A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

That's being *very* generous giving it a new subject rather than psychology, which it doesn't even come close to being in the realm of.
And it's still a fail. Not a single argument made, not a single source or analysis of thinking presented elsewhere.
Not even the bible!

I think this essay comes closest to being a philosophy essay, maybe theology at a push (but that would make its lack of sources even more egregious).
I studied philosophy.
If I submitted this at any level it would have been an instant and easily graded fail.

Pinter and Stoppard were great friends, which doesn’t stop this being an excellent quip, but he’s teasing Pinter, not seeking to bring him down a peg or two (or whatever).
Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

Petition: Require generative AI watermarks & ban using people’s likeness without consent
As AI generated content becomes increasingly realistic, we think laws should be put in place to prevent misuse. All such media should carry a permanent watermark or disclosure, alongside a blanket ban...

I see The War Between the Land and the Sea starts next weekend. And the first episode is called “Homo Aqua” — so these creatures are more closely related to humans than, say, chimpanzees? FFS would it be impossible for the DW production team to actual find out about scientific taxonomic rules?
