Elon Musk claimed Ukraine violated Starlink terms by using commercial terminals for drone strikes, saying a loophole was closed. Ukrainian defense experts rejected the claim, citing existing velocity limits. kyivpost.com/post/88082

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Of course, we are not losing this war. But we are losing people. Because of the Russian attacks, we're losing people and time. It's such a pity, because our children don't have a real life and childhood. Not only children, but all people. That's why we need to end this war as quickly as possible. I hope that our partners, Americans and Europeans, will help us. God bless, our strong soldiers stay strong on the battlefield. It helps me stay strong during any kind of negotiations.

Chris Rock just nailed one of the biggest problems with wokeness. Helping people who feel marginalized is good. He says so himself. The trouble starts when a good cause becomes an institution. The first few witches were real. Then you open a witch office. Now there are salaries, budgets and pensions to justify, and the office needs a steady supply of witches to keep existing. That’s the trap. Once a cause becomes a career, solving the problem means losing your job. So the problem never gets solved. It just keeps getting redefined. A system built to find wrongdoing will keep finding it, whether it’s there or not.

💔 By attacking Ukraine, the Russians created the greatest tragedy in their own history. They collided with a culture whose pain threshold is very high, with people who cannot be frightened or terrorised. More than that, they do not yet know that in Ukrainian history there were countless rulers who took cruel revenge on enemies even after everything had ended. At a time when most of the peoples of Europe would have broken under that level of cruelty in which it is even hard to believe, Ukrainians, on the contrary, are motivated by injustice to fight. Ukrainians are the last romantics of Europe.
