Hidden in a damp tomb for over 2,000 years, the Sword of Goujian was discovered in 1965 near Jiangling, China. Despite its age, the blade showed no signs of rust and was still razor-sharp. Believed to have belonged to King Goujian of Yue, the sword’s flawless craftsmanship and intricate inscriptions continue to baffle experts, preserving its legacy as one of history’s most mysterious weapons.
Literary betrayal? Whitewashing? Too gratuitous? Soft porn for ticket sales? The trailer for Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 classic has received quite a bit of backlash. Here's why.

Anthropic is barring Chinese-run companies and organisations from using its artificial intelligence services, the US tech giant said, as it toughened restrictions on “authoritarian regions”.
The startup, heavily backed by Amazon, is known for its Claude chatbot and positions itself as focused on AI safety and responsible development.
Companies based in China, as well as in countries including Russia, North Korea and Iran, are already unable to access Anthropic’s commercial services over legal and security concerns.
ChatGPT and other products from US competitor OpenAI are also unavailable within China — spurring the growth of homegrown AI models from Chinese companies such as Alibaba and Baidu.
Anthropic said in a statement dated Friday that it was going a step further in an update to its terms of service.
Despite current restrictions, some groups “continue accessing our services in various ways, such as through subsidiaries incorporated in other countries,” the US firm said.
So “this update prohibits companies or organisations whose ownership structures subject them to control from jurisdictions where our products are not permitted, like China, regardless of where they operate.”
Anthropic — valued at $183 billion — said that the change would affect entities more than 50 per cent owned, directly or indirectly, by companies in unsupported regions.
“This is the first time a major US AI company has imposed a formal, public prohibition of this kind,” said Nicholas Cook, a lawyer focused on the AI industry with 15 years of experience at international law firms in China.
“The immediate commercial effect may be modest, since US AI providers already face barriers to operating in this market and relevant groups have been self-selecting for their own locally developed AI tech,” he told AFP.
But “taking a stance like this will inevitably lead to questions as to whether others will or should take a similar approach”. An Anthropic executive told the Financial Times that the move would have an impact on revenues in the “low hundreds of millions of dollars”.
The San Francisco-headquartered company was founded in 2021 by former executives from OpenAI.
It announced this week it had raised $13bn in its latest funding round, saying it now has more than 300,000 business customers. And the number of accounts on pace to generate more than $100,000 annually is nearly seven times larger than a year ago, Anthropic said on Tuesday.
Some users in China do access US generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT or Claude by using VPN services.
Assumptions that the US was far ahead of China in the fast-moving AI sector were upended this year when Chinese start-up DeepSeek unveiled a chatbot that matched top American systems for an apparent fraction of the cost.

Great, a robotic surveillance device in my home slowly making me more dependent on Big Tech by doing basic tasks I should be able to do for myself if I wish to remain sharp into old age. What's next, a mini forklift for me to take to the gym to raise the weights for me? A machine to read and interpret all the books so I don't have to? Oh wait, we already have that with "AI".
Nah, I'd sooner throw all my tech into a river. We already have amazing brains and bodies of our own.
@ApostateEnglishman ...robots have many uses, we should not combine it with distaste for big tech, in industry, manufacturing, medicine/healthcare there are many very useful applications that add a lot of value.
I appreciate the response and mean no disrespect to you when I say the benefits mainly accrue upwards, not downwards to ordinary folks with meagre funds. Musk's "self-driving" cars already function as unregulated surveillance for a reckless billionaire who has way too much power, and is a clear and present danger to democracy. A robot in my home with advanced sensory capacity? In my living room? Bedroom?
I'd dismantle it into individual component parts myself. Not wanted or needed.

L’occupazione della città di Gaza si allarga, mentre gli Stati Uniti si schiacciano su posizioni di sionismo sempre piú estremista thesubmarine.it/2025/09/05/le-…
Le IDF annunciano di aver conquistato il 40% della città di Gaza
L’esercito israeliano ha annunciato che ha preso il controllo del 40% dei territori della città di Gaza, dopo giorni di campagna intensificata, tra bombardamenti, attacchi drone e operazioni di terra. La violenza sulla città è senza sosta: nel corso della giornata di giovedì a Gaza città sono state uccise più di 30 persone — parte delle 64 uccise in tutta la Striscia — e solo nelle ultime ore, in piena notte, le IDF hanno ucciso altre 18 persone, colpendo case e tende per sfollati. Tra gli uccisi ci sono anche 7 bambini. Annunciando il risultato dei primi giorni di campagna, il portavoce delle IDF Ephraim Defrin ha dichiarato che l’offensiva “continuerà a espandersi e a intensificarsi nei prossimi giorni,” con l’obiettivo di “aumentare la pressione” su Hamas. (the New Arab / WAFA / JNS)
La conquista di Gaza procede nonostante l’intensificarsi delle condanne internazionali contro Israele — con politica e militari di Tel Aviv forti della mancanza di conseguenze alle dichiarazioni dei leader occidentali. Giovedì la vicepresidente della Commissione europea Teresa Ribera ha dichiarato, parlando all’apertura dell’anno accademico a Sciences Po, a Parigi, che quello in corso a Gaza è un genocidio: “Il genocidio a Gaza mette in luce l'incapacità dell'Europa di agire e parlare con una sola voce, nonostante la diffusione delle proteste nelle città europee e l'appello di 14 membri del Consiglio di sicurezza dell'ONU per un cessate il fuoco immediato.” Ribera ha dato voce alla frustrazione di molti governi comunitari, ma il dato di fatto è che l’Europa su Gaza resta ferma, grazie all’asse di Germania e Ungheria, che si rifiutano categoricamente di sospendere il trattato commerciale tra il blocco e Israele. Prima di questo intervento la Commissione europea aveva accuratamente evitato di usare il termine “genocidio” per descrivere l’aggressione di Gaza. (YouTube / POLITICO)

Watch: Brand-New Superyacht Sinks Minutes After Launch
Luxury motor yacht builder Medyılmaz Shipyard launched a 24-meter (or about 79-foot) superyacht named Dolce Vento, which capsized and sank just minutes into its maiden voyage earlier this week.
On Tuesday, Dolce Vento was launched from the Ereğli district of Zonguldak, Turkey, according to superyachttimes.com/yacht-news… . Within about 15 minutes, the vessel developed a “stabilization issue,” began taking on water, and ultimately capsized, the yachting news website wrote in a report.

SuperYacht Times provided more color on the vessel:
Dolce Vento was built at Medyılmaz Shipyard with construction beginning in 2024. The 160 GT motor yacht features a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and was known as NB65 while in-build.

On 3 September 2025 Putin claimed Russia withdrew its forces from Kyiv in 2022 "because Europeans insisted". In reality, Russia suffered catastrophic losses and entirely failed its plan to capture Kyiv, Kharkiv and other key cities during its 2022 campaign, which was the sole reason of its withdrawal.
As I mentioned recently, I'm hoping and praying that I can land this promotion to Team Lead.
I want this job.
I NEED this job.
I also know that to land this job, I've got to be looking and feeling my best. I need to throw myself into my work as hard as I can during the next couple of weeks.
It's going to be difficult for me to do so when I'm stressed to the max about housing, food, and the spare tire that I still have not had a fucking chance to get replaced yet.
I am literally months overdue for a haircut and beard trim.
I've been wearing the same pair of pants for two weeks now because of the housing chaos and most of my clothes accidentally ending up in a storage unit that is the other point in a triangle between our current hotel location and my work location that straddles the entire valley and I haven't been able to return to in several days.
Of those clothes, a fair portion are starting to wear out. I also need to invest in undershirts so I'm not prematurely wearing out my work shirts.
Therefore, my immediate priorities are as follows:
1. Finally get that damned tire replaced.
2. Haircut and trim so I don't look like Albert Einstein with less charisma
3. Buy some undershirts and maybe a couple of outer shirts to replace ones that I've ruined with sweat stains
Regarding housing, as many of you know my partner and I recently fell in love with an apartment complex that we really, REALLY want to move to.
I'm so tired of dumping $500+ per week into hotel rooms (which is more than my current gross weekly income) indefinitely.
I'm so tired of not having immediate access to 90% of our belongings because they're scattered between a pigsty of a car, and a disaster of a storage unit.
But we need roughly $1100 and a co-signer to secure an apartment there regardless of floor plan because we don't have the income or credit ratings.
I know how frustrating it is to piss all your money away on hotel rent when monthly rent would be at most 1/3 that. It bankrupted me. I had a little nest egg, but am on SSI and don't have enough income to be allowed to pay monthly rent. Usually. Minnesota made a program specifically to help people like me, and I ended up in a converted motel paying sliding scale rent I can actually afford.
I do know your pain, though. And I had to spend a couple months in a homeless shelter on the way here. That was not fun.
It really feels like your best bet is to figure out a truce with family or friends and stay with someone long enough to save up for an apartment or mortgage. Burning money on hotels is hurting you long-term. Side benefit: you work through the difficult but ultimately wildly beneficial process of rebuilding bridges with family.
What's making things hard for you may well be living away from community.

Der Hochsommer weicht langsam, aber spürbar. Solange die Nächte noch zweistellig sind, darf man nicht jammern, sagt eine alte Seglerinnenweisheit. Das kommt noch früh genug.
Aber die Selbstverständlichkeit ist gegangen. Die Selbstverständlichkeit mit der ich in Birkenstock und kurze Hosen geschlüpft bin die letzten Wochen. Ich habe letzte Woche sogar kurz eine Übergangsjacke angezogen. Mich dann aber gewehrt und sie wieder auf den Haken gehängt, an dem sich Schuster eine Seilbahn gebaut haben über das vor Kraft strotzende Sommerhalbjahr.
Ich weigere mich trotzdem, Anfang September schon von Herbst zu sprechen, wie so viele von euch. Hej, die Meteorologen sind faul, das hat nix mit Herbst zu tun, was sie so nennen — genausowenig wie zum Frühlingsanfang (leider).
Herbst, das ist für mich Nieselregen aus West, Schnöf und klamme sieben Grad.
Ich hab noch nie verstanden, wie man sich Anfang September sich schon Schals anziehen kann. Und Mützen in Laubfarben.
Der Hafenmeister ist gedanklich schon seit Ende Juni im November, dann ist für ihn die Saison vorbei. Ein Ziel, das er mit keinem anderen teilt.
Wir anderen ignorieren das Ende der warmen Saison und messen nun in Restwochenenden, in denen es nochmal „schön“ werden könnte, also noch einmal so, wie es bis jetzt selbstverständlich war — selbst im nordischen Sommer.
Dabei ist der stetige Verlust der Kraft nicht zu ignorieren. Eben noch bullenstark, merken wir, wie sich kühle Feuchte schon spätnachmittags über das Deck legt.
Es will mir sagen, dass ich meine Kämpfe wählen soll, haushalten, meinen Pfad wählen. Dem Fluss der Dinge folgen — oder vielleicht Dieter? — ohne Widerstand. Denn die Zeit des robusten Gegenhaltens gegen alles scheint vorbei zu gehen.
Suí steht für das Prinzip des Folgens – sei es einem Pfad, einem Mentor oder dem natürlichen Fluss des Lebens. Es zeigt die Kraft, die in der Anpassungsfähigkeit liegt.
Heitere Gelassenheit nennt Dieter das. Ich bin dann mal kurz weg: üben.
