Five years ago, the West risked a
full-blown diplomatic crisis with NATO ally Turkey
when 10 ambassadors called for the release of a man they saw as a political prisoner,
prompting an angry President Tayyip Erdogan to order their expulsion.
After two frantic days in 2021,
the sides stepped back from the brink with the U.S., ‌French, German, Canadian and other envoys issuing conciliatory statements
and Erdogan saying they would be more careful in the future…

Heading into Edinburgh for some hot Fringe action.

Me, standing on the platform at Berwick, not looking happy about it even though I'm quite cheerful inside. I guess this is just my face now.

Zurbaršn was definitely a bit bonkers. Genius, sure, but woa, some of the symbolism is out there! The cherub heads with wings are a recurring theme, hovering with holy payloads. Check out the alt text for all the details.

Saint Margaret of Antioch Francisco de Zurbarán about 1630-4 The story of Saint Margaret tells how she emerged unscathed after being swallowed by a dragon. Zurbarán depicts the unruffled saint in luxurious shepherd's dress, with a carefully drawn fabric saddlebag sling over her arm, and the dragon in the shadows, subdued behind her. Her expression says "yeah what about it?"
The Immaculate Conception Francisco de Zurbarán 1632 Mary appears standing on five cherubim (round heads with wings, no more!) occupying a half moon. She is wearing a necklace with the anagram A(ve) M(aria), while a host of stars and angels emerge from the clouds in the halo around her head. Two young students pray on either side below her.
The Vision of Saint Alonso Rodríguez Francisco de Zurbarán 1630 Alonso Rodríguez was an early proponent of venerating the hearts of Christ and the Virgin Mary - seen here emitting rays of light that zap the poor saint right in the chest. He looks upwards, surprised and enraptured. Of course, Jesus and Mary are hovering on little islands of cherub heads with wings, as if the rest of the painting were not bonkers enough.

No one, it seems, knows why cyberattackers would target Suisun City,
a sleepy, marsh-front suburb of 29,000 people on the northeast outskirts of the San Francisco Bay Area.
But target it, they did,
with crippling effects.
Whoever they are.
Before sunrise on Aug. 7,
the city’s information technology network was infected by malicious software that hit critical public safety operations,
including police and fire dispatch and critical records, officials …

Small California city baffled by cyberattack that crippled city hall
A severe cyberattack paralyzed Suisun City Hall and emergency dispatch, sparking local suspicion and law enforcement interest in the small California town.

RE: mastodon.social/@CyReVolt/1167
So there are those mixed reactions.
This is a great overall view, summarizing actual issues instead of being hyperbolic or overly optimistic:
