Cutting EU Regulation Is A Gift To China’s Carmakers cleantechnica.com/2025/06/03/c...

Very cool that a verified Twitter account apparently claiming to rep DHS has gotten thousands of retweets of its claim of civil war after sharing a stock photo of bricks. bsky.app/profile/roth...

Anders Puck Nielsen makes sum-up of the war 1. Russian summer offensive has started 2. Sumy must be protected or it becomes human safari city 3. Air war is changing - being only on defence will not be enough Thank you @anderspucknielsen.dk for your latest video 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCE2...

A good illustration of how wrong the "Ru retaliates" narrative is. Any self-respecting journalist should pin this and remind themselves to never fall in this trap again.

Bellingcat repeated their experiment of a few years ago in LLM photo geolocation but using modern models. "…in urban settings, LLMs excelled at cross-referencing subtle details, whereas Google Lens tended to fixate on larger, similar-looking structures…" www.bellingcat.com/resources/ho...

Couldn't agree more with this @adamtooze.bsky.social banger. "The scandal is not that European defence budgets have not already doubled. The scandal is that Europe spends so much and gets so little for it." The European defense enterprise is a total mess. www.ft.com/content/f450...

Excellent, concise assessment of the strikes by @hoanssolo.bsky.social foreignpolicy.com/2025/06/04/u...

Where is the global outrage? Where are the actions? On June 6th 2023, at this very time russians blew up Kakhovka HPP dam. #Ukraine #UkrainianView

A 5oz glass of wine has 123 calories, which is burned by 25 minutes of walking ∴ if you take about an ounce worth of sips every 5 minutes, these activities cancel out perfectly.

Trump is outraged that Ukraine struck legitimate military targets inside Russia. 🤦‍♂️

Europe is back as a global superpower. Welcome to the age of multipolarity, It didn't have to happen. Link in replies 👇

If the future is electric, China is building a big advantage quickly.

The problem of false AI-generated satellite (remote sensing) imagery intelligence. Important 🧵 There is another, associated problem: the use of AI to interpret satellite imagery. It used to be the sole preserve of skilled and gifted human analysts. Can AI automation pick up or miss an AI fake?

An independent open source 'Energy Optimization System' looks like it has enormous potential not only for the electrified prosumer but also for amplitude damping in the grid, decreasing the volatility of renewables etc. CC @adrianhiel.bsky.social

A big step for the EU 🇪🇺 ⤵️ Don’t underestimate us. Thank you @profjacob.bsky.social

🚨🚨 Big #EUdefence news: @consilium.europa.eu endorse €150 billion SAFE defence loan instrument to boost European defence capabilities. 🧵 ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

I think we can also gather that it is unhealthy to be bombed by Russia.

Important and concerning article about the struggle of Ukrainian Air defence. There is a surge in difficult to intercept balistic missiles, drone(-tactic)s are evolving and there is a shortage of interceptors.

Trump's assault on universities is act of self-harm that will undermine US long-term interests • Funding cuts will slash government spending on research, making US less attractive for top-notch researchers • Uncertainty around visas will deter world's brightest minds from applying to US universities

Can't comment on the policy zigzag of Trump's trade policy, but for international politics a noteworthy point is that Trump has accepted the EU Commission as the negotiator and directly engaged with vdL. (Maybe he'll even become the federalists' hero if he insist on calling the EU a 'country').

China's exports to Russia 1-4/2025 vs 1-4/2024 Total -6% Chemicals and plastics +6% Textiles and footwear -5% Metals +2% Machinery +9% Electrical equipment -6% Vehicles -45% Other +13% Russia's protectionist measures re:Chinese passenger cars really hitting trade

Russia unfortunately is adapting so this kind of interception with machine guns is getting more difficult. Numbers of ballistic missiles are also rising and intercepting those those is another beast entirely. Patriot (and SAMP/T) support is crucial! www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

A good tip. Even better would be to stop using search engines of US companies, despite their capabilities. @qwant.bsky.social is fine for most (but not yet all) searches. Re social media, we should all be building our profiles on Mastodon. Bluesky, a US corporation, acts in good faith... for now.

The implications on Russias budget and war is one thing, but letting the shadow fleet continue to operatw is also just waiting for an environmental disaster to happen. Accident or "accident" doesn't matter once the oil is spilt.

Shadow tanker FALCON has no flag, no insurance, 13 deficiencies including structural ones. Turns off her AIS to hide the fact that she slings LPG from Russia. Entered Baltic Sea an hour ago. Src: equasis.org, marinetraffic.com, @maritimekiwi.bsky.social

Comprehensive video by @anderspucknielsen.dk on Putin's war goals and why they basically cannot be achieved. russia needs the war to assure itself of it's great power status. Anything offered atm would basically end this status (economic woes, EU rearmarment) youtu.be/OWVPYr9e76Y?...

Spanish intelligence says Russia pumped out misinformation to exploit the floods in Valencia in 2024 in a bid to destabilise public order. Russia is now looking to take advantage of any sudden crisis anywhere. This is asymmetric war.
