To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

Iran's Bushehr NPP: A regional radiation disaster WILL NOT happen

1️⃣ VVER-1000 reactors have ZERO combustible graphite to burn for days
2️⃣ The 4-foot thick reinforced concrete dome shrugs off standard artillery
3️⃣ Even if breached, heavy radioactive aerosols settle locally within a <10km radius

Neighboring countries are completely safe from massive fallout. My breakdown here 🔽

🚨 MAYDAY from Belarus 🚨

I am EU1AEY, and this is an SOS to the global amateur radio community. My heart is breaking. Today, in Belarus, a harmless technical hobby is being treated as high treason.

Help me amplify this signal before our keys are silenced forever. Show this to a journalist, relay it to your national radio associations, and don’t let this intellectual genocide happen in total silence.

Picking up our AI bubble talk, this stuff should be the hot topic at every coffee shop, but nah, it's stuck in those nerdy tech mags 😔

2026 tech forecasts

2026 won’t be “the year of AI” – it’s the year inequality hardens. The rich get biology-as-a-service and life-extension; the rest get chatbot nutritionists. AI drifts from romantic experimentation to control tech and war infrastructure. Space turns into another military–industrial theater. Belarus is a case study in how universities become a tech back office for authoritarian regimes

My Top AI-skepticism interview of 2025

I featured in an AI documentary, but key insights got cut. So I gave a dedicated interview unpacking my skepticism. It's my best tech talk this year, recommended even for AI newcomers.

Weather Balloons as Smuggling Tools?

The recent border crisis involving #weather #balloons over Lithuania has everyone pointing fingers at smugglers. But what if the truth is less about crime and more about... #science?

In my latest analysis, I ran the numbers. The result? Using high-altitude balloons for cigarette smuggling is a logistical nightmare. A simple drone would be cheaper, faster, and far more effective.

What's Lurking in Your Tap Water?

A reader's question about nitrosodimethylamine in chlorinated water sent me down a rabbit hole. I often mention nitrosamines when discussing cured meats or tobacco, but I've never done a full overview for our community.

These compounds are everywhere, quietly forming from common pollutants. It's a recurring toxicological theme that deserves a closer look.

So, let's fix that. Here is the full breakdown:

My Perspective on Agroclimatic Adaptation in Eastern Europe: The Case of Belarus

Belarusian agriculture faces a climate tipping point: traditional crops are on the way out, and only bold adaptation—think corn, sunflower, and sorghum—can keep the fields alive

'Varkhi' tornado in Belarus

Belarus is facing a new climate reality: tornadoes are becoming more frequent and severe. July’s EF2 tornado in Varkhi village is a wake-up call for adaptation and climate resilience. Scientists urge investment in resilience and adaptation as tornadoes become a new normal for Belarus.
