Today marks the 40th anniversary of the tragic Chernobyl incident, which left a lasting mark on the conscience of humanity. It serves as a warning about the inherent risks in the use of increasingly powerful technologies. We entrust those who died and all who still suffer from the aftermath of the disaster to God’s mercy. I hope that discernment and responsibility will always prevail at every level of decision-making, so that every use of atomic energy may be placed at the service of life and #Peace.

@simongerman600 You missed a few languages there, mate.

Correct. Russia is our enemy because it acted in ways that MADE it our enemy. I remember in the early 1990s how giddy everyone in the West was about suddenly being able to have good relations with Russia. The overwhelming majority of Westerners felt that way. Russia need not be our enemy in the future. But for that to happen, some significant changes have to take place at home, and there absolutely must be accountability for war crimes.

Do not return to the coast or near any large bodies of water until the advisory has been lifted. Keep up-to-date on the latest information via battery-operated radio, or with the NERV Disaster Prevention app (nerv.app/en/).

The ceasefire announced in Lebanon, however, offers cause for hope; it represents a glimmer of relief for the Lebanese people and for the Levant. I encourage those who are working toward a diplomatic solution to continue peace talks, so that the cessation of hostilities throughout the Middle East may become permanent.

I am deeply saddened by the recent escalation of attacks against Ukraine, which continue to afflict civilians. I express my solidarity with those who are suffering and assure all the Ukrainian people of my prayers. I renew my appeal for weapons to fall silent and for the path of dialogue to be pursued.

The IRGC Navy attacked several commercial vessels and halted traffic in the Strait of Hormuz on April 18, likely in order to both gain leverage over the United States and consolidate the IRGC’s control over Iran’s negotiations policy as part of an internally-motivated maneuver. The IRGC appears to have intervened and reasserted Iranian “control” over the Strait of Hormuz after Araghchi announced on April 17 that the strait was open to commercial shipping. At least nine vessels exited the strait through Omani territorial waters and outside of Iran’s imposed traffic separation scheme on April 17 and early on April 18 following Araghchi’s announcement. The IRGC, however, harshly criticized Araghchi’s statement and outlined specific conditions for vessels to transit the strait that amount to Iran retaining control over maritime traffic through the strait. The IRGC Navy later announced that “no vessel of any kind” should approach the strait, or it will be targeted. The IRGC likely aims to secure leverage over the United States by halting traffic and driving up shipping and oil prices to impose economic pressure on the United States. The IRGC’s actions are also likely intended as an internal demonstration of power, designed to exhibit the IRGC’s control within the regime, particularly over Iran’s negotiation policy. The IRGC Navy likely used fast attack craft to attack and intimidate at least four vessels in order to deter vessels from transiting the strait on April 18. All of the attacked vessels appear to have been transiting along the Iran-imposed traffic separation route that forces ships through Iranian territorial waters at the time of the attacks. IRGC Navy “gunboats” fired on a likely Indian-flagged tanker east of Larak Island, and “unknown projectiles” struck a likely Iranian-flagged container ship in the same area. Reuters also reported that two vessels reported being struck by gunfire between Qeshm and Larak islands. All four vessels turned around. The IRGC also broadcast radio messages to vessels in the strait, warning them that the strait is “closed.” Numerous vessels traveling toward the strait turned around after the Iranian attacks, according to maritime tracking data. The US Navy’s blockade of Iranian ports remained in place as of April 18. US CENTCOM said that it forced two ships to turn around and return to Iran between April 17 and 18. The US Navy has forced 23 ships to turn back since the United States began the blockade. Commercially available maritime tracking data shows that Iranian-flagged tankers and cargo ships continued to transit inside the strait on March 18 after the IRGC attacks, but no Iranian vessels have attempted to approach or test the blockade line as of this writing.

Can't confirm if this is a real IRGC Navy message on VHF16... "We will open the Strait by order of our leaders, not by the tweets of some idiot..."

The European far right is increasingly worried about the stink of Trump and Vance attaching to themselves, particularly after Orban's crushing defeat and Meloni's domestically popular denunciation of Trump's Pope-bashing. These are the political parties the U.S. National Security Strategy MAGA sought to use to "cultivate resistance" to the predominant political establishments in Europe. Now some are saying, "No thanks." Marine Le Pen: “We need to keep our distance." AfD's Alice Weidel leaks the door open a crack, but note AfD opposes the U.S. war in Iran at a time when Trump is raging against NATO countries that decline to lend military assistance to open the Strait of Hormuz. Fun times ahead! politico.eu/article/trump-…

Three years ago, I said in my talks that generative AI would eventually start discovering zero-day vulnerabilities. At the time, many people dismissed the idea as unrealistic. It is no longer unrealistic.

@almurray @DeatGaming That figures it’s the French. Just did quick search. And it looks the chart might be with the fuel filter flap. Yeah the French are special sometimes. If it’s not there I’m out of clues.

@teme82 @DeatGaming Peugeot 3008

We looked everywhere. They're not there. Thanks though for all the suggestions which imply I'm an idiot for not looking.

@almurray @DeatGaming That’s just idiotic to not have those things in the car. May I ask what is the car? Just to make sure I’m not getting one.

@DeatGaming @teme82 It isn't there. I looked.

War divides; hope unites. Arrogance tramples upon others; love lifts up. Idolatry blinds us; the living God enlightens. All it takes is a little faith, a mere “crumb” of faith, in order to face this dramatic hour in history together — as humanity and alongside humanity. #Peace vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Trump lashes out at the Pope tonight, calling him "WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy."
