🇷🇺⚓️ In a newly intercepted call released by Ukraine’s military intelligence, a Russian sailor from Belgorod reveals a grim ultimatum from the Black Sea Fleet: “Sign the contract, stay on the ship. Don’t sign, get sent to the infantry.”
Those refusing to renew contracts are being reassigned to the notorious 810th Naval Infantry Brigade, known for catastrophic losses during frontal assaults. The sailor describes it bluntly: "810 means storming positions. You know what that means.”
"Find the difference in the rhetoric—if you can."

Europol descrive il 2035: robot hackerati che spiano famiglie, droni kamikaze in mano a terroristi, folle che distruggono macchine per strada. Il rapporto di 48 pagine prevede tre fronti aperti: macchine usate come armi, robot manipolati per grooming infantile, rivolte anti tecnologia nelle periferie. Se vi sembra strano, sappiate che è solo una proiezione di ciò che accade (molto in piccolo) già adesso. I crimini del futuro hanno un volto sempre meno umano.

I liked the point about implicit representations as a counter argument to Pugh's statement on self-knowledge. Way more insightful than my knee-jerk reaction of "This is obviously wrong" 😆
