Danish Intelligence Service (FE) report on 11 February 2025 concluded...Russia already sees itself in conflict with the West and is preparing for a war against NATO. Should there be a pause of fighting in Ukraine, FE concludes that Russia could, within 6 months, fight a war with a bordering country.
Russias Baltic Fleet are in active preparations for confrontation not seen since Cold War.
Chilling assessment by @jjdroxford.bsky.social of increased and changed communication activity
indicating a change closer to war footing.

I swear to fucking gods, if I survive WW3, I *will* be doing my part in manufacturing nuclear ICBMs in Ukraine. And no peacenik or "escalation manager" would be able to convince me otherwise.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.
Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser.

two tech men having an incredibly annoying meeting next to me in the café and one of them just said "the thing I love about SEO is.....the culture", gobsmacking, beautiful piece of dialogue, would have struggled with it in a sitcom yet he just said it, in real life

I have literally laughed out loud on this part.
We've had "U.S. security guarantee" with a much more trustworthy govt than the Trump's one, and even that, when the push came to shove, turned out to be not worth the paper it was written on.
With Trump it's worth even less and sounds like an insult.

I was today years old when I realized that apartments aren't built for people to live in them. They are built to be sold or rented out.
That actually explains a lot of annoyances I've had in the past and have right now.

As my students learn in my Russian intelligence module, the KGB used to do this in Soviet times - it was called a prophylactic chat with the aim of nipping minor transgressions in the bud and discouraging further behaviour that was frowned upon by the state
We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event.
And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.
While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:
