This tells European countries much to the stance of Russian geopolitics.

note: Russian shares borders and seas with a number of European countries.

Kremlin:

European representatives will not be invited to the negotiating table on Ukraine.

@Dreadknight25 @Hilbe EPA is fixated on its “test cycle” process that is conducted on dynamos, woth no real aerodynamic motion. (budget constraints, and legacy grandfathering)

A chart like this is assembled from constant speed (power) testing. It’s only way to capture real-world EV performance data.

Taylor Jordan, head of the Office of Space Commerce, says at the Economist's space summit today that his office received more than 40 responses to a call for interest in testing the new Space Commerce Certification framework. The office is now reviewing them to select a few to go through a pilot phase.

@SciGuySpace Lunar surface has much potential, but is much more hostile environment and more expensive than LEO.
There’s need host lunar simulations in LEO. (hardware, research)

This all makes the post-ISS story/era very interesting.
The 2030s will be fascinating for space enthusiasts!

5/5

[Brian_Henderson @brian_henderson]

@SciGuySpace DeltaV from LEO to cis-lunar is less than from Earth’s surface. Big advances for on-orbit comm, electric power pre-2030.

Commercial space needs test, research facilities in LEO.

At some level international geopolitical support is required to ensure LEO not monopolized.

Planet X ?!

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

Current measurements show an absolute magnitude of 2.9 which makes it brighter, and potentially larger than Ceres. But further observations are needed across the spectrum to get a better handle on its properties. This will be another mini world on the edge of our solar system

@brandenflasch That’s really odd. Using a NACS connector on the end of a cable is so much easier physically to align and plugin.

The new @IONNAofficial #rechargery in Kent, WA is so popular that even the non-#EVs want to hang out here!

Suggestion: include Washington state approved signage in addition to IONNA signage at all #WA locations.

Claude Code found every "vanishing" photo from Instagram and every "self-destructing" message from Telegram on my iPhone. both apps promise the content disappears after you view it. neither one actually deletes it.

i plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run the same backup audit from my last post. Claude Code flagged two folders i had no idea existed.

the first one was Instagram. a cache directory with every single photo and video anyone ever sent me in vanish mode. every "this will disappear after you close the chat" photo from the last 2 years. 11,400 files. all still there. all viewable.

the second one was Telegram. every self-destruct photo. every secret chat image with a timer on it. every video someone sent me that said "this message will self-destruct in 10 seconds." 3,700 files going back to 2022. not one of them actually self-destructed.

what was in those folders:

→ vanish mode photos from my ex that were supposed to disappear the second i closed the chat
→ self-destruct videos from a friend that had a 5 second timer on them
→ photos i received and never even opened that still got cached
→ voice messages from Telegram secret chats set to auto-delete after 30 seconds

15,100 files in total across both apps. every single one was supposed to be gone forever.

the apps remove the message from your chat. your phone keeps the file. any app with file access can read it.

i checked my permissions. 31 apps with Files and Folders access. weather apps. QR scanners. free PDF readers. a calculator app i downloaded in 2021. any one of them could have been looking at every "disappeared" photo i ever received this entire time.

the check takes 2 minutes:

step 1 → plug your iPhone into your Mac → run a backup
step 2 → paste the prompt from the first reply into Claude Code
step 3 → it scans every cached file that should have been deleted → shows you the total count by app
step 4 → go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Files & Folders → revoke access from every app you don't use daily

i went from 31 apps to 4 in two minutes.

and if you ever sent a vanish mode photo to someone else → their phone cached it too. there is no disappearing message. there never was.

save the prompt. check it today not tomorrow.

ALL the concerns pre-Y2K with software quality and cybersecurity are now reality in 2026.

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

We will wish we had listened to these warnings before the massive attack that is coming. To summarize: all code has bugs, continuous attacks by thousand of AI agents guarantees that they WILL eventually find their way into any website/database/system. So we need a new way of thinking about defense.

It’s Elon Musk … all the way down.

Talarico: "Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. We just found out that the richest man in the world is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the Senate and defeat the movement that we are building. In all likelihood, if you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

Fix-wing aircraft are 4x more efficient than VTOL rotorcraft.

Great demo by this electric fixed-wing aircraft. #ElectrifyEverything #STOL

[FLYING Magazine @FlyingMagazine]

An airplane just landed at a heliport. In lower Manhattan. That is the @ElectraAero EL-2, the ultra-short takeoff and landing prototype aircraft. CEO Marc Allen said Monday it was the first time the manufacturer has shown the EL2’s capabilities publicly in such an environment.
