🦅🇺🇦 Ministry of Defense announced the introduction of a new model of warfare - drone assault units, which combine drones and infantry into a single system.

This approach has already shown results in the south, where a large amount of territory has been liberated since February.

I wonder what will be the going rate for indulgences?

@ItsBCJim The bad part of getting older is that you become an NPC, the good part is that being an NPC rocks. Nothing like walking down the street with a thought bubble that's just a sandwich you're looking forward to. Protagonism is best left to teens and the insane

Could we be heading toward a separate American papacy? It's not the first time there’ve been two popes. Perhaps Trump could appoint himself head of the American Catholic church and start handing out indulgences.

I’m getting somewhat exasperated by people using the phrase “war crimes” as though it’s actionable. Unless the perpetrators are arrested by the war police, tried in a war court by a war judge, found guilty by a war jury, and sent to war prison, it’s just propaganda.

Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is smiling and touching Spock's chest for some reason. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones stand close and all seem thrilled to see him, but are otherwise practicing self control and not feeling his chest. Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.

He is risen

Thought of the day — I may be the last human to ever look at some of the code I’ve written.

My president told me Iranians keep shooting down his planes so I asked how many planes he has and he said he just goes to the airbase and gets a new one so I said it sounds like he’s just serving up planes to the Iranians and then his vice president started crying.

When the president says Iran’s forces are decimated I can only assume he’s using the word’s original meaning of reducing by 1/10th.

There are now 10 toilets in Space

International Space Station: 4
Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1
Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1
Tiangong Space Station: 2
Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1
Artemis II on way around Moon: 1

This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

He felt he was not being well served by his surrogates promoting him and so decided the country needed a direct injection of pure Trump for a boost.

Ex-term-in-ate!

I Built the World's Largest Translated Cuneiform Corpus using AI TL;DR I used a custom-trained Large Language Model (T5) to create the world’s largest online corpus of translated cuneiform texts. It’s called the AICC (AI Cuneiform Corpus) and contains 130,000 AI tr...

Seems like it’s trying to avoid you.

My secret hope is that AI companies spend prodigious amounts of money on renewables over the next couple of years to sate their energy demands but then go bankrupt leaving the world a better place with excess clean power.

overlooking a series of circular water filled tanks of a sewage treatment plant at night. lights line a long brick building on the horizon as a blue-black sky is stark behind a veil of thin puffy clouds in the distance.

good night, sewers.
good night, streams.
good night, operations and maintenance teams.
good night, settling tanks.
good night, stream banks.
good night, engineers, scientists, crews, managers, inspectors, analysts too.
a good night for us means serving with care.

good night, sewers, everywhere.

The traditional model of a steady, linear climb in global temperatures is increasingly at odds with observations. We've relied on the ocean’s ability to act as a storage buffer for thermal energy. Recent data on Ocean Stratification indicates this buffer is undergoing a mechanical decoupling.

Time series plot depicting predicted Nino 3.4 region ocean temperature anomalies from the latest (Mar 2026) ECMWF ensemble. It depicts an extremely rapid rise in such temperatures, from modest negative anomalies to strong positive anomalies, by mid-summer 2026--indicative of a transition from weak-moderate La Nina conditions to moderate-strong El Nino conditions over just a few months.

Whew.

All signs are increasingly pointing to a significant, if not strong to very strong, El Niño event. I'll have more to say in coming weeks & months, but for now I'll just say that this is increasingly likely to become a major regional-to-global climate driver in 2026-2027.

Isaacman proposed a private mission to reboost using a Dragon capsule but NASA said it was too dangerous and vetoed it a couple of years ago. Maybe that will change now that he’s in charge.

Because it's been a while, here is an update of my plot on the altitude of the Hubble Space Telescope versus time

Secure your own squid first before helping others.
