Is AI killing the art connoisseur?
Such specialists are an endangered species but computer attribution is often wrong — and can be out by as much as a century

De USing NATO is probably a good thing ..
When an allegedly US draft peace agreement includes a clause about the US mediating between NATO and Russia, and if the president keeps talking about NATO as if the US isn't part of it, this shouldn't be much of a shock. The US is ceasing to be a NATO ally.

Ukrainians who fail ‘filtration’ interrogation held prisoner in Russian ‘refugee’ point until FSB fabricates charges
Russia’s ‘filtration’, aimed at ferreting out those seen as too ‘pro-Ukrainian’ is already profoundly illegal, with the details of how criminal charges are concocted, positively terrifying

How is this a shock to anyone who's been paying even the most minimal attention to what Trump has been saying and his admin have been doing all year? I posted this in February, for example. Officials who simply chose not to believe it because it's all too difficult might want to rethink their career

Ukraine is indomitable..
To be honest we don't know how much damage in Kyiv was caused by falling debris and possibly EW.
Power infrastructure was hit again and 600,000 lost electricity and many were without water.
Half those affected had services restored by lunchtime.

A good article on the US regime's plan to fund russia's conquest of Eastern Europe.
Russia is pitching a peace-through-business plan to a Trump team envoy Witkoff, offering sanctions relief and U.S. investment in exchange for Ukraine freezing the front line and giving up NATO. A must-read really given the ongoing circumstances.

The Russian shadow fleet tanker *Virat* was reportedly struck again by naval drones in the Black Sea early this morning. After burning through the night from the first hit, the ship took additional damage to its starboard side. Turkish tugboats remain distant, with no rescue request issued.

I'd settle for just exocising the populism & russian influence out of our politics..
We have got to make politics intellectual again. It is the only way that societies thrive is when politicians have the capability to actually think and reflect deeply:
![I confess that I always had difficulty with interpreting the Biblical precept to love our neighbours “as ourselves” until I read some of the words of C.S. Lewis. He pointed out that we don't exactly love ourselves when we fall below the standards and beliefs we have accepted. Indeed we might even hate ourselves for some unworthy deed.
None of this, of course, tells us exactly what kind of political and social institutions we should have. On this point, Christians will very often genuinely disagree, though it is a mark of Christian manners that they will do so with courtesy and mutual respect. [Applause] What is certain, however, is that any set of social and economic arrangements which is not founded on the acceptance of individual responsibility will do nothing but harm.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xbnsfdtxoothg654ujxe3p25/bafkreicrdgbtvm54qnmttwe6crhxwt4be5v3izjmqtnvlxmaljwg5wolai@jpeg)
