problematic but genuine request:
I am looking for any account of how it is that Israel can have used unlimited US weaponry targeted by so-called AI for 18months, but also of course deployed with genocidal indiscriminate-ness, on a tiny strip of land and still have an enemy to fight? What does this say about the exaggerated capabilities of modern warfare (in ways different to Russia's similar 'incompetence' [sorry for the poor phraseology])?

Landmark Gender Justice Agreement for Indonesian Garment Workers Shows the Power of Research and Campaigning
Last year, two garment factories in Indonesia signed a gender justice agreement aimed at eliminating gender-based violence with a union-led program. Now, the organizers behind it want to see the model spread across the country.

What is the equivalent of Dunning-Kruger but for when an electorate installs an aggressively stupid populist who destroys much of the technoscientific knowledge of that nation but the electorate is not sufficiently educated to comprehend what is being destroyed until their infrastructures and health systems start failing?

Carbon capture projects promise a climate fix — and a fossil fuel lifeline
The Kasawari gas field, off the coast of Malaysian Borneo, was discovered in 2011 and has been seen as a lifeline for the country’s energy dreams. Malaysia has long depended on oil and gas exports for economic expansion and government revenue, and this new field promised to allow state-owned oil company Petronas and its partners […]

Cannot even find where i read it but because i first read about an alleged breach of data from the Israeli government held by the Iranian government (on Mossad agents, recordings from secret cameras installed by Netanyahu to get compromising info on potential rivals, and much more, apparently all from a 2024 hack or leak) i have not been able to shake the twisted thought that the war Israel has now started against Iran is the new worst ever fallout for bad information security.
