It you’re going to read a single tweet today, let it be this one:
this is so fucking wholesome
guy used AI to save his cancer-ridden dog by sequencing its DNA and creating a CUSTOM cure.
the tech behind this is fucking awesome (well done @demishassabis and the google team):
- used CHATGPT to sequence dogs DNA discovers mutations
- ran the mutations through Google’s Alphafold (AI protein sequencer) which CREATED A CUSTOM VACCINE TO TREAT THEM.
- treated dog and reduced tumour by 50% in WEEKS. dog is alive and well.
- this is the 1st time AI has been used to create a custom vaccine for a dog (and it worked)
- dude is now working on similar vaccines for humans using AI!
2026 is definitely the year we see AI change personalised medicine in a HUGE way
so sick

Google Hennady Bilichenko, Volodymyr Rybak, Yuriy Popravka - the first victims of Donbas war. Killed in April 2014. Google Igor Strelkov (Girkin), their murderer, a Russian officer, founder of “DNR”, who admitted that it was him who started the war.
Google how many of the 14,000 killed in that war were Ukrainian soldiers. Google civilian casualties in that war in 2021, the last year before the full-scale invasion. Spoiler alert: it was 25. Mostly people who stepped on the old mines.
And if you have the courage, try to think why Putin started this horrific invasion in 2022, although the war was clearly fizzling out - and the whole world (including the EU and US) was begging him not to do it.

And it's good to bring up Syria because many of these people backed Assad and said cities needed to be barrel bombed because all the rebels were Al Qa'idah. As soon as it's not a Western govt they turn into Ben Shapiro.

Rosyjskie polowanie na ukraińskie lokomotywy. Próba oszacowania skali kryzysu.
W dniu 14 września 2026 r. ukr Minister Odbudowy, Infrastruktury i Transportu Mykoła Kałasznykow na specjalnym spotkaniu z ambasadorami UE przedstawił aktualną sytuację w funkcjonowaniu logistyki kraju w warunkach nasilających się ataków rus. W trakcie spotkania poinformowano że rus uszkodzili lub zniszczyli od 2022 r. 509 lokomotyw spółki Koleje Ukraińskie (Ukrzaliznycia). Z tego około 300 lokomotyw uległo zniszczeniu lub uszkodzeniu w ostatnich 8 miesiącach. Jednocześnie skala rus ataków wzrasta. W pierwszych dwóch tygodniach września 2026 r. rus zniszczyli lub uszkodzili 17 lokomotyw. Natomiast w lipcu - sierpniu Koleje Ukraińskie traciły 37-40 lokomotyw miesięcznie.
Aby stwierdzić jaka jest skala kryzysu z którym musi się obecnie mierzyć Ukrzaliznycia, trzeba poznać dokładną liczbę lokomotyw w dyspozycji tego państwowego monopolisty. Przypominam że podstawowy rozstaw szyn na Ukrainie wynosi 1520 mm. Jest to tzw. szeroki tor (standard rosyjski/posowiecki), czyli o 85 mm szerszy od standardowego toru europejskiego. W rezultacie zwykłe przekazanie używanych lokomotyw przez kraje UE nie wchodzi w grę. Jedyne kraje bałtyckie i Finlandia dysponuje pewną liczbą lokomotyw przystosowanych do szerokich torów.
Według zebranych przez mnie danych w lutym 2022 r. Koleje Ukraińskie dysponowały łącznie 3596 lokomotywami. Z tego:
- 550 lokomotyw pasażerskich (71 spalinowe, 479 elektryczne);
- 1258 lokomotyw manewrowych;
- 1788 lokomotyw towarowych (639 lokomotyw spalinowych, 1149 elektrycznych);
Spośród 1788 lokomotyw towarowych, w eksploatacji przed wojną znajdowało się około 970. Kolejne 648 przechodziło naprawy lub znajdowało się w tzw. rezerwie magazynowej. Kolejne 170 lokomotyw to tabor wycofany. Choć formalnie figurował on ewidencji Kolei Ukraińskich, w praktyce nie stanowił one bezpośredniej rezerwy strategicznej, ponieważ jego przywrócenie do ruchu wymagałoby ogromnych nakładów finansowych, dostępności części zamiennych oraz czasu co najmniej 1-2 lat.
Jeżeli chodzi o możliwości remontu. Koleje Ukraińskie dysponują następującymi zakładami naprawczymi:
- Lwowski Zakład Naprawy Lokomotyw (Specjalizuje się głównie w naprawach kapitalnych i modernizacjach lokomotyw elektrycznych prądu stałego i zmiennego);
- Dniepropietrowski Zakład Naprawy Lokomotyw (Główny ośrodek naprawczy dla lokomotyw elektrycznych pasażerskich i towarowych)
- Połtawski Zakład Naprawy Lokomotyw (Ośrodek skupiony na naprawach kapitalnych i modernizacjach towarowych lokomotyw spalinowych jak i manewrowych.
Był jeszcze Zaporoski Zakład Naprawy Lokomotyw Elektrycznych, ale kilka miesięcy temu przerwał pracę w wyniku rus bombardowań.
Łącznie wszystkie te zakłady odnawiały dotąd około 90-110 lokomotyw rocznie.
Reasumując. Ponieważ nie znam dokładnych danych przyjmę że z tych 509 zniszczonych dotąd lokomotyw około 300 to były lokomotywy towarowe. To około połowa rezerwy magazynowej Kolei Ukraińskich sprzed wojny. Jeżeli więc tempo strat 40 lokomotyw miesięcznie zostanie utrzymane, Kolejom Ukraińskim matematycznie zacznie brakować lokomotyw towarowych w okolicach czerwca 2027 r. Natomiast w praktyce sądzę że dojdzie do tego w okolicach marca 2027.
Jeszcze gorsza sytuacja występuje w przypadku lokomotyw pasażerskich. Jeżeli przyjmiemy że około 200 lokomotyw pasażerskich zostało zniszczonych przez rus, to już w tym momencie Koleje Ukraińskie borykają się z ich niedoborem. Natomiast w ciągu kolejnego pół roku jeżeli tempo strat zostanie utrzymane (około 90 -100 lokomotyw pasażerskich) to ukr system kolejowych przewozów pasażerskich ulegnie znacznemu ograniczeniu.

🇨🇭 I’ve gone through Switzerland’s 2026 Security Policy Strategy, and the message from Bern is pretty clear: Switzerland believes its security environment has deteriorated significantly and is preparing for a much more uncertain Europe.
The strategy describes a world becoming more fragmented and unstable, with growing rivalry between major powers, increasing pressure on the international rules-based order and a much more dangerous European security environment.
Switzerland specifically points to Russia’s war against Ukraine, Russia’s expanding war economy and the risk of a wider confrontation between Russia and NATO. It also highlights China’s growing military and global influence, increasing US-China rivalry and the fact that Europe can no longer assume the same level of US security support as in the past.
For Switzerland, the biggest concern in the coming years is hybrid warfare and long-range attacks.
That includes cyberattacks, espionage, sabotage, disinformation, influence operations, attacks against critical infrastructure, drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.
The strategy says a direct armed attack against Switzerland is unlikely in the foreseeable future, but also warns that the situation could change rapidly.
🇨🇭 Switzerland plans to strengthen critical infrastructure against sabotage and cyberattacks, improve intelligence and early-warning capabilities, modernise emergency communications, maintain and expand protective structures and prepare civil protection for armed conflict.
It also wants stronger counter-drone capabilities and better coordination between civilian authorities and the military.
On the military side, Switzerland wants to close capability gaps, increase ammunition and spare-part stocks, improve endurance and develop stronger capabilities against long-range threats.
One particularly notable measure is the planned development of a long-range offensive component as part of deterrence, allowing Switzerland to engage key systems beyond its borders if necessary.
At the same time, Switzerland says it wants significantly deeper security cooperation with NATO, the EU and European partners, including military air-situation data sharing, multinational exercises, interoperability, cooperation with NATO structures and the ability to defend itself together with partners if an armed attack exceeds its own capabilities.
The strategy also says several coordinated cyberattacks or acts of sabotage against critical functions could potentially be considered together when authorities assess whether an armed attack has occurred.

During a televised address, Lukashenko - referring to the 2020 protests - made a particularly interesting statement.
First, he accused the West of attempting to “tear Belarus away from Russia,” and then he stated (and this is the most important point) that Belarus would have suffered the same fate as Ukraine.
Lukashenko thus implicitly admits that he is forced to remain within Russia’s sphere of influence to avoid a Russian intervention.
I’ve said this privately before, but Lukashenko seems smarter and more aware of his country’s position than he might appear, and that is undoubtedly why French intelligence officials have traveled to Minsk on at least two occasions to hold discussions.
Belarus is maybe the country best positioned to act as a facilitator in any potential negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the West, since it is in communication with all three and has significant informal access to each.
In any case, this reinforces my belief that this country and its role are underestimated - and that Lukashenko is quite astute in the way he navigates between East and West.

The S-400 was never invincible, it was just expensive. Six interceptors fired, zero hits, and ten seconds later the ATACMS arrives almost vertically, inside the radar’s dead zone.
The launcher still had missiles. It just had no way to use them.
Moscovian air defense looks impressive on parade and fails the moment a trajectory turns inconvenient. And their own experts knew it back in 2021.
The 48N6 missile needs constant radar illumination. Lose the lock, lose the target.
Now they are talking about the 9M96 as the fix, but they barely have any S-350 launchers to fire it. Twelve divisions by 2027, and eight are already earmarked for Putin’s dacha.
Priorities.
Ukraine needs to outfight moscovia. to keep exploiting the gap between what moscovia claims and what it can actually defend.

A British far-right group sprayed hate graffiti on London mosques, then posted the photos. The group, Direct Action UK, was run from Russia.
Direct Action UK recruited through Telegram to make Russia-linked attacks look homegrown. Ukrainian national Illia Bilyk admitted to hitting five Muslim sites, including a primary school.
The BBC named its suspect: a 23-year-old Russian diplomat, the son of a senior Foreign Ministry official.
