Did you know that cabbage is one of the most environmentally sustainable vegetables we grow in the U.K.? Here’s a recipe that might make you more likely to eat it if you’re not a fan:
Save the Cows, Save the World

🚀“🇺🇦 Night Watch uses a jamming system called Lima EW to generate a disruption field that prevents anything in the area from communicating with a satellite. Lima also sends along a digital signal and spoofs navigation signals. It “hacks” the receiver it's communicating with to throw it off course.”

💬 I to bezpieczeństwo Europy będzie zwiększone lub zmniejszone w rezultacie sposobu zakończenia tej wojny, więc oczywiście jako Europa domagamy się włączenia w te decyzje.

Moim zdaniem to nie zdolność do obrony ofiary powinna być ograniczana, tylko zdolność do agresji agresora.

Academics from all fields should be at the forefront of the action for the planet everywhere. Their absence is the greatest betrayal of academia's mission. #ClimateSky

"There’s no research on a dead planet - so why do so few academics engage in activism?"- @charliejgardner.bsky.social
1/ There's a lot of talk these days about scientific neutrality and the role of academics in our planetary emergency

So I'd love to introduce myself by sharing some of my work on academic activism and talking a bit about my own shift from 'the lab' to the streets

Another elegant and sharp take by Ed Lucas on Estonia’s handling of the Wagner trolling. They met Russia’s psychological provocation with ridicule, not panic. A small stratcom masterclass the allies should adopt.

"National security requires many things. A sharp sense of humour is one of them."
Punchlines: Wagner and Narva
Estonia did not react with outrage at signs of Wagner’s presence on the border. Estonia responds to Russian trolling with ridicule.

The Sun just produced an X5.1 class #SolarFlare. This is the largest flare of 2025 so far, and 6th largest of the past two years. It triggered a strong ‘Radio Blackout’ and moderate ‘Solar Radiation Storm’ at Earth, and released what is most likely an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection!

"The authoritarian doesn’t need to win arguments or offer genuine compromise. They need only inflict enough pain that resistance becomes morally unbearable... It’s a nasty tactic but an effective one. Create unbearable suffering...Then offer relief in exchange for political surrender."
What’s the difference between compromise and capitulation? Compromise trades concessions. Capitulation pays ransom to stop deliberate suffering, and teaches your opponent that coercion works. There are effective responses to coercive bargaining. What we saw was not one of them.
