That effect with the ice on the blue letters looks very modern, almost 1980s, not 1940s, though they wouldn't use that cowboy-ass font in the 1980s. I really love the expression on her face there as she points the gun. She's not just the femme fatale she's the slightly mad Carmen Sternwood type.

Russia is turning over 50,000 Ukrainian children into tools of war through camps, indoctrination, and forced deportation. Kremlin kidnap regime strip 🇺🇦children of their identity and indoctrination them to fight against Ukraine is Russian depravity.
Russian war criminal Putin invaded Ukraine over three years ago with the intent of stealing its children. Putin launched his imperial conquest to first and foremost dominate the Ukrainian people, and he recognized that to deprive Ukraine of its children would be to deprive it of its multigenerational potential. When Russian troops rolled across the border into Ukraine on the night of February 24, 2022, the groundwork for the massive deportation of Ukraine’s children was already well underway.

'Israel' strikes car, kills Lebanese in Tyre amid continued violations
Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement continue amid repeated strikes on civilian vehicles, resulting in martyrs, and striking multiple towns with drones and artillery.Al Mayadeen English ('Israel' strikes car, kills Lebanese in Tyre amid continued violations)
Israel Is Changing Its Story on the Killing of Shireen Abu Akleh - Again
The Israeli military is changing its story on the 2022 killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh – again.
This time, it’s in response to our new investigative documentary, ‘Who Killed Shireen?’ which revealed for the first time the name of the Israeli soldier who fired the fatal shots.
It is hard to keep the ever-shifting stories straight.
When we reached out to the Israeli military for comment earlier this month before we released ‘Who Killed Shireen?’ their response was that it declined to comment. But then, after the film was finalized, the Israeli military story changed – again.
Now, the Israeli military says, “There is no definitive determination regarding the identity of the individual responsible for the shooting that caused the journalist’s death.”
That is in direct contradiction to what the Israeli military officials told foreign reporters when they briefed them on their investigation’s final conclusions. The Israeli military story went from essentially saying: ‘We spoke to the soldier who killed her and he didn’t mean to do it,’ to ‘we couldn’t figure out which soldier might have killed her.’

"The Australian government is refusing freedom of information requests at a rate not seen for a decade, data shows, prompting concerns for transparency and accountability."
"Transparency International Australia chief executive officer, Clancy Moore, said the FoI system was an essential tool in ensuring accountability and integrity, but refusal rates suggested “important information about the functioning of government is being kept from everyday Australians”.

Rat Hunter is a bizarre game.
Its Steam page deliberately sells this as “Slavjank”. And yeah, I guess that’s what it is – a janky mess full of bugs.
This FPS was released in Russia all the way back in 2006, pretty much stayed in Russia for 18 years, then suddenly got a worldwide release last year with English localization.
The voice acting is hilarious. And despite all the bugs – and the greenish-brown colour palette – there’s fun to be had here.

Horse Art (9 Photos)
From cobbled alleys in Amsterdam to sunlit beaches and snowy Moscow nights, these nine horse-themed street artworks showcase the raw energy, grace, and symbolism of one of humanity’s oldest companions. You’ll find everything from 3D illusions rising from the pavement to towering silo murals glowing with emotion. Whether sculpted from sand, painted with photorealism, or rendered through abstract color fields, each piece reimagines the horse in its own way—playful, powerful, surreal, or poetic.

The image depicts a serene riverside scene. In the foreground, a narrow dirt path runs parallel to the calm water, bordered by dense greenery. The river reflects the surrounding trees and sky, creating a mirror-like effect. On the left, a tree leans over the water, its branches partially submerged. The vegetation is lush and varied, with bushes and trees of different heights and shades of green. In the background, the river continues, with a bridge faintly visible in the distance. The sky is overcast, contributing to the tranquil atmosphere. The overall scene is one of natural beauty and tranquility.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist • • •The image depicts a dramatic space battle scene. In the foreground, a large, red, cylindrical spaceship dominates the scene, with multiple smaller ships flying around it. The ship has a complex structure with various protrusions and what appear to be weapon systems. The background is filled with a fiery, orange-red sky, suggesting an intense battle environment. Several smaller ships are visible, some emitting trails of light, indicating movement or firing. The overall color palette is dominated by reds, oranges, and yellows, enhancing the sense of chaos and destruction. The scene conveys a sense of action and conflict, with the large ship seemingly at the center of the battle.
