So Long And Thanks For All The Fish - Ukraine bombs Russian Nuclear Bombers
It doesn’t only impact Russia’s illegal war, the destruction of so many of Russia’s bombers will undoubtedly impact Russia’s ability to project power globally. We already know Russia’s land based military equipment is ill maintained and falling apart, what makes anyone believe the same is not true of its Air Force? -

Thai Firm Signs Gas Deal With Myanmar Junta Amid Rights Concerns
MoI A Thai energy company has signed a new offshore gas deal with Myanmar’s junta, marking the first such agreement since the 2021 military coup—despite growing international condemnation of the regime’s human rights abuses. Gulf Petroleum Myanmar (GPM), a subsidiary of Thailand’s Northern Gulf Petroleum, inked a production-sharing contract with the junta-run Myanmar Oil and Natural Gas Enterprise (MOGE) in Naypyitaw last Thursday. The project, dubbed Min Ye Thu, is located in the Mottama Gulf and is set to begin production by 2028. The announcement comes as the junta faces severe budget shortfalls amid an escalating civil war. MOGE remains the regime’s largest source of foreign income and has been sanctioned by both the EU and the United States for funding military operations and atrocities against civilians. GPM operates in partnership with Myanmar’s SMART Group—long associated with the military elite—and already runs the Yetagun project, having taken over in 2022 following Petronas’ withdrawal. Energy Minister Ko Ko Lwin praised the deal, citing dwindling yields from existing gas fields and expiring contracts. “The new project will help fund further exploration and increase our foreign currency reserves,” he said. But rights watchdogs warn that such revenue will likely fund the junta’s military campaign, including a reported spike in indiscriminate airstrikes on resistance-held areas. International companies including Chevron, TotalEnergies, and Woodside exited Myanmar after the 2021 coup, citing concerns over the junta’s use of oil and gas profits to finance repression. Justice For Myanmar highlighted the opaque nature of Northern Gulf Petroleum’s operations, pointing to a network of shell companies based in tax havens such as Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands. With this latest move, critics argue, Myanmar’s military is once again leveraging its natural resources to sustain a brutal grip on power—while foreign firms risk complicity by propping up its economic lifelines. -2025-06-02 -

It's often the customers using the points cards rather than paying by phone that take longer. Apart from the odd shop whose QR code takes forever to scan, paying by QR is very simple. I never carry cash anymore but that's because I'm always losing my wallet so I don't carry one. It doesn't suit everyone but it works for me. Cardless withdrawals also appeal. The only place where I need cash to pay is 7-11 and passing them by because of this actually saves me a bit of cash each day.
