1/ What does it take to become 'meat' in the Russian army? The bottom line, observes one Russian warblogger, is that anyone can become a disposable assault trooper for use in a suicidal attack – it just depends on your commander's attitude and who you might have annoyed. ⬇️

OTD in 1938 Nazi Germany started occupying the Sudetenland. The west tried to appease Hitler by giving him bits of someone else's country without asking the owners. It didnt work & led to a terrible war. Imagine it happening today....

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

EarthCARE tracked Anak Krakatau’s volcanic plume 🌋 Following the eruption on 4 September, the satellite captured the plume’s vertical structure, revealing layers of ash, gases and aerosols at different altitudes and supporting aviation safety. More 👉 www.esa.int/Applications...
This image uses a capture from Copernicus Sentinel-3 on 5 September overlaid with data from EarthCARE’s MSI, ATLID and CPR instruments. The image also notes aircraft flight levels: most aircraft cruise around FL350, which means 35,000 ft (about 10,700 m).

Spain was an automotive parallel universe in the 1970s thanks to its protected market, which gave rise to various local adaptations. FASA-Renault came up with this 12TS, which differed from the French version, having unusual quad headlamps and a larger 1397cc 70bhp engine. #carbluesky

Splendid photo of a splendid baby. Photo from my collection, no date/info. 
Black-and-white photo of a shorthaired tabby kitten walking along a wooden beam that is laying on a grass lawn. There is a light colored house and a small tree in the background. The photo is especially lovely because the depth of field is quite precise on the kitten with a great deal of blur in the foreground in the background.
