The world inches closer to catastrophic climate events

Italy's fragmented space industry is facing growing pressure to consolidate as defense and government customers increasingly favor larger suppliers capable of handling complex programs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/08/19/tech/europe-defense-italy-space-sector/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #europe #defense #satellites #space #italy #eu #russiaukrainewar #leonardo #qascom

TMNT with Jeremy Powers (Zenspath Entertainment Network)

Let’s talk about the year 2007, when Ubisoft looked at Konami’s TMNT license, going up for grabs after three straight beat-em-ups, and said “yeah, we’ll take it,” the video game equivalent of adopting somebody else’s very large, very established pet. They tied the whole thing to Imagi’s brand new fully CGI turtle movie and then, in an act of scheduling chaos I can only respect, shipped the game three entire days before the film hit theaters. Bold! Confusing! Possibly the result of someone losing a calendar!

And then, because apparently one platform was never going to cut it, Ubisoft just kept going. PlayStation 2! GameCube! Xbox 360! Wii! PC! A PlayStation 3 version that got paraded around at trade shows like a prize pony and then quietly put out to pasture, never to be seen again! And just when you think the roster’s full, Nintendo DS and PSP roll in with an entirely separate game wearing the same name tag, because why make one turtle game when you could make several turtle games and let the consumer sort it out. Also, bonus points to whoever in marketing decided the title needed zero subtitles, zero colons, zero numbers, just “TMNT,” like it’s the only one that’s ever existed. Confidence!

Climbing out of the sewer to help me survey this multi-console fever dream is Jeremy Powers, host and creator of the Zenspath Entertainment Network, a man who apparently collects retro hardware, works as an engineer, and still finds time to run a podcast, which is either elite time management or a full refusal to acknowledge the concept of a day off.

So track down whichever version of this thing actually ended up in your house back in 2007, because statistically there’s a good chance it wasn’t the same one as your neighbor’s, and let’s find out if TMNT earned its spot in the turtle hall of fame, or if it should’ve stayed a trade show prototype.

Learn such things as:

• Do we ever stop to think that maybe the people making these games knew what they were doing all along?
• Will we ever get that chance to see Splinter and Iroh together?
• How much retreading is acceptable when you’re the new guy making things?
• And so much more!

You can find Jeremy on YouTube @Zenspathcom and of course at the Zenspath Entertainment Network.

"At this point, there is no widely recognized legal argument that supports this sort of intrusiveness. While ALPRs get a pass because anyone can see cars and license plates when they’re traveling public roads and the Third Party Doctrine says nearly anything “willingly” handed over to third parties doesn’t require a warrant to obtain, this is something else completely.

There’s no law on the books or court precedent that says the government can, in effect, force devices carried by people in cars to turn this info over to the government just because the vehicle happened to pass a SignalTrace-powered camera.

This is tech that has no analogue in the public sphere. In other words, the general public doesn’t have access to tech that can obtain this info from other people’s devices. That was the argument used to excuse cops who used an iPhone’s night photography option to “see” through the tinted windows of a parked car. There’s also no “just a cop with a notebook and a pen” equivalent for this tech, which is what has been argued to route ALPRs around the Fourth Amendment.

Leonardo is setting up shop in the unsettled areas of the law. That’s not a great business model. Even if there’s initial interest from the government’s early adopters, securing sustained revenue streams would require the Constitution itself to be upended. I’m not saying it won’t happen. I’m just saying I wouldn’t bet my career on it."

Weekend reading: our two #Leonardo #ArtScience preprints, fresh of the press.

1. Co-Creation: Systems Thinking Beyond the Machine

https://zenodo.org/records/21416181

TL;DR: self-manufacture in living systems is *not* feedback; organisms are *not* cybernetic machines.

2. Galactic Brains, Zombie Apocalypse, and the Poiesis of an Ecology of Metamodern Myths

https://zenodo.org/records/21778707

TL;DR: we need a new ecology of mythopoiesis to go beyond the inadequate narratives about ourselves that we have at present.

This is nonsense. I know for certain that I have an ideal body, yet the span of my outstretched arms and my height differ by about 5%.
Leonardo was an idiot, or maybe the AI that posts this twattery.
