Not sure if this counts, but I hope before I die they find even one more of the poems from the Epic Cycle. Particularly The Telegony (sequel to The Odyssey), The Aithiopis (sequel to The Iliad where Achilles dies), or The Little Iliad (sequel to The Aithiopis where they build the Trojan Horse).

What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

Taco Bell being the 1918 Spain of the doo doo epidemic and catching all the strays bc they were the first to actually do something about it is a hilariously American thing to go down

Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey used occupied land as a film set. That feels like a betrayal | Mohamed Sleiman Labat

This framing is so disgusting and irresponsible. Yes, Taylor Farms supplies Taco Bell. THEY ALSO SUPPLY TONS OF OTHER RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES. People will take "avoid Taco Bell" as the lesson which is NOT HELPFUL. www.wcvb.com/article/cycl...

Feels bad that a director of a major studio film is perfectly comfortable saying that casting non-white actors is just something you do to look woke and otherwise isn't remotely necessary

vagueposting is annoying except for when I do it

the people on this site can be so fucking annoying sometimes

I think we've got the information we need. Let's go get these guys. All of them. And not leave any alive. That sounds like a good plan to me.
