Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.

In 1952, an abandoned shrine was found in the Wakayama prefecture of Japan. This temple, known as Rabu Shrine (羅父神宮), had signs of occupation as late as the 1920s. These documents, including postcards and manuscripts by the priest Sōkū (桑空), were recovered at the site:

An old faded postcard featuring a green-tinted black and white photograph. Near the entrance to a Shintoist shrine, a line of congregants kneel before an enormous insect larva, tall as at least two men. The larva twists into a regal pose, head clad with four imposing horns. It is covered in silken regalia, and holds a variety of amulets in its six limbs.
The postcard has a purple stamp atop it, proof of visit to Rabu Shrine as part of a pilgrimage. Below, stamped blue text reads:
ル祀ミ育神蟲テニ宮神父羅
(At Rabu Shrine, the insect God is raised and worshipped.)

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Some people were never even told their grant was terminated; it simply disappeared from NIH's list of funded grants without notification, much less explication. 🧪 www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

The Lasting Impact of Terminated Grants

Even with some grants restored, researchers say the deeper damage is harder to undo — and a proposed federal rule could make nonscientific control of science permanent.

A little Mega fanart in honor of The Protomen Act III! Quite happy to see that my personal vision of the boy in blue was on the money thanks to the new art, as well.

Waist-up pencil sketch of The Protomen's version of Mega Man. A puppet-like android with a smooth face that has panel lines on each cheek & going down from each mouth corner, to the chin. His expression is suspicious, stern & vigilant. His helmet, shaped like Mega Man's traditional helmet ( complete with the "i-shaped" mohawk detail) mixed with a vintage round open-face motorbike helmet, is covered in scratches, dings & dents, with the plexiglass ear-pod on the right side (viewer's left) showing a large crack & missing chunk. A tinted football-style visor cuts juts from under the helmet's brim, shading his eyes but allowing his glowing pupil to show through. He wears a thick racing jacket with the lapels turned out, showing a diamond-quilted interior. The elbow-length zipper on his right arm (viewer's left) unzipped & the sleeve rolled all the way up to expose his Mega-Buster, interpreted as a 90's comic book style tactical weapon. He wears a T-shirt with a slight V-neck that has a large M on the chest.

Theres also a scrappier sketch of his face with an angry expression to the left, & a comic book panel thumbnail of him pointing at Protoman, with a cut-in of Protoman's head on the right, underneath.

AI will be trained on federal datasets that are the accumulation of decades of world-class research. The admin has also decimated that research infrastructure.

This order launches the “Genesis Mission” as a dedicated, coordinated national effort to unleash a new age of AI‑accelerated innovation and discovery that can solve the most challenging problems of this century. The Genesis Mission will build an integrated AI platform to harness Federal scientific datasets — the world’s largest collection of such datasets, developed over decades of Federal investments — to train scientific foundation models and create AI agents to test new hypotheses, automate research workflows, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs.

#telekitneticart #indigenousart If you weren't aware already, this is the unfortunate hand I've been dealt this holiday season: having to job hunt in the winter while a potential recession is on the horizon. ko-fi.com/telekitnetic... RBs on this post are really appreciated <3

A drawing of TeleKitnetic's fursona making the shinji chair meme post. The top text reads "I got laid off from my day job", the bottom text simply reads "Bottom text".

"After my final shift for the week last Thursday, my boss pulled me aside and told me I'd been let go (termination without cause) with severance in lieu of a two week notice. That day job paid for all of my rent, plus most of my expenses. The severance I got will cover most of my rent + expenses for one month, but that's it. And it's a very difficult time to be looking for a job right now (my last big job hunt took almost three months for a minimum wage position). My family has offered to lend me a hand for expenses if I need it, and I'm going to be looking into options like EI and art grants to keep me afloat, but other then that, my monthly income is now almost entirely dependent on my artwork. And it's obviously a very difficult time to be trying to make a living as an independent artist right now."

I know it's a pretty rough time (understatement) for a lot of folks right now, but if you're able to give some money to help me out while I'm trying to get through this rut, it'd be greatly appreciated.

1. I have a monthly ko-fi membership (Tip Jar) where you can get occasional private WIP updates for as low as 4$ CAD (about 3$ USD) per month! This is great if you don't have the change for a commission or shop items/shipping but want to pitch in a little bit to me!
2. I have an online shop on the same ko-fi! It has stickers, prints, pins, and keychains of my formline art. US shipping is available and prepaid duties (tariffs, derogatory) are factored into the applicable product shipping cost. Great if you're looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season!
3. I take custom commissions for formline art from time to time! The reason I list this last is because comms take the most physical and mental strain of all these options, and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out when I'm already struggling. If you can't support me financially, that is fine! Reblogging/sharing my posts, shop listings, and art helps more then you think!

This may be the first photograph of the mysterious Okka. In Japan it is known as a yōkai, with only a few old scrolls alluding to it. The reason for its elusiveness is the deadly poison it sprays around it. Those who have been close enough to see it, such as this photographer, have quickly perished.

A photograph of a red bulbous animal on the muddy ground. Most prominently, an yellow eye-like protrusion grows on its back. On the other side of its body, it has a small frog-like face. Several large pores open in its body, releasing a black fog that dissipates into the surrounding air.

Hyakki Yagyo Emaki, author unkown, ca. 15th Century. A scroll depicting a series of yōkai. Among them, a red bulbous creature stands out. It has a single eye and two legs. Another yōkai is hitting it with a hammer.
