Trump is starving Ukraine of some vital defensive systems. Again, it needs to be said, the US government is now acting in such a way that it is helping the Russians kill Ukrainians.
😡🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: "We agreed with the previous US presidential administration to transfer 20,000 missiles to Ukraine to fight Shaheds. It was an inexpensive and special technology. We were counting on them. But the US now decided to transfer these missiles to the Middle East."

This is insane! What a morally bankrupt man. Trump just said he’s considering imposing sanctions not only on russia but also on Ukraine.

I can’t believe people voted for this level of moral bankruptcy.

The overfishing for sprat is an 'ecological disaster'.

In February 2024, the Minister of Agriculture, Food and the Marine held another public consultation on trawling activity inside the six nautical mile zone.

Nothing has happened since.

Fascinating retrospective read on an iOS exploit, but the most interesting part might be the Aftermath section.

Apparently Apple shifted gears with iOS 14 and started implementing deep mitigations, which despite not perfect really changed the game.

New study: The risk of flooding events along the U.S. Northeast coast has doubled since 2005. Now, scientists have discovered that up to 50% of these events occurred because key Atlantic ocean currents are slowing down. #AMOC 🌊

The decline of key Atlantic currents is underway, and it's been flooding parts of the US for 20 years
New research has linked sea level rise and an increase in flooding in the U.S. Northeast over the past 20 years to the breakdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).

WILL a third of Japan be destroyed in July this year like this manga predicted? I'm betting on No but if I'm wrong, I'll personally apologize to the artist from beyond the grave. I'll probably also haunt this place for a while. Gonna Poltergeist the keyboard to type out "Justified is soooo good."
There's this #manga artist who claims to have dreams of the future and she put those dreams in a #manga as one does when one is a #manga artist, and I read that #manga and its predictions, including the one about a cataclysm hitting Japan in July '25. Details:

If you haven't tried it yet, consider getting Clair Obscur 33. It's a *very* good game for older gamers. :) You can do short sessions and there is surprises around every corner. And it just oozes quality.

It’s so weird that the Coens and Wachowskis have been working solo lately. I’d like to see a Coen brother and a Wachowski sister team up on a project, just to see what would happen.
