🛡️ Zelensky said he wants Ukraine to receive 100–120 Patriot missiles per month this winter.

According to him, to effectively intercept, for example, 140 ballistic missiles, NATO standards would require around 280 interceptor missiles.

But, as he admitted, Ukraine will never receive 280 interceptors per month — and even securing 100 missiles a month would be a major challenge.

Meanwhile, according to data from the Ukrainian General Staff, none of the Iskander ballistic missiles launched overnight were intercepted by Ukrainian forces.

🤖 Anthropic has blocked accounts that allegedly used Claude to create content for Russian state media, citing US and EU restrictions.

The company says Claude was used in workflows at Sputnik Moldova, RIA Novosti, Sputnik en Español, Sputnik Africa and RT, effectively acting as a junior editor.

Anthropic also accused Chinese AI competitors of trying to extract or distil Claude’s capabilities.

The same report claims the company blocked several attempts to use its models for research that could potentially assist bioweapons development.

In Russia, such sanctions and restrictions are viewed as illegal and absurd.

At this rate, apparently everything can be blamed on AI now.

🐊 Research shows that crocodiles play simply for fun, displaying three types of playful behaviour: locomotor play, object play and social play.

They may splash around in water, carry and push floating objects, chase one another, ride on each other’s backs, and repeat actions that serve no obvious practical purpose.

In this case, a crocodile was spotted climbing up a slope again and again just to slide back down like it was using a waterslide.

🍂 On 12 September 1830, Alexander Pushkin left for his father’s estate at Boldino to receive his share of the inheritance.

That day he wrote to Pyotr Pletnev:

“Autumn is approaching. It is my favourite season — my health usually improves, and the time for literary work begins… I am going to the countryside — God knows whether I shall have time to work there, or the peace of mind without which nothing can be created.”

While Pushkin was dealing with paperwork, a cholera epidemic broke out in Moscow, leaving him stranded at Boldino for three months.

This period became known as the “Boldino Autumn” — one of the greatest creative bursts of his life.

During those months he completed Eugene Onegin, wrote The Belkin Tales, The Little Tragedies, The Little House in Kolomna, and around 30 poems.
