This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

WhiteTip Operations, led by @velocitycatte.space, has won the second day of its defensive war to maintain control of Catgirl Cafe and Col 285 Sector PX-K c8-19.

Numerous WTO fleet carriers have deployed to the system for its defense, which is projected to last two more days.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

A map of the Milky Way shows a red path outlining Commander Picard's 3,200-day journey of exploration. The journey, which began at Mars High in Sol, has touched nearly every sector of the galaxy.

I say all of this as one of Newsom's biggest critics. I've written multiple articles on how horrible he has been in rhetoric and action towards transgender people.

This is not the five alarm fire I'm watching for with him.
