🇨🇺💬💥 — A resident of Havana shares her harrowing experience amidst prolonged blackouts and the desperation gripping Cuba:
“Good morning, my dear. I haven’t been able to communicate with anyone for days, precisely because of the situation here in Cuba. Since Thursday, they cut off our electricity at 9 in the morning and restored it at 6 in the evening. Well, that’s fine. But then on Friday, they cut it off at 11 in the morning and we didn’t get it back until today at 5:05 in the morning.
Sixty-six hours straight without power. It’s been total chaos. Phones without charge, no connection, they shut down the internet because that pig, Marrano, said that the uproar and popular discontent was caused by the misuse of social media, not because they’re a bunch of bastards; no, no.
So, no connection, no communication, nothing. You can’t imagine the desperation of everyone: food going bad, a total collapse. Not even the emergency generators in the clinics were working. People were paying 250, 300 pesos just to charge their phones for a little bit anywhere that had a generator. People took to the streets, but the police, you know… So, my dear, this is unbearable. I hope all is well with you, and I wish you a good week.”

The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

I refuse to call it a farm because it is an insult to farmers.
