This may be over-egging thepudding, but that doesn't mean Russia won't do it. The Kremlin may be counting on European political and military disarray, and that, sadly, is very real.

Denmark's Defense Intelligence Service assessed that Russia may have the capabilities to launch a full-scale war against NATO in the next 5 years, which is consistent w/ ISW's assessments about Russian efforts to restructure and prepare its military and society for a future conflict w/ NATO. (1/3)

I Built This City by ThePudding

Ellen is an adventurer. When she dies two duplicates respawn. Unfortunately she dies a lot.

Now she's working out how to keep a growing number of Ellens safe in an old abandoned village while dealing with a newly-spawned dungeon.

An extremely old piece…. 2022 road trip. With @ThePudding @Whatsupperpupper and @Justarealgooddogmom did Hunter even show any of you this when he finished it? Or was it lost to the void?

Why are some humans surprisingly good at solving complex path-planning problems like mowing a lawn? 🌿

Some light reading for a bit of a distraction, if you will: Vivian Li from @thepudding looked at how "cultures can hear the same physical sounds yet translate them into language so differently".

Bravo, great story!
It's very cool to see that new generations of judges bring in a new generation of "greatest albums".

I love how you managed to create a feeling of consistency between the layout shifts via transitioning the matching elements.

As Minji and Eunice grew up, so did K-pop. From the suburbs of Michigan, to LA’s Koreatown, to pochas in NYC. This is the soundtrack (and dataset) to their lives. #kpop #dataviz #thepudding
