Netherlands and the ocean, both blooming.
Zoom in to see the tulips' colours on the land, and the phytoplankton swirl of blue & green in the sea.
The tulips adorn vases around the world, and the phytoplankton (algae & bacteria) convert sunlight and CO2 into organic matter which sustains nearly all marine life.
Life is beautiful.

@CWLemoine See:

In statement, @CENTCOM spokesman Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins says:

"We are aware of reports that a U.S. F-35 aircraft conducted an emergency landing at a regional U.S airbase after flying a combat mission over Iran. The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition. This incident is under investigation."

I asked whether CNN's reporting that it's believed the jet was hit with Iranian fire is true.

Centcom officials decline to say either way.

This morning, we gathered at NATO to mark the 4th anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

NATO stood with Ukraine 🇺🇦 from the beginning.

We stand with you today.

And we will stand with you throughout the challenges ahead.

Een grote eer om vandaag ten overstaan van koning Willem-Alexander te zijn beëdigd als staatssecretaris van Digitale Economie en Soevereiniteit. Een belangrijke taak, met voor het eerst alle digitale onderwerpen in één portefeuille.

The UK, Sweden, France, Germany and The Netherlands are confident that Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin.

We and our partners will make use of all policy levers at our disposal to continue to hold Russia to account.

In the High North, NATO naval forces remain present, vigilant, and ready. ❄️

@CalibreObscura Another update / plot twist (we need them here as well):

[Ministerie van Defensie @Defensie]

Defensie koopt 100 radars die vroegtijdig waarschuwen voor naderende drones. De eerste exemplaren worden morgen al geleverd. De systemen zijn in staat om drones te onderscheiden van vogels en andere bewegende objecten: https://t.co/96ZzqysrlM

Even before the 9/11 attacks, Col. Richard "Rick" Rescorla was a decorated war hero with a Silver Star from his actions in Vietnam.

24 years ago today, Rescorla saved 2,687 people and paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Here’s how it happened. 🧵

[Mark Rutte @SecGenNATO]

An honour to be back in the White House to meet with my good friend, the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump
NATO is strong. And together we’re making it even stronger.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.

None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.

We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.

We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.

Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.

Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.
