Ukraine is using new Beaver drones to attack targets within Russia's borders. Ukraine has in recent days attacked Moscow, with drones crashing into a high-rise building. Open-source intelligence experts have posted footage of recent drone attacks in Moscow, and said the aircraft appeared to be Ukrainian Beaver drones. The "Beaver" drone is being built with the help of influencer Ihor Lachenkov, who has recently shed light on Ukraine's secretive drone warfare program. Ukraine appears to have stepped up its drone attacks against Moscow in recent months.

The comebacks have received euphoric reviews, but they are occurring at a starkly different moment for British pop music, compared with the ’90s. In 1996 Newsweek declared London the world’s coolest city. Instead, news articles about the country’s music scene are more likely to touch on venues shuttering — at a rate of one a week this year, according to the nonprofit Music Venue Trust — or the country’s bands, DJs and rappers struggling to tour abroad after Brexit brought in a tangle of red tape. Local news outlets have also lamented the British government’s cuts to arts funding, and warned about the decline of music teaching in schools. Sitting in his West London recording studio recently, Albarn said some things hadn’t changed since Britpop’s heyday.

☆ More countries using advanced F-35 fighter jets could free up F-16s for Ukraine, former Lockheed Martin exec says
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-21 | by ( Sinéad Baker | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

More militaries are turning to F-35s for their air forces, a former Lockheed Martin exec said. Tom Burbage told Newsweek that the adoption of F-35s frees up F-16s for air forces like Ukraine's. It says the aircraft would boost its air force, which is currently made up of Soviet-era jets. Experts say that Ukraine receiving advanced jets could help to deter Russia's air force, which hasn't played a notable role in the invasion due to Ukraine's advanced air defense systems. Retired Air Marshal Greg Bagwell, a former senior commander in the UK's air force, told Newsweek that F-16s are "slowly becoming 'surplus' because of the F-35 orders."

☆ Why Einstein wasn't part of the Manhattan Project even though he convinced President Roosevelt to build an atomic bomb

Albert Einstein sent a letter in 1939 that helped convinced FDR to launch the Manhattan Project. But Einstein was not part of the secretive program run by J. Robert Oppenheimer to develop a nuclear weapon. The letter cited the Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard's work, and Szilard helped draft the letter, which Einstein signed. The Manhattan Project was officially created in August 1942, months after the US entered the war. The Manhattan Project is the center of a new biopic from director Christopher Nolan.

☆ Opinion: With their leader still missing, who will control Wagner forces in Africa?
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-18 | by ( Joyce M. Davis | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

Wagner forces appear to despise the Russian military, as Prigozhin’s reckless march from Ukraine toward Moscow made abundantly clear. That’s why when Wagner forces started withdrawing from Ukraine last month, many feared the same might happen in Africa. And who can guarantee Wagner forces won’t turn on African leaders who decide to side with Putin? “Don’t worry, we aren’t going anywhere.”It’s not as if Russia could repatriate and replace Wagner forces with verifiably loyal Russian troops — even if it wanted to. And quite frankly, Africa will only emerge better-off if democratic governments emerge after Wagner forces are shown the door.

The dip in Bud Light sales persisted through the end of June, USA Today reported.

Russian forces in Zaporizhia have been on the frontlines without a break for nine months, a military blogger wrote. Russian forces have "no available personnel to replace them with," the Institute for the Study of War said. While some Russian commanders have tried to give soldiers a break, they later faced retaliation from higher-ranking officers, the blogger wrote. The psychological toll of Putin's war in Ukraine on Russian forces has been extensively reported on. Instead, he was sent to the frontlines in eastern Ukraine and captured by Ukrainian forces a few days later.

A graphic purporting to show Garth Brooks playing to a nearly empty arena has its origins in a satirical article but the image is circulating online without that context, prompting comments suggesting that the event really happened.

The original photo used in the article and the image circulating online shows Brooks performing in May 2022 at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio (here). Reuters has previously debunked claims about Garth Brooks that originated on the Dunning-Kruger Times site (here), (here). The claim that Garth Brooks performed in an empty arena after refusing to ban Bud Light from his new bar originated on a satirical website.

But something went wrong in Putin’s approach, and it wasn’t just the incompetence of his military, the bravery of Ukrainians or the intercession by the West. In a nutshell, the problem is this: A monopoly on truth can be sustained only through a monopoly on violence. Big Brother can tell the Big Lie only if he has the Big — and only — Gun. But it creates risks, including the risk that someone from one of those centers of power will be willing to tell an inconvenient truth. And it may be why he appeared to have been treated as a hero, almost a liberator, in Rostov-on-Don.
