US approves sale of ERAM missiles to Ukraine, WSJ reports: https://benborges.xyz/2025/08/24/us-approves-sale-of-eram.html
Mr. President, is the ceasefire in the room with us?
“The launches came after 4 a.m. local time in Tehran, the time Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would stop its attacks if Israel ended their airstrikes.”

“Many State Offices are concerned that Starlink proposals may be the lowest bid and alternative proposals may not be within the 15% window for consideration. What this analysis presents is that across many geographic areas Starlink may not be a qualified bidder as it may be unable to attain the required 100/20 Mbps service level (and, in deploying Starlink services, may actually degrade pre-existing users’ services to the point that they no longer receive minimal broadband speeds).”

Read "Outland" by Dennis E Taylor, book one of the Quantum Earth series in which some college students figure out how to make a portal to parallell Earths just in time for their Earth Prime to suffer a supervolcano.
Taylor is pretty good at this stuff, loved his Bobiverse books.
Story was always progressing, even if it sometimes seemed to progress too slowly. Everyone's hip with all the literature so are comparing their situation to movies and TV shows all the time. Realistic cat-herding difficulties as they try and save as many people as they can and slowly realize that none of them will be going home and their home is doomed.
Looking forward to the next one.

Vance sieht "erhebliche Zugeständnisse" Russlands

"Ich denke, die Russen haben Präsident Trump gegenüber zum ersten Mal in den dreieinhalb Jahren dieses Konflikts erhebliche Zugeständnisse gemacht", sagte Vance in einem Interview mit dem Sender NBC.

This is very good from Mike Masnick, although I’d prefer a different headline. Like, it’s not in your self-interest as a tech person to embrace fascism. One of many choice quotes:

Or you can bet your company’s future on a dictator who eagerly promises to make everything simple and efficient mainly by ignoring the nu…

„Die EU-Mitgliedsstaaten machen sich zum Erfüllungsgehilfen der Lobbyverbände und schwächen das EU-Lieferkettengesetz noch weiter ab als die Kommission.“ Eine Einigung auf diesen Vorschlag würde die Schutzwirkung massiv schwächen. Kritik kommt auch vom World Wide Fund for Nature. Statt wie bisher 5.500 deutsche Unternehmen wären nur weniger als 300 von neuen Sorgfaltspflichten betroffen, rechnet der WWF vor. Es wäre wie neue Verkehrsregeln, die dann nur für 5 Prozent der Autos gelten.“

It puts people and actions into a context that describes the complex reality of a given time. And we can (must?) learn from that.

And then their adversary’s ballistic missiles aren’t hyper accurate.
