😮 Ukraine spy agency official - “We welcomed volunteers in good faith. But we must now recognize that Ukraine has become a platform for the global dissemination of FPV tactics. Some come here to learn how to kill with a $400 drone, then sell this knowledge elsewhere to the highest bidder.”
Drones are going to be proliferating https://www.defensenews.com/global/the-americas/2025/07/30/drug-cartel-operatives-snuck-into-ukraine-for-drone-training-report/

Egg producer Kipster has now implemented in-ovo sexing, a technology that enables it to stop culling male chicks. If the entire egg industry were to adopt this practice in the U.S, it would spare around 300 million male chicks each year from grisly slaughter. sentientmedia.org/tech-to-end-...
Tech to End Chick Culling Has Now Been Implemented, but Challenges Remain
In-ovo sexing has the potential to spare at least 300 million male chicks each year in the United States from slaughter.

One of the arguments neoliberals made about "free trade" in the late 1990s, was that it would reduce military conflict. I don't think that quite bore out the way they said, but it does strike me as true that destroying the US-China trade relationship WILL make military confrontation much more likely
