Technology, Energy and Warfare in Evolving Geopolitics by Sandeep Tripathi & Kirill Sablin, 2025

This book puts forward a new conceptual framework for emerging geopolitics through the lens of technology, energy, and warfare. Drawing on rich case studies from across the globe, it illuminates how power dynamics are being fundamentally reshaped across nations, governments, international organizations, and individuals.

Trying to find a website by the artist that once made the political ideology catgirls comics.

Now I'm looking in my many, many bookmarks, I think this personal website is themed around the author being a game dev, artist and draws scifi type artwork as well too.

The background is purple, dark pink, and light blue with stars on the top and a road on the bottom, a planet as it's favicon.

I seriously wished I wrote down this person's website, and I did see the person's art in their pfp and I think it's the same artist that drew the discontinued Political ideology cat girls comic.

Please let me know of the website's name, I don't know if I have it in my bookmarks anymore.

Not sure if anyone else knows which website I'm speaking of.

If I successfully find this website I'm describing above, I'll link it here:

My ftiend and I went to see it when the university showed it, in the 70's. She bought a tape, and surprised me onre day when she was driving from her place to mine, I was lying across the front seat, which was sort of ok then, looking up at the trees.... good memory


For my #HamRadio tunable elevated radial project, I want to isolate them from the earth and the mast, and I'm not finding an isolating mount that goes into a normal ½" "light stand". So I've come up with this design to build. (Yay, I can't just buy it, so I have an excuse to spend some shop time!)

From 1" 6061 aluminum stock and 1" POM:

  • An aluminum stem/spigot that fits the tripod, with a 1" section above. In that section, an M14x1.5 threaded socket.
  • A POM threaded bushing; M14x1.5 on the outside, M10x1.5 on the inside, with a 2mm flange on top
  • An aluminum piece on top with M10x1.5 screw threads on both end, and six 4mm holes drilled around it to accept 4mm banana/bullet plugs. The M10x1.5 is to match the JPC-12 feed base.

I intend to raise only two radials, but six holes give me a chance to change my mind later, and even with just two they make it easy to line up the holes well enough with where I want the radials to run. (An elevated radial is worth about 8 ground-coupled radials.)

My idea is to machine the POM threads a little over-size, so that the whole thing is hard to screw together and locks together kind of like a nylon locknut. The larger diameter of the aluminum pieces will be knurled to facilitate this. It's meant to be strong enough to hold as much as 30 feet / 10m of loaded vertical, including JPC-12 riser sections, JPC-12 loading coil, and up to 25' whip.

in reply to Michael K Johnson

Removed some obviously unnecessary metal from the design to make this lighter before I bother to make this.

It's so hard to sense scale, but this is 25mm OD. The flanges on the bottom are ½". The holes drilled into the side are 4mm to fit 4mm banana/bullet connectors. The yellow layer of insulation between the two metal parts is 2mm thick.

Looking forward to actually making this, so I can take a picture with a banana connector for scale. Maybe a banana too! 😉

¿Sabían que el icónico personaje de videojuegos Blanka podría inspirado en una figura mítica del folclore brasileño?

El personaje de Blanka en Street Fighter, un hombre-bestia verde de la selva amazónica con poderes eléctricos, es uno de los luchadores más reconocibles del juego. Su historia de origen oficial es que, tras un accidente aéreo, creció en la jungla y su apariencia mutó debido a su dieta y un rayo.

Sin embargo, en el folclore brasileño existe la leyenda del Curupira, el guardián mítico de los bosques y los animales. El Curupira es descrito tradicionalmente como una criatura pequeña, de piel verde, con pelo rojo o de fuego, cuya característica más distintiva es que tiene los pies invertidos, mirando hacia atrás, para engañar y desorientar a cazadores y leñadores que intentan seguir sus huellas. También es conocido por emitir silbidos y gritos agudos.

La similitud es más que evidente, ambos provienen de Brasil, tienen el pelo rojo, así como el color verde y viven en los bosques, claro que en el caso de Blanka, no es precisamente de estatura baja, sino que más bien camina encorvado.

Aunque Capcom, la compañía desarrolladora del juego, no ha confirmado oficialmente esta conexión, la similitud entre la procedencia amazónica de Blanka y la leyenda del Curupira es un punto recurrente de especulación y análisis en la cultura popular, sugiriendo un posible punto de inspiración subconsciente o no reconocido en el diseño del personaje brasileño.

Su piel está texturizada, lo que sugiere un estilo de arte digital o pixelado. El fondo es azul oscuro con algunas áreas más claras.

I don't need to hear opinions from bald people


"Hoosiers don't love Trump" isn't the correct takeaway from last night, as much as I want that to be true.

"The Indiana Senate is largely composed of conservative institutionalists" is a much more accurate read.

The ideological spread of our no's was diverse. They voted to protect an institution under threat.

That's a good thing! And there are good takeaways for Dems too in all this. But Indiana has not suddenly become a more purple state overnight, I'm afraid.

Image divisée en deux sections.

La section supérieure affiche une série de quatre portraits de personnes. Elles sont toutes vêtues de vestes sombres et de chemises claires. Les quatre personnes ont des expressions faciales similaires, sévères et concentrées. En dessous de ces portraits, le texte « 2015 - 2025 » est affiché en gras.

La section inférieure présente une poubelle métallique grise avec trois visages sortant du dessus du bord. Les trois visages ressemblent à ceux des personnes de la section supérieure. Le visage de gauche a l’air frustré, le visage du milieu a l’air grincheux, et le visage de droite a l’air en colère. Une bulle de pensée au-dessus de la poubelle dit : « Scooch over, Kenney. That’s Poilievre’s spot after January. »

A rectangular book cover is shown, with a solid red background. The cover appears to be made of a textured fabric. Centered at the top is the text "WELL, THAT DIDN'T WORK" in a large, sans-serif, white font. Below that is a small graphic of an open book in white, and below that, in a smaller font, is the text "An Autobiography". The overall aesthetic is minimalist and straightforward.

La Crimea è considerata dell’Ucraina e così le sue acque territoriali.

Anche senza entrare nella Nato l'Ucraina potrebbe far scattare l'articolo 5 della Nato.
