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.

I wrote about the Bari Weiss take over of CBS News as part of a broader trend away from the pretense of liberal institutionalism into a genuinely post-reality tabloidism, marked by AI slop, unsophisticated Trumpian-Likudite propaganda and consolidation of traditional and social media.

A bearded man says "I related so much to the TV Glow film" to Alex. He breaks down into her sympathetic arms and confesses "a similar thing happened to me as an autistic teen."

2004: 3 years after 9/11. A younger version of the bearded man gets a Peter Griffin drawn on the back of his neck.

among other things, a real bummer that podcasts have largely been homogenized into a worse version of daytime TV, just longform video featuring people who know nothing, talking about nothing, for way too long, but also they're ugly and the staging is boring

Protect the land that inspired this page.

A page from Kate Beaton’s “Ducks”. Five panels, in panel 1 we see Kate’s feet on the beach at the edge of the water. In panel 2 we see a wave wash over her feet. In Panel 3 we see a zoomed out image of the shoreline, beautiful and calm, wild and undeveloped, Kate is still standing at the shore, dwarfed by the landscape. In panel 4 we see Kate looking up and shielding her eyes against the sun with her arm. In panel 5 we see her perspective, a seagull crossing the disc of the sun.

I’ll allow it. I think Missy deserves to be in this slot because she makes in innovative, feel good, futuristic music. Though I think she makes better songs, this struck a mainstream cord so I get why it was chosen.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.
