Watched the Chinese animated film Nobody with my family, and we loved it. The filmmakers found a fresh take on Journey to the West, a classic that’s been adapted countless times. Gorgeous backgrounds, a distinctive story, and no attempt to imitate Hollywood.
The letters Q, W, and X were banned in Turkey. In 2006, a mayor was prosecuted for writing “Newroz” instead of “Nevroz.” The policy was framed as enforcing standard Turkish, but in practice it suppressed Kurdish, which uses these letters. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibi...
Буквы Q, W и X были запрещены в Турции. Например, в 2006 мэра суди за то что поздравил людей с Newroz вместо Nevroz. Это начали ради нового стандарта турецкого, где ушли от этих букв. Но по факту, это было подавлением курдского языка, где есть эти буквы. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibi...
The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.
Helldiver 2 faced the similar criticism for its satirical messaging. Thankfully, few in the community fail to recognize it. www.nbcnews.com/tech/helldiv...
A video game has reinvigorated a long-running debate about fascism and satire
Helldivers 2 has prompted a debate on social media: Is the game actually a satire of fascism? And if so, is it worrying that some people don’t seem aware of that?

Deforestation isn’t a modern phenomenon. Humans have been clearing forests for thousands of years. Reforestation is. Once countries reach a certain level of economic development, forest cover often starts to recover.
We live in a world where the creators of Warhammer 40K had to explain that its universe is satire, a critique of fascism, because some far-right fans started treating it as a source of inspiration. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...
Reminder: Spain’s total solar eclipse is coming on August 12. If you live here, don’t miss it. Use an AI to plan your trip, but double-check the viewing spot (the Sun will be very low on the horizon) and buy certified eclipse glasses. It’s unforgettable.
About 25,000 migrants (50% of those who entered Ceuta) already have returned to Morocco after realizing they would not be able to legalize their status in Spain. Around 150 people per minute are now crossing back. www.ultimahora.es/noticias/nac...

Interior calcula que cerca de la mitad de las personas llegadas durante la crisis migratoria ya han regresado al país vecino

Another smart store for Nano Stores by @alexcarpenter.me from Clerk. This time, it’s for forms: validation, submitting, etc. github.com/alexcarpente...
Note that you have more dependencies than just npm packages. Bundled dependencies are still dependencies. You just don’t have the ability to update them yourself. For example, I guess these are included in the typescript binary: github.com/microsoft/ty...
While some people laughed about the number of dependencies in the JS world, others worked to improve the ecosystem (like @e18e.dev). Now many of my open source projects have around 20 packages in node_modules, including transitive dependencies.
The secure way to release an npm package in 2026. Andrey Sitnik frames it as raising attackers’ costs: npm Trusted and Staged Publishing, org-wide 2FA, CI actions pinned to SHA, and a 3-day dependency cooldown. #npm #security evilmartians.com/chr...
Two videos about groups of anti-pickpocket volunteers in Barcelona. They spot thieves in metro, and loudly warn passengers until the pickpockets leave. Interestingly, many of the volunteers are immigrants themselves. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhRC... www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Sm...
Supply chain attacks stealing npm packages are a real threat, with new attacks monthly. But an npm package doesn’t need to be famous to become a target. Check this new post from @en.sitnik.es on the secure release setup made from our experience with 100+ open-source projects. Agent skill inside.

Since the Middle Ages, the Cagots were treated as a hereditary “untouchable” caste in Spain & France: identifying badges, humiliating church entrances, etc. What makes it stranger is that no one knows why. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagot

Another example of society valuing men’s lives less, despite our stated ideals. That bias needs to change. In the U.S., drivers who kill women receive sentences about 60% longer than drivers who kill men. www.stevestewartwilliams.com/p/bias-in-th...
At the 1956 Olympics, protesters opposed the torch relay because the tradition began under Nazi Germany. They distracted the runner and reached the mayor first with a fake torch made from a chair leg. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Ol...
