Friends,

Winter is coming. Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure will increase.

Russia has ramped up drone production and is changing its attack tactics. There will be blackouts in winter. #Kyiv will be Russia’s main strategic and symbolic target⤵️

"Russia denies any plan to attack NATO"

The basic rule: "never believe anything until the Kremlin denies it" applies here.

När man ändå släpar omkring på ett 800-1000 kg tungt batteri så blir ju belastningen av en släpvagn mindre märkbar.

The most relevant new feature in iOS 26 for journalists, lawyers, activists, politicians, executives, and other high-profile figures wasn't really advertised to consumers at all. Rather, it was announced in a Sept 9th post on the Apple Security Research blog...

Apple's new support for ARM's Memory Tagging Extension in iOS and their A19 SoC is an underrated feature for journalists, activists, and other high-profile figures.

Turkey already demonstrated the most effective response to Russian violations of NATO airspace 10 years ago: Warn them off, and if they ignore the warning, shoot them down.
Do nothing and Russia will keep coming. Hit back and they back down. The choice is ours. #Article4 #Estonia

It must be the ultimate recognition when a journalist reporting from inside Ukraine is heckled with lies by Russian state-controlled media. Keep up the great work Caolan, you should have 10 times more followers.

ICYMI: Trafikverket häver Västlänkenavtalet med NCC – budgeten har nu gått från 20 miljarder till 49 miljarder – räkna med ytterligare förseningar

Trafikverket häver Västlänkenavtalet med NCC – budgeten har nu gått från 20 miljarder till 49 miljarder – räkna med ytterligare förseningar

Fiaskot och krondiket Västlänken fortsätter leverera och Trafikverket häver nu avtalet med NCC som ansvarar för fiaskot Korsvägen. Budgeten för projektet har nu passerat 49 miljarder kronor istället för ursprungliga 20 miljarder och med hävandet av avtalet lär tidplanens nya 2029 - 2032 istället för 2026 skjutas fram ytterligare. Samtidigt ska kommun och regionen stå för hälften av pengarna, så blir det något kvar till kärnverksamhet som välfärd?

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen:

"We do not want either a conflict or a war with Russia. No one in Europe wants that. There is only one aggressive party, and that is Russia…

If we do not dare to stand up for ourselves&do what needs to be done,we will simply be too easy a target at some point”

Thanks to Ukrainian strikes, Russia has lost 20% refinery capacity so far. At 50% they’ll have difficulties supplying the front.
Ukraine is taking on Moscow’s economic war machine. Europe can do the same: Take down the shadow fleet in the Baltic & stop buying all Russian energy.

The EU has not sanctioned LNG and fossil gas, so he is right about the hypocrisy in the EU. So in addition to traitors Hungary and Slovakia, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain continue to feed the Russian war machine.
