The Russians repainted a military truck in bright civilian colors, apparently hoping Ukrainian systems with AI-powered targeting would not identify it as a target. It did not work. The vehicle was destroyed while transporting rockets for the Uragan MLRS.

If Le Pen wins the presidential election in France, Russia could launch an invasion inside the EU knowing that both Paris and Washington might sit out Europe's defense. That shift massively increases the likelihood of a major war inside the EU

Clearly someone told Trump we have no defense against the sort of drone attacks Russia was using on Ukraine. His response was to spend billions to protect himself with a fancy new bunker with a “golden” ballroom on top, with drones on the roof. Like that’ll keep the bad ones away.

Most Pompeiians lived in multi-story dwellings without kitchens and got their food at thermopolia, essentially taverns with ready-made food and wine. There is a fine fresco and colored plaster lararium - shrine - above the counter at the thermopolium of Lucius Vetutius Placidus.🏺 1/ 📸 me
This beautifully painted lararium - household shrine - is found in the thermopolium of Lucius Vetutius Placidus. Since most Pompeiians lived in multi-story dwellings without kitchens, these hot food and drink establishments were critical, where citizens could purchase sustenance and consume it there, or take it home. This lararium depicts two Lares - protective spirits of the home (and business, it seems) - pouring wine from rhytons; a veiled Genius (protector of the home) in the middle, sacrificing to the gods and holding a cornucopia, symbol of abundance; the god of trade, Mercury, on the left, holding his caduceus and a bag of coins, which would bring success and abundance to the business; and finally the god Dionysus on the right, also a symbol of abundance in this establishment which served wine. 

Notably, stucco is used to create the small shrine, which is in the shape of a temple, including two Corinthian columns and a pediment. Stucco acanthus vines and volutes appear above the temple, and two painted agatha daemons (which appear as crested snakes) are facing a large egg on an altar, below. 

A 3 kg (6.6 lb) hoard of coins was found in one of the terracotta jars set into the counter, probably the last daily profits of the establishment.
