Probably want to move all those Starlink ground stations, and keep Apple phones away from them until there’s a Starlink patch.

Ur-Fascism point 11: “Everyone is educated to be a hero”.

In one school in the Siberian city of Bratsk, members of Russia’s youth army, Yunarmiya, gathered in February to inaugurate a memorial dedicated to six graduates. A video report of the event published by a local news outlet showed grieving mothers sitting on a school bench as Yunarmia youth read out poems that glorified war. The video then cuts to a young Yunarmia member introduced as Denis who says he “would like to become a hero like these men”.
