    I can go down a LONG list of why @InfinityWard is the worst of the 3 devs for cod dating back to cod ghost let’s do it. 1. Cod ghost base maps were way too big they wanted to be battlefield. 2. Infinite warfare was just straight up trash 3. Mw 2019 they made a lot of poor decisions gameplay and mechanic wise 4. Tac sprint (although I don’t have a problem with it now) 5. Took red dots off the mini map 6. Once again they wanted to be battlefield putting in a dumb *** fly over camera when you die having to wait to respawn. 7. Too many animations and unnecessary **** to use kill streaks slowing down gameplay. 8. DOORS 9. 2019 catered to trash players 10. Too many negative affects when using certain attachments once again slowing down gameplay. This is how you break down why you don’t like some **** 😭 #modernwarfare4 #blackops

    @CENTCOM Iran struck a US base in Jordan Friday night, killing two American service members and leaving a third missing, the first US combat deaths in this war since March. CENTCOM says today’s new strikes are direct retaliation, aimed at degrading Iran’s ability to threaten Hormuz shipping and punishing the IRGC units responsible, marking an eighth consecutive night of strikes since fighting resumed in early July. Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan accused the US of exploiting the MOU to seize parts of the Strait of Hormuz it couldn’t win on the battlefield, and said Iran does not accept that outcome. An advisor to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei went further, warning that if the US continues for two to three more days, Iran will abandon “retaliation in kind” altogether. War Day 141. MOU Day 32. Both sides are now openly discarding the framework that was supposed to end this. 📡 CSN24X7

    The only thing that annoys me more than grey filter is how they even started abandoning heraldic surcoats in modern movies. Henry V (1989) vs some modern abomination of what's supposed to be Henry V. The reason why this annoys me the most is because there should be no excuse for this. There is no reasonable way to explain why you would not include heraldic surcoats in a movie depicting medieval warfare, considering how important part of warfare this was, serving as an identification for nobles and their units in a time when standardized uniforms did not exist yet. With most other things you could sort of make some lame excuse. Like for example grey filter - artistic choise (a completely horrible one that makes the movie unwatchable but ok), real historic armors are expensive, extras are expensive etc. But this is literally just a piece of cloth. It should be no problem for a movie of a budget of this magnitude to get historically correct heraldic surcoats and tunics for the soldiers, depicting their coats of arms, the colors of their factions etc. Also imagine how stupid and unrealistic this is, if the medieval armies had no heraldic surcoats and other types of colorful identifications like tunics, badges, it would be extremely difficult to tell each other apart on the battlefield, practically impossible in many cases. Yes in modern movies you have scenes of two armies with knights on both sides only wearing armors with no identifications whatsoever (even banners are rare), and the commoners wearing colorless rags, the infantry troops are not fighting under their banners. It's ridiculous. How could they even be able to recognize each other. So the fact that these modern movies don't include this shows me that they are not even slightly interesting in being historically accurate and giving a fair depiction of a certain time period, they have no interest in presenting history, in fact it obviously appears that they want to actively portray it in a much worse matter than it was, because they removed of the most colorful and coolest aspects of the time, which would have cost them absolutely nothing of significance to include.

    @imbalancedtherm @LilithDatura Achilles returns because Patroclus’ death transforms the quarrel. Before that, Achilles is refusing participation because Agamemnon has dishonored him. His absence is deliberate: he wants the Greeks to feel the cost of treating him as expendable. Even when the Greeks begin losing badly, gifts and apologies are not enough. His pride is still stronger than his allegiance to the war. Then Patroclus dies wearing Achilles’ armor. That changes the meaning of Achilles’ withdrawal. What had been a defense of dignity now appears to Achilles as something that helped create the conditions for the death of the person he loved most. Hector killed Patroclus, but Achilles experiences the death partly as his own consequence. His rage therefore turns in two directions: outward, toward Hector; inward, toward himself. He returns because remaining outside the battle is no longer morally or emotionally possible. The war has crossed the boundary he created. How he returns He does not return through calm reconciliation or renewed loyalty to Agamemnon. First, he grieves. He collapses, covers himself with dust, tears his hair, and cries out so violently that Thetis hears him beneath the sea. He tells her that he no longer wishes to live unless he can kill Hector. At that point Achilles knowingly accepts his own death. Thetis warns him that Hector’s death will soon be followed by his own. Achilles chooses to return anyway. That is crucial. He does not believe he is returning to resume his former life. He returns after deciding that the life available to him without Patroclus is no longer sufficient reason to avoid his fate. Then comes the practical problem: Hector has taken Achilles’ armor from Patroclus. Achilles cannot immediately enter combat properly armed. Thetis goes to Hephaestus, who creates new armor for him, including the great shield depicting an entire human world—cities, marriages, courts, harvests, war, dancing, animals, stars, and the surrounding ocean. So Achilles reenters wearing not merely replacement armor, but armor containing an image of everything his grief has temporarily made him unable to see. Before he fights, he publicly ends the quarrel with Agamemnon. Agamemnon offers compensation and attempts to explain his behavior as a kind of divinely induced blindness. Achilles accepts the settlement, but almost impatiently. He is not deeply reconciled. He simply refuses to let the old dispute delay him any longer. His return therefore occurs through four movements: Patroclus dies. Achilles accepts responsibility and grief. He knowingly accepts the cost of returning. He receives new armor and relinquishes the quarrel. What he returns for Initially, he returns for vengeance. Not for Greece. Not for Agamemnon. Not even primarily for honor. He returns to kill Hector and answer the intolerable fact of Patroclus’ death. That is why his return is both magnificent and catastrophic. The same love that brings him back also makes him nearly inhuman in battle. He kills without restraint, fights a river, refuses mercy, kills Hector, and abuses Hector’s body. He has reentered relationship with the world, but only through the narrow gate of revenge. His deeper return happens later. When Priam comes to retrieve Hector’s body, he kneels before Achilles and kisses the hands that killed his son. He asks Achilles to remember his own father. That appeal reconnects Achilles’ private grief with another person’s grief. Achilles weeps for Patroclus and for his father; Priam weeps for Hector. For a moment, enemy categories dissolve beneath shared mortality. Only then does Achilles truly return to the human world. So there are really two returns: The first return is to battle, caused by grief and driven by vengeance. The second return is to humanity, caused by recognition and expressed through mercy. That second return is why the story does not end with Hector’s death. Victory is not the completion of Achilles’ arc. The completion is his decision to stop using Hector’s body as a vessel for his rage, return it to Priam, share food with his enemy, and allow mourning to occur. Achilles comes back to the battlefield because Patroclus dies. He comes back from the battlefield because Priam reminds him that grief does not belong to him alone.

    One more philippic holding general Syrskyi responsible for "Soviet style" military mismanagement and all the "avoidable excessive losses" of UAF. Yet decisionistically reducing all those problems to one of bad personal leadership without addressing systemic constraints and failures (lack of manpower and training, internal Ukr. problems with logistics and procurement, cases of fortifications remaining unmanned, inadequate equipment partly due to insufficient Western support, etc) may not be sufficient to overcome them. The failure of the Ukr.summer offensive, certainly not a masterpiece of strategic originality - there was no surprise effect - was also due to insufficient equipment, from modern battlefield missile and demining systems to tank rescue vehicles, but even more so to generally low numbers of heavy equipment, and the lack of direct air support (combat helicopters, airborne raids etc).

    $INFQ @infleqtion The market is treating this like a busted de-**** while Washington / @DoWCTO is treating this category like strategic infrastructure. That is the huge disconnect and where most of my angst comes from. The stock price is ugly. No way around it. Macro is not friendly. Semis have been derisking. High beta names are getting hit. Oil/Iran/rates/small cap sentiment are all real issues in the short term. But the company specific and government specific story is moving in the opposite direction. That’s what I must focus on now. The market is asking: Where is the immediate revenue? Where are the awards? Where are the contracts? Why is this still trading like a speculative quantum name? Fair questions. But Washington appears to be asking something very different and is requesting it as soon as humanly possible: Who can field quantum sensors? Who can support GPS denied environments? Who can improve timing and navigation? Who can detect RF signals? Who can miniaturize cold-atom systems? This is becoming a big one. Who can support ISR, defense, space and critical infrastructure? Who can turn quantum from lab hardware into deployable systems? That is where $INFQ keeps getting stronger. Because Infleqtion is not just sitting in the “quantum computer someday” bucket. They are sitting across the table and working on the exact questions that Washington needs answered: Cold neutral atom compute/sensing. Atomic clocks. RF sensing. PNT. Defense. Space. Networking. Miniaturization. Field deployment. And the federal roadmap keeps moving straight into those lanes. Commerce LOI. White House EO signing. Matt Kinsella in the Oval Office. White House quantum summit. CNBC visibility. Barron’s coverage. QED-C Capitol Hill showcase. Army / ARL RF sensing work. Farseer quantum sensing initiative. DARPA Perrseus. Quantum Genesis. Quantum World Congress. None of these alone makes the thesis. But together, it looks less and less random. @DARPA Perrseus is a great example. That program is not asking “who has the best stock chart?” It is asking how to build microscale ultra high-vacuum systems for compact cold-atom devices, MEMS, photonics and quantum sensors. Translation: make atomic systems smaller, more rugged, more manufacturable and more field ready. That is exactly the bottleneck for clocks, sensors, PNT, RF and battlefield deployment. That is Infleqtion’s language. That is Infleqtion’s roadmap. And that is the quiet part the market does not price until it has to. The stock can be ugly before the thesis becomes obvious. That is how these things work I guess. The market looks at $INFQ and sees a $9 stock with early revenue and **** baggage. Washington looks at this technology and sees timing, sensing, navigation, defense, space, RF, quantum networks, ISR and national security infrastructure. Those are two very different messages. Important dates I’m watching: August 3 — DARPA Perrseus abstracts encouraged August 18 - Q2 Earnings August 21 — EO deadline for DoW to identify at least 3 next-gen quantum sensor projects September 1 — Perrseus intent to propose deadline September 20–23 — Impact 250 September 23 — Perrseus full proposals due September 23–25 — Quantum World Congress I don’t know when the market wakes up. But I do think this is the kind of setup where the real move happens after most people have already gotten tired, shaken out, or convinced themselves nothing is happening. Wall Street is still trying to value this like another early stage quantum-computing stock. I think Washington may be telling us it is something much more important than that. $INFQ is an atom based infrastructure company. And right now, the government seems to understand that far better than the market does.

    @IgboTradeRoutes @HarmlessHQ Captain Traore is doing what he can with limited resources against multiple threats. Respect that. But let's not pretend Saudi Arabia is a small player or irrelevant here. They have deep pockets, influence across the Sahel via Wahhabi networks, and a long history of funding Islamist groups (from Salafis to worse). France/Europe aren't the only external actors with agendas in the region, Gulf money has been flowing into these areas for decades. The real question is: why are we still outsourcing our (Africa) security and ideology to foreigners (whether Paris, Riyadh, or Ankara)? Africa needs to solve its own problems without becoming a battlefield for other powers' proxy games. Traore's fight is brave, but clarity on all external funders (not just the ones we dislike most) matters if we're serious about sovereignty

    The funny thing is, Daemon probably would've crushed any rebellion before it even started. Nobody questioned his ability to wage war or command dragons. The problem is that ruling a kingdom isn't the same as winning one. Daemon was brilliant on the battlefield but unpredictable in peace. He solved problems with steel long before he considered diplomacy, and that's exactly what worried people like Viserys. Maybe the Dance never happens with Daemon on the Iron Throne... or maybe Westeros just gets a different kind of bloodshed. Either way, he'd have been one of the most feared kings the realm had ever seen.

    [The Place I Buried Me] I got a heart full of history, a mouth full of apologies. A room full of memories that still know my name honestly. I learned how to smile with a storm in my bloodstream, Hide all the cracks in the glass like they’re part of the scenery. I was a kid with a fist full of wishes and a head full of thunder, Running from the echoes of the things that I couldn’t recover. Told myself “Be a man” so I swallowed the pain, Put a lock on my chest and threw away the number. But you found the door when I boarded it shut, Saw the war underneath all the armor and dust. You touched the places I buried alive, The parts of myself I was scared to trust. And I hate that I need you, But I love that you see through the version of me that I built just to survive. The man in the mirror got tired of pretending, He’s begging for mercy with tears in his eyes. I got scars that don’t show in a photograph, Old conversations that still make my stomach collapse. The smell of your perfume on a faded hoodie, A ghost of a moment that I can’t get back. I remember the nights when the silence got violent, When my thoughts turned a whisper into a riot. I was fighting myself with a smile on my face, While everybody praised how well I was hiding. They said, “You’re strong” but they never asked why. Never saw the storms that I carried inside. Never saw me staring at the ceiling at midnight, Trying to convince my own soul to survive. If love is a battlefield, I showed up bleeding. Still holding your hand while my heart was retreating. I gave you the pieces I thought were too broken, Hoping you’d see they were worth keeping. I’m not looking for someone to save me, I’m not asking you to erase me. I just want somebody who can sit in the darkness and still recognize the man beneath the crazy. Because I’ve been a king with a crown made of problems, A saint with a sinner’s confession. A heart full of gold in a body that’s frozen, A beautiful mess asking for connection. So if I ever push you away, don’t believe it. Sometimes my fear gets louder than my feelings. Sometimes the boy who learned how to survive has to relearn what it means to be needed. And if tomorrow I’m gone from the place where you found me, Know I fought every demon that tried to surround me. I don’t want a grave with my name on the stone, I want a life where I finally come home. Please, let me come home.

    This morning sits on one question, what kind of money is willing to hold inside 64K to 65K. That zone is still the market's decision point, but treating every push above or below it like a verdict has been the mistake. $BTC is moving inside the area, trying to earn acceptance there. For now this reads like a battlefield, not a border. The flow says money is coming in, but through BTC first. USDT.D is fading, so there is no obvious scramble for protection, while BTC dominance is rising, which tells you the tape still prefers the cleanest and most liquid expression of crypto risk. That fits the backdrop. Regulation and cyber headlines are pushing selection, not blanket liquidation. The market is separating institutional grade crypto from the messier edges, and BTC is getting treated like an internal safe haven. So the move higher this morning does not read like euphoria. Fear is still at 28, volume is thin, and alts are still lagging. But price is up, cap is up, OI is up, and stables are not strengthening. That is enough to say the market is trying to move from suspicious relief toward higher quality holding above the test zone. Broadly, this is still a trust check. Price is no longer getting thrown away immediately on contact with 64K to 65K, and that is real progress. The missing piece is breadth. What I am watching is simple. A convincing loss of 64K, especially with USDT.D rising and total cap slipping, would say this was another weak hold. If BTC holds above 65K, cap keeps rising, USDT.D keeps wearing down, and BTC.D stops climbing, then the read upgrades from selective BTC shelter to wider risk opening.

    The current situation around open-weights AI—and the panic it’s triggering in the U.S.—was the most obvious, predictable outcome imaginable. It’s been clear since early 2023 that, under the current paradigm, nobody has a real moat—nothing strong enough to justify the massive investments poured in. We don’t even know how much it cost to train Chinese models like Kimi K3 or GLM 5.2. Even if it were billions, releasing them as open weights inflicts damage on the U.S. industrial and military system comparable to sinking a dozen aircraft carriers. The $5T poured into data centers, AI, and debt-financed bets by OpenAI and Anthropic now look increasingly questionable. With relatively modest costs, you can burn your opponent’s granary. Framing AI as a race like the space race or the atomic bomb was a colossal mistake. Kai-Fu Lee helped plant the “mental bomb” that emerging, still-uncertain technologies like AI should become the battlefield for a supposed Armageddon. The U.S. bought into it—and bet everything on this train. U.S. market indices are bound to blow up. If China can build reusable rockets (and Japan follows the next day), how does SpaceX justify a $1.5T valuation? If Moonshot AI or DeepSeek can track U.S. models this closely, the entire AI market narrative collapses. This isn’t about “only China can.” With enough investment, anyone can—and that’s the problem. If $1T buys you just a six-month lead, the game simply isn’t worth it. AI remains an incredibly powerful technology, capable of unlocking unprecedented heights. But the Moloch built around it in the U.S. can only collapse. I struggle to imagine any scenario where it doesn’t—at least with these technological foundations.

    The knight came off his horse hard, plate armor ringing against the dirt. He was still alive. That was the problem the man standing over him had to solve, quickly, before the knight got back to his feet. The morning star wasn't the clumsy peasant club of movie sets. It was a purpose-built tool, and by the 15th century it had a specific job: kill men wearing the best armor money could buy. The design is brutal in its logic. A short wooden haft, usually two to three feet long, topped with a heavy head studded with iron spikes and a longer central spike at the tip. The whole thing weighed several pounds, and every ounce of that weight sat at the business end. Swords were mostly useless against full plate. A good harness would turn a cutting edge, and thrusts had to find the small gaps at the armpit, groin, or visor. A trained man in expensive steel was, for all practical purposes, a walking fortress. The morning star didn't need to cut. It needed to transfer force. A solid strike to a helmet delivered enough concussive shock to drop a man even if the metal held. The spikes concentrated that force into small points, punching through weaker plate and mail entirely. Against joints, faceplates, or a man already on the ground, the effect was catastrophic. It was used by professional soldiers, foot troops, and mounted men. Swiss infantry carried them. German Landsknechte carried them. Bohemian fighters in the Hussite Wars used related weapons to devastating effect against armored knights who had assumed peasants couldn't touch them. The name itself gets confused. "Morning star" (Morgenstern in German) refers to the spiked head. It's often mixed up with the flail, which had a chain and a swinging weight. The flail was harder to control and less common than a century of illustrations suggests. The morning star was the workhorse. When archaeologists pull these weapons out of battlefield sites, the heads are often deformed. Spikes bent, iron shafts split, wood shattered at the socket. They did the work they were built to do. #drthehistories

    The IAF wants a man-portable loitering munition that can hit targets 40 km away, under a fresh Make in India RFI 🇮🇳 This is the air force asking Indian companies to build a backpack-carried kamikaze drone for troops on the ground. The system needs to fly for over two hours and carry either HE or HEAT warheads, so it can hit soft targets and armored ones both. That kind of range and staying power in something a soldier can carry would be a real jump from what's currently in service. Give infantry this kind of reach and precision, and the battlefield math changes fast 🚩
