Hacking internet-connected civilian security cameras for recon has become a standard operating procedure of modern warfare. First for Russia and Ukraine, now for Israel and Iran.
Your insecure internet-of-things surveillance system is now their targeting system.

Panel 1: Shen is keeled over a chess board in his chair at the park, sweating and gritting his teeth. He thinks "NO! I'M GONNA LOSE!! I'M... FALLING INTO DESPAIR..." Panel 2: It shows the chess board, with Shen's clenched fist on it. Shen is playing the white pieces, and his king is on H1 somehow behind 2 rows of 4 pawns. The black king is on B7 and the black queen on D8 threatens checkmate. Panel 3: A bishop comes in from off the board and takes out the black queen. Panel 4: Overly realistic depicting of Shen dramatically beginning to look over his shoulder, into the light. Panel 5: There's a person diagonal from him behind him with a chess board with just the white pieces set up. He has a confident smile. Sunbeams come down behind him and the wind blows the grass gently. Panel 6: Closeup of that person giving a thumbs up as the beginning of the song "Rap is a Man's Soul!" from Gurren Lagann begins to come on, with the lyrics "do the impossible, see the invisible..." The sun is producing a glare reflection off of his thumb somehow. He had moved his D2 pawn forward to D3 to line up the bishop.

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.
We are witnessing an intentional mass de-skilling and illiteracy event take place before our very eyes across all mediums of expression and thought.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.
The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.
This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel
If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kids—or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kids—they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, “there would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.
Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.
