An old Soviet satellite has shattered in orbit due to a collision with space debris, increasing the risk of accidents in the already crowded space, as companies and governments continue to plan the launch of tens of thousands of new satellites. #spazzaturaorbitante #satelliti #detritospaziale (translated)

A second-category wizard published an anecdote about a shepherd in Šumava who was visited by a young man in a Tesla. Using a drone, satellite image, and analytical software, he calculated that there were exactly 482 animals in the herd, and as a reward, he took one of them away. The shepherd then labeled the young man as a member of the ruling coalition. He explained that the young man had arrived uninvited, demanded a reward for answering a question that nobody had asked him, and used expensive technology to show off his cleverness, even though he knew nothing about the shepherd's life. He added that it was not a herd of sheep, but goats, and asked the young man to return his dog. #technologie #humor #život (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that a tweet from Flor Carignano about DNU 70/23 showed, in his opinion, that Kirchnerism was against the benefits that the norm had granted to Argentines. He described it as a force protecting the "elite" and claimed that its proposals would lead to stagnation and poverty. In defending the decree, Sturzenegger said that after the repeal of the Rental Law, four times more apartments were being published and that prices had dropped by more than 30% in real terms. He also stated that, since the DNU, the prices of medications had fallen by 20% in real terms; domestic tickets by 51%; and tourist packages by 40%. He added that in 2025 there were 33 million passengers and that international connections from cities in the interior increased by 70%. Regarding foreign trade, he attributed part of the 63% drop in appliance prices and the 43% drop in textiles to the changes in the decree. He also said that more than 750,000 satellite internet connections allowed access for almost 3 million people in the interior, and that tourism reforms had increased the number of agencies by almost 40% and employment in the sector by more than 10%. Sturzenegger pointed out that some labor and land provisions had been taken to Congress, while others had been challenged in court. He stated that the DNU had removed trade restrictions, reduced paperwork, and allowed contracts in the chosen currency, among other changes. He concluded that the debate about the decree should be kept in mind in the elections of the following year. #DNU70 #Kirchnerismo #Argentina (translated)

"They came within tens to hundreds of meters of our satellites, far too close to be reassured." SpaceX has recently seen "many examples" of satellites that came dangerously close to those of the company, executive Michael Nicolls told the International Astronautical Congress that took place in Turkey until Friday. #SpaceX #satellieten #ruimtevaart (translated)

SpaceX warns of the increasing risks in outer space and urges other companies to be more transparent about their satellite movements to prevent cosmic collisions, as the number of satellites in orbit around the Earth significantly increases. #SpaceX #satellieten #ruimtevaart (translated)

Bety Kovač wrote that the reactions to the posts of Russian ministries indicated that some Russians support the killing of Ukrainians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. She referred to the Russian side with a derogatory term and described the intervention at the Yandex data center as a digital "detox." She stated that Yandex was not prepared for the consequences and that this was only the third data center that had also been damaged, according to earlier satellite images, not completely destroyed. She claimed that everything in Russia is connected to Yandex and called for continued attacks on similar objects. She characterized their intervention as the exercise of Ukraine's undeniable right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and a step towards reducing the military-economic potential of the Russian Federation. #Ukrajina #Yandex #DigitálníDetox (translated)

Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas criticized the PT and the left, stating that they were neglecting the situation in the Amazon. He said that São Paulo demonstrated that a right-wing government could reconcile environmental preservation and development. According to Freitas, in 2025 the area affected by fires in state conservation units fell by 91% compared to 2024. He also stated that in August 2026, the state recorded the lowest number of hotspots for that month since the beginning of the historical series in 1998. He mentioned that more than R$ 400 million had been mobilized to prevent and combat wildfires, with investments in technology, satellite monitoring, and artificial intelligence. The governor also declared that over 44,000 hectares were in the process of forest restoration and that 13.2 thousand hectares had been incorporated into state protected areas. Regarding river recovery, he cited R$ 22 billion in investments in IntegraTietê, more than 1.5 million households connected to the sewage network, and 6.5 million cubic meters of sediments removed from the Tietê basin. According to him, the organic pollution load of the river had decreased by almost 30%, and the pollution stain had receded by 33 kilometers, about 16%. Freitas stated that these actions had not impeded economic development, job creation, and the growth of São Paulo, and he argued that environmental protection depended on responsibility and work, not ideology. #MeioAmbiente #DesenvolvimentoSustentável #SãoPaulo (translated)

Jack Strong wrote that if Kołodziejczak were a member of PiS, the TVN satellite van would appear outside his house, and TVN24 would broadcast a special edition. According to the author, Środa and Szczuka would then talk about the "hell of women," Zieliński and Duda would cover the case in "Superwizjer," and Warcholiński and Sulowski would discuss it in "Czarno na białym." He added that this is how representatives of PiS were treated at TVN, and Samul and Durlik supervised the entire situation. He emphasized that Kołodziejczak is not associated with the right. #Polska #polityka #TVN (translated)

The author wrote that T-Mobile is under pressure due to Elon Musk's entry into the mobile communications business. Instead of relying on cell towers, Musk is focusing on phone connections via satellite, which offers a clear advantage in sparsely populated areas. Stock prices have already begun to move; the parent company Deutsche Telekom has been notoriously weak anyway. #TMoblie #ElonMusk #Telekommunikation #DE #US (translated)

The post compared Elon Musk’s 2026 challenge to India through satellites, technology and competition with Commodore Perry’s 1853 arrival in Japan, which it said had forced the country to confront the outside world.

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)
