arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026... A ship sunk 80 miles off Bulgaria, carrying wheat. And a cargo ship bound for Romania. This is like WWII wolfpacks if the USA was like "actually the wolves have a right to eat and probably the Allied powers provoked them"

Drones sink ships near NATO countries in “unacceptable” attacks, EU says

So Terminator 2 is one of my all-time favorite movies. But I rewatched Terminator 1... surprisingly, it held up better than I remembered! Rewatch it if you like that sorta thing. Watch the desolate AI-decimated future of Los Angeles in 2029, LOL, it really does hit different.

Watching Terminator 1 when the scrappy rebels race off in a technical in the AI apocalypse set in 2029, my better half says "wait why isn't that a Toyota pickup." I'm like "babe the movie would be too short, war would already be won."

I don't think that the priority should be trying to reverse the spread of AI because I just don't think that is going to happen. By arguing for the extreme, we're wasting precious time when we could be trying to legislate protections for impacted professions *right now*.

Scene from Aliens where Ripley says to Jonesy, after deciding that she will assist the Marines investigating the lack of comms from the colony on LV426, split into three panels:

P1: "And you, you little shithead..."
P2: "You're staying here."
P3: Jonesy stares back at her, unbothered

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

Germany invaded Poland after striking a secret alliance (soon broken) with the USSR. The idea that Poland was invaded to restore pre-Versailles borders is risible. Also, it's literally not what happened, Germany didn't occupy 10% of Poland at any point, they started with half and eventually all.
