Videographic: How do the Houthis recruit and enlist children in Yemen?
From ideological and sectarian indoctrination in schools to training camps and front lines, the Houthis employ various methods to lure and recruit children, in a flagrant violation of their rights that deprives thousands of young people of education and a safe childhood.
This report examines the methods used in recruitment and indoctrination, their psychological and neurological impact on children, and the struggles families face in supporting, caring for and rehabilitating them after their return from the front lines.
فيديوغراف: كيف يستقطب الحوثيون الأطفال ويجندونهم في اليمن؟
من التعبئة الفكرية والطائفية في المدارس إلى المعسكرات وجبهات القتال، تتعدد أساليب جماعة الحوثيين لاستقطاب الأطفال وتجنيدهم، في انتهاك صارخ لحقوقهم وحرمان آلاف الصغار من التعليم والحياة الآمنة.
تسلط هذه المادة الضوء على أساليب التجنيد والتعبئة، وآثارها النفسية والعصبية على الأطفال، ومعاناة أسرهم في احتوائهم ومساندتهم وإعادة تأهيلهم بعد عودتهم من الجبهات.

في عملية خاطفة وفاءً للشهداء.. مصرع وإصابة أكثر من 35 حوثياً وإعطاب طقم عسكري للمليشيات في جبهة الأقروض
نفذت قوات الجيش الوطني والمقاومة الشعبية، عملية إغارة نوعية وخاطفة استهدفت عددًا من المواقع والأوكار التي تتمركز فيها مليشيا الحوثي الإرهابية في جبهة الأقروض، مسفرة عن تكبيد المليشيا خسائر بشرية ومادية فادحة.
وشملت العملية الهجومية الدقيقة مواقع متفرقة في كلٍّ من جبل المنارة، كور، وادي كور، المقضى، والضبايا. وكحلان حيث تمكنت قواتنا الباسلة من مباغتة عناصر المليشيا وسط حالة من التخبط والانهيار في صفوفهم.
وأكدت مصادر ميدانية في المركز الإعلامي للجبهة أن العملية أسفرت عن مقتل وجرح أكثر من 35 عنصراً من مليشيا الحوثي، بالإضافة إلى إعطاب طقم عسكري تابع لهم وتدمير تحصينات تابعة للمليشيات في المواقع المستهدفة.
من جانبها، شددت قيادة جبهة الأقروض على أن هذه العملية النوعية تأتي رداً حاسماً، ووفاءً عهداً لدماء الشهداء الأبرار الذين ارقوا دماءهم ذوداً عن حياض الوطن والتصدي لمشروع الانقلاب الكهنوتي، مؤكدة في الوقت ذاته استمرار العمليات العسكرية بحزم وثبات حتى تحرير كامل التراب الوطني واستعادة مؤسسات الدولة.

To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.

Incredible video shows a Russian drone attempting to destroy a Ukrainian ground robot but being disabled when the robot deploys an anti drone net and catches it.
We literally have robots fighting each other on Ukraine’s frontline.

Israel's GovMaps has now removed this imagery from its map platform.

Here it is, in the full original resolution. The fidelity of aerial imagery really highlights the complete destruction.
Thanks to @SoarAtlas for hosting the imagery.

This shows the reality of Gaza in shocking resolution.
I've scraped and exported all the imagery, totalling around 2.5 billion pixels at 13cm resolution, for safe keeping, in case they decide to take this imagery offline.
If this happens, keep an eye out for access.
Noticed while on the "govmap" website (govmap.gov.il/?c=151360.08,6…) in the 2025 setting, a portion of the Northern Gaza strip has been uncensored, allowing us to see positions in high resolution.
I labelled 7 sites, where the IDF set up military outposts. Most which remain active.

astonishing blogpost from Shengyu Liu (刘胜与, also known as interestingLSY/intlsy), kernel engineer at DeepSeek. The first part is his personal struggle with the fact that his work is about to render his beloved craft obsolete. The second is…
well. let's just say we agree.

"The European Union has ordered a 24-hour delay in the release of some Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery following a request from the United States"
Well then.
"The decision also complicates recent efforts by European Earth observation companies to position Europe as a counterpoint to the U.S. by providing unrestricted access to satellite imagery."

This is some of the most insane war footage you will ever see. Iranian strike in Jordan.
If the guy videoing survived the strike, he’s a very lucky man.

In a hotel room in northeast Nigeria, I opened a leading AI chatbot, turned my laptop toward a former Boko Haram commander, and asked if he'd used it. He nodded.
"You type in the question… like 'How can I build a bomb?', and then it tells you how. It is like a human robot. We used it a lot."

A Langford Basilisk (from which Roko’s Basilisk was named) is an image that when seen caused a catastrophic failure in the human brain, killing you. I have debated with myself how plausible such a thing is
Turns out it's possible to generate videos that maximally excite an arbitrary brain region using a simple search-based algorithm. It's a fully computational approach, so it's another way to speculate what a brain region represents, alongside other neuroscientific methods.
Select an arbitrary brain region->algorithmically generate a video that jacks it up. See the visuals on the webpage nevo-project.epfl.ch/
