Wang’s reported comments suggest that Russia’s war in Ukraine may serve China’s strategic needs as focus is deviated away from Beijing’s mounting preparation to launch its own eventual invasion into Taiwan.

That whole article was wild. Worth the read.

Concerns about Palantir’s work with UK police are growing, Liberty Investigates recently revealed how Palantir has established a “real-time data-sharing network” with some forces that includes sensitive personal details of vulnerable victims, children and witnesses alongside suspects.

Details of such systems are routinely kept from public view. In both 2024 and 2025, multiple FOI requests about Palantir’s police contracts —including from Liberty and the Good Law Project—were referred to the CRU, which advised forces to withhold information.

Some observers say this is an easy way for Pyongyang to earn money. While foreign tourists are allowed in, tour groups largely tend to come from China and Russia, countries with whom Pyongyang has long maintained friendly relations.

Jubilant Indians have been celebrating the successful launch of the Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission which has taken off with a multi-country crew, including an Indian astronaut.

In just over 26 hours - when the spacecraft docks at the International Space Station (ISS) - Group Captain Shukla will become the first ever Indian to visit Nasa’s orbiting laboratory.

His trip comes 41 years after cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma became the first Indian to fly to space aboard a Russian Soyuz in 1984.

What’s the obvious question?

Was it Hegseth?

Did she make an L with her hand on her forehead?

I’m not pissy, I love watching it. Y’all’s actions are your own, whatever they are. Good faith discussion starts in recognizing facts, not downvoting them. The whole ecosystem is better with a range of young and old forests. I didn’t comment on Trump, I commented on facts. I think logging, like every industry, has to be done properly.

An individual old tree may compared to an individual young tree, but a young forest captures more carbon. And that’s not even accounting for if/when the old tree burns anyway.

*Love that facts get downvoted.

Lets new trees grow and take carbon out of the atmosphere. Lowers chances of it just burning anyway. I have no problem with logging as long as we don’t sell the land.

Errand boy has no choice. removed does it because they’re a removed.

Spicy exhibit A.

Exhibit A.

And I’m reminding people what happens when they don’t unite and vote, and instead do this “n n not good enough!” stuff.

Sounds like you don’t like me reminding protest-non-voters what they voted for.

Got another 3.5 years of this. Longer if you count the time it takes to fix things.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

Mr Durov, 40, said he is the official father of six children with three partners. He started sperm donation 15 years ago and added that more than 100 babies were conceived that way.

He is worth US$13.9 billion (S$17.9 billion), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

“I want to specify that I make no difference between my children: There are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations,” he said. “They are all my children and will all have the same rights.”

“I wrote my will very recently,” he noted. “I decided that my children would not have access to my fortune until a period of 30 years has elapsed, starting from today.”

Kelin was then asked about Russian army recruitment.

“I’m not a specialist in this area, but as I understand it we have 50-60,000 a month, those volunteers who are coming, recruiting, posting, and they would like to get engaged in this thing (in Ukraine),” he replied.

He did not explain why the size of the Russian army fighting in Ukraine has gone down despite what would amount to around 250,000 extra troops being recruited and sent to the front since the beginning of the year.

From I figure, basically by giving recruitment numbers and total numbers in Ukraine, the West can calculate number of casualties, which the West figures is 1 million. Remember casualties includes injured.

Ehh they have an engine market problem. I’ve seen analysis that Honda isn’t a car company, they’re an engine company - cars, generators, lawn mowers, pumps, a whole whack of industrial things. They really need to shift to electric motors but even then it’s not a 1 for 1.

Oh no their very first prototype test didn’t catch up and surpass everything. Guess they’re doomed. Better give up and stop trying.
