Long before Daft Punk, there was a French group called The Droids, laying early groundwork for the robotic electronic aesthetic that would later captivate the world.

Start your day with beauty ☀️

The Palace of Culture in Iași, Romania, built between 1906 and 1925, rises majestically over the site of the old Princely Court of Moldavia.

Its iconic 55m clock tower chimes Hora Unirii every hour, turning the whole square into a living tribute to Romania’s unification ideals.

I’ll share a separate post on the song and tell you all about it later.

Good morning, everyone!

‘The Ukrainians learned to often fire just one interceptor at incoming ballistic missiles instead of the usual two or more because of shortages of the expensive American-made weapons.

They also set the Patriots to manual mode to avoid automatic firing on targets like slow-moving, inexpensive drones that could be taken down by other means.’

[Franz-Stefan Gady @HoansSolo]

Wie ich im Mai schrieb:

“Russland kann … mit seinen ballistischen Raketen in den kommenden Wochen mit Sicherheit mehr Zerstörung verursachen, und wir sollten uns auf zusätzliche Hiobsbotschaften aus den ukrainischen Städten einstellen, was Zerstörung und den unnötigen Verlust von Menschenleben betrifft.
Es wird ein harter Sommer für die Ukraine.

Doch Russlands Luftkriegskampagne gegen die Rüstungsindustrie, die kritische Infrastruktur und die Terrorbombardements gegen die Zivilbevölkerung werden zwei Sachen nicht tun: die anhaltende Pattsituation an der Front merklich zugunsten Russlands lösen und den Widerstandswillen der Ukraine brechen.”

[Christopher Miller @ChristopherJM]

Trump said the US would grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot interceptor missiles, agreeing to a significant request from Zelenskyy. But as @HoansSolo and other experts point out, “it does not solve Ukraine’s immediate challenge — simply not having enough interceptors to protect its cities against Russian ballistic missiles”.

Interesting piece by Valerii Zaluzhnyi:

He notes that Russia has “effectively lost” the war are a dangerous misreading. The front has reached rough equilibrium: Russia can’t conquer Ukraine, but Ukraine can’t fully liberate occupied land by force alone. More mutual denial rather than decisive victory. On mid/long-range strikes:

“Ukraine’s increasingly effective strikes against Russian logistics and critical infrastructure have imposed real costs on Moscow. But these attacks are expensive, technologically demanding and ultimately reciprocal. Russia retains the ability to strike back with equal or greater force. Neither side can rely on this form of warfare to produce a decisive strategic outcome.”

Porque un país no solo se defiende en el frente. También se defiende sembrando, cosechando y negándose a dejar que la guerra le robe el futuro.

Whistling jars are pottery vessels from the Chimu culture of North Coast, Peru 🇵🇪, that date back to 1000–1476 CE. They are one or two-chambered vessels that produce a bird-like chirping sound when you blow into the spout or pour liquid from one chamber to another. The jars are often decorated with bird's heads that conceal the whistle, and smaller whistles may have fingerholes to adjust the pitch. The sounds the jars make depend on their size, shape, and fluid levels. These unique instruments or shamanic tools as we will later discuss, are called whistling vessels or otherwise known in Spanish as huaco silbadors. Most of the original vessels are estimated to have been made around 500 BC – 1200 AD, and a majority of them have been found in Peru.

Although numerous pottery instruments survive from pre-Conquest South and Central America, little is known of how they were used before Spanish invaders ravaged the native cultures. Whistles, trumpets and rattles in animal or human form probably had ceremonial functions or served as playthings. The "whistling jar" is 1 or 2 chambered vessel in which a whistle, often concealed by a bird's head, is sounded by blowing into the spout, or by pouring liquid from one chamber to the other to create a bird-like twittering sound. Smaller whistles in animal shapes, perhaps worn suspended from the neck, sometimes have fingerholes that allow variation of pitch.

Whistling jars may have originated in present-day Ecuador and were later adopted by Peruvian artisans at the end of 1st Millennium BC. They may have been used for ceremonial purposes or as playthings, and may have been important during celebrations for the living. They may have also been placed in tombs at the end of rituals.

When these vessels were first found, anthropologists initially thought they were nothing more than ornate liquid containers. For many hundreds of years that is exactly what they were displayed as in many museums and private collections. Most of these vessels were found within burial grounds or sacred places, probably as offerings to those who passed or the many gods those cultures venerated, finding them in these locations confirms the sacred reverence for these objects. Many of these vessels have been dated from 500 BC to around the time of Spanish conquest of Mesoamerica in 1532. These vessels were not specific to one culture, but have been connected to a few different cultures such as Inca and Moche.

Based on findings, it seems that the clay instrument niche was extremely expansive in the pre-columbian cultures that these vessels have be found in. The process of producing this technology started with simple whistles around 2000 BC, then proceeds to advanced flutes around 1000 AD, finally the breath blown whistling vessels come right before the vessels that utilize water movement to produce sound around 500 BC. Most of these technologies and techniques were either lost or dramatically hidden after the Spanish conquest, since the sacredness of these objects and their uses was considered devil worship to the Catholic perspectives of Spanish invaders. From what we know, or have concluded based on analysis, these objects were used as shamanic tools used in ceremony by the ancient cultures who made and utilized them.
