I have no idea how credible this breakdown is, but it’s interesting nonetheless.

The Kremlin is conducting a coordinated series of kinetic campaigns targeting Europe, and NATO states must understand and forthrightly discuss both these ongoing Russian campaigns against Europe and the evolving near-term Russian conventional threat.  Read the full report: isw.pub/RussianEurop...

DRAGON ABOARD (2013) Acrylic - 18” x 24” Anne McCaffrey often reminded readers that her Pern novels were science fiction. This scene from ALL THE WEYRS OF PERN did exactly that and was originally chosen for the cover. 1/3 #art #booksky 🪐📚

In the cargo hold of a spaceship, a dragon floats with female rider saddled high on its shoulders. Gripping reins, she cranes her neck back to glance at the viewer. Disorienting, the perspective into the cargo hold is slightly angled with the lines of interior structure not quite lining up with the wide octagonal bulkhead leading into it. There is no true horizon to orient on which prompts a sense of weightlessness and implies slow rotation. The hold itself is cropped with the right of it falling off-panel. Just past the dragon, a large porthole provides a view planet-side with sun partially obscured behind a bright arc. A red dot burns menacingly nearby. In the lower left, an access panel glows with dots of red, yellow, and green. The display screen just above is lit with a picture of the author. Her hair is white and her smile is warm.

Pure terrorism. Russia struck Kryvyi Rih a second time while emergency crews were assisting dozens of people injured in the earlier attack and clearing the aftermath. The attack is still ongoing, with additional Shahed drones reported heading toward the city. #Ukraine

It takes years, and tens of millions of dollars, to build just a single capable naval vessel. China is not doing this for the fun of it.

When we hear that another tanker has been hit by a drone, there are now at least 6 parties we have to consider…. Was it Ukraine? Was it Russia? Was it Iran? Was it the Houthis? Was it al-Qaeda? Was it the United States? What times?!?!

This Russian woman’s life is being destroyed by Putin. There’s nothing she can do about it. The thing she COULD have done about it was to care, and be active and involved, as Putin destroyed Russia’s electoral system and consolidated power. Pay attention, America. Later is too late.

Not a sentence I was thinking I would ever type, but here we are. It'll be part of a daylong TTRPG event. More details to come.
