Syn Vojta nás opustil. Bylo mu jednadvacet let. Odpočívej v pokoji, drahý chlapče. Bože, buď milostiv jeho duši.

Telegram was banned in Russia — yet 50M+ Russians still use it daily via VPNs. The government has spent years trying to ban VPNs too. Their blocking attempts just triggered a massive banking failure — cash briefly became the only payment method nationwide.

Images taken from Russian channels of Ukrainian Su-25s, that are claimed to striking deep behind Russian lines. This might suggest Russian troops and positions have little or no air defense.

Česko se vrací k plánované socialistické ekonomice? Potichu se připravuje zásadní zákon o regulaci cen, který bude protlačen legislativní nouzí. Děsivé čtení: "MF zároveň intenzivně pracuje na zákoně, který umožní v budoucnu všem vládám regulovat marže (resp. ceny) formou nařízení vlády, nikoliv cenovým výměrem. Tento zákon bude předložen v legislativní nouzi a v krátké době nahradí operativní opatření obecné povahy uvedené výše, přičemž technický princip stanovování marží a maximálních přípustných cen zůstane stejný." mf.gov.cz/cs/ministerstv…

Javier Milei: "Myslel jsem si, že být levičákem je mentální problém. Empirické důkazy, že to nikdy nikde nefungovalo, jsou tak silné, ale oni je odmítají přijmout. Pak jsem ale zjistil, že být levičákem je choroba duše. Levice je postavena na závisti, nenávisti, odporu a nerovnosti před zákonem. Jsou velmi násilní a protože nedokážou odpovědět pomocí argumentů, tak se uchylují k fyzickému násilí."

Telegram now has an AI editor. Here's what happens if you write “Taiwan is an independent country.” My screenshot. 🤯

russian strikes hit a bus stop in Kherson. A woman was killed. Three others wounded. Medics rushed in to save lives — and were hit again. A double strike: one of russia’s favorite war crimes. Even those trying to help are not safe. russians are murderers. Nothing else.

We finally have a high quality image of Orion in space

Russian forces suffered 6,000 deaths in 4 days, but it hasn't slowed their offensive. Ukrainian soldier: They keep coming. We haven't seen them running out of manpower. They move in groups of up to 3 men. Enter houses and try to advance. We eliminate them, and they come again.

There was a time when the White House worked very hard to try to convince everyone that a war wasn’t about oil. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump is crystal clear it’s about oil.

The -133,000 revision is the number everyone will focus on. The March report that came out alongside it tells a bigger story about where this economy actually is. 178,000 jobs added. Looks like a rebound. But 35,000 of those were physicians returning from a strike. 396,000 people left the labor force entirely, dropping participation to 61.9%, lowest since November 2021. The unemployment rate fell to 4.3% because the denominator shrank, not because the economy improved. Average February and March together: 22,500 jobs per month. The economy needs ~150,000/month just to absorb new workers entering the labor force. We're running at 15% of replacement rate. Wage growth fell to 3.5% year over year, lowest since May 2021. Federal payrolls down another 18,000, now 355,000 cumulative losses since October 2024. Long-term unemployed up 322,000 over the year. The 2025 jobs numbers already got revised down to 181,000 total for the entire year. That's 14% of 2024's gains. The economy didn't slow down in February and bounce back in March. It's been decelerating for 15 months straight, and the monthly noise is masking it. Every recession starts with a jobs report that looks fine until you read the revisions six months later.

🔥 On the Kostiantynivka front, Russian soldiers are massively sabotaging their own equipment—anything to avoid reaching the front lines. ATESH agent from a unit of the 255th Motorized Rifle Regiment reports that a persistent practice has developed among personnel of deliberately sabotaging equipment. Mechanical damage to engines, leaking of technical fluids, damage to electrical wiring and fuel systems. These "breakdowns" often occur right before rotations or combat missions. Lower-level commanders know about it—and remain silent. Commanders also have no reason to stir up a scandal, because they themselves understand where they're being sent. Fear of the front lines has long since outweighed fear of disciplinary action.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Zaporizhzhia thinning out fast The concentration of Russian forces on this front is now a fraction of what it was, reportedly down to about a third compared to just 6 months ago That’s not a small shift, regiments pulled away means gaps, weaker rotations, less ability to absorb pressure Ukraine doesn’t need a massive breakthrough here, just consistent pressure on a thinner line can start forcing difficult tradeoffs for Russia across the sector @astraiaintel

Massive Ukrainian bombing raid on three Russian chemicals plants in Togliatti on the Volga, some 600 miles away. It’s as far from Ukraine as Switzerland or Denmark.

Imagine being this close to 7 (!) GBU-31 JDAMs landing nearly simultaneously. I'm frankly amazed that the person filming it survived.

BREAKING: US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reportedly "paranoid" about losing his job, which Trump Admin officials say contributed to the firing of the US Army’s top general on Thursday, per NY Post. Details include: 1. Trump Admin officials say Pete Hegseth is worried about Army Secretary Dan Driscoll taking his job 2. Hegseth on Thursday demanded the resignation of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George, Driscoll’s top aide, for reasons that were not publicly stated 3. "This is all driven by the insecurity and paranoia that Pete has developed since Signalgate," an official said 4. "It has really gotten under Hegseth’s skin. He is trying to make everyone around Driscoll suffer for no reason," an official said There seem to be growing tensions at the Department of War.

Less than 72 hours after Russia shipped arms to Iran via the Caspian, 2 US planes shot down. Just saying.
