Lithuania's former president Valdas Adamkus turns 100 today, joining an exclusive club of world leaders to reach their centenary, including Jimmy Carter. His life is simply extraordinary:
> Born in 1926 in independent Lithuania
> Published a resistance paper while under Nazi occupation
> At 17, left the safety of exile in Germany and returned to Lithuania, joining volunteers resisting Soviets. Survived the Battle of Seda (vastly outgunned Lithuanian volunteers faced Soviet tanks).
> Escaped back to Germany by hiding beneath a tank on a military train
> Ran 100m in 10.8 seconds
> Helped organize the Olympic Games of the Enslaved Nations, winning two golds and two silvers himself
> Arrived in America as a refugee in 1949. Worked in a Chicago car factory and studied engineering
> Drafted into the US Army. Knowing Russian, had a translator posting
> Handed VP Nixon a petition with >38,000 signatures for Lithuania's independence
> Became a senior Environmental Protection Agency official, serving under SIX American presidents and helping clean up the Great Lakes
> Nicknamed "Mr. Lithuania" by Ronald Reagan
> Returned to Soviet-occupied Lithuania in 1972 as a US government official
> 54 years after fleeing Lithuania, was elected President of a newly independent homeland
> Served two terms while helping secure Lithuania's path into NATO
What a man. 🇱🇹 🇺🇸

Claude Code just shipped mods...
I made one that connects you to a multiplayer Doom server while Claude is busy.
Every other player in the match is a person waiting for their Claude to finish.

A quick reality check on the recurring “the Baltics are next – we’re doomed” narrative.
🔹 Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are not bystanders waiting to see what others do. Any Russian incursion would first face Baltic forces. “Limited incursion” scenarios often intentionally overlook this basic point.
🔹 We have spent years preparing - and learning from Ukraine - for exactly these threats. Little green men, border incidents, sabotage – none of this would come as a surprise.
🔹 Article 3 comes before Article 5. We have to be able to defend ourselves, and we are building that capacity. If we fight, we will not fight alone. I have no doubt about that.
🔹 Allied commitments are very real. Germany is deploying a full brigade to Lithuania. Canada leads NATO forces in Latvia, the UK in Estonia. Allied jets patrol Baltic airspace. And shoot Russian drones.
🔹 This does not mean everything is fine. There are capability gaps, and European governments have good reasons to warn about a higher risk of escalation.
But there is a big difference between taking the threat seriously and declaring the Baltics doomed.
Anonymous social-media accounts and emotion-driven headlines predicting inevitable defeat do not improve deterrence. They play into the aggressor’s hands.
