I recently started watching the live action One Piece and it is SO delightful. I love when live action goes super stylized like this. It’s just constantly interesting to look at. I’ve never had any interest in One Piece before but this is fun.

Great. A week ago a drone blew up an apartment building in Galați, now another drone was found and then blew up in the port of Constanța. Now there’s apparently a bunch of other underwater drones in the area.

People were saying the Russians were testing boundaries when their drones kept AcCiDeNtAlLy crossing over the border and taking casual strolls through Romanian air space, now they’re checking how close they can come to killing people.

Authorities are saying the drones in Constanța are ‘of the type used in the war in Ukraine’ but like. Come on bro. We know whose drones that would be. It’s not the Ukrainians who have been gleefully pelting us with drone shrapnel since the war began.

Anyway, a reporter caught the moment the drone exploded:

discoursedrome:

The AI encyclical doesn’t yet have a Latin translation, because even though the Latin version is “official”, it takes six to twelve months longer to prepare than all the others, an issue exacerbated by the use of terms that don’t already have established neolatin translations. Since the timing is important and they don’t want to rush the Latinists, they seem to have decided a few years back to move the Latin versions “off the critical path”, even though this adds a layer of absurdity to the whole business.

Since the encyclicals are still issued simultaneously in like ten other languages, this leaves it uncertain which version should be considered official – it’s likely that it was first written in Italian or perhaps English, then translated, but when the Latin version finally comes out like a year from now, it will retroactively be considered the official copy, and all the others will be considered vernacular translations of it. Which is already a funny story about where pragmatism meets tradition, but in reading about this I found some commentary from someone formerly of the Vatican’s Latin office, who mentioned something even better: that one benefit of this process was that the Vatican got to see the public discourse about the document while translating it, which gave them a chance to tailor it to any controversies or confusion that might arise, so that, for instance, if there were competing readings of a passage based on subtle differences between translations, they could pick which one to favour after the fact. This means that this is sort of like Steam Early Access for papal encyclicals.

dragon-in-a-fez:

every Porsche vehicle in Russia stopped working, for reasons that are unclear but apparently related to their anti-theft satellite connection, and I need everyone to understand that this is bad.
it’s bad if this was intentional and a company can just decide to brick your car remotely whenever they like. it’s bad if this was accidental and your car needs a constant connection to a satellite or it stops functioning.
it’s bad even though it’s Porsche because if they can do it to rich people with luxury cars they can do it to anyone. it’s bad even though it’s Russia because a) not every Russian is responsible for the acts of the Russian government and b) if they can do it in Russia they can do it anywhere.
this is not a “lol Russia get pwned” moment, this is another example of corporations ending the concept of ownership.

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

One reason I say the Republic of Moldova would need to want reunification more is that they have had one albatross around their neck since the USSR fell, and that would be Transnistria.

However, Russia has fumbled their handling of Transnistria SO FUCKING BAD that it’s actually helping Moldova sort out the place. Which is good, because nobody wants Transnistria. They offered it to Ukraine, and Ukraine built barricades at their border with Transnistria. Not even Russia wants Transnistria, and they gave that place free gas for years. Moldova has Transnistria by technicality, but it’s not doing them any favors. And nobody in Romania would touch that place with a ten foot pole. Pretty sure only Transnistrians want Transnistria, but they literally do not have what it takes to be self-sufficient.
