Ein Witz, der angeblich in der Ukraine kursiert:
Putin stirbt und kommt in die Hölle. Wegen guter Führung darf er ein paar Tage Urlaub in Moskau machen.
Er bestellt einen Wodka in einer Bar u. fragt den Barkeeper:
„Gehört uns eigentlich die Krim?" 1/

Unofficial Russian media reports that the general assassinated in Moscow today is Lt. Gen. Alexander Maksimtsev, chief of general staff and first deputy commander of Russia’s Aerospace Forces. *No confirmation yet* In 2015, he was the commander of the Russian air component in Syria, and in his roles was responsible for many Ukrainian — and Syrian — civilian deaths. He was under European and other sanctions. Source: https://t.co/H75OWZjhZS

I've never heard this level of cautious optimism from my friends in the Ukrainian military before.

Russia is definitely losing.

A simply superb paragraph by Sam Harris.

"What has been most troubling is not only the rise in hateful acts, but the normalization of rhetoric and behaviour that would have been broadly condemned only a few years ago."

“Restoring credibility requires a return to first principles: jurisdiction first, process second; accountability within the institution; and independence that is not only real, but seen to be real.

The Court can still recover its footing. But doing so will require discipline, transparency, and a renewed commitment to the legal foundations on which it was built,” writes MLI Senior Fellow Alan Kessel for Inside Policy.

This is not World War II footage.

This is Toretsk, Ukraine — and it’s not as far away as you think.

A city that once had over 30,000 residents. Now almost completely erased.

There is no excuse for this. None.

Thank you for reminding us why we need to diversify our partnerships.

So embarrassing. Canadians, I apologize. This will not last.

Tremendous breakthrough in pancreatic cancer treatment

Through science

Hard work, rigorous research, clinical trials.

Science

Not the quack pseudoscience of social media

[Corby Zone @MissionArtist]

An old joke, newly relevant:

A Finn and a Russian are fishing on opposite sides of a river along the border between their countries. The Finn pulls fish after fish out of the water, to the Russian's growing frustration. Finally, the Russian can't bear it any more and bursts out: "How come you're getting all the fish?" The Finn replies calmly: "It's because the fish on your side are too afraid to open their mouths."

🌀 The 2026 hurricane season officially begins on Monday. Here's my top-level discussion on what to expect throughout the season and over the next couple weeks.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

You'll shortly read—if you haven't already—that a Russian missile has struck and caused huge damage in Romania, a NATO country. You'll thereafter read that it was likely a mistake and won't cause WW3.

But the strike was preceded—6 days ago—by this report: https://t.co/YoFFI7TevN

NATO to convene an emergency meeting over Russian attack on Romania.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Russia’s war of aggression has crossed yet another line.

A Russian drone incursion struck a densely populated area in Romania, injuring civilians.

On EU territory.

We stand in full solidarity with Romania and its people.

As we continue strengthening our security and deterrence, especially on our Eastern border, we will keep increasing the pressure on Russia.

We are preparing a 21st package of sanctions.
