One argument for the US maintaining close military ties to Ukraine is that Ukrainians are now among the most advanced innovators of modern drone warfare. There's a strong argument that this is the future of military conflict and Kyiv is on the cutting edge. www.npr.org/2025/06/01/n...

Here is my personal philosophy, based on several decades of watching publishers go under: the moment a publisher is late on money because they don't have it, they are the enemy and your goal is to get your rights back.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

Right, the Ukrainian attack on Russia this weekend isn’t really a story about sudden technological innovation in the form of drones (they largely used tools that have been around for a while), it’s a story about a strategically brilliant and patient use of existing tools

Armed FBI agents knocked on the doors of two pub defenders at SEVEN AM, asking to talk w them, having made no earlier effort to reach out. Both PDs represented ppl detained by ICE. FBI said they “wanted to reach out before work.” Which is nakedly not true. HARASSING DEFENSE LAWYERS IS REALLY BAD.
