The mystery of the Thai GPS jamming.
About 2 weeks ago this area north of Bangkok started seeing consistent GPS interference. I'm not sure why–it's 100 miles from Cambodia, and there aren't really any military facilities there (the red dots).

A Ukrainian high schooler danced at her graduation ceremony clutching her fallen father's military uniform close to her chest.

In Ukrainian schools, the father-daughter dance is a cherished tradition where students honor their parents for years of love and support throughout their education.

The International Criminal Court upholds justice in the face of the most serious crimes.

It must remain free from pressure and true to its principles.

We will always support its vital work and protect its independence.

30 telecoms masts AND ~15 various electrical grid units have been sabotaged last months in south-east Sweden.

The sabotages are concentrated along highway E22, ie one of the main routes needed to reinforce Gotland in case of conflict. Ports are along this route, with the main one in the middle.

This is the area around the Russian embassy in Prague.

The embassy itself is on #Ukrainian Heroes Street.

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.

I have started a project to enable you to view multiple geo-data sources in same window.

Technically it is a number of Chrome plugins, enables you to stream data from websites that you have open, to a 100% local tab, that combines the data.

Here is an example of me pressuring it beyond its limits.

The Netherlands seems to be ahead of most European countries in drawing the logical consequences from the fact that America is no longer a trustworthy ally. Beyond defence, the Dutch colleagues are already discussing decoupling relating to financial payment systems and to software dependencies.

German Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz:

"The circumstances are determined above all by Putin's war of aggression against Europe. It is a war against Europe and not just a war against the territorial integrity of Ukraine⤵️

It was great meeting you today in Brussels, Friedrich Merz.

Your recent announcement to increase Germany’s defence spending is leading the way. We must all rise to the challenge.

Germany’s support for Ukraine has been invaluable, and together, we will take it further.

The premises has seen several sabotages recently.

It is in north Sweden and part of fields Nazi-Germany desired (and got).

Recently there has been findings of large deposits of rare earth metals.

Yikes!
Water supply of strategic Baltic island Gotland was sabotaged last night.

Someone broke into the pump controls and destroyed them.

The pumps serve a large part of Gotland (pop 61k) and had it gone unnoticed could have left all island without water.

Security services are notified. Water is ok.

Mycket prat om att Nato upplöses om USA lämnar. Att USA lämnar är naturligtvis en stor försvagning. Men behovet av Nato för övriga medlemmar minskar inte om USA lämnar. Tvärt om. Att vara med i ett försvagat och förändrat Nato är fortfarande bättre än "transatlantiska länken" och att stå ensamma.

That Trump/Zel meeting in the White House was just Trump trying to do an identical copy of The Apprentice. It was set up that way, with cameras, an impressive office, Vance and a planned beratement, to mimic The Apprentice. Because he thinks yelling "you're fired" at people looks good on TV.

We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
