Many more such cases since I posted this. It's clear that #Thailand's army is targeting scam compounds inside #Cambodia, but it's still unclear exactly why.
IIRC this is the third Cambodian border casino that Thai forces have attacked since yesterday. This one is Pursat province; the others were in O'Smach (Oddar Meanchey province) and Preah Vihear province. All have been linked to online scamming operations.

My first contribution for @navalnewscom from the Indo Pacific Maritime Exposition 2025 in Sydney this week. The article suitably covers a somewhat troubled child of Australian naval procurement, which starts to join the fleet in numbers going into 2026. navalnews.com/event-news/ind…

Thread. In Russia, the trend of outflow of deposits from banks has begun to accelerate. The rate is currently 500 billion rubles/month. What dangers does this pose to the financial system? 1. A drop in the level of liquidity in weak banks with subsequent bankruptcy. 1/

More human hunting safaris by Russians. They literally send drones out looking for random civilians to kill
You might find this picture morbid or eerie- odd in its own way, with unsettling details. Why is there a body on a door? Why is there no casket? And why is this happening in a lawn? It's a short story - one that makes the distant, abstract feeling of war suddenly tangible:

Reality of life as a civilian in Kyiv
For the first time in this war, I wrote in the first person. Here is what it's like to experience an air raid in Kyiv, to negotiate between bombs and normality, and to come out of shelter into the smoky aftermath. Free to read: wsj.com/world/gaming-the-air…

Let me tell you something about this country of ours, Ukraine. In Ukraine, our Muslim and Jewish communities stand united in full support of defending this country from being erased by Russia's war of aggression. In Kyiv, we have Jewish cuisine restaurants and historic synagogues standing alongside Muslim cultural centers and the mosque—key landmarks of the city, next to our ancient cathedrals, the true heart of East Slavic Christianity. In central Kyiv, the Sholom Aleichem Museum and statue are almost next to halal restaurants. Crimean Tatar culture and cuisine have been thriving in the last decade (yes, the "Musafir"!). And guess what? There’s no antagonism, no violence, no mutual calls for genocide or expulsion—just normal, civilized coexistence and vibrant life. Guess which country saw no Jewish pogroms after the October 7 attack and during the war in Gaza? The chief rabbi of Ukraine speaks to the world, seeking compassion and support for Ukraine in wartime. His adopted son was killed in action, defending the country as a soldier. Many prominent Jewish figures and their sons and daughters have fought for Ukraine since 2014. Just google "Asher Joseph Cherkassky." The chief mufti of Ukraine’s largest Muslim union resigned from his position after Russia’s full-scale invasion to serve in the military as a combat paramedic. Our president is Jewish, and our defense minister is Muslim. Despite Ukraine being a predominantly Slavic country, we have a Black member of parliament who is also an Olympic champion and a universally respected public figure with multiple state decorations. Oh, and by the way—the so-called "CIA coup," which people without brain worms know as the Euromaidan revolution against a corrupt Russian puppet regime that used brutal violence against peaceful protesters, started with a Facebook post by an Afghan-born Pashtun. He was one of Ukraine's most influential journalists at the time and is now a prominent public and government figure—whose younger brother, a well-known lawyer and veteran care activist, lost an eye fighting for Ukraine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep spamming about "Nazi Ukraine" in the comments—I’d love to see how many countries today can boast this level of interfaith and interethnic unity.

Same but what really scares the hell out of me is all the posts from a younger generation claiming Ping is a "legacy" tool or Burpsuite/Metasploit being outdated.😳 WHUT? Someone is feeding them this garbage. Then, to add insult to injury, they're encouraging each other to run scripts to solve problems without understanding what it is they're running or the reasons behind why they're able to do what they're able to do with the script and when someone asks a question like why does that script do that they tell him to Google it rather than explain. And the reason they do that is they can't explain because they themselves don't know. Not knowing something is okay and you should be able to admit that but don't come off as an expert and give people wrong advice and then when you're asked to explain tell them to Google it. They have zero clue how to troubleshoot and if you toss a word like root cause analysis at them I honestly think they would become catatonic. Didn't LINPEAS have a backdoor in it? This is why you don't run scripts without understanding what they do. And while that's not always possible to understand every line of code all the time you shouldn't be running these types of scripts in like a production environment where it can take down hundreds of systems. Or worse leave your systems vulnerable to attack. It's why we set up testing harnesses in sandboxed environments that we can quickly tear down and the same methodology is used for practice hacking labs in tear down environments because they're not supposed to be permanent and they are highly vulnerable. What you should be watching out for is any lines in the code where a socket is being opened. That's just common sense. Learn living off the land binaries (LOLBINS, LOTL) because that's what scripts are relying on. In the real world when you're administering a real network these are the tools you're going to use every day to do your work which is why in order to become a proficient hacker you need to have a base understanding of computers and networks. You're going to use ping all the time and there isn't a week in my entire three decade career that I haven't used it. Anyone who tells you it's legacy does not know what they're talking about. Please don't listen to comments like these because they're not based in reality or fact. It's usually somebody's ego driving them and these aren't leaders in their fields in any way shape or form. They're just trolls. Most of the tools you need are at your fingertips already in the system and none of them are outdated.
This hurts my soul.

This!
Seems like it’s time for me to explain again, why Ukraine cannot simply freeze the war and call it peace: - Without a defense clause and troops on the ground from other countries, Ukraine will need a massive standing army to guard a frontline spanning over a thousand kilometers. - No deterrence against a new invasion will drive more people to leave as borders reopen, fearing a repeat attack. - Post-war elections in a democratic Ukraine will spark a political crisis if Zelensky is forced into a bad peace deal. - A nation in political turmoil, under constant Russian threat, won’t attract investments or recover its economy with high-interest loans. - It will embolden those who argue that yielding to Russian demands is the only way to avoid Ukraine’s fate, referring to a cheap oil and gas as justification. - An impoverished, crisis-ridden Ukraine will be no match for a partially recovering Russia, which can leverage eased sanctions and resource exports. - Aid at current levels won’t continue indefinitely, while Russia has more potential to recover than an aid-deprived Ukraine. In short, any deal that doesn’t deter Russia from a second invasion is a death sentence for Ukraine

Trump is taking the idea that an infinite number of monkeys will one day write Shakespeare and applying it to government.

This deserves to be amplified because, we often take our cleaners for granted, and some of them are a god damned delight to have around the workplace. They are legit the only people whom you might get to share a smile with all day at work.
