Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s Vegetables in a Bowl (1590) is quite odd-looking ~ and if you turn it upside down (as at R), it becomes ‘The Vegetable Gardener’ (Museo Civico Ala Ponzone, Cremona)

**Ukraine’s Winning Cards Against Russia In The Black Sea**

Marco Rubio wants Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and by extension the Polish people to be thankful, or else Russians would be already on the Polish border.

I will not elaborate much that Russia actually shares a border with Poland.

It's actually extremely easy to understand why Joe Rogan would do this, but understanding it would require the ADL to ask larger questions about their new political allies on the Trumpist right, so instead they're going to pretend it's inexplicable.
Tweet from the Anti-Defamation League: "As ADL’s @orensegal told @J_Insider about the antisemitic conspiracy theories spread by Ian Carroll, "it is difficult to understand why Joe Rogan would offer his platform to further disseminate these ideas at a time when the Jewish community is facing increased vulnerability due to rising incidents targeting them.”"

An interesting and obviously effective new type of standoff material protected a Ukrainian tank from a Russian FPV armed with a PG-9S shaped-charge warhead.
It appears a strong and lightweight mesh, apparently with printed connectors.

I said this right at the start
Trump thinks he can roll up to Zelensky and demand whatever because 'He is the US President' and everyone has to do what he says
Zelensky will turn around and say "no"
and Trump will have a freak out because he doesn't know what to do
and that is exactly what happened.

This article implies that drones operate with near-perfect accuracy, but the reality is far different. Drone strikes are only about 50% effective, and their impact depends heavily on weather, EW conditions, and the availability of experienced operators…

What coherent and intelligent commentary can you even have on national security or military affairs anymore?

Everything is just fucking stupid now. What are you even supposed to say besides just repeating over and over how fucking dumb every single decision is?

Swedish armed forces today opened a new division, 32nd Coastal Guided Missile Division, in Karlskrona, south Sweden.

The unit will be equipped with truck-mounted Robot 15 Mk3 launchers, a sea surface skimming missile with a range of 200 km, or, most of Baltic Sea depending on staging. Archive vid.

Have deleted a skeet because apparently pointing out that Infrastructure and logistics matter in defence makes you a Nazi, and honestly, I don‘t have time for this. The risk of conflict in Europe in Europe is higher than it has been in decades. Forgive me for worrying about that.

Norwegian Chemring Nobel is in the starting process of building by far the biggest explosives factory in Europe.

It will be solid on an international scale.

This feels like the first case where what earlier would have been an obvious US front runner lost due to the political fallout from Trump and his people. And a long-range air defence system is no cheap thing.

By the sound of things SAMP/T NG and NASAMS are now 🇩🇰favorites for long range and short range GBAD, respectively. This is a European pairing that could fulfil all criteria and possibly in the case of NASAMS a battery could be on loan from 🇳🇴 in the interim.

Dear Europe: You are next on the hit list. Good arguments, preemptive concessions, appeals to friendship, and flattery will not protect you. Discard those fantasies and prepare to hit back hard.

This was just 233 days ago:
Sotomayor’s dissent in Trump v. United States: “Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the Invictus Games has a message for “Our American friends” that I think nails how a lot of Canadians feel right now. Some friendships are worth fighting for.

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.
