Ukrainian intelligence warns:Russia is preparing new massive strikes.

This is not about military objectives,but about breaking people.
They are trying to provoke fear, exhaustion, despair to force submission through cold.

The narrative of exceptional Ukrainian resilience is one of the most harmful tropes I’ve seen during this war.
Yes, we refuse to give up. Yes, we have picnics in -15°C. Yes, we keep living, drinking coffee, and even laughing occasionally, but all of this stems from a lack of choice.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

Once again I am struck by how one of the most powerful transformations associated with the tech boom and "social media" isn't really technical at all but rather a sort of pervasive learned helplessness among governments across the anglophone world if a computer is somehow involved...
Malaysia and Indonesia become the first countries to block Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, after authorities said it was being misused to generate sexually explicit and non-consensual images.

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.

When Trump purged the civil service, he did away with some of the employees who understood the government best: “What’s been lost isn’t just a sense of purpose,” Franklin Foer argues, “but a body of knowledge—a way of making the machinery of the state function.”
