Bit of a break from politics. Here's a wonderful & very emotional clip from Band of Brothers. WWII has ended. The German forces have surrendered and a German general asks permission to give a parting address to his soldiers. The men listen as the General's words are translated by an American soldier. Its interesting to observe the faces of the allied troops, as they slowly realise that the words of the German General apply just as well to themselves. Then the unspoken thought arises. Have they been fighting and killing their own brothers? The overall scene is a brilliant comment on who really suffers from wars. Its a very succinct and understated message that has more impact for the subdued manner by which it is conveyed. IMHO a wonderful piece of screenplay.

Most companies badly want to get to modern, cost-effective, secure technology infrastructure, which means getting away from mainframes, moving from VMware to native cloud compute, and evolving from proprietary .NET only able to run on Windows to a cross-platform .NET you can run on Linux for better price, support, and security. But, there is a lot of work between wanting and doing. Here comes AI-powered AWS Transform, which dramatically simplifies these daunting projects. The early results are pretty remarkable to see. Customers are dropping their .NET modernization costs by 40%, completing VMware network transformation 80x faster, and cutting mainframe modernization timelines from years to months. Very excited to make this generally available for our customers.

In December 1944, the Germans launched a surprise offensive through the Ardennes Forest. Bastogne—a small Belgian town where seven key roads converged—became a critical objective. Between Dec. 17 and 18, the 101st Airborne Division was alerted and rushed in by truck to hold the crossroads at all costs. They won the race to Bastogne, but within days were surrounded. Cut off from supplies, the defenders faced blistering cold, shortages of food and ammunition, and constant German attacks. On Dec. 22, Germans demanded surrender. 101st Airborne Division Acting Commander Brig. Gen. Anthony McAuliffe replied: “Nuts!” For nearly a week, the 101st held strong until Patton’s Third Army broke through on Dec. 26, ending German hopes of capturing Bastogne. Their mettle helped blunt the last major German offensive of the war. May the legacy of their courage endure, like the white marble that marks their final resting places.

The Audie Murphy biopic To Hell and Back (1955) gets it right with how to knockout a German tank. The Americans and Germans are fighting over control of a farmhouse at Anzio. The purpose is to get artillery spotters with a radio on the top floor. The forward observer team uses its radio to direct naval gunfire on five German tanks which are assaulting their position. The platoon leader Lt. Manning, who buys the farm, is shown carrying a "handie walkie" handheld radio. American units in World War 2 were in constant communication with each other. Combined arms means coordinating infantry, armor, artillery, air, and sea power which the US excelled at. A few nitpicks aside, the reason this scene from To Hell and Back comes off as real, as poignant, is because it was lifted directly from Murphy's own exploits as told in his autobiography by the same name.

Now that is interesting! After the German initiative to strengthen Ukrainian air defence did not give Ukraine any new Patriot batteries apart from the German one, the Netherlands is now trying something different. They want to assemble a battery from different countries. Serious talks are being held with various countries about this. A great (and not new) idea! Very simply explained, it would work in such a way that the Netherlands, for example, provides various launchers and the radar unit, while say the US supplies 100 missiles and additional launchers, Spain provides the ECS and so on. The idea behind this is that countries do not lose their entire Patriot capability (as in the case of the US and Germany), but only have to re-procure individual parts. Personally, I would be interested in Germany's role in this regard. I can't imagine that we haven't already tried this as part of our IAAD initiative, or are working on it together with the Netherlands. After all, the Netherlands also said “no” to Germany when it came to supplying a Patriot battery to Ukraine. So very interesting, let's keep an eye on that!

This vid has been going viral on Chinese social media, and as a Maldivian, I found it really interesting. He was the village head to a small village called Yongxing in Guizhou Province, a community of around 2,000 people, not very different from one of our islands. During his tenure, he focused on lifting people out of poverty, helping villagers build their own businesses, and stand on their own feet as a community. When his term ended and he was about to leave, the villagers literally broke down in tears, walking with him to see him off. It makes me wonder, will we ever see a day when an island council head or an MP serves their people so well that islanders and constituents cry, beg them to stay, and ask them to continue serving!?

How will US tariffs on Chinese imports impact German or Indian exporters? You can now explore millions of these scenarios using the OEC Tariff Simulator. It's very simple. 1. Choose an importer (eg USA) 2. Choose an exporter (eg China) 3. Choose an additional tariff rate (eg 10%) The simulation generates three visualizations. The first shows the expected change between these two countries (eg a drop in exports from China to the US). The second shows the impact on other countries (eg if the US imports less from China, it may start importing more from Mexico, Germany, etc.). Now, here's where things get really interesting. Click on any of these countries, and you’ll see a third visualization showing the impact on each of their products. For example, clicking on Germany shows that tariffs on China benefit German car part exporters. Clicking on India shows that the benefit goes to those exporting house linens and mattresses. There are millions of scenarios to explore. Of course, these are just estimates from a statistical model (we don’t have a crystal ball), so please take them with a pinch of salt. We are working on improving the model and developing an interface that allows users to explore more complex scenarios. To play with the tariff explorer, search for the Observatory of Economic Complexity or visit OEC dot world.

On this day, 72 years ago, Alfred Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder" (1954) had its test screening at Huntington Park, California, USA. Here is a very interesting trivia about the filming of this particular scene: Alfred Hitchcock had chosen a very expensive richly red velvet robe for Grace Kelly to wear when she answers the phone in this scene. Grace, working from her understanding of her character, told Hitchcock that a woman alone, roused from sleep, would not bother to put on her robe: “I’d just get up and go to the phone in my nightgown.” Hitchcock agreed to try it, and he quickly saw that Grace was right; he was also happily surprised to discover that the nightgown added a sexiness to the murder attempt that was perfectly in keeping with his skewed sensibilities, and he allowed Kelly to make all costume decisions for herself in their subsequent movies together.

The next big thing is Asynchronous Coding Agents. Such Agents change our role as engineers from Conductor (directing one agent at a time) to Orchestrator (defining tasks for a "fleet" of agents working in parallel), for very well-defined tasks with human review. GitHub's Copilot Agent, as covered at #githubuniverse, is one such example I've been trying and liking. There are a number of options also worth considering, including Jules (also great!), Codex web by OpenAI Developers, and Anthropic's Claude Code for web. Editors like Cursor are also exploring this with some very interesting UX ideas. For the more advanced, orchestrators like Claude Squad, Magnet and Conductor by (nice balance on the engineering/product spectrum) are certainly worth considering. Some caveats: Orchestration has been working well for me in small-medium sized projects: for fixing UI bugs, adding small features etc. This can be good for tackling migrations, upgrading dependencies etc. Enterprise teams are very much still figuring out their "Conductor" patterns but eventually, I do see more orchestration becoming a standard part of the engineering workflow.

Pretty sick of seeing the NZ media just sitting there listening while Maori Party reps spit out Marxists lies one after the other after the other. Why doesn't media challenge these complete inversions of reality? Such as we see exampled in the attached video where would be MP Oriini Kaipara claims Maori party MPs are treated with disrespect in parliament. When the stark reality is that no one in the house has ever shown so much disrespect as we have seen from the Maori Party MPs. Singing, playing guitar, shouting and performing primitive war dances. On one occasion even threatening other Maori MPs with shooting gestures. While their supporters in the public gallery cheer them on in their ill-mannered infantile behaviour. The man in the street is sick of seeing a small faction of vainglorious Marxist racists attempt to hijack the Maori race for their own political benefit. By claiming they have been disadvantaged by colonialism etc. Leaving aside that they are there by the artifice of special Maori seats that are actually illegitimate today. Its time weak perfunctory legacy media presenters like Jack Tame did their job. By confronting these country-splitting Marxists on their insane self serving lies. If any MP from the center right tried to spin such BS they'd be challenged instantly.

B-52H Crash at Edwards AFB. 8 souls. This was a B-52H Stratofortress assigned to the 412th Test Wing, and multiple reports indicate it was one of the Air Force’s dedicated test aircraft involved in the Radar Modernization Program (RMP) flight test effort. The aircraft was carrying a mixed crew of military personnel, government civilians, and contractors on a radar test mission when it crashed shortly after takeoff. From a test pilot perspective, the crew size is notable. A normal operational B-52H crew is five, but there were eight personnel aboard, which strongly suggests this was a developmental test sortie with additional flight-test engineers, contractors, or instrumentation specialists riding along. A very tragic day for the test community. Edwards, TPS, Boeing, and the bomber folks are a very small world. Eight souls lost on what should have been a “routine developmental flight”. But nothing is routine in military and test aviation. God bless their souls and families. The No Fallen Heroes Foundation Foundation is standing by to support the families. SuziNFH

With four rickety planes patched together largely from Nazi spare parts, a handful of mostly American volunteers helped save Tel Aviv and give birth to the State of Israel. On May 14, 1948, as David Ben-Gurion declared independence, five Arab armies invaded the fledgling Jewish state. Egypt’s forces pushed up the coast toward Tel Aviv. Israel had almost no air force. Enter the Machalniks: thousands of volunteers from abroad — many American WWII veterans, Jewish and non-Jewish — who answered the call. They evaded the U.S. arms embargo and FBI scrutiny, risked their citizenship, and smuggled planes through secret networks, often via Czechoslovakia. The planes were Avia S-199s — Czech-built versions of the German Messerschmitt Bf 109, powered by mismatched bomber engines. Dubbed the “Messer” (knife) by Israelis, they were temperamental and dangerous to fly. On May 29, American pilot Lou Lenart (Hungarian-born U.S. Marine veteran) led the IAF’s first combat mission. With three others — including future president Ezer Weizman — they bombed and strafed the Egyptian column in a daring attack. The stunned Egyptians, convinced Israel had no air power, halted their advance on Tel Aviv. One plane was lost to anti-aircraft fire, but the mission succeeded in buying critical time. These volunteers formed the backbone of the early IAF. They flew fighters, bombers, and transports, helped wrest control of the skies, and delivered supplies to besieged areas. From scrap metal, daring smuggling runs, and unbreakable will came the foundation of one of the world’s most formidable air forces. This remarkable true story is a timeless reminder of how a people fighting for survival with ingenuity and resolve can overcome even the longest odds. ✈️🇮🇱

Ross Coulthart thinks the Mormon church has an inordinate amount of people within the legacy UFO program and he knows who they are 😳 and also the church of Scientology knows more about UFOs than it’s letting on Link to source in comments Rosscoe -“One thing that does interest me is I do think the Church of Scientology knows a lot more than it's letting on, and it's interesting because Danny Sheen has indicated something about this. I strongly recommend people go back and have a look at his interviews. I also think that it's interesting that the Mormon Church has an inordinate number of people working inside the legacy program. And yes, we know who you are. I have names, I have locations. I have people who are managerial roles in the Mormon church who just also happen to be in very senior positions in the Legacy program. And it's interesting, maybe, maybe people in the Mormon faith find it in many ways because so much of the Mormon faith is derived, allegedly from an alien communication. If you read the history of the church, maybe they believe that it validates their religion for this to be revealed or explored, I don't know. But no, I'm not aware of any kind of sect or religion that is sharing this knowledge. I do think that there are some religious institutions, though, such as the Mormons and the Scientologists that have done a lot of work into this area. And frankly, I don't think there's anything sinister in that. If I had the resources, I'd be pouring money into investigating this as well.”

Disgusting and vile. This person HATES attractive white women who cosplay, sneering at their passion, dismissing it as "boring." Asmongold destroys him. Listen to the jealousy dripping from his words; it's a bitter attack on women for daring to be confident and feminine. It's not just a tantrum — it's a toxic pattern. Another reason trans people deserve no sympathy. Their resentment of beautiful, confident women fuels a need to control and dominate. They invade women's spaces, bully, and trample rights, thriving on making women feel small, silenced, erased. It's why attractive women in games are being vilified or erased — transmorons can't stand the reminder of what they'll never be, so they seek to censor it. Their resentment has reached a disturbing peak, driving them to accuse real women online of being fake, AI, fabricated — all in a twisted attempt to strip them of their humanity. Their relentless harassment isn't just about control; it's calculated dehumanization, reducing women to objects of contempt, as if their very existence demands justification, or elimination. They lash out, desperate to tear down women who outshine them in intelligence and beauty, incapable of accepting confidence in those they seek to diminish. These people deserve no respect or sympathy.

Jean-Luc Godard on what audience don't like to watch in movies & the one interesting moment in Sam Mendes's "American Beauty" (1999): "We have to admit that three-quarters of the population wouldn't want to see a film that tells their story. I like to watch people working, but a woman TV host or journalist will never watch herself working for an hour, unless out of egoism or narcissism. I can watch a worker who makes the same gesture over and over again. The worker would be bored to tears if he had to watch himself. People don't want to see their lives, only a little bit of their lives. Americans are very good from that point of view. Everything is done by the viewers, who have just enough of the springboard they need. 'American Beauty' (1999), which was very successful, is not bad in certain respects. If I were a film critic, that's what I would say. There is one interesting moment in the film. A young boy films his girlfriend. We see the scene in 35 mm from several angles, as well as the shot being filmed by the small camera. Suddenly we see four seconds of 'Faces' (1968). But if you don't show that shot, you have to do something else, what Kazan or Nicholas Ray did. Those are only samples. People like that a lot because they have the time to identify with [the sequence], then you go on to other things, come back, and so on." ("Jean-Luc Godard The Future(s) of Film Three Interviews 2000-01", Translated by John O'Toole, 2001)

If I were a film critic, that's what I would say. There is one interesting moment in the film. A young boy films his girlfriend. We see the scene in 35 mm from several angles, as well as the shot being filmed by the small camera. Suddenly we see four seconds of 'Faces' (1968). But if you don't show that shot, you have to do something else, what Kazan or Nicholas Ray did. Those are only samples. People like that a lot because they have the time to identify with [the sequence], then you go on to other things, come back, and so on." ("Jean-Luc Godard The Future(s) of Film Three Interviews 2000-01", Translated by John O'Toole, 2001)

Cross-Chain Brand Building: Why Pudgy Penguins and Mythical Games Are Proof Polkadot’s Bet on Collectibles Will Pay Off Polkadot has often been described as the chain of chains. But beneath the technical layers, something more cultural is happening: it’s effortlessly becoming the go-to ecosystem for consumer-facing brands that want to scale their collectibles beyond the blockchain echo chamber. From Luca Netz 🐧✳️ turning Pudgy Penguins into a global brand, to John Linden expanding Mythical Games into mainstream entertainment, more and more collectibles strategies are starting to orbit around Polkadot. Luca Netz: Betting the House on Brand Luca Netz doesn’t mince words when it comes to his philosophy. For him, the product is important, but the brand is everything. When he took over Pudgy Penguins, he wasn’t just reviving another NFT collection; he was setting out to prove that Web3-native collectibles could rival Disney or Pokémon in cultural reach. He said, “I’m a distribution maxi. I believe the biggest companies in the world are brand-led. When you create something people emotionally connect with, the tech becomes secondary,”. That conviction has taken Pudgy Penguins far beyond the confines of the crypto-native audience. Plush toys in Walmart, licensing deals with global partners, and a digital avatar system that doesn’t ask users to understand wallets or gas fees. It’s a masterclass in making Web3 collectibles invisible to the mainstream. The chain itself? Almost inconsequential, as long as the experience feels seamless. But behind the curtain, Polkadot is emerging as the infrastructure that allows such brands to not only exist but also interoperate. For Luca, the long game isn’t about proving blockchain; it’s about proving that Web3-born characters can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with legacy entertainment collectibles. John Linden: Gaming as Invisible Web3 John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games and a DROPS guest, approaches the same problem from a different angle. Where Luca fixates on brand as the emotional anchor, Linden sees gaming collectibles as the Trojan horse to onboard millions into Web3 without them even knowing it. “Our philosophy is invisible Web3. We don’t want gamers thinking about tokens and wallets. We want them playing, trading, and owning inside worlds they already love,” he said. Mythical has already shown that its approach works. With titles like NFL Rivals 🏈, FIFA Rivals, and partnerships with Pudgy Penguins (Pudgy Party), the company has built game economies where owning and trading digital items feels seamless, not like a tech experiment. And by moving over to Polkadot, with Enter the Mythos, Mythical is signalling something important: Polkadot’s ability to connect different blockchains and manage rules collectively makes it a stronger foundation for building long-lasting collectibles ecosystems than single, isolated blockchains. Linden’s bet is that gaming collectibles will be the bridge. The characters and assets people already care about, such as NFL or FIFA players or penguins in hoodies, will become the framework for digital ownership. And once again, Polkadot’s multi-chain design makes it the natural habitat for scaling these experiments into global networks. Polkadot as the Convergence Layer What’s striking is how Luca and John, from different industries, are converging on the same truth: collectibles, not infrastructure, are what move people. But infrastructure determines how far that culture can travel. This is where Polkadot’s strategy shines. With its parachain model, Polkadot isn’t asking creators to bet everything on one monolithic chain. It’s offering a flexible, interoperable base where brands can plug in, retain sovereignty, and still tap into a wider ecosystem of users and liquidity. Whether it’s Pudgy Penguins bringing plush toys into Walmart or Mythical Games powering invisible Web3 economies, the common denominator is a need for scalable, secure, and consumer-ready infrastructure. That’s the bet Polkadot is making, and with each new collectible choosing it as a home, the bet looks smarter. The Bigger Picture In the early days of Web3, infrastructure wars dominated the conversation. Today, it’s clear that the next phase of adoption will be won not by the flashiest consensus algorithm but by the strongest consumer assets, such as the characters, stories, and worlds people actually care about. Polkadot’s edge is becoming the preferred convergence point for those collectibles. By aligning with visionaries like Luca Netz and John Linden, it’s positioning itself not just as another blockchain but as the cultural backbone for Web3’s mainstream moment. 👉 If you enjoyed reading this excerpt, head over to When Shift Happens on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform to access the full convo.

🇱🇹 In January 1991, in Vilnius, the Soviet Union revealed its true face After Lithuania became the first Soviet republic to declare the restoration of independence on March 11, 1990, the Kremlin refused to accept the loss of control. Less than a year later, the USSR attempted to retake the country by force - through military pressure, intimidation, and outright violence. On the early morning of January 13, 1991, Soviet troops and special units stormed the Vilnius TV Tower and the Radio and Television Committee building. Unarmed civilians came out to defend their country, their media, and their right to be free. As a result of the attack, 14 Lithuanians were killed, and around 900 were injured. They were killed for seeking to escape the Soviet "prison of nations." Later, in an attempt to distance himself from responsibility for the deaths, Mikhail Gorbachev claimed he had no knowledge of the operation and had given no such orders. The January events in Vilnius became a symbol of the collapse of the Soviet myth of "brotherly peoples" and a "voluntary union." Until its very end, the USSR was willing to hold onto its colonies only by force of arms.

🚨 The Libertarian Party had a disappointing federal election result. What's next? When other political parties have a disappointing election result they typically announce they will scrap the old policies ... and by the next election will have sparkling new ones. The elephant in the room is they didn't truly believe in their old policies and they won't truly believe in their future policies. The whole operation is a never-ending attempt to manipulate voters into elevating them to high office. The Libertarian Party is a party of principle. When we get the votes to win, great ... but if we don't the principles unflinchingly remain. On Monday Real Mark Latham posted on X, 'How did fiscal responsibility go in the election? Only the Libertarians campaigned on it, and they got 2%.' A generation ago the dominant bloc in the Liberal Party federal party room were the dries - economic rationalists concerned with low taxes, light regulations, small government and fostering free enterprise. Those dries had such persuasive arguments that in the 1980s they even convinced much of the federal Labor Party caucus. That period of economic sanity laid the foundations for three decades of solid economic performance resulting in general prosperity and an upbeat national mood. It ended with Kevin Rudd ushering in the era of big government and was consolidated under three Liberal Party PMs. But the dries in the federal parliamentary party room of the Liberal Party are today critically endangered and quite possibly extinct. Surprise suprise, we have huge debt, high inflation, big deficits, a per capita recession and a downbeat national mood. It's very hard to see things not deteriorating under three more years of Labor. Today in parliament (see below) I reiterated the Libertarian Party 2025 federal policy platform of which we remain resolutely proud and which will remain the foundation of future federal elections. If you agree with 50% of our platform you should vote for us. If you agree with 60% of our platform you should tell your friends to vote for us. If you agree with 70% of our platform you should volunteer for us. If you agree with 80% of our platform you should pay a small membership fee and help shape the party If you agree with 90% of our platform you should be candidate in future elections.
