There Will Be a New Approach to the Use of Air Defense by the Air Force – Address by President #Zelenskyy 19.01.2026
Extract
Mobile fire groups, interceptor drones, and other means of short-range air defense – this system will be transformed. I approved the appointment of a new Deputy Commander of the Air Force – Pavlo Yelizarov. In the army, he is known for Lazar, a special unit that operates – and operates effectively.

'Europe is at a total loss': Russia gloats over Greenland tensions
The BBC's Russia editor Steve Rosenberg analyses why pro-Russian government papers are full of praise for Donald Trump's desire to buy Greenland.Steve Rosenberg (BBC News)
In 2026, the russian economy is not yet in decline, but it is in real trouble.
War-driven growth is losing momentum, sanctions are tightening, financial reserves are shrinking, and uncertainty is increasingly shaping everyday life.
What for a while looked like resilience is proving fragile, as the economic costs of the war spread beyond the battlefield.

I firmly believe you should develop apps natively for that platform. That means jetpack-compose for android, and swift ui for iOS.
These write-once-for-all platforms layers are always bloated, slow, unoptimized, and behind the official native specs.
Decent programmers know how to learn new languages and frameworks as necessary, and most of the concepts are the same across programming languages. Nothing near as difficult as learning a real language.

Zohran is expanding the number of public toilets in NYC and improving how the existing ones are cleaned and maintained.
If this is a big enough initiative it will have a huge impact on quality of life for new yorkers. I don't know if it is big enough. Nonetheless *this* is the way to address the things that make people feel like the city is a dump. It's also just... civilized. IDK. How do you call it a city and you have no bathrooms?
Anyway welcome to communism.

Hey, remember that time in 1938 when Britain's Neville Chamberlain met with Adolf Hitler and, being convinced that ol' Adolf just wanted Czechoslovakia and nothing else (despite the anchluss of Austria a few months before), signed the Munich Agreement, which basically allowed the nazis to invade Czechoslovakia?
And then Chamberlain returned to England having just signed the Munich Agreement and told crowds in London the Agreement meant "peace in our time?"
Not sure why that's come to mind lately.
Also, why is Greenland in the news so much lately? Is something happening?

#ICE kidnapped four members of the Oglala Sioux Nation and is trying to hold them hostage to force the Sioux to work with #DHS. Working on tribal land would give them legal impunity, so they've been trying to bribe or force Native tribes to work with them across the country. The natives are standing strong-- they don't take bribes and don't negotiate with terrorists.
