Some people argue it's not genocide because if Israel wanted to kill all Palestinians they would have done that. But genocide doesn't have a "murder them all" requirement. This, at the very least, is cultural genocide.

Attached: 3 images Holy mother of god. Some satellite images from #Gaza have been unembargoed on google. #Rafah is gone. Just gone. Khan Younis is ruins. Everything, gone. #Palestine is being ethnically cleansed so billionaires can have a new playground. This is what #Israel has done. This is their crime, the blood of 22,637 children stains the hands of every member of the #IDF. This is #America's crime, this is everyone who has ever supported #Israel's crime. This is unforgivable. We are a terrible country, supporting one that's even worse. Until it's taken down again, sat images of Palestine here, I've started us in Rafah's main mosque. Or where it was. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bilal+Mosque/@31.305079,34.2398794,490m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x14fd938fd9cce82b:0xf8056862904cb47f!2sRafah!3b1!8m2!3d31.29678!4d34.243482!16zL20vMDJzaHJ6!3m5!1s0x14fd9407c5414093:0x974c7d2ce8e05140!8m2!3d31.3056418!4d34.2401459!16s%2Fg%2F11csb1qbb3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDkyNy4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

I had to make one mold and one thing lead to another. Moldwright is a free tool that turns an STL into a 3D-printable silicone mold: splits, walls, clamps, pour funnel and vents, plus pouring instructions. It runs in your browser, and your model never leaves your computer. moldwright.com

This is a tileable dragon scale pattern. I will make mold on a large sheet to make the neck skin. Yes, an LLM modelled this for me in about 10 minutes, there is no way I could've done that myself any time soon. Sorry, my whole project is tainted by "AI" in many ways.

And I'm working on this all day. I'm painting it on both halves, then I'll do a slush cast to try to join them together. Hopefully it works. It's really tricky because the horns need to be solid and then the test needs to be thin. I have no idea what I'm doing. That's the best part!

This silicone has a 75 cure time, but I don't know when it gets to the tacky stage for another coat. So before doing it for real, some tests.

I also still have to get the mechanical parts working. I had to redesign the topmost vertebra because the cable attachments were too weak and that meant taking a lot of stuff apart. Then I still have to get the sound and smoke working.

Three LED "candle flame" that will go into this larger lantern. Does a nice job of diffusing the light. Need to wait for the custom PCBs I ordered before I can finish it.

The semantic drift of “AI psychosis” from “break with reality exacerbated or caused by sycophantic chatbots” to “person with strong feelings about AI which are not the same as the strong feelings of AI held by the speaker” is bad

This week I finally came up with a design that works to prevent the spine from twisting in the z-axis. Printed with TPU, these blue pieces are flexible in the x and y axes but pretty stiff if they want to twist. Simple in hindsight, but it took me a while to get there.

The candy bowl will have The Ring of Power on the top. When kids reach in LEDs will light it up, making the writing visible around it. Here is a simulation of the animation. Going to use a ATTiny85 to drive this, the JavaScript code driving the simulation is exactly the same.

I've had a security camera on my driveway with a view of the street for a while. We are on a traffic calmed 30km/h zone and I always wanted to know how many drivers stay below the limit. So now I have a real-time dashboard.
Traffic speed dashboard for a 30 km/h street. 464 vehicles measured: median 26.5 km/h, 85th percentile 31.1, fastest 39.9. 103 passes (22.2%) were over the limit. A histogram shows most drivers clustered just under 30, with a shorter red tail above it. An hourly chart shows traffic peaking around 8am and mean speed hovering just below the limit all day. Northbound: 277 passes, 30.4 85th percentile. Southbound: 187 passes, 32.0.

It's all powered by a 18650 cell and uses a Waveshare ESP-S3-Zero, compact enough to fit inside the staff. The staff itself is this model I found in Makerworld

Gandalf The Grey's Staff - Free 3D Print Model - MakerWorld
Download this free 3D print file designed by Fast_Tony27. I designed Gandalf the Grey's staff for my Halloween costume this year. The staff has a compartment for a standard AA battery holder to allow LED lights to run up to the crystal at the top, as well as a slot for a simple 12mm push button switch to activate the lights. The cover for the battery holder is designed to be held in place with simple 5 mm magnets (2 stacked in each spot). The staff is hollow at its core to allow a ½ inch PVC pipe to run through the middle for stability. Printed in a basic wood color PLA. I have a video on YouTube that goes over both the 3D Modeling, as well as assembly after printing, which can be found here:

Ianiv 🇨🇦🇲🇽 @schweber.ca · 04/09/2026
The staff has a button to cycle through the effects and brightness levels. The "cast spell" button sends a command to the dragon via ESP-NOW to perform some action. Pressing both buttons at once sends an EMERGENCY STOP 🛑 command to the dragon. Just in case…

Putting together the Gandalf staff. Here you can see three light effect. The first two are nice glowing effects, the third one is meant to be a ramping up to cast a spell (in a loop in the video) This is "Gandalf the Grey" 1/3
