The videos from the latest Ukrainian attack on Moscow are wild. Though the funniest has got to be how Russian anti-air defense seems to have blown up an oil tank: The only Russian anti-air defenses proven to work. Tower cranes:

Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile en route to Cheboksary, Russia: That thing is huge, 40ft long, with no stealth. You can just imagine the (remaining) Russian radar operators...

“Video with subtitles of yesterday’s attempted beheading of a young British man by a Somali migrant in Belfast. It’s a hard watch but Europeans must see it. Those who intervened and smashed a shovel over the attackers’ head are heroes They most likely saved that young man’s life” https://x.com/i/status/2064303968973394213 Guarantee you that the UK will extend their on-device "nudity filters" to preventing videos like this from being shared.

What did they call the man who combined his love of artistic expression with his skill in electrical engineering? Power Banksy

Bitcoin^H^H^H Martial Law fixes this.

Nice video of two Ukrainian fixed wing, medium range, drones taking out a Russian truck deep within occupied Ukraine. The first one doesn't work. But the second... This is a new development. It's looking like Ukraine will be able to shutdown the main highway through occupied Ukraine from Russia to Crimea, leaving only the Crimea bridge as an option.

Student, 21, took own life after suffering from ‘delusions from B12 deficiency caused by her vegan diet’, coroner rules

A cautionary tale... Humans can not survive on a vegan diet without artificial supplementation of vitamin B12. Without modern biochem technology humans simply must eat animal products to survive.

~7000 Gazans _directly_ participated in the Oct 7th massacre. Gaza's military age (15-35) male population is only ~350,000. So ~2% of that population _directly_ participated in a self-destructive orgy of rape and murder. These low-IQ psychopaths must never have a state again.

Rare depiction of the savagery of the American natives.

A recent video of a mother with her child in Kramatorsk, Eastern Ukraine. She's hiding from Russian FPV drones: This is a new development. Previously Russia didn't have the range, and wasn't close enough, to threaten Kramatorsk with FPV drones much. Unfortunately this is gradually changing. Friends of mine are in that area, holding Russia back. They're the ones keeping that mother and child safe. One of the soldiers I know recently paid $1800 of his own money to get another vehicle that they need. I'm trying to get him paid back, and get funds for more vehicles. So far I've gotten 726,360sats (~$586 USD):

Ukraine is doing really well right now winning the war on the economic front, by destroying tens of billions of dollars of Russian oil infrastructure. But the ground war is a brutal game of holding ground and minimizing losses, and they need all the help they can get. I know these soldiers myself, and have seen first hand the good work they're doing with the ₿ donations I've gotten for them:

Wild footage from Tuapse, Russia, of houses 200m away from the tank farm burning up from spilled oil that the firefighters have failed to contain: Ukraine's attacks on this port have been spectacularly successful. Ukraine will win this war through the destruction of the Russian economy as long as the western world helps them. Yes, this has been fully geo located:

South Africa, a country whose politics is mainly about stealing wealth from whites, also wants to steal wealth from Bitcoiners. I'm shocked. Shocked I said! View quoted note →

Solar farms might double as water generators in arid landscapes

Scientists say giant solar panels could trigger rainfall in deserts and even supply water for thousands of people

“The researchers modeled solar panels as nearly black surfaces that absorb 95% of incoming sunlight.” It's hilarious how easy it is to debunk this article. Typical solar panels convert about 15% to 25% of the incoming light into electricity while operating. That's energy that is removed from that location entirely, and re-released somewhere else. This is one reason why putting solar panels on your roof can keep your house cooler. It is physically impossible for efficiently operating solar panels to absorb 95% of the incoming sunlight.
