Heard a great talk by a commercial airline pilot about safety regulations for pilots compared to surgeons.

I asked if older pilots get mad when younger pilots voice safety concerns because they think the only way to be a great pilot is to work while exhausted and he looked at me like I was crazy.

The invasion is such a master strategy that they are now developing a long range strike capability which they didn't have that we claim we invaded them to prevent from acquiring.

We claim that's one of the reasons. But it's ofc bullshit.

Free speech

Military historian Sir Antony Beevor on Times Radio on Trump-Putin:

"We should always distrust historical parallels, especially those from WW2...but there is a really very frightening echo of the betrayal of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and the idea that one can deal over the heads of a suffering nation"

How quickly Trump rolled over for me is proof that if he was POTUS in 2022 this war wouldn't have lasted 3 years.

He'd have just thrown Ukraine under a tank in exchange for a pat on the head.

Hegseth to NATO: U.S. troops won't guarantee Ukraine's security after war NATO's Article 5 protections should not apply to any European forces sent to Ukraine, Hegseth said.

"There never can be any absolute certainty that there will be a fight if one side is determined that it will give way completely."

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Scientific Publications Face Credibility Crisis Are scientific publications losing credibility? AI and low-quality submissions undermine research integrity.

Scientific Publications Face Credibility Crisis

Ever thought 'Why don't DV victims just leave?'
Many reasons, 1 scenario...

Start off, all good, friendly, kind, over time some rudeness, but rarely/minor, then abuse & threats start, become more regular, you stay because of the good parts.

The above is about Twitter/X.

If you've stayed there...🤷‍♀️

I highly recommend you to start the James Islington "Licanius Trilogy". You won't regret it. It's by far the best fantasy book I readed since GOT.
