That looks like Bill Christiansen (?) holding the sign - I don't know if he moved over to Bluesky from the hellscape.

Good on you Bill!

Wild Hornets Drones—especially FPV (first-person view) and interceptor models—have become force multipliers. Their low cost, agility, and precision make them tools of asymmetric defense: a few hundred dollars can neutralize expensive enemy systems.

"Despite Russia’s demographic advantage, its efforts to envelop Ukraine’s formidable fortress belt have had little success. ... The key to keeping the Russians at bay lies in finding better ways to compensate for Ukraine’s desperate shortage of manpower."

War Diary Day 1,319
I am leaving Lviv on the train and by the train tracks we see a plant the Russians bombed last night.

The war is not a fiction.

Stand by Ukraine.

On reports the Home Secretary plans to grant police more powers to prevent ‘repeated protests’, Greenpeace UK:

“Protest works because it is repetitive. If police had told the Suffragettes or civil rights activists ‘you’ve made your point,’ they would never have won the victories we all enjoy today"

Newcastle says no to fascism.

The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

Newcastle united.

The meeting in Quantico between Hegseth and allegedly every major military commander worldwide is on the same day as the deadline for the government shutdown.
What an unusual coincidence.
Probably just a coincidence.
Nothing to see here.
This is not the Martial Law you're looking for.
Move along.

4/ Using evidence gathered from old postcards, maps and the accounts of shepherds and botanists, I want to rebuild a picture of the chalk downland that existed until the 1940s - and in doing so, help efforts to restore it.

Good video of the Ukrainian naval drones making their way into the Tuapse port while being fired upon by Russian defenses.
You can clearly see the speed through the water of the naval drones.
The naval drones are small and fast and hard to hit by the gunners.
