‘Europe learned the wrong lesson’ on energy from Russia-Ukraine war
Countries that invested in renewable energy in 2022 are better able to withstand the current fuel crisis, experts say.

According to Mandiant's latest threat data, the median time between an initial access event and the hand-off to a secondary threat group dropped from more than 8 hours in 2022 to only 22 seconds in 2025.

Spacecraft's impact changed asteroid's orbit around the sun in a save-the-Earth test, study finds
A new study has found that an asteroid NASA used for target practice a few years ago was nudged into a slightly different route around the sun. It's the first time that a celestial body's solar orbit was deliberately changed. Scientists reported Friday that the 2022 impact by the Dart spacecraft not only trimmed the asteroid's orbit around its bigger space rock companion, but also around the sun. Researchers say their findings could help divert an incoming killer space rock given enough advance…

Several years ago, a street medic described a system like this and wanted to know if it could be built.
https://hackaday.com/2022/09/08/the-tak-ecosystem-military-coordination-goes-open-source/
Back then there was just no way to make it happen. Hardware was too expensive. We couldn't really ever get it cheap enough, per medic, to deploy. Best I could put together was a bunch of burner phones.
But now it's starting to really make sense. LoRa is cheap, and possibly cheaper in bulk. And it wouldn't be necessary to build everything since ATAK-CIV exists and has several open source implementations. It can even tie in to drones (which are illegal to bring to protests in at least a few states).
This has a lot of potential applications for street medic coordination, protest marshal coordination, and for airsoft teams...

I have recommended this album on here more than once. It's a marvellous reproduction of 70s aesthetics and the sonic texture of telephone hold music of yore.

Finished Gotham Knights (2022) on Sunday.
It does add to my continued sense that Batman is about continually dealing with the past and present failures of long-lived social and governmental organisations, and as such - while rooted in America - also feels culturally British.

Den sista viljan – så fick terrornazisterna ett svenskt arv
I mars 2022 dyker en av Europas mest ökända militanta nazister upp på ett vårdhem på Ekerö. 90-åriga Gunilla Heinz har ett drygt år kvar i livet när hon förs ut ur landet. Trots de anhörigas oro ser hennes arv ut att gå rakt in i den våldsbejakande tyska naziströrelsen.

Penguins are breeding much earlier in a warming Antarctic, study finds
Penguins are dramatically shifting their breeding season as the Antarctic peninsula warms, a recent study finds. From 2012 to 2022, researchers used remote cameras to examine the timing of breeding for three penguin species across 37 colonies on the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands. They tracked their ‘settlement date’: when the penguins began continuously occupying […]

After the Republican midterm disappointments of 2022,
Peter Thiel called for a party that could unite “the priest, the general, and the millionaire”
— a formula that reads, with hindsight, as a precise blueprint for Trump’s second administration:
Christian nationalism, military force deployed at home and abroad, and a financial oligarchy powerful enough to steer the state.

Certaines dépenses, connues et récurrentes, n’avaient pas été budgétisées. Jusqu’en 2022, Pascal Broulis, avait l’habitude de ne pas inscrire dans le budget certains coûts, pourtant effectifs, mais de les placer dans des annexes associées aux risques, tenues secrètes aux yeux de la majorité des élus du Grand Conseil alors qu’ils auraient dû en être informés pour pouvoir voter le budget en toute connaissance de cause.
