The T-44 tank was accepted into service #OTD in 1944. Factory #75 was chosen to produce them, where through no small effort 25 were built before the end of the year. 190 tanks were built by the time Germany surrendered, and none of them ever saw battle. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Hi All, Just released my latest free weekend update. The Battle of Pokrovsk (which we were first told in July 2024 was doomed) might finally be ending. The Russians have slaughtered masses to possibly take it, Ukraine is right not to do the same to hold it. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Trump is failing Ukraine — that will only change if he gets tough on Putin
If the U.S. president is serious about a ceasefire, escalatory measures may well be the only way to make it happen.

These data are important; we need to face this head on: "Even in areas relatively undisturbed by human activity, insect populations are on the decline, with climate change as a likely culprit." ("Pristine areas" really?, but the overall point, yes.) #insects #nature #climate #climatecrisis 🧪
Insect populations drop even without direct human interference, a new study finds
Research published this month found that even in pristine, untouched areas, insect populations are still on the decline. Climate change is a likely culprit.

-In Cardassia, the verdict is always known before the trial begins. And it's always the same.
-In that case, why bother with the trial at all?
-Because the people demand it. They enjoy watching justice triumph over evil. Every time.
-Isn't there a chance you might try an innocent man by mistake?

1/ Since 🇷🇺's full-scale invasion of 🇺🇦, its media has pushed a narrative that despite thousands of sanctions, its economy is thriving. GDP appears stable, but can these numbers be trusted? A deeper look reveals a looming banking crisis that could collapse the economy.
