Noise Bombing: South Korean Village Under Psychological Attack from North Korea
Unsettling Sounds: The Noise Bombing of a South Korean Village On a recent night, residents of a quaint village near the North Korean border were engulfed by a cacophony of unsettling noises. The sounds, reminiscent of a colossal gong being struck repeatedly, reverberated through the air, leaving many feeling anxious and disoriented. On other occasions, some villagers likened the sounds to…

Why Duke Thomas Should Be A Dick Grayson Hater
Dick and Duke is such an underrated and underexplored relationship. Here is my pitch for why Duke should be a Dick Grayson hater.
1. The Rooftop Thing
Reason number one and the start of Duke's grudge should be the rooftop incident in Robin War. Dick, as part of his plan or whatever, leads Duke to a roof and abandons him to the cops.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LOOK AT DICK'S SMUG FACE. Tell me you wouldn't hold a grudge too if this was the FIRST major interaction you had with him?? Duke should use this against him at any possible opportunity.
2. ACAB
Tumblr media
From We Are Robin #2. Once Duke finds out Dick used to be a cop, it's OVER for him.
3. Jason and Damian
Duke is quite close with Jason and Damian (in my head, particularly Damian - that's his LITTLE BROTHER). Anyway, these two are obsessed with Dick. You have Jason, with his miles-long brother issues that puts Dick on a pedestal, and you have Damian, who thinks Dick is the best person on Earth who can do no wrong. They would talk Duke's ears off about him. Duke would HATE IT.
4. Robin
Tumblr media
This panel from Night of the Monster Men sums up quite nicely the difference in the way Dick and Duke approach vigilantism. Duke is the 'idealised' Robin, whose Robin-ing isn't contingent on Batman; Dick is more or less too tied up in Bruce. I think, because the Robin identity means a lot to Duke, having the original Robin be like this would irk Duke a LOT.
5. Tom Taylor
SPOILERS FOR CURRENT NIGHTWING RUN: in Nightwing #116, Dick gets framed for murder and Babs tells him to reveal he's Nightwing to clear him of suspicion. She says Bruce suggested it, and recounts everyone who agreed:
Tumblr media
Hm. Is someone missing here? Oh yeah: DUKE. TT probably just forgot Duke, but where's the fun in that? Instead, if Duke is a Dick Grayson hater, you have the funniest scene imaginable. Everyone gathered in the Batcave, laying down their identities for Dick, and Duke is like 'I don't give a damn. He can rot in jail.' and peaces out.
BONUS points if he does this to get back at Dick for reason number 1.
6. Parallels
Duke's origin deliberately mirrors Bruce's, but that means it mirrors Dick's as well. Duke and Dick parallels go insane: they both had loving families, lost both parents at once, were in the foster system (varyingly for Dick but for the purposes of this post I'm gonna include it), were wards/not adopted by Bruce initially, have a huge reverence for family, have a thing about heights, view Robin as separate from Batman, forged their own identities, etc.
Tell me this page doesn't slap:
Tumblr media
Anyway Duke would HATE this too. He'd be so annoyed that the person he has the most in common with is Dick, and that would fuel his Dick Grayson haterism.
Dick, on the other hand, has no hard feelings towards Duke. Duke would be glowering at him from the corner of the room and Dick would meet his gaze and be like 'ah Duke is so cute' and smile back. This would make Duke 10000x angrier.
Anyway that's my ideal Dick and Duke dynamic, feel free to add or modify or disagree with anything!!

⚠️ L'ESERCITO POPOLARE DI LIBERAZIONE HA DISPIEGATO CACCIA MULTIRUOLO E DRONI DA RICOGNIZIONE PRESSO BASI AEREE VICINO AL CONFINE CON L'INDIA ⚠️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🇨🇳|🇮🇳 Dopo lo "Scontro del 9 Dicembre" a Dáwàng Zhèn tra le Forze Armate dell'India e l'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione, è stato notato - tramite immagini satellitari - il dispiegamento di UAV ed Aerei dell'EPL negli Aeroporti e nelle Basi Aeree della Regina Autonoma del Tibet
✈️ Dall'11 dicembre, presso la Base Aerea di Shigatse, si possono notare:
➖ 10 Caccia Multiruolo J-16 - [FOTO 1]
➖ Almeno 1 Aereo da Sorveglianza e Controllo Aviotrasportato KJ-500 - [FOTO 1]
✈️ Alla Base Aerea di Bangda - che dista 150km dall'Arunachal Pradesh - si possono notare:
➖ 1 UAV da Ricognizione WZ-7 - [FOTO 2]
➖ 1 UAV da Ricognizione e da Combattimento CH-4B - [FOTO 3]
➖ 2 Caccia Multiruolo J-16 [FOTO 4]
🐲 La messa in servizio del WZ-7 e del CH-4B - nonché il loro uso operativo - indicano che è stato creato con successo un ambiente perfettamente funzionante per supportare missioni speciali nella Regione dell'Aksai Chin 🔥
💭 Tali immagini dalla Base Aerea di Bangda sono apparse il giorno prima delle esercitazioni dell'Aeronautica Indiana al confine con la Cina, ciò significa che il Partito Comunista Cinese - tramite le sue Agenzie di Intelligence - era a conoscenza dei piani dell'India, e si è dunque - intelligentemente - preparato in anticipo per seguire le tattiche dell'Aeronautica Indiana, osservando e studiando i movimenti dell'India per effettuare operazioni di contrasto nell'ambito di un conflitto ⚔️
🇨🇳 Ciò significa che l'infrastruttura militare creata negli ultimi mesi - aeroporti, eliporti, sistemi di difesa area, linee di comunicazione - ha permesso e permetterà all'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione di dispiegare rapidamente forze e mezzi qualora la situazione con l'India si aggravasse.

⚠️ THE PEOPLE'S LIBERATION ARMY DEPLOYED MULTI-ROLE FIGHTERS AND SCAN DRONES AT AIR BASES NEAR THE INDIA BORDER ⚠️
🇨🇳|🇮🇳 After the "December 9th Clash" in Dáwàng Zhèn between the Armed Forces of India and the People's Liberation Army, it was noted - via satellite images - the deployment of PLA UAVs and Aircraft at the Airports and in the Tibet Autonomous Queen Air Bases
✈️ Since December 11, at Shigatse Air Base, you can see:
➖ 10 J-16 Multirole Fighters - [PHOTO 1]
➖ At ​​least 1 Airborne Surveillance and Control Aircraft KJ-500 - [PHOTO 1]
✈️ At the Bangda Air Base - which is 150km away from Arunachal Pradesh - you can see:
➖ 1 WZ-7 Reconnaissance UAV - [PHOTO 2]
➖ 1 CH-4B Reconnaissance and Combat UAV - [PHOTO 3]
➖ 2 J-16 Multirole Fighter [PHOTO 4]
🐲 The commissioning of the WZ-7 and CH-4B - as well as their operational use - indicate that a fully functional environment has been successfully created to support special missions in the Aksai Chin Region 🔥
💭 Such images from Bangda Air Base appeared the day before the Indian Air Force exercises on the border with China, this means that the Communist Party of China - through its Intelligence Agencies - was aware of India's plans, and he therefore - intelligently - prepared in advance to follow the tactics of the Indian Air Force, observing and studying India's movements to carry out contrast operations in the context of a conflict ⚔️
🇨🇳 This means that the military infrastructure created in recent months - airports, heliports, air defense systems, communication lines - has allowed and will allow the People's Liberation Army to rapidly deploy forces and means should the situation with India got worse.

you nod to everything of smooching nothing not even cosmic staircase
talkative outfit of blessed blooming day
st thomas hoists your brother from dead
that was then now cornfields are holy war blindfolds
take in that other force dilute yourself
resistance is only when you mountain
resistance is only flightless flight people meet at wagah border every year
naan with beef kebabs fancy some
most sacred passions lay university aflame 
black snow and your hermetic lips 
a christmas loneliness haunts dum conderet urbem after coal mines
all apostles live in that magenta tower
croon disused airport speeches et al
during riots thigh bruises of an ordinary kind claque foists authority
tell me there are utopias in expiry stars 
auctioned to narcose highest bidders
paid in emotion bubbles that spurn to ever pop like moi

Escalating Attacks on U.N. Peacekeepers in Lebanon Amid Heightened Tensions
Escalating Tensions: U.N. Peacekeepers in Lebanon Under Siege The United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, has recently come under a series of targeted attacks by the Israeli military. Despite mounting pressure from Israel to withdraw, UNIFIL remains steadfast in its commitment to maintain its positions along the Lebanon-Israel border. This assertion was made by Andrea…

What a difference in the two interviews - Duchovny's in 1997 and Anderson's in 1998.
Duchovny was super arrogant and pretentious, thinking he was the King of Cocada Preta, trying to pass himself off as an intellectual, bored with fame. Winona Ryder never came out to David because she was much more famous at the time.. Thankfully, in the years that followed, he had to tone it down. Less Duchovny, much less…
Anderson, on the other hand, looked like a working mother, working non-stop to support her daughter, zero glamor, a bit depressed, like a middle-aged woman broken by life.
And in none of the interviews did the geniuses who interviewed them talk about Mulder and Scully, who were the soul of the show.
I'm slowly working on a progress-through-Season-8-based-on-the-burnt-out-interviews post, so this was timely. :DD
To be fair, David was suffering. Both of them were. The X-Files was simply a job to DD and GA; and they coped with its insane hours and insane stresses differently. For Gillian, she internally imploded: eating disorders, panic attacks, anxiety so bad she wouldn't wish it on her worst enemy. She was afraid to put a foot wrong because she'd gotten pregnant so early on and could have threatened the longevity of the show; but she kept putting a foot wrong due to a shoot-from-the-hip personality. Then she was a divorced co-parent trying to do everything herself. David, meanwhile, didn't have that stress; but instead of marrying quick to escape the unbearable loneliness (like Gillian did), he tried to escape by getting outward attention... or through porn, joking in Playboy that his favorite pornstar had gotten him through some very, very lonely days. He also outsourced constantly, making connections with other entertainers and etc. to try to establish himself in Hollywood away from the show. Part of that persona-- that he had everything together and was living the dream-- was part and parcel of selling himself to the business for, in turn, more work.
Secondly, DD WAS arrogant. It wasn't until AA that he learned gratitude, per his own words. Until that time, he'd overachieved into such heights of success that he, naturally, developed an ego. But that wasn't enough-- it never is-- and he kept devising other ways to get attention. Per his old interviews, he described being 'shocking' or 'funny' or etc. as a way to keep others' eyes (and attention) on himself. He always feared they'd lose interest in him and walk away, otherwise (still does.)
That mindset, he's stated here and there, was a result of habits he'd formed in his childhood-- the middle child caught in a turbulent divorce: father suddenly gone, mother heartbroken, and older brother and younger sister taking sides. He had to become intermediary for his siblings and shoulder-to-lean-on for his mother. He became his mother's pride and joy: a shy kid who thought he wasn't a looker when he was younger, who transferred to a better school on a scholarship, who was "captain of the basketball team and the baseball team and a straight-A student, and I was in my last year of high school, and I'd applied to four schools–Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Brown–and I got into all of them." Who was, in short, an over-achiever; and became arrogant because he achieved everything through his own efforts. But he was also a kid who fainted in senior year, breaking his front teeth, because the stress was too much.
And he was also a man who spent long hours overworked on a show he wasn't particularly passionate about. One who spent long, isolated hours alone (in the bathtub) in Vancouver when not working. And one who always had to be "on" when he was out with his friends or spotted by people on the street. Further, no one wanted (wants) to hear the rich and successful complain about the hardships of their success. So, he turned on the charm for attention, instead; and resented having to "sell himself" for people to care about his work. And his performance, on and off screen, earned him fifteen years of public backpatting and"Fox Mulder"ing everywhere he went.
He didn't deal with the stress perfectly, and created his own problems that had to be worked through later on. But Gillian did, as well (per her own words); and they've both owned up to their mistakes and have, seemingly, moved on from the past.
Lastly, there are other interviews where his truer self comes through: those are sadder, pre-marriage; or more stable and happy, post-marriage. Gillian had happy interviews, too; but her life was much more accelerated than his (marriage, pregnancy, divorce on close heels), and thus sounded more burnt out than he was.
I don't like to pit or compare faults because I'm sure they both handled global fame and nonstop work better than a lot of people would have (David was rock-bottom depressed and Gillian was afraid she'd quite literally go insane; but they made it.) And there are always interviews where he looks like a cherub and she a hag, or he an arrogant scumbag and she a hard-done-by saint. Neither were either.
About the Winona Ryder speculation:
Even in interviews from the early days, DD kept personal details close to the chest, not referring to romantic partners as "my girlfriend" unless his significant other had an established public persona (or an upcoming project.) The person he spoke the most about was Tea-- and that was after their marriage, and only during interviews to promote their next tv series or movie. Tea was a talker, and she didn't mind when he talked about her; so, she rubbed off on David for a good chunk of their relationship-- even after the rehab stint-- until their divorce. (Now, she's taken a vow of silence and enforces it strictly with Tim Daly, as stated by both.)
I'm not up-to-date on Winona, but I'm sure the relationship wasn't serious enough for either to really acknowledge it. She looked happy in their picture together; and I don't think she's the type to deny a relationship because it might not be advantageous to her "brand." But what do I know? XDD
Those are my thoughts, anyway~ :DDD

As the dust settles on the Indian/chinise border conflict,its imperative to aks ourselves what are Indians plans and why is It trying to put pressure on China border now in this historically important moment for the BRIKS?
The post is machine translated
Translation is at the bottom

⚠️ INDIA, CHE STAI FACENDO? IL RAPPORTO INDO-STATUNITENSE IN FUNZIONE ANTI-CINESE ⚠️
🇷🇺 Il 7 dicembre, Sergej Viktorovič Lavrov - Ministro degli Affari Esteri della Federazione Russa - rilasciò alcune dichiarazioni sulla NATO, affermando che l'Alleanza Atlantica - come nuova strategia nella Regione Indo-Pacifica - stava tentando di mettere l'India contro la Cina, facendo leva sui sentimenti anti-cinesi presenti nella Repubblica dell'India per dare inizio ad una serie di scontri con la Repubblica Popolare Cinese:
💬 "Al Vertice NATO di Madrid, nel giugno di quest'anno, sono stati proclamati nuovi approcci: la responsabilità della NATO ora si estende alla Regione Indo-Pacifica, per tentare di mettere l'India contro la Cina" - 📄 Fonte.
🇨🇳 Non a caso, China Daily, qualche settimana fa, aveva pubblicato un articolo in cui definiva la NATO un relitto della Guerra Fredda, un'alleanza senza cervello che aveva puntato i suoi occhi sull'Indo-Pacifico, nonché il reale istigatore del Conflitto Russo-Ucraino, raccontato giornalmente dal Comitato per il Donbass Antinazista, Clara Statello e War Room 🇷🇺|🇺🇦
🇨🇳|🇮🇳 Oggi, 12 dicembre, si sono verificati degli scontri nella zona dell'Arunachal Pradesh tra le Forze Armate dell'India e l'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione. Come riportato dal Comando delle Forze Indiane, e da The Hindu, vi sarebbero diversi feriti, ma nessun morto.
🇨🇳|🇮🇳 In ogni caso, entrambe le parti - dopo lo scontro - hanno disimpegnato l'area. Inoltre, in seguito all'incidente, i Comandanti dell'Area delle due Fazioni hanno tenuto una riunione con la controparte per discutere la questione secondo meccanismi strutturati per ripristinare la pace e la tranquillità.
❇️ Piccola curiosità, nel 1962 ci furono scontri nella medesima zona, definita "中印边境自卫反击战", ovvero "Contrattacco di Autodifesa della Cina al Confine Sino-Indiano", che si concluse con una netta vittoria dell'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione ⭐️
🇨🇳|💥|🇮🇳 Il 28 settembre, le Forze Armate dell'India - in totale violazione del consenso raggiunto dopo numerosi negoziati di alto livello con l'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione - schierarono Obici Semoventi, Sistemi MLRS e di Artiglieria al confine con la Cina (❗️)
🇮🇳 Il 29 agosto, soldati delle Forze Armate dell'India condussero un'esercitazione militare nel Territorio Conteso del Ladakh, in funzione anti-cinese, schierando T-90 e K-9 VAJRA (❗️)
🇺🇸|🇯🇵|🇦🇺|🇮🇳 A giugno, i Leader di USA, Giappone, Australia e India si incontrarono in Giappone, dove Elbridge Colby - Ex Funzionario del Pentagono - affermò che l'India doveva rafforzare la sua posizione nell'Asia Meridionale, in funzione anti-cinese (❗️)
🇺🇸|🇮🇳 Ad agosto, l'Ammiraglio Statunitense Mike Gilday affermò che l'India era un partner importante per gli USA, in quanto potrebbe svolgere un ruolo chiave nella lotta alla Cina (❗️)
🇮🇳|🇺🇸 Sempre ad agosto, il Governo Indiano negoziò l'acquisto di 30 UAV da Attacco MQ-9B Predator dagli USA (❗️)

⚠️ INDIA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THE INDO-US REPORT IN ANTI-CHINESE FUNCTION ⚠️
🇷🇺 On December 7, Sergej Viktorovich Lavrov - Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation - released some statements on NATO, stating that the Atlantic Alliance - as a new strategy in the Indo-Pacific Region - was trying to pit India against China , leveraging anti-Chinese sentiments in the Republic of India to initiate a series of clashes with the People's Republic of China:
💬 "New approaches were proclaimed at the NATO Summit in Madrid in June this year: NATO's responsibility now extends to the Indo-Pacific Region, to try to pit India against China" - 📄 Source.
🇨🇳 Not surprisingly, China Daily, a few weeks ago, published an article in which it called NATO a relic of the Cold War, a mindless alliance that had set its sights on the Indo-Pacific, as well as the real instigator of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
🇨🇳|🇮🇳 Today, December 12, there were clashes in the Arunachal Pradesh area between the Armed Forces of India and the People's Liberation Army. As reported by the Indian Forces Command, and by The Hindu, there are several injured, but no dead.
🇨🇳|🇮🇳 In any case, both sides - after the clash - cleared the area. In addition, following the incident, the Area Commanders of the two Factions held a meeting with the other side to discuss the issue according to structured mechanisms to restore peace and tranquility.
❇️ Small curiosity, in 1962 there were clashes in the same area, defined as "中印边境自卫反击战", or "China's Self-Defense Counterattack on the Sino-Indian Border", which ended with a clear victory for the People's Liberation Army ⭐️
🇨🇳|💥|🇮🇳 On 28 September, the Armed Forces of India - in complete violation of the consensus reached after several high level negotiations with the People's Liberation Army - deployed Self Propelled Howitzers, MLRS and Artillery Systems on the border with China (❗️)
🇬🇧 On August 29, soldiers of the Armed Forces of India conducted a military exercise in the disputed territory of Ladakh, in an anti-Chinese function, deploying T-90 and K-9 VAJRA (❗️)
🇺🇸|🇯🇵|🇦🇺|🇮🇳 In June, the leaders of the USA, Japan, Australia and India met in Japan, where Elbridge Colby - Former Pentagon official - said that India needed to strengthen its position in the South Asia, in an anti-Chinese function (❗️)
🇺🇸|🇮🇳 In August, US Admiral Mike Gilday said that India was an important partner for the US, as it could play a key role in fighting China (❗️)
🇮🇳|🇺🇸 Also in August, the Indian Government negotiated the purchase of 30 MQ-9B Predator Attack UAVs from the USA (❗️)

New chapter of my Ghost/König fic should be up now. (Read on ao3)
this was so fun to draw, especially considering I looked like the Pepe silvia meme while storyboarding the fic;
