A quick note on the below map.  A few years ago, when the front was close to Avdiidvka, the city of Donetsk was getting hammered by drones and artillery.  Talk about a buffer zone now, the millions in that city are now living in relative peace.  What a change.

FWIW Twitter no longer allows “multiple” videos to be played when a tweet is embedded.  One video or nothing.  So I’ll be doing more screenshots like the above when someone posts 2/3/4 videos, since in order to watch them you will have to be logged into twitter.  If you want to watch and you have a twitter account, by all means click the link below the vids.

I’ve noticed that Russia Today has been doing the lord’s work and combining multiple videos into one video so they can be played when embedded.  Another reason to love RT!

Full disclosure – I haven’t watched this entire 40 minute video.  I watched 5 minutes and decided it was worth posting, but I don’t have 40 minutes free right now.  What I saw was that this is a good primer on open source AI development…

🇨🇳The founder of Moonshot the Chinese company that created Kimi K3 to overthrow Anthropic and OpenAI lead just gave a 40 minute masterclass on their progress.

This is a great and funny clip, speaking in plain language, about Americans’ willful blindness to their own participation in unequal exchange.
