Keane: China dominates the U.S. militarily in the region on every platform except submarines.
But deterrence is not platform-to-platform — it is forward capability and political will to impose costs and make Beijing doubt it can succeed. 1/

Είναι κρίμα που κανένας δεν γνωρίζει την μάχη του Σκρα.
1)17 Μάιου του 1918. Στο πλαίσιο του Α' Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου, η οχυρωμένη θέση του Σκρα ντι Λέγκεν (κοντά στα σύνορα με τη σημερινή Βόρεια Μακεδονία) θεωρούνταν απόρθητη. Οι Βούλγαροι την είχαν μετατρέψει σε ένα δίκτυο από χαρακώματα, κρυφά πολυβολεία και υπόγειες στοές.

2) Η κατάληψη του Σκρα ήταν στρατηγικής σημασίας για τους Συμμάχους (Αντάντ), αλλά οι προηγούμενες γαλλικές επιθέσεις είχαν αποτύχει με βαριές απώλειες. Το βάρος της νέας, καθοριστικής επίθεσης έπεσε στις πλάτες του αναδιοργανωμένου Ελληνικού Στρατού.
3)30 Μαΐου 1918 (17 Μαΐου με το παλαιό ημερολόγιο): Ώρα 04:55 π.μ. Το ελληνικό πεζικό (Μεραρχίες Αρχιπελάγους, Κρήτης και Σερρών), υπό τη διοίκηση του Αντιστράτηγου Εμμανουήλ Ζυμβρακάκη, εξορμά. Η ιαχή «Αέρα!» δονεί το βουνό μέσα στο πρώτο φως της ημέρας.

A Quatrain Poem🧵in 10 parts
Shuaib was sent to guide Madyan’s “People of the Woods,”
who lived by a trade route near the Dead Sea selling goods.
He told them to fear Allah and stop selling goods with lies,
to earn Lawful money and to believe in Allah was more wise.

Shuaib told them not to bow to idols of stones and trees,
to stop Shirk, be honest and good, and Allah try to please.
Shuaib was the “Khatibul Anbiya,” and gave great speeches,
but evil ones joked; “We don’t understand what he teaches!”

Allah sent Prophet Abraham’s nephew (Lot) to guide Palestine,
to Sodom and its’ seven Cities, where disbelievers did evil crimes.
The Cities were near a trading route used by everybody,
but thugs used to mug there, stealing in daylight robbery.

The Sodomites used to cheat, steal and lie without any shame,
doing nasty things never done before, more evil they became.
Lot tried to guide them to be good and follow Allah’s Way,
but they carried on sinning quite gaily, and chose to disobey.

FLASH: Justice Dept confirms it is establishing $1.776 billion fund "for victims of lawfare and weaponization to be heard and seek redress"
Fund will have five members and "issue formal apologies and monetary relief owed to claimants"
Fund will have five members and "issue formal apologies and monetary relief owed to claimants"
Justice Dept defends $1.776 billion fund by saying, "There is legal precedent for such a Fund, most notably the Keepseagle case where the Obama Admin. created a $760 million fund to redress various claims alleging racism against the federal government over a period of decades"
And there it is:
About $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded pot of $$
Justice Dept says, "Fund will consist of a Commission of five members appointed by the Attorney General. One Member will be chosen in consultation with congressional leadership. The President can remove any member"

1/ On 25–26 Nov 2025 2 boar infected with African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) were found within 1 km of each other in Catalonia, one a few hundred meters from BSL3 facility IRTA-CReSA (Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentàries - Centre de Recerca en Sanitat Animal)
2/ The facility is located at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and works with ASFV. Given this is the first ASF outbreak in 30 years in Spain, and there are no current outbreaks in neighboring France, IRTA-CReSA is an obvious candidate source of the outbreak

SubhanAllah… today I learned something that shifted my entire perspective.

“What is ibadah?”
Most of us answered:
“Salat, dhikr, Quran.”
He said: No

ibadah is to live for Allah…not just pray to Him.
I went home and realized something that broke me:
I don’t live for Allah. I only visit Him

I went home and realized something that broke me:

I visit Him at Fajr… then disappear.
I stand before Him in ṣalāh then spend the rest of my day forgetting Him. I remember Him in hardship but rely on myself in ease.
That’s not ibadah.

LLM Assistant personas like being helpful, evil personas like being harmful. We found that a single direction represents helping as good under the Assistant, and ‘harm’ as good under evil.
We train a linear probe to predict pairwise task choices in Gemma-3-27B and Qwen-3.5-122B, and find that the resulting direction behaves like a preference vector.
The direction captures a general valence axis:
• It generalises to other preferences such as true v false statements, and tracking prompted preference shifts (“you adore cheese” → cheese tasks score higher).
• It controls pairwise choice through steering

Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it!" On May 17, 1980, volcanologist David Johnston volunteers to take over the observation post at Mount St. Helens as his colleague Harry Glicken, who had manned the post the previous two weeks, has to return to California ...
The Coldwater II observation post was located along an old logging road on a crest 6 miles (10 km) away providing an unobstructed view of the rumbling volcano and its inflating northern side ...
Coldwater II touched the red exclusion zone and despite some concerns, it was considered a safe location if the volcano erupted with a vertical eruption column. However, like Johnston feared, the volcano produced a powerful lateral blast ...

The letter says that since the strikes are "defensive in character...they do not meet the threshold requiring a prior parliamentary vote."
It is absurd that they are still maintaining this fiction. There is nothing defensive about helping US warplanes bomb Iran. [2/4]

Worry feels useful because at least you are doing something.
But Brewer calls worry a mental behavior.
It gives brief relief, then feeds the same loop it promised to solve.

ТТХ озброєння і особливості бойових дій здатні змінити те, що довгий час вважалося чимось само собою зрозумілим. Одразу після окупації Криму, росіяни бажали отримати сухопутний коридор до півострова. Роками ця смуза землі була досить глибоким і відносто безпечним тилом. 1
Разом з автомобільними та залізничними шляхами і азовськими портами контроль на півднем Донецької, Запорізької та Херсонської областей забезпечив росіянам великі логістичні можливості. Донецька агломерація продовжує бути базою для ведення подальшого наступу в Донецькій області та надалі на Дніпропетровщину. Маріуполь і Бердянськ також логістичні вузли з портами.
