Between May 16 and 17 of this year, Ukraine launched approximately 1,500 long-range drones into Russia, demonstrating a growing capability to strike sensitive targets. This evolution of drone usage from tactical battlefield weapon to strategic strike capability has important implications for the course of the Ukraine war and for future military conflicts. Long-range drone warfare is transforming escalation from a sequence of discrete and legible steps into a process of continuous adjustment.

In 2009, police were called to the Louisville, Kentucky, residence of a couple, Joseph Banis and Jeffrey Mundt, over a domestic dispute that ended with the discovery of a body in their basement.

MOJAVE NATIONAL PRESERVE — In the heart of the Mojave National Preserve, a scientist hunted for a baby Joshua tree that would never make it to adulthood.She parted some creosote branches to reveal a shriveled shrub, just ankle-high. This doomed seedling was part of a National Park Service planting effort to replace dozens of Joshua trees cut down by a Southern California Edison contractor tasked with protecting the company’s power lines. But of the 193 babies planted here roughly five years ago, only 27, or 14%, are still alive, according to the Park Service. If researchers don’t figure out why so few…
