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.

Guns N' Roses, while playing a show last night in Bogotá, Colombia, borrowed this flag sign out of the crowd. Axl held it up for everyone then later ran around stage wearing it around his neck while singing. Said the whole band would sign it then make sure the fan got it back.

I don’t really know where to start with this, except to say that higher education should not be solely intended to produce better employees, but more competent thinkers and problem solvers.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Singapore is fundamentally too socialist and fabian for those types.

Maia @maiamindel.bsky.social · 1d

British neoliberalism of the 70s and 80s was obsessed with Singapore, a technocratic autocracy of free trade and deregulation. Of course that would evolve to Dubai, an even more autocratic technocracy with even freer trade and no safety net beyond indentured migrant servants for the very rich

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 1d

it's weird to me how much Gulf states seem to dominate the imagination of the UK right at the moment. I assume it's largely about who's giving them money, but I also think "Dubai expat" is a common social type in their circles.

Another part of mammal dispersal may be ethanol. It’s repellent at high concentration but attractive at low concentration. Mammals may zero in on the aroma for efficient foraging. Genipa americana (📷: Cody Hinchliff CCBYNCSA2) ripe fruits have ca. 0.5% ethanol. #dispersal #Rubiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
