I hope everyone who thought the assassination, or that war in Iran for regime change was a good idea for any amount of time; really thinks about this, this was not a minor lapse of judgement

There is no regime change, and now the cascading effects of ever expanding war, biggest energy crisis in history, and what will be unfathomable ecological damage

And yes, this was the obvio outcome

Unlikely I know, but I can hope

"UN investigator Spoke Out About Gaza. Now She Can’t Use a Credit Card"

Allowing the US to do these things without any pushback will lead to them doing it more often

Its not even a risk of becoming politically targeted, bc its been politically targeted for a long, long time. The trend has been just to use it more, for ever more reasons

another 2d demo basically entirely a glsl shader

trying to get my head around cel shading

lots to learn still, but this is my first attempt

"I am forced to know things that keep me awake at night", Italian defence minister says

South Korean President Lee ​Jae Myung urged the country to accelerate a shift to renewable, saying that the energy issue [Iran war] is "so severe that ​even I can't sleep at night"

They have already started rationing energy here in Egypt, like many countries, especially in East Asia

Kinda mind boggling that the US has not taken any measures whatsoever

was using 2d library called pixel before on these little demos that are rarely above 750 lines of code; but it has an issue with glsl shaders on the hardware I use, I have working code for it, need to hunt down the bug and submit a pull request with the fix

so for now I switched to the 2d engine ebiten for my 2d demos

so this one is basically just a glsl shader for all of it, making it much smoother, and allows more interesting aesthetics

more ppl in my life are dying and it breaks my heart

"2 More UN Peacekeepers Are Killed in Southern Lebanon"

NYT giving UN peacekeepers the Palestinian treatment in headlines

Explosions killed them during an Israeli invasion, just dont ask whose bombs or who made them

How many more peacekeepers have to die for EU, UK, etc leadership to stop providing Israel weapons? Or sanction them?

With this amount of hypocrisy, might as well give Russia their 'bufferzone' in Ukraine, and trade with them again, least EU economy wouldn't collapse as fast

"JD Vance says aliens are ‘demons’ and details obsession with UFOs"

Totally normal country

Must feel weird if you are from a country betting literally everything on the US over China, instead of hedging

So many oil spills recently, this week there was enough that the big on near Mexico is barely getting coverage from news outlets because there are other big ones near the growing war zone

I know this may be controversial but I don't think we should be ruled by a death cult

"US has directed every US embassy/consulate across the world to launch coordinated campaigns against foreign propaganda & endorses Musk’s X as an “innovative” tool to help do it"

So open nazi, who stole his wealth thru carbon market manipulation, has been dumping money into elections everywhere including EU to promote hate, still doing absolutely nothing to stop xAI/X generating nude images of woman below their posted photos

But to all US allies this is the good kind of foreign interference
