💁Was about time I updated some public repos. Here's my poor-man's cutting-edge game framework in C Vulkan & OpenXR. Enough for a polished vertical slice. And written for hoomans with blogpost-grade comment blocks!

So what is in "The Deal with Islamic Republic of Iran"? If you're confused, it's normal: the US and Iran already publicly disagree on what they agreed to, and it's not even a "deal": just a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that sets the terms for negotiating the actual deal within the next 60 days. We do, however, know a few things: 1) Israel is actively trying to undermine the deal - for instance by striking Beirut yesterday Sunday. Israeli media say that the deal is causing "profound concern among Israeli officials," that "Israel, despite having started the war alongside the US, was not involved in the negotiations," and that "the deal do[es] not achieve the goals of the war that were set out by the US and Israel" (timesofisrael.com/us-iran-re…). That last part is clear: the very existence of this MOU proves the objectives of the war were not met, as they certainly didn't include the US negotiating an exit with an undefeated Iran while Israel is freaking out about it on the sidelines. 2) We know, because both parties and Pakistan (the mediator) confirmed it, that a finalized MOU does exist and that it's due to be formally signed on Friday in Switzerland by JD Vance and maybe Trump himself (Vance told Fox News: “I certainly plan to be there, but it’s possible the president himself could be there” nbcnews.com/news/us-news/dea…) 3) We know Trump ordered the US naval blockade to be lifted (supposedly today, Monday) 4) The Strait of Hormuz will reopen on the Iranian side (though both parties publicly spun the terms differently - Trump says "toll-free," Iran's FM Araghchi says with "service fees") 5) The war would end on all fronts including Lebanon - both sides used this exact phrase. Israel, obviously, is trying hard to spoil this. 6) Some form of sanctions relief is included - Iran speaks of "termination of all sanctions" (fortune.com/2026/06/14/iran-…) and a senior US official confirmed the structure is "Iran would earn economic rewards each time it met a set of US demands" 7) The MOU apparently does not agree on anything wrt nuclear, just that it will be discussed during the 60-day negotiation window, with Iran maintaining its current nuclear status quo in the meantime 8) In fact I suspect the MOU defers most things truly contested - like nuclear - to later negotiations while resolving in the immediate only the problems the war itself created: stop shooting, reopen the strait (under updated Iranian rules), and lift the blockade. Which means that, most likely, this "deal" is - at this stage - less a deal than an acknowledgement of the new status quo reached in the war. It differs from the April 5 ceasefire in that, this time, the US is lifting all coercion it introduced in the war - including the naval blockade it imposed on April 13. So in effect the war had two phases of failed coercion (military, then economic with the blockade), and the MOU formalizes the failure of both. In exchange what the US is getting is a conversation about its initial stated war objectives (like nuclear), which it will now have to pursue after having proven it cannot impose them by force. Needless to say, you don't get better terms at the table after showing you couldn't get them on the battlefield 🤷

Ikumi's Kemuri from UNSEEN is 3 player co-op with great looking mechanics and bosses, plus a setting with strong designs and interesting culture representation.

They used a classified DoD aircraft that is disguised as a civilian aircraft with concealed weapon bays. They flew so low that the boat saw them coming. The survivors clung to a section of the ship the size of a dinner table before SOUTHCOM executed them with follow up strikes.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is set to expire after a re-authorization vote for its warrantless spy powers failed in the House. Cindy Cohn of @EFF explains why the controversial provision in place since 2008 was finally shot down.

Good time to remind people of the crackin lads of kneecap; lesson on multiculturalism, empire sectarianism, staged far right riots, snuffing out the irish language, modern problems and solutions, palestine. Watch Kneecap the movie. youtube.com/watch?v=_V-YS0Db…

🌍 World Seeing Highest Number of Armed Conflicts Since World War II There were 65 active conflicts worldwide in 2025 — with direct wars between states doubling to eight, the most since records began in 1946, according to Sweden’s Uppsala Conflict Data Program, as reported by NPR. Roughly 244,600 people were killed in conflict in 2025, up from 187,000 the year before and the highest toll since the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Russia-Ukraine is currently the deadliest war, followed by Sudan and Israel’s war on Gaza. Researchers linked the surge to a shifting global order, citing growing arguments that the world is witnessing “the end of Pax Americana.” 📸 Visual from NPR. Story linked below.

🪖 A study published in One Earth by researchers at Queen Mary University of London and Lancaster University calls for mandatory reporting of military emissions under the UN climate framework, noting that countries are currently not required to disclose the carbon footprint of warfare.

Most people know Kenya for wildlife. Far fewer know it already operates one of the cleanest electricity systems on Earth. Around 91% of electricity now comes from renewable sources, while fossil generation has fallen from roughly 48% in 2010 to around 10% in 2025. What's remarkable is that this happened while Kenya's population grew from ~40 million to ~58 million people and electricity access expanded dramatically. The backbone is geothermal energy from the Great Rift Valley, supported by hydro, wind and increasingly solar. Projects like Olkaria geothermal and Lake Turkana Wind Power were backed by a mix of Kenyan investment, development banks and international financing from institutions such as the World Bank, African Development Bank, EIB and others. Kenya didn't wait to become wealthy before building clean energy. It used clean energy to help drive development.

Gas spent 20 years owning the evening peak. Batteries took a year to crash the party. That's disruption. Not gradual, but a rapid shift in who supplies grid's most valuable hours. The battle was never about total generation. It was about the peak & batteries are winning it.

22nd anniversary

The Trump Administration is prematurely dismantling an invaluable ocean monitoring system built at taxpayer expense that was supposed to last until 2041. Because apparently climate change doesn't exist if you prevent scientists from measuring it.
