspace.

two major factors come to mind:

1. Elon has a personal history of committing sexual violence, so this isn't a big deal to him. it probably makes him happy.

2. widespread violence against women and girls is foundational to the US fascist political project

more proof that they. don't. care.
I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

In Gorgan, the military administration building is reportedly on fire, new footage shows a significant blaze. With Iran under a total internet and mobile blackout, only scattered clips are making it out. At this point, we can only guess what’s really unfolding on the ground.

Everyone should be paying attention to Iran right now.
