Behold the “space cake.” Making cakes on the @Space_Station with our rather limited “baking” supplies is an art, requiring creativity and resourcefulness. I loved making cakes for my crewmates on my first mission and considered myself adept, but our cosmonaut colleagues on Expedition 74 have certainly taken it to the next level. Here’s an example of their recent work, in celebration of 100 days in space for @astro_hathaway and @Soph_astro, and my 300th day. It tasted even better than it looked!

@Gun_Bunny_USMC @Astro_Jessica @Space_Station You obviously don’t know anything about salmonella poisoning
What ever you read, remember no gravity and no fresh air

@Astro_Jessica @Space_Station China just barbecued chicken wings on their Space Station. Why hasn't NASA ever experimented with cooking raw food on board the ISS? Are the risks seriously that big?

@BlastingThrough I worked at Walter Reed in the 2000’s
I have seen the results of Humvee with inadequate armor
It’s not fun or pretty,
And I never once heard of any leadership resign about his subordinate not having the right equipment for the mission

I’ve received a lot of feedback on the last two hypotheticals that have potential to lead to moral injury. What do you think of this one about betrayal?
A platoon leader is ordered to hold a checkpoint in a high-risk area with inadequate support and outdated equipment, despite repeated requests for reinforcements. Several members of the platoon are killed in an ambush that command "knew was likely" but downplayed. The leader feels betrayed by the chain of command: "They sent us out there like expendable pawns, knowing the risks but lying about the support we'd have." This betrayal erodes loyalty to the military institution and can extend to distrust of government or authority figures in civilian life.

@ShaunPinnerUA Put them on a chain gang dig trench and fighting positions for 12 hours a day until the war ends

Russia has no real incentive to exchange many of the foreign fighters it recruits, because it needs the pipeline to stay open.
According to Ukraine’s “I Want to Live” project, over 28,000 foreign military personnel from 48 countries have already been identified fighting for Russia. At least 5,149 are confirmed dead, with thousands more likely unaccounted for.
In 2024 alone, Russia recruited 8,200 foreigners. In 2025, nearly 14,000 more signed contracts and Moscow reportedly plans to recruit another 18,500 in 2026.
Admitting the true scale of casualties, abandoning recruits or exchanging them too readily risks damaging the very recruitment machine the Kremlin now depends on to sustain the war.
Foreigners are no longer a sideshow in Russia’s war, they are becoming part of the manpower strategy keeping it going.

DEVELOPING: Jason Clarke is being rumored by @Deadline to be joining the cast of Michael Mann’s Heat 2. Boy oh boy is this music to my ears. Anyone familiar with Clarke’s work knows this guy’s acting chops are insane. Here he is in the 2021 crime thriller Silk Road. Great news.

@Ajas95 @GirkinGirkin WTF
Looking at the sun will blind you, that way

@GirkinGirkin It was clever to fly from the direction of the sun, and cast a tiny shadow on the target

@TheDeadDistrict What a waste of time
How about one good tank ditch and one fighting trench to cover everything

@YesItsWrong @specialopsmag Isn’t the whole point of turning your head away when opening the cover is in the event of a round cooking off?

@HammerToe @airlivenet I prefer trespasser
Because it looks like this person committed suicide by walking in front of a airplane,
The walk is not the important part

@dsgrosshans @airlivenet Is there something about the word you don't understand?

@Kyro181INF @specialopsmag That’s dust
556 has 50,000 psi in the chamber that energy is not completely absorbed by the can

@dsgrosshans @specialopsmag Really? Because it looks like it ricocheted and hit the ceiling… watch for the plume of smoke.
