Seeing images of a lone Warthog circling low over Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, Iran, supporting the CSAR for the downed F-15E crew. No heavy ordnance, no ECM pods, just the GAU-8 and a pilot hugging the deck - guarding the survivors. The images remind me of the "Sandy" missions of Vietnam, flown by A-10's granddaddy, the A-1 Skyraider. The tools have changed, but the role remains the same: fly low and slow, fly into the teeth of the danger, watch the treeline, and hold the line until everyone comes home. It was, and still is, the hardest seat in the sky - protecting the life of a brother on the ground at any cost, even your own. CSAR is a ballzy lot!

@ArboristsP @Muller_Lab @RealAirPower1 The azov battalion that would exist without Russia? They created their own boogeyman

@Muller_Lab @RealAirPower1 Neither they nor the Russians are “good guys”.
It’s not trash. Fuck them and the Azov Battalion they rode in on.

@ZelenskyyUa The country is devastated and the economy is in ruins. The country is only surviving on aid. Yet this comedian is worried about the world.

I shared one example with the leaders of the countries in the Middle East. It's open-source information – a video of Iranians attacking a helicopter in Iraq with FPV drones.
Why FPV drones? Russia and Ukraine use these drones on the battlefield, only on the battlefield. They typically have a range of 10–20 kilometers and create “kill zones”.
I said, “Look at this very carefully. I think, if they are beginning to use FPV drones, they may be training for a land operation in some form.” Such things as FPVs are about Russia's experience, which it has shared with Iran.
From an interview with Axios (1/3).

@PixieCav @SavchenkoReview @Maks_NAFO_FELLA "We have them all over Europe. Why can't he have some here?"

@SavchenkoReview @Maks_NAFO_FELLA There’s nothing more you can say about Trump and Putin except that Trump is a traitor.
English

🇺🇸🇨🇺 Trump approved the Russian tanker breaking the blockade of Cuba.
“It won’t help Putin. He’ll just lose one oil tanker, that’s all. It’s not a big deal. It doesn’t really bother me. Cuba is basically destroyed. I would even prefer to allow it — whether it’s Russia or someone else, because people need warmth.”
The US Coast Guard has already allowed a Russian tanker with 730,000 barrels of oil to reach Cuba, the NYT reports.
The US has been blocking oil supplies to the island since January, which has already led to large-scale blackouts.

@wyatt_claypool I ‘m starting to understand why the founding leader of the NDP Tommy Douglas was a proponent of eugenics after viewing this convention.
English

I notice a strong concentration at the NDP convention of that sort of person who is clearly only in their 20s to 30s who nonetheless pretends to be hobbled and uses a walker or cane but seems to never need to put any actual bodyweight on it while moving.
Why is this like a Left-wing archetype?
People who have glasses chains and canes, and wear baggy sweaters but still talk and act like snarky Redditors.

What a joke of a post.
"well beyond what the clinical research supports" <--- This is the problem. Thinking clinical research is important to a drug that ALREADY has countless user experiences to draw from. Modern science already knows it's safe. And you're pretending that if we don't follow what the researchers say we're somehow reckless.
"The real value of 5-MeO-DMT" <--- Shut the fuck up. The real value of this is subjective and not what you think is of real value for anyone else.
You're a wannabe gatekeeper that wants to control the mystical experience under the guise of "I'm just being helpful and responsible". I'm also assuming you support heavy regulation on drugs that prevent people from making up their own minds outside the confines of the fascist medical industrial complex- if you don't... then directly say that you support people exploring how they want no matter what the risk to themselves is.

Bryan Johnson livestreamed a 27mg dose of 5-MeO-DMT yesterday to millions of people and called it the most profound experience of his life.
What almost no one in the conversation is pointing out is that 27mg is a MASSIVE dose, well beyond what the clinical research supports, and it reflects a bigger problem in how this molecule is being facilitated right now.
For context, the only Phase 1 clinical trial on vaporized 5-MeO-DMT tested doses up to 18mg. Shulgin listed the upper range at 20mg. Most experienced practitioners I know consider anything above 15mg to be high.
And this isn't unique to Bryan.
Across the 5-MeO facilitator landscape right now, there's a widespread assumption that bigger dose equals deeper experience, that the whole point is to get someone to the white light, the full ego dissolution, the cosmic reveal.
That assumption is wrong, and it's the core reason this space has a safety problem.
I've worked with this molecule myself, and nothing in 12+ years of psychedelic experience prepared me for what it does to the body (not necessarily the mind...)
My first time with 5, I shook so hard I lost track of where I was in the room. I was making sounds I'd never heard come out of my own mouth, heat flooding my chest, tension I didn't even know I'd been holding suddenly leaving in these full-body waves that had nothing to do with my conscious mind.
That's the medicine doing its job. Not the cosmic vision nor the white light. It was all about the nervous system releasing stored-up tension from the past years, if not decades, of life.
The real value of 5-MeO-DMT -- the thing that actually changes people's lives -- is what happens in the physiology. Full release. The nervous system clearing out years of stored trauma, holding patterns, and tension that live below conscious awareness.
You can get there without heroic doses. You get there with precision, with a facilitator who understands what's happening physiologically and who can tell the difference between a healing release and a genuine crisis, because from the outside they look almost identical.
Bryan had Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris on call and a medical team on site. Most people sitting with 5-MeO-DMT facilitators have none of that. They have someone who attended a few ceremonies and decided they were ready to hold space.
If this molecule is entering the mainstream, and thanks to Bryan, it just did in a massive way, the conversation needs to move past "how far can we push it" and toward "how do we keep people safe while the real clearing happens."
What's your experience been like with 5?

@UkrReview @Maks_NAFO_FELLA I am in Canada and can get Ukrainian missiles and drone alerts
English

😂 MAX doesn't receive missile alert notifications because its software is foreign, — Gladkov
Belgorod Region Governor recorded a video response to questions from residents of the region. One woman complained, "Why do we need MAX?" if we're not receiving missile alert push notifications from specialized channels.
"The problem is that it's impossible to provide push notifications through MAX because its software is supplied to foreign manufacturers. Therefore, this contradicts the entire approach. This is one of the most serious problems troubling the entire border region," Gladkov stated.

It's grotesque how American political culture turns absolutely everything (TV shows, hobbies, religion, other countries, etc.) into fodder for an endless Schmittian political trench war.
Canada is designated "left". Therefore, American conservatives must performatively hate everything about Canada while American liberals must performatively praise everything about it. Neither view Canada as a real place with real people, but just a political theme park. It's either the Disney Castle or the Haunted Mansion depending on their ideology.
Obviously, the reality of Canada doesn't reflect either of these cartoonish hyperreal images. However, this serves as the axiom for most political discourse on the country. It has gotten to the point that Canadians now view their own country through this distorted Americanized lens.

@JasePosehn @JustBins I am going to need an explanation of how the Vikings are involved
English

@JustBins Both are on topic, not contradictory of one another. Islam is a cult, Islam wasn't even around till hundreds of years after the viking had been been in North America harvesting bog iron and timber. Islam is a death cult with nothing to offer but death and mental illness.

🚨 NEW BODYCAM FOOTAGE RELEASED
The traffic stop that went viral now has bodycam showing what actually happened.
Deputies in San Marcos pulled over a red Hyundai Sonata for a vehicle code violation late at night.
While checking the car, they noticed registration inconsistencies and damage to the steering column, raising suspicions the vehicle could be stolen.
Then things escalated.
Police say the 33-year-old passenger ignored repeated commands, rolled up his window, reached toward the floorboard, and armed himself with a semiautomatic handgun.
Officers safely removed the 21-year-old driver, but the passenger refused orders to drop the weapon and raised the gun.
At that point, five deputies and an officer opened fire.
The man was pronounced dead.
The original video sparked intense debate online… but now the bodycam is adding new context to what unfolded.
After seeing the details - what’s your conclusion? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@warscapegeo @rshereme Of course, Ukraine could never figure anything out on their own. It is all usa, right?
English

@rshereme Not really accurate claiming that ukraine has some secret level of drone knowledge. Any technology they have was given or funded by the west anyway. The west can (and after this circus will) build better drones than ukraine can provide. It's simply that they need something now.
English

“We don’t need Ukraine’s help in drone defense.”
These are the words Donald Trump spoke during a FOX interview. He added: “We know more about drones than anybody. We actually have the best drones in the world.”
This is, of course, a false claim, given that the United States is currently using $4 million Patriot missiles to shoot down $50,000 Iranian/russian drones. Meanwhile, highly effective Ukrainian drone interceptors cost about $2,000.
But Trump’s arrogance could actually be beneficial for Ukraine.
Here is an analysis from the Executive Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Igor Semyvolos:
Trump’s statement that the United States does not need Ukrainian drones paradoxically strengthens Ukraine’s position in the Middle East. Given the well-known attitude of regional elites toward this “old man,” his arrogance may actually become a strategic springboard for Ukraine. I clearly remember how dramatically the attitude of Arab experts toward Ukraine changed after the conversation about the “trump card in the White House” in 2025.
In Arab political culture, agency and the ability to withstand pressure are valued far more than formal agreements. The behavior of the Ukrainian leadership at that time made a real impression. Until 2025, many Arab elites perceived Ukraine merely as a U.S. “client,” fully dependent on Washington’s will. But the situation changed when Ukraine clearly demonstrated its own position — and comparisons with several Arab leaders who had sat in that same chair in the White House did not work in their favor. In the East, they saw a leader who did not falter under pressure and did not turn into an obedient petitioner waiting for instructions.
Having secured its status as a player capable of acting independently, Ukraine then moved to concrete proposals — offering unique defense solutions. Interceptor drones became the real argument that reinforced the political stance with technological advantage. It turned out that Ukraine possesses expertise that even the United States, with its multi-billion-dollar budgets, currently does not have. Ukraine changed roles: from a “consumer of Western aid” to a “supplier of critical technologies.”
Trump’s recent statement on Brian Kilmeade’s show — where he brushed off Ukrainian assistance in defending bases in Jordan, saying that “we know more about drones than anyone” — is perceived in the region not as a display of strength but as ordinary arrogance. Experts in Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia know the reality very well. It is enough to read the regular reviews of the Arab press.
The issue is not whether Americans have their own drones. The issue is that, for the Arab world, Ukrainian interceptor drones today represent the only working, relatively inexpensive, and — most importantly — battle-tested solution.
The perception of Trump among Arab experts as an unpredictable figure who is often dismissive of regional nuances creates a perfect emotional bridge for Ukraine. Against the backdrop of American isolationism, Ukraine’s readiness to share technology “here and now” looks like a new kind of strategic partnership.
This is not simply trade — it is the emergence of direct security cooperation, which significantly strengthens Ukrainian and European agency in the region.

While everyone argues about Iran, no one is talking about this.
So, my mom found this Walmart receipt from June 1999 when my parents bought a lot of items in bulk after their honeymoon.
I had to take four pictures to fit it all here.
The total cost for all of those items?
$265.00 💵
A lot of families spend close to that each week on an average grocery run today.
The purchasing power of the U.S. dollar continues to decline. It has declined by 97% since 1913.
We need to abolish the Federal Reserve.

@MHadikusum79484 @RealCandaceO @michaeljknowles That is a lot of words for. "She thrives for attention and will say anything that gets her that attention."
English

@michaeljknowles I'd like to share 2 points:
1. What Candace did was not attacking Erika Kirk. Erika's behavior is the reason why people feel suspicious about her.
2. Candace is a courageous person who wants to bring justice for her friend, Charlie. This is because our justice system is failing us. It is @benshapiro who continuously attacking Candace. He is obviously not mentally stable.
English

“Say the sentence with her name on it”.
Ben is truly sick. He believes in a ritual of public humiliation.
Good for Michael for not bending to the will of this maniac.
They always want to see people publicly betray others. It is truly ritualistic.
Daily Wire@realDailyWire
This episode of Friendly Fire is no joke 👀🔥 @benshapiro: "Michael, I'll just ask you straight up. Is Candace Owens doing something evil by attacking Erika Kirk?" @michaeljknowles: "I think that it's wrong to attack Erika Kirk." BS: "Say the sentence with her name in it." MK: "I'm not going to dance like a puppet for the podcast wars."

@TommyHawk4U109 @RepMikeLevin @Betty36174919 So stop using new weapon systems because people need training to use them?
English

@RepMikeLevin @Betty36174919 How long would it take to implement and train on? Have they been tested so they don’t detonate when handled or transported? Ease of the meth!
English

This is a MAJOR strategic failure.
Ukraine offered battle-proven technology to combat the EXACT Iranian drones we’re now fighting in the Middle East. The Trump Administration rejected that help.
Seven American service members were killed by those drones. Millions have been spent trying to stop these attacks. And now we are going back to Ukraine asking for the help we previously rejected.
Ignoring our allies and dismissing their expertise has real consequences, and right now it’s the American people that are paying the price.
