International Criminal Court President Tomoko Akane of Japan warned Friday against "the demise of international rule of law" after the United States targeted her with sanctions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/22/japan/politics/icc-international-rule-of-law/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #icc #tomokoakane #us #donaldtrump #usjapanrelations

"The Pentagon on Friday fired the editor-in-chief of Stars and Stripes and a top reporter for insubordination after they spoke publicly against any interference by the Defense Department in the military news outlet that has a long history of editorial independence.

"The newspaper’s publisher, who announced his impending retirement days ago, was also dismissed.

"Erik Slavin, editor-in-chief of the military newspaper that is partly funded by the Pentagon, told The Associated Press he was dismissed for insubordination after an interview he gave that objected to potential censorship by the U.S. military."

@neuralreckoning hadn't thought of this, I just take the spiders out when I see them..

me: "I'm prepared to answer your riddles three!"
sphinx: "oh, you knew about the riddles three?"
me: "yes , you're a sphinx, it's a rather well-known thing that I gotta answer three questions"
sphinx: "oh wait did I just waste the first question?"
me: "hmm, that depends on updog"
sphinx: "what's updog?"

As nations race to restore ecosystems and curb #climate change, research has shown that letting #nature do the work is a cost-effective, viable solution.

Scientists found that natural #forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional tree-planting programs.

Forests are Earth's #life-support systems, and tropical forests are the most biodiverse among all forest types, covering 18% of the land and home to more than half of all land vertebrate #species.

They are also a giant carbon sink, so when deforestation happens, we not only stop the forest from taking up carbon, but we also flip it and turn it into a carbon source.

The early usage of Dual_EC_DRBG by RSA Security (for which NSA was later reported to have secretly paid $10 million)

ten million is way too low for something like that. ridiculous

Similar spellings, utterly different meanings.

Hey Canada, ya cold-tolerant fucks! Yeah! You!

Elbows up! Fuck us Americans. Half of this dickbag country voted for the orange shitweasel. Don’t negotiate with him (us?). He’s a lying sack of moose bales, and he won’t keep his word even if you could get to an agreement. Make Americans feel the pain. Elections here are coming up. Make Republicans unpopular.

Anyhoo, thanks for the maple syrup. The Vermont and New Hampshire stuff is unobtainable here for a good while now.

Fascinating study. What this historical evidence shows is that, during a critical period of development, even relatively small differences in sugar exposure over a short period may leave effects that are still observable half a century later.

(Disclaimer: I was one of those babies born under sugar rationing).

ok now i'm finding https://web.archive.org/web/20260331174508/https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/08/04/is-extended-random-malicious/ and i can easily see that the purpose of DUAL_EC_DRBG was a kind of kabuki theatre to bolster the trustworthiness of the IETF and TLS protocols

A Chinese mother and son spent 5 years on their passion project: an animation about a cow having a dream about walking upright.

They did it in SketchUp. It’s so amateur and primitive that people started buying tickets to see how ‘bad’ it is. Honestly, from all the videos I’ve seen of people in the cinema laughing as they’re in the cinema.. a work of art really.

I’d rather watch this than a crisp but soulless genAI movie
