NEW: Belorussian hackers have targeted foreign diplomats in the country since Feb. 2022, at the start of the invasion of Ukraine.

Group targets them by intercepting traffic at the telecom provider level, suggesting government collaboration, per ESET.

Once ESET researchers spotted the hackers in 2022, they have been able to trace back their activities all the way back to 2014.

A supreme court justice should lead by example and should prevent any hint of being compromised. Clarence Thomas is the opposite of all that.

At least 38 destination vacations, including a previously unreported voyage on a yacht around the Bahamas; 26 private jet flights, plus an additional eight by helicopter; a dozen VIP passes to professional and college sporting events, typically perched in the skybox; two stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica; and one standing invitation to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic coast."

• Viewmaster slide. Bert, from Sesame Street, (a muppet) pokes his head around a door holding a basket with a (real) kitten in it. (remote)
• Bert stands holding the kitten in the basket. Ernie faces it, holding out his rubber ducky towards it. They're in their living room, with a framed photo of the two of them on the wall. (remote)
• Ernie sits on the kitchen floor with a box of cat food beside him. The kitten sits between his legs sipping milk from a dish. (remote)
• Bert sits in an armchair, knitting, as Ernie sits and plays with the kitten on the living room floor. The kitten has a ball of green yarn. (remote)

"We can also praise LK-99 from the point of view of public pedagogy. It served to massively advance public awareness of the importance of materials science in everyday life. In the public mind, it affirmed replication as a fundamental building block of scientific validity. It highlighted the idea of science as accessible and belonging to the public, rather than the exclusive province of a scholarly high priesthood."

I tried out Spirit Hunter: Death Mark and it's ok so far. It's a low-animation, very text-focused adventure game, a bit like Uninvited but much more forgiving. There are some timed parts, but they're brief and limited to a few key moments.

There are some really nice illustrations, but the text hasn't given me enough context/detail to really create that much of a creepy atmosphere.
