Life advice nobody told you: Build momentum early in the day. One small win in the morning creates energy that compounds throughout the day. 10 minutes of reading. A quick workout. A finished task. Great days are built on tiny wins that ripple. Small things become big things.
Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.
There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.
Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.
Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:
There is a total established link between power, political power, capital, tech giants and AI. And the purpose of this is undermining democracy.
That's the goal because the people who are developing this stuff are against democracy.
I met Sam Altman a couple of years ago. I spent hours with him and at the end of the discussion I said to him, "You have created a monster."
And he said, "Yes, and now it's up to you to find out how to deal with it."
⚫️ Russia is failing in its war on every front - military, political and economic. Unable to match Ukraine’s creativity and innovation on the battlefield, it continues to escalate brutal attacks against civilians.
Let the facts sink in:
⚫️ On 13–14 May, Russia launched its largest attack yet against Ukrainian civilians and children: 1567 long-range drones ➕ 56 missiles. Among the 39 killed are three girls. Among the 175 injured are first responders, wounded in “double-tap” strikes. 🩸
⚫️ More civilians were killed and injured in the first four months of 2026 than during the same period in any of the previous three years.
⚫️ Last week alone, Russia carried out two targeted attacks against clearly marked @UN 🇺🇳 humanitarian convoys.
🇱🇻 Latvia condemns in the strongest possible terms Russia’s escalating attacks against civilians and #UN humanitarian personnel - grave and unforgivable violations of international law.
❗️Facts and evidence will not bend to the fantasies of Russian leadership.
⚖️ There must and will be accountability for these crimes and atrocities. The Special Tribunal is waiting.
❗️The solition for Russia is simple: end the war, withdraw from the internationally recognised territory of 🇺🇦Ukraine, agree to a genuine ceasefire, and peace 🕊️ can begin.

AI is not replacing creativity.
It’s raising the standard for it.
Because when output becomes easy, the difference is no longer what we create, but how deeply we think.
Russian-owned refinery in Ireland. Hundreds of millions € of alumina shipped to Russia every year turns into aluminium for their weapons. Now they threaten: sanction us and Irish homes lose power.
This is the cost of letting the Kremlin own strategic infrastructure on EU soil.
Now 🇸🇪 is donating 16 Gripen C/D fighters with armaments to 🇺🇦, and 🇺🇦 will in addition procure up to 20 Gripen E/F fighters later. This will be a very significant long term augmentation of the 🇺🇦 defence capabilities.
Kaja Kallas is saying out loud what many European leaders quietly understand:
A united Europe is one of the few entities on Earth large enough to resist pressure from Washington, Moscow and Beijing at the same time.
That’s exactly why extremists, oligarchs and foreign influence networks work so hard to keep Europe fragmented, paranoid and internally divided.
Empires prefer neighbors.
Not rivals.
A 12-year-old Ukrainian boy saved his siblings by doing something many soldiers fail to do under pressure.
Anatolii Prokhorenko grabbed a fiber-optic cable connected directly to Russia and stopped a drone seconds before it hit children playing near his house, The WP. 1/
WATCH: In a jaw-dropping statement, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has declared that "supporting Ukraine is not only a moral duty but also a strategic necessity, because at stake is not only the dignity, freedom, and independence of Kyiv but also the security of Europe."
Russia is stupidly provoking WWIII by resisting the Great Power of Ukraine. Putin should stop the killing and give up territory for peace. Thanks for tuning in to the latest episode of Realist Geopolitics.
Why is Putin finally talking about his invasion of Ukraine coming to an end? Because drone technology has allowed Ukraine to dominate the frontlines, killing more Russian soldiers than the Kremlin is able to recruit.
In my opinion, yesterday a turning point in the war took place.
Perhaps we still do not fully grasp the significance of what happened.
For the first time, Putin publicly showed his weakness and inability to independently protect his capital, his parade, and himself from our strikes. Because of this, a frightened Putin was forced to publicly humiliate himself and ask Trump, as a mediator, to help stop a strike on Moscow.
De facto, Putin asked Trump to protect him from the Ukrainians.
I consider President Zelenskyy’s order a brilliant informational slap in the face and an additional public humiliation.
It is obvious that before and during the parade, Putin was physically afraid - he felt vulnerable and threatened.
Putin publicly appeared weak and humiliated, and in Russia’s "prison-style" political culture, such things are not forgiven.
A weak "tsar," mocked by everyone, cannot remain a tsar in Russia.
These are very, very hard times for Ukraine. However, Ukraine is strong, resilient, and continues the fight.
Slava Ukraini!
Macron hat Trump gerade heftig angegriffen: „Dieser Trump redet ununterbrochen Unsinn, und das führt immer zu echten Konflikten. Wir in Frankreich zahlen jeden Tag für einen Krieg, den wir nie wollten, der aber von einem Narren begonnen wurde.
