Germany is celebrating the late Queen! A special stamp marks what would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday on 21 April. It honours her legacy and work towards reconciliation between the UK and Germany.

@bayraktar_1love 🇺🇦 Ukraine isn’t just hitting back. They’re hitting far. Ufa is another city targeted by Ukraine’s successful deep strikes into Russia. Oil. Ports. Factories. Smarter. Faster. Stronger. 🔥

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Russlands Meisterplan zur digitalen Souveränität läuft: Beim Versuch, Telegram zu grillen, hat der Kreml direkt den eigenen Staats-Messenger Max mit versenkt. Hunderte Fehlermeldungen bestätigen, dass weder Chats noch Medien laden. Das ist bereits der zweite Totalausfall innerhalb von nur drei Tagen. Außerdem rasiert der Kreml im selben Atemzug seine eigene Propaganda-Armee weg: Die Reichweite von Staatsmedien und Z-Kanälen bricht um bis zu 68% ein. Wie Quellen von „Verstka“ berichten, sind die für die Innenpolitik zuständigen Berater im Kreml „in Panik“, da es ihnen nicht gelingt, den Russen ein „vollständiges ‚Tscheburnet‘ zu verkaufen“. Gesprächspartner der Zeitung teilten mit, dass die Präsidialverwaltung gegen die Beschränkungen gewesen sei, die Entscheidungen jedoch vom FSB durchgesetzt und im Sicherheitsrat beschlossen worden seien. *„Tscheburnet“ ist ein Wort aus Tscheburaschka, einer sowjetischen Kult-Comicfigur und Internet. Es beschreibt sarkastisch Russlands Plan eines isolierten, staatlich kontrollierten Intranets.

The Roman army had its own version of Gatorade (with a lot less sugar). It was vinegar mixed with water, and they called it Posca. And some historians believe it was this exact drink on the sponge offered to Christ at the crucifixion. Posca was the daily ration drink of the Roman legions for centuries. Two tablespoons of red wine vinegar diluted in a cup of cold water, sometimes with a pinch of salt or herbs added. That is the entire recipe. It sounds terrible, and yet it made complete practical sense. The vinegar killed bacteria in water that would otherwise make soldiers sick, the acidity provided a genuine energy hit on the march, and it was cheap enough to produce at scale for an army of hundreds of thousands. Roman soldiers carried it the way modern athletes carry electrolyte drinks, and the effect on endurance and hydration was not entirely different. The crucifixion connection comes directly from the Gospel of John, chapter 19, where a sponge soaked in what the text calls "oxos" in the original Greek is lifted to Jesus on a reed as he is dying. Oxos is the Greek word for sour wine or vinegar wine, the same term used in Roman sources to describe posca. Whether this was an act of mercy, mockery, or simply a soldier sharing what he had on hand, the drink being offered was almost certainly the standard ration drink of the Roman soldiers present at the execution. A detail that had been in the text all along, and most people have never noticed. #archaeohistories

1/ With losses escalating in Ukraine, a Russian region has ordered businesses to send their employees to fight. Varying recruitment quotas have been set depending on the size of the business. The 'voluntary-compulsory' scheme appears to be a de facto form of mobilisation. ⬇️

Remember that epic raid by Ukrainian military helicopters striking the Russian oil depot in Belgorod on April 1st, 2022 -- exactly four years ago today? That was literally the first such high-profile strike by Ukraine and it made an absolutely thunderous impact. It was incredible: Ukrainian helicopters flying at ultra-low altitude before dawn, punching through Russian air defenses into Russian territory, taking out oil storage tanks with R-8 missiles, delivering breathtaking footage to world media along the way, and pulling off an epic escape without losses. Against the backdrop of Russia's defeat near Kyiv and its withdrawal from all of northern Ukraine, that video sent the morale of the entire country straight into the stratosphere. It seemed unbelievable that Ukrainian army aviation was capable of something like that. And now, four years later, devastating strikes on Russian territory aren't just real -- they've long been a routine fact of this war. If someone had told us back then that four years on, entire oil ports in Russia would be going up in catastrophic flames from Ukrainian strikes we'd never have believed it.
