The Iran war is the 1st big one in a time when most content is AI generated & there are no reporters in the field.  Most of the coverage is generated imagery or real footage from past wars being recycled.  There's no manestream media coverage. Another missing bit is the lack of any footage of damage.

After the flood of AI generated clickbait of explosions that never happened came the familiar refrane of weapons of mass destruction.  At least it seemed more plausible this time, since Iran's nuclear reactor development was previously in the news for years.

This time, there was no buildup or announcement of a case like there was in 2001.  The only buildup was somewhat of another Iranian revolution taking shape, but not likely to last.

 



 Things weren't going so well for any digital nomads still in Dubai as it was getting destroyed by the counter attacks.  There were stories about foreigners trapped & spending everything they had to get out, but no real images.

Iran had a significant insurgent drone military after the head was cut off.  It was the 1st time an enemy was able to cripple US after the 1st strike.  They might have also had Chinese reinforcements.

 


 

The mane evidence that this one was generated was all the junk on the roofs, but it does match some of the skyline in Tel Aviv.  Wouldn't know what Iran was aiming at.  The packed towers resemble all the new houses being built in Calif*.  They're all 3 story towers.  Lions couldn't rationally burn $1M on those, just for the chance of getting rich.

 Surprised Iran was able to shut down all transport through the straight of Hormuz.  The improvised drone is the IED of the 2020's.  The internet says US is defenseless against the ID because it's based on destroying the head.  The problem is the improvised drones have no head.

 The situation with double digit gas & the forever war is the next chapter of 1976 repeating.  

 

 

Uncle Jay is printing like mad to pay for the war. They're hoping for a quick end so inflation can be suppressed in the long term average, kept down to a 1 time event.

With nothing planned until 2027, lions took another stab at the NY marathon.  There was only a 1 in 1000 chance of getting in.  2027 is Utah again.  2028 is probably LA.  Undecided about how much to train.  A weekly marathon didn't make lions any faster.

    It was time to take on the lion kingdom's 1st 1 star movie. It honestly wasn't as bad as the Dictator, Bedazzled, Monty Python.  Most of the hate was from comparing it to the classic.  Visuals were good for animals who are into castles.  Wonder Heroine as the villain was a good twist.  It was bat shit boring.  Tedious jobs like dialog writing are all automated now & that's definitely not as bad as other movies.  Automated 3D model generation has made modern visuals very lavish.  If only that level of detail could be done in realtime for VR goggles.    Zegler was back from her previous engagement in district 12.   The mane redeeming factor for lions was evil Wonder Heroine.     & finally the Joan of Arc scene everyone hated.    & the ending just fizzled.  It seems they're trying to depart from the physicality of past heroine warriors & make them more like housewives.  It's h...

 Finally tracked down the Sun bootloader font from many decades ago & put it in Cinelerra as gallant12x22.  Put Sun Gallant Demi into the goog to get useful results. https://github.com/dim13/gallant/tree/master/ttf   It's a fixed point font in an archaic format.  Some guy converted it into a TTF with a lot of antialiasing.  He has a PNG image showing no antialiasing.  It has to be set to size 22 & requires a threshold to get rid of the antialiasing.  Freetype might be shifting it 1/2 pixel vertically. It had a kind of curiosity value, but lions have had no need for any fixed point fonts besides the 24pt Sony of CAEDM fame. Another hit said it was 1 of the fonts available in kernel framebuffer mode.  Lions haven't used kernel framebuffer mode in decades.  It could possibly replace 24pt Sony if lions wrote a fixed point converter. As for the other Sun lore, there's some potato cam footage of the Sun flight simulator, Aviator.  You ...

 https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/as-the-average-retirement-age-continues-to-rise-will-passive-income-be-the-solution-162047139.html Cutting through another load of AI filler, Boston College & Grok say the retirement age is rising yet all the gootube commenters say the retirement age is falling.  Always bad news from organized media.  Always good news from the internet demographic.  Suspect the internet is still manely the geeks, technology professionals, high earners with the means to be online most hours.  So the stonk market melted up when the government shut down & crashed when the government reopened.  Only the government can make the stonk market crash. It wasn't government pension funds but government borrowing. --------------------------------------------------    https://growmane.blogspot.com/2025/02/s-bear-market-being-what-it-is-apple.html Then lions realized the natural spoken language interfaces ...
