Moscow's instantly-iconic exploding fuel storage tank is resulting in a flood of memes. I'll add a selection below...

So i've known for a while that octopuses have naturally short lifespans, dying shortly after reproduction, but what I just learned is that their hormone-triggered death process doesn't just make them waste away, it actually disrupts their mental functioning to the point that

I used my 17” telescope in dark Texas skies to capture this: A star much like ours as it dies. You can see the core of the star left behind in the center of the expanding shell. Any planets that were around this star have been destroyed.

You see a trillion dollars. Gavin sees 3/4 of a mile of high speed rail.

What terrifies me about this attempted beheading is the potential backlash against peaceful beheaders.

Captured by Anduril's network of 400 telescopes deployed around the globe: The second stage of the Falcon Heavy launch of ViaSat 3-F3 performing a routine thrust event. This produced a spiraled-shaped plume effect, a nominal part of operations for a successful launch of Viasat's latest satellite.

For 19 years, GPS satellites have secretly broadcast a “numbers station” in their public signals. We decoded 12M messages: a 2011 flash where 31 of 32 satellites flipped in hours, “ghost” substrings repeating years apart, and a “TEXT” prefix spreading now. lsc-pagepro.mydigitalpublica…

#Syria: one of Assad's most closely guarded secrets has finally been uncovered - the clandestine chemical weapons and related facilities. Storage equipment and hexamine, used in ​sarin production, raw materials & over 70 munitions (incl. aerial bombs) were discovered after months of tracking. Sites are located on the Coast and center of the country (covered by Homs province). According to the OPCW, 18 Regime figures linked to this program, incl. high-ranking Officials, were arrested.

This is wild... Russia seems to be threatening a *commercial* satellite that provides imaging services to Ukraine: ▸ starting about two weeks ago, Russia started maneuvering five (!) of their classified satellites to the same orbital inclination as the ICEYE satellite ▸ these burns were big, on the order of 100 m/s, clearly using chemical propulsion given the speed of the burns — very expensive and deliberate maneuvers ▸ as of last Friday, all five Russian satellites are now co-planar, at ~97.8° inclination, with three of ICEYE's satellites, and aligned in other orbital elements (e.g. RAAN) that make it clear they're specifically targeting this set ▸ I am a little skeptical that Russia is specifically targeting -X36 — there are two other satellites at the same inclination/RAAN (-X37 and -X38) — but the Russian sats are now all within striking distance of -X36, which is why people are concerned about it specifically; the closest cross-track distance is an estimated 500 meters (!!), all while the satellites are orbit 550 kilometers above Earth ▸ Russia has unleashed a cyberattack on a commercial satellite before (Viasat), and it is official Russian policy that commercially-owned infrastructure that aids in military efforts "may be legitimate target[s] for a retaliatory strike.” ▸ there's speculation that this could be a precursor to an RPO mission (meaning: physically grabbing the satellite or some other kind of non-kinetic attack like blinding/jamming) Worth tracking closely. And unfortunately more evidence that space is militarizing, fast.

China is seeing massive capital outflows: An estimated $1 trillion in capital flowed out of China in 2025, the largest annual outflow since records began in 2006. Capital outflows have more than DOUBLED since 2021. This comes as Chinese investors have moved funds into overseas equities through offshore brokers, particularly into the US and Hong Kong markets. In response, China imposed restrictions on cross-border stock trading on May 22nd, ordering all illegal accounts to be liquidated within 2 years. Furthermore, the country fined three offshore online brokers, Hong Kong-based Futu, Singapore-based Tiger Brokers and Longbridge Securities, a combined $330 million for offering Chinese investors access to foreign stock markets without regulatory approval. China is tightening capital controls as outflows intensify.

Russia held an election a few weeks after Lenin seized power in 1917. Lenin's party finished a distant second. Lenin then abolished the other parties and shut down the constituent assembly right after it convened.

#ICYMI from @FBISanFrancisco: Seven Chinese executives and four of the world’s largest shipping container manufacturing companies were indicted for conspiring to restrict the output of — and fix the prices of — nearly all of the world’s standard unrefrigerated shipping containers. The multi-year conspiracy roughly doubled the prices of standard shipping containers between 2019 and 2021, increasing the container manufacturers’ profits approximately one hundredfold during the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain crisis.
