So disappointing. I admired what this director has done previously, and this 40 second “trailer” is almost unwatchable. Not a single character is there; there is no there there.

NIGHTBORNE is the first full test AI film I have made. It was made using Seedance 2.0. I've been experimenting with AI for a couple of years, and it's now at the point where I want to tackle a full feature in this format. This is a 13-minute test start. It was made with real concept artists, and features the faces and voices of 32 real people. Barley Studios will be my new AI studio for creating my own films, the way Oats Studios was for traditional film and VFX. @Barleystudiosai Full film…

After missing three #sunsets in #Bochum, here is today's - with THREE #sunspot groups on the disk now: top left to bottom right they are 4492, 4493 (which grew rapidly; see https://nitter.net/Bermani22/status/2079227596554809584) and 4489. Watch the last two disappear in later timesteps in https://bsky.app/profile/cosmos4u.bsky.social/post/3mr45ljgazc2e (where 4493 is misidentifed - because of https://spaceweather.com/images2026/20jul26/hmi1898.gif - as 4491).

Territorial jurisdiction can also be used to charge foreigners from non-member states with aiding and abetting crimes in a state where the ICC has jurisdiction. For example, the court might charge... US officials (Trump’s real concern) with aiding and abetting Israel’s genocide in Gaza by supplying arms and military aid.

Infrastructure that civilians rely on for survival is not generally considered a legitimate military target,
and striking it could be considered a war crime.
But the attacks on water resources are especially concerning in the Gulf region:
Most nations there lack widespread access to fresh water and rely heavily on hundreds of desalination plants -- complex operations where repairs can be difficult and time-consuming.
Desalination plants produce 90 percent of Kuwait’s…

Water Plants Under Fire in the Gulf Are Crucial to Civilians
Several days of airstrikes have hit water and energy plants in Kuwait, a nation that relies on desalination for 90 percent of its drinking water.

We expected rain (but no ⚡⛈️).
So we got our jackets, did our errands with our little bike trailer - and were lucky because it didn't even rain 💪
✅ Saved fuel again
✅ Physical activity
✅ Faster way to detach from work
✅ Saw a couple of cats
Totally recommended!

The natural gas price for the EU is up sharply now the Trump-Netanyahu war escalates again. Close to €60/MWh now; that's 100% compared to the price before the war vs 'only' 50% for oil (Brent).
Not a good combination with sluggishly filling up our gas storages. I guess we'll notice in winter.
