Aww, the kitty is providing enrichment activity for the museum guard. 🐈‍⬛

For five years, a security guard has been fighting against a black cat which seems to want to enter an art museum. So far, the cat has lost all the time... Two photos of the security wearing white gloves blocking the black cat from entering. So nice of the kitty to take time everyday to play with the guard (and by play, I mean try to defeat)

"Blocks 98% of harmful UV light" is one product advertised here.
Does it also block green UV light? And what about blacklight?
I'm so confused.

Hey Netflix, I'm never going to install a mobile phone game from an advert on your header. Never. I never install ANY mobile phone games. They are all trash.
Fed up with it all. Added block-rules for the headers of the netflix page.
Now it's just a black empty background.
This is on you Netflix.

Last year, we bought a collection of 17 Georgia paintings by 19th- and 20th-century artists, many of whom are lesser known. Even the ones who are better known, like #NellChoateJones, aren't exactly _well_ known. We're excited to start studying these works and learning about the Georgia scenes many of them show.

Nell Choate Jones' painting "Square at St. Mary's," a color scene that shows a Black family in a southern square, next to a big tree. They could be in front of a church. Most of them are wearing white.
Augusta Oelschig's painting of a young Black boy in a gold frame. She shows him at bust length, looking slightly to his left. He wears a pale blue shirt with an open collar.
A watercolor painting of Savannah by Hattie Saussy. Seen from a park it shows several four- or five-story brick buildings across the way, partially blocked by greenery. The image is soft and pastel, more abstract in the foreground and more precise in the background.

Rational Censorship Attack: Breaking Blockchain with a Blackboard

Rational Censorship Attack: Breaking Blockchain with a Blackboard
Censorship resilience is a fundamental assumption underlying the security of blockchain protocols. Additionally, the analysis of blockchain security from an economic and game theoretic perspective has been growing in popularity in recent years. In this work, we present a surprising rational censorship attack on blockchain censorship resilience when we adopt the analysis of blockchain security from a game theoretic lens and assume all users are rational. In our attack, a colluding group with suf…

Narrator: Thomas tried to push the giant cat out of the way, but the kitty didn't move.

Video of a mostly white kitty with some black spots on its head laying an a Thomas the Tank Engine toy set. When the battery powered Thomas train makes it to the cat, it repeatedly bumps into the kitty blocking the way. All this does is make the cats head bob a little with each bump, which makes a toddler of screen laugh.
