The Naval Forces, Special Operations Forces, and Unmanned Systems Forces carried out strikes on military facilities in Sevastopol. As a result of the operation, in the area of Fiolent Highway, the Innovation Center of the Granit production and technical enterprise was hit. The facility is part of the Almaz-Antey concern, where Russian air defense systems are repaired and serviced.

Mono-culture farming devastates the rest of nature. Farmlands continue to lose much of their wildlife, bees, birds, insects, amphibians. But each generation measures "normal" nature against what existed in their childhood; not what existed before. So we don't mourn the Auroch, Quagga, Eastern Elk, or drained wetland. We never knew them. We each inherit a slightly emptier world & call it normal, a shifting baseline syndrome. Humans are remarkably adaptive... dangerously so.

❗️Ukraine Context: Today, the Russian spring-summer offensive has actually begun near Lyman. 2 tanks, 5 armored personnel carriers, 7 infantry fighting vehicles and over 40 buggies and quadricycles were destroyed. Hundreds of 200s and 300s.

Fishermen? No, these are barbaric Chinese, trained in guerrilla warfare. They are desperately fighting to continue to illegally operate in South Korea's waters & catch maximum fish from South Korean waters. South Korea taught China that everyone must obey the law.

Trump has killed America. It was already dying but the chimp has put the cushion over its face. Fed Chair Jerome Powell gives the bad news: "There is effectively ZERO NET JOB CREATION in the private sector."

🔥 L’armée ukrainienne frappe fort près de Stepnogorsk ! Les forces spéciales ukrainiennes (GUR) viennent de réaliser une opération audacieuse : une attaque surprise sous le brouillard, en pleine nuit, pour reprendre des positions clés aux Russes. Résultat ? Aucune perte ukrainienne, des ennemis neutralisés ou capturés, et une victoire tactique majeure. Comment ils ont fait ? - Préparation minutieuse : 2 semaines d’entraînement intensif. - Conditions météo exploitées : brouillard, humidité, et variations de température pour avancer en silence. - Technique de diversion : utilisation de véhicules à roues (plus silencieux que les chenilles) pour tromper l’ennemi et s’approcher sans être détectés. - Démineurs en action : drones et robots pour déminer le chemin avant l’assaut. Un soldat du GUR, surnommé "Sviat", raconte : "On est passés à côté des positions russes sans qu’ils entendent quoi que ce soit. Chaque occupant sur cette zone a été éliminé ou capturé." Et ce n’est pas tout… - Le 18 mars, des drones ukrainiens ont aussi frappé une base russe à Donetsk, ciblant le centre "Rubicon" (spécialisé dans les drones). - Le 14 mars, c’était la flotte russe qui prenait un coup : deux navires de la traversée de Kertch touchés par les forces spéciales. L’Ukraine montre encore qu’elle peut frapper là où ça fait mal. 💥 24tv.ua/nastup-zaporiz… dialog.ua/war/vsu-poshli…

Heritage’s OWN data: noncitizen voting <0.0001% (over 40 years). Not enough to swing even close races. Trump tried to prove fraud: • 62 lawsuits • 61 lost/dropped • 1 meaningless procedural win Our elections ARE secure. Tell your Senators - vote NO on the SAVE Act!

The NY Times continues to erroneously call the SAVE Act a "voter I.D. bill." I did a deep dive into its history and explain that ID was only added this year and is nots it core. Stop spreading GOP talking points and focus on the facts. democracydocket.com/opinion/the-sa…

The amount of energy in hurricanes is astronomical. When you crunch the numbers, it shows just how asinine it sounds that humans could manipulate them, never mind create them from scratch.

We just saw the exact moment a star exploded for the first time ever. Astronomers have achieved a rare feat: imaging the exact moment a massive star detonated—and the explosion was anything but spherical. SN 2024ggi, a supernova located 22 million light-years away in the spiral galaxy NGC 3621, was detected a mere 26 hours after ignition. This extraordinarily early discovery allowed researchers to train the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile on the event while it was still in its infancy. Using the technique of spectropolarimetry—which analyzes the polarization of light to reveal geometric structure—the team uncovered a surprising truth: the expanding shockwave was distinctly aspherical, elongated into an “olive” or prolate shape along one primary axis. This asymmetry means the catastrophic rebound following the star’s core collapse did not propagate uniformly in all directions, directly contradicting the long-standing assumption that the deepest layers of a core-collapse supernova explode spherically. The progenitor was a red supergiant 12–15 times more massive than the Sun that had exhausted its nuclear fuel, triggering gravitational collapse of its iron core. In most supernovae, the initial shape of this breakout is quickly obscured as the blast wave slams into the star’s outer envelope. Here, however, astronomers captured polarized light signatures of the still-unobscured ejecta, freezing the explosion’s geometry in time. The discovery carries far-reaching consequences. It strongly suggests that asymmetry is common, if not universal, in the earliest phases of massive-star deaths. Current theoretical models, which often assume spherical symmetry at the core, will need significant revision. Moreover, these distorted explosions could help explain observed peculiarities in supernova remnants, the production of gamma-ray bursts, and the kicking of neutron stars and black holes to high speeds at birth. By catching a star in the act of dying asymmetrically, SN 2024ggi has given us a vivid glimpse into the violent, chaotic physics that govern the final heartbeat of the universe’s most massive stars.

Given the horrific destruction that Israel’s extremist government has wrought on Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, the last thing in the world American taxpayers need to do right now is to provide 22,000 new bombs to the Netanyahu government. No more weapons to support an illegal war.

When 3.5% of a population actively participates in sustained, peaceful protest, it can topple authoritarian regimes — like the one currently in the Oval Office. We need 12 million people to show up on March 28 to get to 3.5%. Will you be one of them? Find out how at nokings.org
