New article: a Soviet-era steel titan, Admiral Nakhimov, has recently emerged from a hugely expensive modernization. Yet in the meantime drone warfare, like we are seeing the Black Sea, is challenging this investment.

Two things must be acknowledged as true.

1. Israeli targeting in Gaza has been heinous and illegal.

2. The technical details in this article are a combination of wrong, inaccurate, and misrepresented to a degree it can only be concluded as inflammatory and not informative.
“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

No, I still can’t get this out of my head, and I keep trying to grasp the full abyss of this idiocy, unsuccessfully.

Russia spent years, decades "fighting all of NATO," turning America into "radioactive ash" every night on state TV.

This is a rather unhelpful framing coming from (I assume) national diplomats. It suggests that the problem with EU competitiveness lies with the Commission, where as all EU regulation are passed by Council & Parliament.

If anything, it is usually the national capitals who are putting on brakes.
EU countries are piling pressure on the European Commission to get serious about turning around the bloc’s sluggish economy, amid fears it could be left at the mercy of other big players like the U.S. and China.

Twin turrets are odd tanks but this one I can actually see some sense in.
The twin turreted T-26 tank was supposed to have a 37 mm B-3 gun in one turret a machine gun in the other. However, production of B-3 guns failed to get off the ground and #OTD in 1932 an order was given to build tanks with two machine guns instead. #tanks #history

Det intryck jag får från Försvarsmaktens övningar är att vi är fullständigt oseriösa när det kommer till drönarhotet. Och det gäller i hela myndigheten.

Det är beklagligt att vi ännu inte sett några prov och försök med drönarburar på våra stridsfordon och stridsvagnar. Det här med drönarhot i takvektorn är ju redan 5 år gammalt.

A mild steel prototype of the 4.7 cm Pak(t) (Sfl) auf Fgst.Pz.Kpfw.35 R 731(f) was built #OTD in 1941. The extra weight was too much for the Renault R 35 chassis and crews spent more time fighting their own vehicles than enemy tanks. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

My evening looks like this…

No electricity since 5 am.
Powerbank still alive - somehow.

Just sitting on my bed in the semi darkness, waiting.
Not even sure for what anymore.
Maybe for light. Maybe for silence inside the head.

Some days are not about being strong.
Some days are just sad.

One of the most interesting gun camera sequences. The leader F-86 overshoots the MiG-15 after damaging it with .50 cal fire. The MiG in turn shoots and tears off the lead F-86's wing. The F-86 wingman ultimately destroys the MiG.

Ännu en grund till att avskaffa skatten på företags vinster och istället beskatta kapitalinkomst på samma sätt som arbetsinkomst.
AI is here to stay or whatever but our tax code’s habit of penalizing employing humans while rewarding investing in machines means it’s not even a level playing field

Sadly there are no other assets to tax so we must tax employment income - I can’t land on any other solution
I'm starting to think (I need to look into this more, though) that this is largely due to them being able to immediately deduct their huge data centers investments.
If so, Trump's bill subsidizes their ability to destroy our environment and our democracy.

Abolish corporate tax and thus the deductions. And to compensate, tax capital income in the same way as salaries.
It will need some additional tweaking of rates but I think this would make field a little more level.
