"The six-month-old Palestinian girl, whose painfully emaciated body symbolised the deliberate starvation of Gaza when she appeared on the BBC this week, was only 2.5kg when she was born on 20 November last year."

#DarkStar
Primo lavoro di #Carpenter, un film totalmente folle.
Da apprezzare, anche solo per la fantasia, la pazzia e il coraggio.
📝Voto: 6 /10
"Dark star" di John Carpenter, 82 minuti, 1974.
- Nel XXII secolo l'equipaggio annoiato di un'astronave in missione intergalattica diventa preda di fobie claustrofobiche e di una mascotte aliena che stanno trasportando sul pianeta Terra. 1° film di Carpenter, girato con 60000 dollari ed effetti speciali poveri (curati dall'amico O'Bannon, qui anche interprete e cosceneggiatore), è una space-opera divertente e ingegnosa che esibisce già tutti gli attrezzi del regista. - da themoviedb.org

Keebin’ with Kristina: the One With the MingKwai Typewriter
Sometimes, a little goes a long way. I believe that’s the case with this tiny media control bar from [likeablob] that uses an ESP32-C3 Super Mini.
And because it uses this Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller, it can seamlessly integrate with Home Assistant via ESPHome.
What else is under the hood? Four low-profile Cherry MX Browns and a rotary encoder underneath that nicely-printed knob.
If you want to build one of these for yourself, all the files are available on GitHub including the customizable enclosure which [likeablob] designed with OpenSCAD.
Portable Endgame, If It Exists
Perhaps [Palpatine]’s one mistake in creating this 36-key portable endgame is believing in the idea of the endgame in the first place. But I’m not here to judge.
It would seem that [Palpatine] learned some nice tricks while designing this keyboard. Have you heard of 10440 batteries? They’re 3.7 V and usually cheaper than the square Li-Po batteries of the same size.
This bad boy is based on the Seeed Xiao nRF52840, which [Palpatine] believes is worth spending a little bit of extra money on instead of nice!nano clones, while being cheaper than an actual nice!nano would be.
As far as open-sourceness goes, [Palpatine] seems willing to share their design files, although they don’t seem to have been published anywhere at this time.

Historical Clackers: the Munson
You may have noticed that this machine has no typebars. Instead, it uses a horizontal cylinder about the size of a finger. The cylinder slides from side to side and rotates to find the chosen character. Then a hammer strikes from behind the paper, pushing it against the ribbon and the type cylinder.
Much like the later IBM Selectrics and the daisy wheel machines of the 1970s and ’80s, one could easily change the font by swapping out the all-steel type cylinder. The Munson has two Shift keys, one for upper case and another for figures, so only three rows of keys are needed.
The Munson came out in 1890 and was well-received. It won the highest medal awarded at the World’s Fair Chicago, 1893, but the machines are hard to find these days. Eight years after its introduction, the design of the Munson was acquired by the Chicago Writing Machine Co. and rebranded the Chicago.
Finally, the MingKwai Typewriter Emerges From Obscurity
So you get a Historical Clackers two-fer this week; lucky you! After more than half a century, this fascinating Chinese typewriter turned up while a couple was cleaning out her grandfather’s basement in New York.
Jennifer Felix and her husband Nelson posted photos on a Facebook group trying to ID the machine. A flurry of enthusiastic comments flooded the forum, with many people offering to buy the machine.
As it turns out, it’s a MingKwai — the only one in existence. And it’s now in the hands of Stanford Libraries.
This machine was invented in 1947 by a writer, translator, and linguist named Lin Yutang. The MingKwai, which means “clear and fast”, was the first compact concept Chinese typewriter to have a keyboard that was capable of producing 80,000+ characters.
How is that even possible? Mechanical sort and search. Seriously! Check this out: the 72-key board is made up of strokes and shapes, and the characters are arranged in linear order, like an English dictionary. To use it, you would press one of the 36 top keys and one of the 28 bottom keys simultaneously. This triggered a series of rotations in the internals and would bring eight characters into view in a small window that Lin called the “magic eye”. Finally, you would choose your desired character using the numbered keys in the bottom row.
The only known prototype was built by the Carl E. Krum company. Lin was unable to drum up commercial interest to produce it at scale, so he sold the rights and the prototype to Mergenthaler Linotype Company, where Jennifer Felix’s grandfather worked as a machinist. So it never went into production, and the prototype went home with with Grandpa.

I love this but I don't think that last line is true
For people who lack empathy, books and movies teach them how to *act* as though they care about others. By increasing cognitive empathy in someone who lacks affective empathy, you're only giving them more tools with which to manipulate people. It's the same reason abused spouses are counseled against couples therapy
The Nerd Reich are a perfect example of this. They read the books but took away all the wrong lessons
Empathy would be the *next* step (allowing you to take *their* place and go beyond your own grasp of wants and needs, allowing/expanding to *theirs*).

Six young women gathered in central #London to discuss the #ClimateCrisis and the war in #Gaza, the setting could not have been more appropriate. The building in which they sat was a #Quaker meeting house, the home of a movement whose centuries-long history is rooted in protest and a commitment to social justice. On the table were cups of jasmine tea, ginger biscuits and a selection of vegan cheese straws.
Six weeks on, the operation has drawn criticism from religious groups, politicians and activists. The need for such a severe course of action, meted out in a place of #worship, remains a concern, not least for those who were targeted.
