Kaja Kallas: The greatest threat Russia presents right now... is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield. Russia is no superpower. After more than a decade of conflict, including four years of full-scale war in Ukraine, Russia has barely advanced beyond the 2014 lines. And the cost? 1.2 million casualties. Today, Russia is broken. Its economy is in shreds. It is disconnecting from the European energy markets, and its own citizens are fleeing.show more

THE PETITION AGAINST SONY JUST PASSED 100k SIGNATURES. it... went from 12,000 to six figures in four days. - the number has a precedent: Dark Souls got its PC port in 2012 after a petition of nearly 100,000 - and Bandai Namco credited the fans directly - it's not one petition anymore: Push Square counts at least 15 separate campaigns demanding a reversal - sony's own announcement post now carries a community note spelling out that a digital purchase is a license, not ownership - more replies than likes, 127 million views - meanwhile in Austria, Sony's disc plant is already converting: 300 workers are retraining to make optical microlenses, with mass production set for early 2027 - a year before discs officially die, per ORF 100,000 signatures ask Sony to keep making the disc. the factory that makes it is already learning to make something else.show more

Something that stood out to me after the 2024... Texans season is how interior pressure is far more detrimental to a QB than exterior pressure. The Texans had one of the worst interior OL units last year, and their offseason moves (trading Tunsil and beefing up the interior) reflect that. CJ (like most QBs) handles exterior pressure better, stepping up and out. Early in camp, the interior looks improved, and while the edge has dropped off a bit, CJ is already adapting. Here are some clips already showcasing how solid interior protection allows a QB to step up into the pocket — whether that’s to throw, run, or escape outside. There are many more clips from just the spring until now, but here are a couple.show more

So apparently Apple has begun production of a variable... aperture camera for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. This would let the lens physically change its aperture depending on lighting, opening up in low light and narrowing in bright scenes. The result should be better exposure control and more natural depth of field. Korean publication ETNews reports that Sunny Optical has already started producing the tiny actuators responsible for this movement with full camera module assembly expected to kick off in early summer. It’s happening! Concept video by fpt./YouTubeshow more

Is Ankr about to give back to holders of... the $ANKR token...?! Ankr, a leading blockchain infrastructure platform, says that it has "built something for $ANKR holders", "Coming soon" Details are yet to emerge but it seems likely to new reveal will seek out ways to direct value to holders of the platform's native token. For context, $ANKR's price is down more than -78% over the past year and is down to a ~$36M market cap. Its all time high value is over $1.2B, set in late 2021.show more

The Celo Ethereum L2 has been ON FIRE in... 2026 so far. Since transitioning to an Ethereum Layer-2 network, Celo has been on a tear. We’ve picked some of its biggest milestones from 2026 that you might have missed… (1) The network has now processed a total of more than 1.3 billion transactions [1.329 billion to be more precise]. Suffice to say this figure speaks for itself. (2) A peak daily user count of ~840,000 made Celo one of the most used Ethereum L2 networks in existence. The data comes from a report published on Bitget in April 2026, that report also pointing to a peak of some ~1.3 million monthly active users. (3) MiniPay, the stablecoin-focused wallet built on $CELO, now has more than 15 million registered wallets and has facilitated over 420 million transactions. Given its traction, MiniPay has become a key method for onboarding non-crypto-native users to the Celo ecosystem. (4) Celo’s network revenue has exploded, reaching an all-time high of ~$18,600 on May 18 of this year. On an annualised basis, this works out to an impressive $6.785 million according to growthepie 🥧📏. It equates to an increase of +218% over the past year and is the result of Celo’s tokenomic changes, one of which involved increasing the network’s base fee (something that Celo has achieved while maintaining sub-cent transaction costs).show more

Cardano Faces ‘Wave Of Failures’ Cardano (Cardano Community) founder... Charles Hoskinson (Charles Hoskinson) warned that more projects and firms in the ecosystem could shut down this year as market conditions worsen. “I said at the beginning of the year, we’re going to see a lot of people collapse because the markets are really bad,” Hoskinson said. “There’s going to be a wave of failures in the ecosystem.” The comments came after Cardano analytics platform TapTools announced it was sunsetting operations after four years. $ADA has fallen to around $0.20, its lowest level in more than five years, and is down over 93% from its 2021 peak.show more

Jamaica braces for disaster as powerful Hurricane Melissa approaches... Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm — the strongest in the world this year and possibly in Jamaica’s history — is closing in on the island. According to the U.S. National Hurricane Center, winds have reached 280 km/h, and massive waves and rainfall could trigger catastrophic flooding. The “storm of the century” has already claimed three lives in Jamaica, while four more people have died in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The Red Cross estimates that up to 1.5 million people could be affected. The prime minister has ordered the evacuation of coastal areas. Authorities warn of potential landslides, tornadoes, and severe destruction. Tens of thousands are already without power on the island, and more than 500,000 people have been evacuated in Cuba.show more

before The Best Thing aired, all I wished for... was a smooth broadcast at the right time. it was an A level drama adapted from a small IP with a small budget as it didn't have many promotions materials back then before airing. but surprisingly, during the airing, it was well received by the viewers. it achieved S+ rating and got more than 3 million rmb revenue from its merchandise. it became the only modern drama to maintain a long post-airing tail, with over +11 million views per episode even after its peak period ended. clearly shows that there are lots of new viewers and it has strong rewatch value. now, it has even become the most watched cdrama on iQIYI in 2025. congratulations to all casts & crew for these achievements🎉 also thank you for finding your way into my spring last year and warming it so gently, The Best Thing♡show more

Today is Maki's birthday! She is the kind of... student who always has a spray can in hand, itching to add color to every blank wall she passes. If something looks fun, she will happily forget the rules for a moment, but underneath it all is a pure wish to make the world a little brighter and more cheerful. Even as she stirs up mischief here and there, she has a delicate side that worries more than anyone about troubling or disappointing Sensei. She is full of bright ideas and dazzling talent, though about half of that inspiration seems to come to her only when Sensei is nearby. Today she may have quietly picked out a special color just for Sensei. She is probably keeping one stretch of wall empty, waiting for the moment to paint it together. So today, why not go and find her first, and fill that wall side by side. #BlueArchiveshow more

Don't worry...oil prices will go down. The US has... a Strategic Petroleum Reserve that we refilled... Remember, Trump said, “right up to the top again.” Except, we didn't....we don't have the oil... The reserve currently holds 415 million barrels—barely half its 714 million-barrel capacity—after the Biden administration drew it down heavily in 2022 to contain prices following 🇷🇺Russia’s invasion of 🇺🇦Ukraine. Trump had cheap oil and a full year to replenish it. But Congress allocated less than $171 million of the $20 billion the energy secretary requested, and the administration made only token purchases. Anyone know any good escorts? For oil tankers, I mean. Is there anyone competent in the US leadership?show more

STRIPE-OWNED BRIDGE GOES LIVE WITH CELO SUPPORT Bridge Bridge,... which is owned by the Stripe payments giant, today added support for leading Ethereum L2 Celo. Bridge's decision to extend its stablecoin orchestration platform to $CELO is no coincidence, the network boasting some incredible metrics already... • 1.3 billion total transactions • >$65 billion in stablecoin volume since March '25 • 25 native stablecoin assets on the chain ... and many more besides. According to an official release, Celo's emphasis on stablecoins dates back some six years to its launch in 2020, well before other networks adopted the stablecoin narrative. A clear case study when it comes to stablecoin adoption on Celo is MiniPay - Opera's self-custodial wallet platform, which has already driven a staggering 400 million stablecoin transactions on the network.show more

32 coins. $2.5 million. 0.0038% of the stack. That... is the sale the market is now blaming for a $3 billion liquidation cascade and a Bitcoin price nearly halved from its peak. A $2.5 million sale cannot move a trillion-dollar asset. It is a rounding error. In the same week, Strategy raised $128.3 million selling its own stock, 50 times larger. It did not need to sell coins. It chose to. The crash has real drivers: a record 13-day run of ETF outflows, a rotation into AI, a Fed in no hurry to cut. But the accelerant the market keeps naming is 32 coins. The coins were never the point. The signal was. And the signal was deliberate. Michael Saylor told the Q1 call he would “probably sell some bitcoin to pay a dividend just to inoculate the market and send the message that we did it.” His logic was sound: prove the Bitcoin is usable capital, not a vault that can never be opened, and show he is not a prisoner of his own vow. His “never sell” always meant be a net accumulator. He is up more than 170,000 coins this year against the 32 he sold, and he scores himself on one number, Bitcoin per share. By that math, defending the dividend with a sliver was discipline, not distress. The market read it as the opposite. The dose became the catalyst now blamed for the crash. The inoculation became the infection. Because what changed was never Strategy’s solvency. It was its identity. The market has stopped pricing a permanent holder and started pricing what the filings always described: a state-contingent allocator now funding its own preferred dividends, at the margin, from the Bitcoin beneath them. And the buffer is thinning. The cash reserve behind those dividends has fallen from $2.25 billion to $900 million. Against a preferred bill near $1.7 billion a year, that is roughly 6 months of runway. Be precise. This is not a death spiral. Strategy still holds 843,706 Bitcoin, worth more than $50 billion even now, and has more funding levers than almost any company alive. A real rally makes this a footnote, and the sell-side calling the reaction overdone is not wrong on the fundamentals. But the regime has changed. The question is no longer Bitcoin’s price on any given day. It is the cadence of the dividend declarations and the path of that reserve. Bitcoin did not acquire a yield. The wrapper acquired liabilities. This week the market learned that difference costs far more than 32 coins.show more

James Wynn just opened another 40x Bitcoin short. For... him this barely counts as news anymore. A year ago he ran a $1.25 BILLION Bitcoin position, the largest ever seen on Hyperliquid, then lost over $100 MILLION in a month. Instead of stopping, he kept going, getting liquidated more than 200 times and grinding his account from $100 MILLION down to under $1,000. Today it's a 12.57 $BTC short, around $830,000, at the same 40x that already destroyed him once. One small move and it's gone again. Everyone keeps waiting for him to learn his lesson. At some point you have to accept he isn't trading to win, he's just chasing the rush.show more

🤯 Also today, the Astrakhan gas processing plant was... likely damaged during the night. NASA satellites detected a fire in the area of the sulphur storage facility and the Enersal granulated sulphur production plant. The plant processes up to 3.2 million tonnes of petroleum products annually and produces a significant portion of sulphur (~3.3–3.5 million tonnes per year), which is used to manufacture explosives in Russia. Publicly available information indicates that the plant has been successfully attacked at least twice. 🔴Reuters reported that after the drone attack on 22 September 2025, the plant completely stopped production of motor fuel due to a fire at a facility with a capacity of about 3 million tonnes per year. According to sources, the enterprise may resume production only in a few weeks or even months. 🔍According to our observations, two locations were affected: 1. A key part of the plant responsible for converting gas condensate and light hydrocarbons into finished fuel and gases. 2. Buildings on the territory of "Production 1", which is also likely to be involved in the main production processes. 🔴In addition, the plant was successfully hit on the night of 3 January this year. According to our data, the combined technological unit for processing stable gas condensate U-1.731 was damaged. This unit is key to the production of motor fuel — petrol and diesel fuel, which are part of the plant's commercial products. Some of the consequences of the attack can be viewed HERE.show more

The 17th episode of the 11th season of The... Simpsons shows Lisa Simpson as the first female president of the United States, dressed similarly to Kamala Harris at Joe Biden's inauguration. This episode, which aired in 2000, strongly suggests that real estate mogul Donald Trump became president and left behind a budget crisis for Lisa to handle. Joe Biden dropped out today after the Democrats had no more use for him, and he has now endorsed Kamala Harris. Hilary Clinton has officially endorsed Kamala Harris as well. The only chance Kamala Harris has of beating Trump is if they create a black swan event and take down the entire power grid.show more

🚨 Elon Musk’s SpaceX is crashing faster than Meta... did after its IPO. $SPCX has collapsed from $225.64 to below $110. That’s more than 51% wiped out in just six weeks. Back in 2012, $META fell around 61%. But it took nearly three and a half months. SpaceX is moving faster. Most people see a failed IPO. I see panic accelerating before the real opportunity appears. Keep in mind: I’ve called every major $SPX selloff, 2025 $BTC ATH and move from $126K → $60K I was one of the only people who called the top in October, and I’ll do it again, that’s literally my job. If you still haven’t followed me, you’ll regret it.show more
