“Today he would become a god. His mother had told him so.” 🌑 Between Earth and Sky: The Roleplaying Game drops you into a world where prophecy is power, magic is forbidden, and the choices you make will echo across the heavens—based on the award-winning Black Sun trilogy. mymcg.info/beas
Fantasy game art showing a tattooed, feather-adorned person wearing Mesoamerican-inspired clothing, with dark hair and gold jewelry posed against a purple sky, framed by an ornate circular border. His hair becomes a flock of crows, his hand raised in bidding. Readable text says: “BETWEEN EARTH & SKY” and “THE ROLEPLAYING GAME.”

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?!?!

Not shadow fleet, right? Not international traders with dubious credentials. Correct terminology matters. The term “shadow fleet” has an important meaning; that meaning degrades when the term is misused.

These ships aren’t shadow fleet. “Shadow fleet” refers to ships conducting international trade with false credentials. That’s not what these vessels are doing. The term is important, but it’ll lose its meaning if we start falsely calling all Russian ships “shadow fleet.”

Charles Ryan @charlesmryan.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
These aren’t shadow fleet, right? They’re legit targets (great targets!), but also legitimate coastal and riverine vessels, not international vessels with dubious credentials. “Shadow fleet” doesn’t just mean “Russian.” I think the distinction is important.

Charles Ryan @charlesmryan.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
Is this actually a shadow fleet vessel, or one of the coastal tankers in the Sea of Azov that Ukraine has been targeting in recent days. They aren’t the same thing, and the distinction matters.

Charles Ryan @charlesmryan.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
Please only call these “shadow fleet” vessels if they actually are. I think a lot of these targets are legitimate coastal vessels. (Not saying they aren’t legitimate targets—great targets, even! Just that they aren’t ships engaged in international trade with dubious credentials.)
