#Thargoids, a powerful invasive species in #EliteDangerous, were added way back in 2017.
These huge space beasts are as end-game as content can get.
They raged a year-long offence in 2024, ending their assault with an attack on the SOL system in December.
The strict focus on Thargoid warfare by the game designers exhausted quite a few players, but also made more powerful weapons available in-game, lowering participation threshold for those willing to join the battle. -

-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Does romantic rejection hurt more than platonic rejection? A new study says no
Most people assume that rejection by a potential romantic partner is far more painful than rejection by a prospective friend. However, new research published in the European Journal of Social Psychology suggests that, when rejection is actually experienced, the emotional impact is remarkably similar regardless of whether it comes from a romantic or a platonic source.
Romantic rejection is often seen as uniquely devastating, in part because modern societies place heavy emotional expectations on romantic relationships. However, researchers have long noted that humans are broadly motivated by a fundamental need for belonging. Social rejection tends to hurt across all contexts because it threatens shared psychological needs, such as feeling valued, in control, and meaningful.
What has been less clear is whether rejection by a potential romantic partner is more painful than rejection in a friendship context. Given the intense expectations placed on romantic relationships—which are often expected to fulfill a wide range of emotional and personal needs—it has seemed plausible that being denied such a relationship would be especially distressing.
To examine these assumptions, researchers conducted three related studies. In the first, 1,500 American adults were asked which type of rejection they believed would be more painful: being turned down by a potential romantic partner or by a potential friend. The responses largely reflected common intuitions: approximately half expected romantic rejection to be worse, compared with roughly a quarter who anticipated greater pain from platonic rejection, while the remaining participants believed both would be equally distressing.
Led by Natasha R. Wood of Leiden University in the Netherlands, the team then tested real‑time responses to rejection in a controlled experimental setting. In Study 2, 934 single adults aged 18 to 29 (57.9% women; average age 23.4) were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: accepted or rejected by either a potential romantic partner or a potential platonic friend.
Participants engaged with a simulated app environment, designed to resemble dating or social networking platforms, and received either positive or negative feedback from profiles purportedly representing other users. Afterward, they reported how they felt across a range of measures capturing their sense of belonging, self-worth, and emotional wellbeing.
The researchers found that rejection reliably reduced wellbeing, and acceptance reliably enhanced it, but the type of relationship framing—romantic versus platonic—had no effect on emotional outcomes. The team also tested whether feelings of romantic instrumentality (seeing a partner as someone who would help you achieve more of your goals in life) or self-blame might explain any romantic-versus-platonic difference in pain. Neither emerged as a meaningful driver.
In a third study involving 477 participants (73.6% women; average age 20.3), predicted emotional reactions were compared with actual emotional experiences. The researchers also added a “stranger control” group, in which participants were told there was no expectation of forming a relationship of any kind.
Participants were asked to forecast how they would feel before receiving feedback, then report how they felt afterward. Once again, relationship type did not meaningfully influence emotional responses; rejection by a stranger hurt just as much as rejection by a potential date. Furthermore, participants consistently overestimated the intensity of both outcomes, particularly the pain of rejection.
Wood and colleagues put it simply: “It seems the experience of being accepted is so positive and the experience of being rejected is so negative that it does not matter who is doing so.”
There are, however, important caveats to keep in mind. For example, the study was conducted exclusively with American participants, which limits how far the findings can be generalised across different cultures where romantic and platonic relationships may be valued differently. Furthermore, the simulated app environment may not perfectly capture the intense emotions of an in-person rejection.
The study, “What Could Have Been: Predicted and Actual Exclusion by Potential Romantic Partners and Platonic Friends,” was authored by Natasha R. Wood, Sydney G. Wicks, Adam J. Beam, Elijah P. Mudryk, Ellie Bray, and Andrew H. Hales.

Report: Even after the war ended [*], the academic boycott of Israel is intensifying
Israel's "Task Force for Combating the Academic Boycott of the Association of University Heads" warns in a report published today that the academic boycott of Israel could lead it into dangerous scientific isolation.
According to the VERA (Association of University Heads) report published today (May 14, 2026), Israel's academic boycott is accelerating, not slowing.
#Belgium, #Netherlands, #UK, #Spain, and Italy lead the boycott activity. Germany and Italy have so far blocked EU-level sanctions on Israel, but the pressure at the institutional level keeps building regardless of what governments do.
Horizon Europe "the crown jewel" is slipping. Attempts to exclude Israel from the EU's €95.5B research program surged 150% in the last six months. Israel's participation has already halved - from €303M in grants (2022) to €119M (2025). The next Horizon agreements are up for renewal in 2027-2028, and the EU is openly questioning whether Israel shares the "values" required to stay in.
The "ceasefire" changed nothing. The assumption that stopping the bombing of Gaza would reverse the boycott was wrong. The boycott movement "quickly adjusted" - citing the war on Iran, operations in Lebanon, settlement expansion in the West Bank, the death penalty bill for Palestinians, and Knesset members openly endorsing violence against Palestinians.
It's not just symbolic. 1,120 boycott incidents recorded. 41% involved suspension of active research cooperation. 29% involved physical disruption of lectures and conferences. 9% involved damage to research grants. Individual researcher boycotts (57% of cases in 2024-25) are now shifting to institutional and professional association level boycotts - a structural escalation.
Israel's identification with the US under Trump is compounding the damage. European resentment of Trump's foreign policy (tariffs, NATO hostility, Venezuela/Iran adventurism) spills onto Israel, which is seen as Washington's fully aligned proxy. The EU is asking whether shared values still exist.
#BDS is "working as designed." The BDS movement explicitly states its academic boycott campaign has "pushed Israel to the margins" of Horizon Europe. The report concedes there's "no substitute" for Horizon - Asian partnerships can't replace it. Israel faces irreversible scientific isolation.
[...] VERA warns that scientific research in Israel depends on Israeli researchers' connections with colleagues abroad. Participation in the Horizon program provides not only an irreplaceable boost of valuable funding, but also allows Israeli researchers to form research partnerships, interact with researchers from European and non-European countries, and influence the continent's scientific-academic agenda from within.
41% - Suspension of Cooperation: This is the most common type of incident. It refers to the explicit and tangible severance of research partnerships and collaborations.
29% - Disruption of Lectures & Conferences: The second-largest category, this involves public actions aimed at preventing Israeli academics from speaking or participating in academic events.
9% - Damage to Grants: Direct harm to the funding of Israeli research projects.
9% - "Antisemitic" Comments: Incidents involving explicitly antisemitic rhetoric.
7% - Difficulty in Publications: Obstacles faced by Israeli academics in getting their work published in academic journals.
5% - Peer Review: Refusal by international academics to peer-review research submitted by their Israeli colleagues.

Skull and Bones Year 3 is a major rework, and I like it. The new Galleon ship is great fun, and the added difficulty tiers are about right.
The Seasonal Skill Tree is great too. Some -major- upgrades on that system and it really lets you tweak it to your own playstyle, with free resets allowing experimentation.
Lots of past players returning now, and still on sale for peanuts on Ubisoft Connect.

Fediverse & P2P
Nomadic identity is a nice feature, but FEP-ef61: Portable Objects is not limited to that. The intention was always to allow peer to peer communication without servers. This is why the protocol was designed to be transport-agnostic: you can use fediverse servers to deliver activities, but you can also use emails, torrents or USB sticks.
To explore these possibilities, I added a simple P2P synchronization mode to Mitra Mini, which allows clients to exchange activities via a shared directory. This doesn't mean that clients should run on the same machine. Syncthing is a tool for P2P file synchronization that can be used to share a directory between multiple machines, and it should work well for our use case.
The P2P mode is available in Mitra Mini v0.4.0. You can use a pre-compiled binary, which is now self-contained and includes the mitra-web frontend. See installation instructions in the readme. To enable P2P mode, add the following block to your configuration file:
[federation] p2p_shared_outbox = "/path/to/shared/directory"Registering on a web gateway is not necessary when working in P2P mode, but you need to specify it in the config, because a lot of legacy code still depends on that.
If you'd like to connect, DM me your Syncthing device ID (it can be used in a Whonix VM to prevent IP address leaks).

The P2P mode is available in Mitra Mini v0.4.0. You can use a pre-compiled binary, which is now self-contained and includes the mitra-web frontend. See installation instructions in the readme. To enable P2P mode, add the following block to your configuration file:
[federation] p2p_shared_outbox = "/path/to/shared/directory"Registering on a web gateway is not necessary when working in P2P mode, but you need to specify it in the config, because a lot of legacy code still depends on that.
If you'd like to connect, DM me your Syncthing device ID (it can be used in a Whonix VM to prevent IP address leaks).

“Work in progress”
Fitting lights to a Metcalfe barn kit. Made slightly trickier because the barn had a floor.
Wiring for the lights will run to the front corner of the building where they will terminate on a small piece of perfboard holding the resistors that allow 12v to be used. The 12V cable will run down and out of the bottom and be very short, just enough to bend over and slot into a gap cut into the foam base that the barn will sit on. There’s a second building yet to be added to this structure.
More pics to follow this evening.
