A sort of lazy collage I made of actors reading ww1 poetry mixed with lo-fi.
Pretty niche.

This is my point.
I dont care how cool your product is.
I want to know you can produce it in serious amounts when your logistics is under fire.

Anything else is security theatre that we cannot afford.

Only trust those building in Ukraine.

Alarm. Alarm. The governor of Belgorod region has urged residents to “properly assess the situation” and secure alternative energy sources amid ongoing power outages.

Lights off, Belgorod.

Both Germany and us.
At one point we said cyber actions could be seen as military threats. We need an outcomes based assessment of threat, not judge it based on the medium.
Though sadly you cant blast these out of orbit. Though you could 'accidentally' fry them.

Russian satellites have been stalking British military satellites on a weekly basis, Major General Paul T Tedman, Commander of UK Space Command, told the BBC.

The Russian satellites have “got payloads on board that can see our satellites and are trying to collect information from them.”

@prestonstew.bsky.social did an interesting cover of what appears to me to be Trumps planned morality police.
It all depends who gets to judge what is extreme.

Indeed.
Safe nest first.
Housing crisis underpins almost everything.
When a house costs 3-5 years salary again, the shift will change the economy and lead to more spending power for childcare etc.

Did you notice trump drew western tradition "from sparta to rome, the british empire to the united states"?
Is that common?
verivir.bsky.social
Did you notice he drew his historical lineage from sparta not greece?

Thats how democracy works, vote em out. The key is persuading others that theres someone better. Or moving to a place with better voters.

His self admiration needs to be blurred its so pornographic.

He just wants these generals to tell him he is a good boy.

The daddy issues are palpable.

"I would have cut my prices. I would have taken from you every customer you had. I would have given the public a better product at a lower price, and I would have driven you out of business"
Except we dont get that better product. Largely temu shows what happens in an unregulated market.

From what I see, countries that have the ID card arent better on illegal work nor is there any evident economic boom.
Im always yammering on about how much id prefer a social media site that you can only use by proving you are human, so Im not against government id, but IDs arent a fix for crime.

Indeed. Have friends from there. Does sometimes feel like if influence operations were conducted by steel robots we might actually pay attention and do more.
I mean because we would have a visual that triggers us more, even though the outcome us the same.
Not my best made point but still valid.
verivir.bsky.social
Damn, interesting.

I get the intention and presser, but what does the data say? Its not like we dont have countries that have it.
We should be asking:

Is illegal migration less in france/italy/NL etc?
Is illegal work less?
Is their economy performing better?
Is ID theft lower?
Is our cyber security record good?

It bugs me that I seem to be on the same side as some reform voters.
But i just need to see the overall data that the notion works.
All we have is what it is intended to do. As if we have no examples to look at.
Hell, id take a government id based social media website.
But they need to show me data.
verivir.bsky.social
A mish mash. But it doesnt seem to impact gdp or illegal immigration or whatever if you have it centralised or not, ergo, seems like its not as key as other things we should focus on.

Obviously I think we are reasonably disabused of the ideo that the US is going to do anything. But they did open the shop to the defenders. Now they are verbally supporting Ukraines right to its legal borders - though still in a law of the jungle way.
Ukraine has the right and will to defend itself.

Looks like the meeting with Zelenskyy was a good one. Trump now backs Ukraine’s 1991 borders instead of offering up Crimea to Putin.

After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option.
Why not? Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like "a paper tiger." When the people living in Moscow, and all of the Great Cities, Towns, and Districts all throughout Russia, find out what is really going on with this War, the fact that it's almost impossible for them to get Gasoline through the long lines that are being formed, and all of the other things that are taking place in their War Economy, where most of their money is being spent on fighting Ukraine, which has Great Spirit, and only getting better, Ukraine would be able to take back their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go further than that! Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act. In any event, I wish both Countries well. We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all!

NATO chief Mark Rutte said shooting down the Russian MiGs that entered Estonian airspace was not necessary, but warned that if required NATO will do what is needed.

I wonder what the cost is of such delays.
Not bad for a 250 quid drone.

Copenhagen airport halted operations after drones were spotted, forcing at least 15 flight diversions.

Hours later, drones triggered an alert over Oslo’s Akershus Fortress, where police detained two Singaporeans. Both airports resumed operations by the morning of September 23.
