Hungarian authorities kidnapped employees of Oschadbank along with cash-in-transit vehicles and valuables.

Shame!

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

This is huge news. Epic essentially got what it wanted.

Alternative payments, Alternative App Stores, Lower Commission Fees.

Android is more open than it ever has been.

Maybe just maybe the Ukrainian policy of reducing the number of their troops on the front line was the right one and the Russian one of slaughtering their own population the wrong one.
Thankfully the Ukrainians did not listen to the terrible western analytic community on this.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing β€˜reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

theres restaurants over here that actually fried more onions than they had to because the smell would attract people passing by.

so garlic = love, onions = commerce?
