[a-bad-case-of-the-stephs]

Oh and @duskdog thank you for ur fantastic tags on my other post it got me thinking about Bruce’s uniquely fucked up relationship with Tim and Stephanie, and Tim and Steph’s twin roles they play with how they vie for approval, and how Steph’s firing sort of starts setting up the stakes for her later actions, and I feel like a lot of those ideas actually start to come up in Robin #120. So I’m going to just ramble abt that now I guess.

Like, for one, we’re directed in multiple ways to compare Robin #120 and Steph’s firing in Gotham Knights #37.

Both Tim and Steph tell batman to “go to hell” in an almost identical speech bubble, the last thing Tim says while comforting Steph is “I know”, the exact same line Steph says last when she comforts Tim, and of course the fact that Steph herself brings up the similarity in situation directly.

Tim backstabs Steph for Bruce’s approval all the while asserting independence in Robin 106, and I feel like Robin #120 is almost a showcase of how his failure to follow through on his claims of independence bites him in the ass. (Maybe a little irony there. Maybe a little karma perhaps)

Tim does the same assertion of independence —> immediately concession thing when he tells Bruce he’s done and basically quits being Robin, only to change his mind completely and awkwardly continue on as Robin as if nothing had happened.

Tim basically proves again where his priorities lie: even its his turn to be the target of the most recent round of the Bruce Wayne’s Mind Games Wheel, he still comes back, he still fails to follow through.

Like, it sets a standard. Steph’s her own person, and I’m not trying to discredit her ability to think for herself here at all, but I think Tim’s choice to forsake his hurt over Batman’s mind game test and go back to Bruce sets a precedent. That this is just acceptable behavior if you want to be on Batman’s team. All I’m saying is this situation probably played some role in Steph’s willingness to pick up the Robin mantle despite her rocky history with Bruce. Steph herself is able to make this clear the connection between her own firing and Tim’s birthday gaslighting, and ergo, if Tim finds that behavior acceptable, if Tim can forgive and forget, if it doesn’t really matter, if Tim can move past it, then Steph should be able to do so too. It’s just part of working with Batman. I feel like that might set the stage for Stephanie’s ability to work under Batman again.

Probably a small factor, if one at all. And certainly not Tims fault really. But interesting to think about!

Additionally, I find the framing of roles so intriguing in Robin #120. Having Tim and Steph completely switch roles, (tricked by Batman becomes comforter, comforter becomes tricked by Batman) with all the corresponding dialogue switching with them (“I know”/“go to hell”) it kinda paints a grim picture.

Like on one hand, it’s nice that they have each other, and it’s horrible that they’re both so easily thrown from victim to comforter because the same man cannot and will not stop playing mind games with these teenagers.

And this moment is especially cool given how Tim and Stephanie are characters who are often shown in contrast to one another. They are contrasted in personality, contrasted in morality, contrasted in relationships with other characters, etc. something established both in Robin 1993 and also I feel picked up on in the fan sphere.

And for once, in Robin #120, they are not really being contrasted so much as directly compared to one another. They say the same words. They fit the same roles. They both are dealing with this same shitty Bat. They’re almost interexchangable, with how aligned their words and feelings seem to be.

But on the other hand, for me at least, Robin #120 also kinda really draws out the differences in the roles they are playing.

In GK37, Tims role as the comforter is perverted by the knowledge he has (and had) which Stephanie does not (and did not). He facilitated (unintentionally or not) the encounter Batman and Steph have. He chose to keep her in the dark, and he chose to lie to her. Of course, who knows what would have happened if Tim had warned Steph on his own, or even if he just hadn’t lied to Steph, their encounter could have very well gone the same way.

But regardless of that, Tim’s role is still not really pure. It’s a shitty situation for Tim to be in, sure, but his ability to comfort Steph is tainted by how he maintains the illusion that he had no clue this was going to happen to Steph, instead of the truth: he had clear advance warning.

And then in Robin #120, the tables are turned.

Now. I’m not really saying this was karma for him lying to Steph. But I’m also not not saying that.

But, I mean, Steph is comforting him, commiserating with his pain and mentioning her own shitty similar experiences and Tim Drake just sits there, seemingly trying to change the subject and ignoring entirely the (albeit unintentional) role he played in that particular mind game.

He should feel a little shitty about that, and I’m not sorry for saying it. He should feel guilty in that moment.

Almost certainly not Lewis’s intention, by the way, but I’ll read into whatever. I will say that no matter what, the parallels between GK37 and Robin #120 and definitely there, and I assume there for a reason.

swahili log day 8

ive been at my partners house this weekend and we're usually busy at night, so i haven't done my swahili for 2 days. today i did 5 language transfer episodes (56-60). heres what i learned:

Mtalaka, mpendwa - you can add m- to the beginning of a verb or noun to make it a Person word. talaka (divorce), mtalaka (someone who is divorced).

Mimi ni mmerikani - to say you're a certain nationality, just use "ni". add m- to the country name to make it a person word

Kitabu ni kidogo - match adjectives to the noun they refer to

Hapa ni pazuri - match adjectives to words like hapa/pale :)

Nipo/niko - must use "niko" when asking about "where", but otherwise used interexchangably, means "i am located". sometimes you use hapa/pale to specify, but sometimes context is enough. doesnt need to match. for both this and nimo, this is only used in the present tense and kuwa is used for past/future.

Yumo - specifically "i am inside". must use with humu or mle. Yu is used for singular animate things, such as he/she/a cat, etc

words i learned:

Dogo - small

Kubwa - big

Humu - inside place

Talaka - divorce

Mkate - bread

Meza - table

Tomorrow (maybe) I will start on episode 61 :)

Dance

In accoutrements of motion science glared the mobilization of accord with the atmospheric superior and subdual as force inoculation into matter space through patterns of frequency codes, rhythm and music seizes the statuesque spirit and is concise to the staple innovative, to bequeath an assertion of artificial time, matter, frequency, code, liberation and expounded interexchange of dynamic to systems of address of such chaos to control of personal mentalizations of brisk spirit.

Desert

The plain view was grotesque as an orchestration of the deserted and lifeless, the brief glistening of winds ascertained the structural functional of disposition to acceptances of randomizations of physical permutations, a calculus of patterns by and into infinity, each spare motion a pattern to attend to the mathematical and astoundingly spare and inevitable, the popularity of such mathematicized terrain, an occasional downpour of change of wind from deities committed, for its high objections of crying singularizations.

Wall

The formalization of a temperment isolative, critical, binding and steadfast to constructive dogma, dividends between parties of industry and segregation of human solubles, wills and talent, actuations in the belief of party specialization and human resource internments and such minds of necessary segregations, the partition of semi-lucid subliminal operations to induce a series of steps to opportune a maze, post a human guessing game, an address, a redress.

Flower

A lurid rose, a flower of the nature of nature to be perfected in symmetries classified to the human mind, a drop of pleasure to behold, an incident and monopolization, a phenomenon into a symbol, and human courses of actions to adulate the symbol derivative from sheer natural order, into an object of human transactions, that which rest, contemplates, concedes, coincides, and applies to pulchritude of the gift of wonder and system, conquer and depict.

Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity: Bridging the Gap Between Innovation and Risk

Nowadays, Artificial intelligence (AI) with the combination of cyber security becomes the crucial ground where the two elements-innovation and risk are interexchange. The further development of AI takes place at a furious speed, and its applications regarding cyber security present at the same time both promises of defense and threats of misuse. The mutual dance between progress and danger becomes more comprehensive in which businesses and government needs to follow the terrain with an open eye on using AI as a transformative tool and as a way to mitigate risks.

The Convergence of Innovation and Risk

As the intelligence of AI increases and the trend continues, governments as well as tech companies worldwide are in a race for strategic superiority. However, despite the fierce AI momentum, cyber security becomes the main challenge. Besides AI empowering the cyber defense capabilities, the technology also becomes a powerful tool installed by malicious actors to conduct stand out cyber-attacks.

In the volatile cryptocurrency market, understanding investor sentiment can be a crucial, yet tricky source of information. The CEO and co-founder of CryptoQuant, Ki Young Ju, has recently suggested large investors are still engaging with the market with a “risk-on mode.” According to a post Ki Young Ju shared in the microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter) with his over 300,000 followers, Bitcoin whales are still taking risks by sending their coins to derivatives trading platforms. The chart by the analyst displays the “interexchange flow pulse,” a measure of the net one-year flows of BTC between Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and derivative exchanges. When the metric rises, it implies that investors are moving more BTC from spot to derivative exchanges, which shows their increased risk appetite. The chart reveals that Bitcoin has been in a bullish phase when the indicator surpasses its 90-day moving average (MA), as it currently does. This pattern was also seen in 2017 and 2019-2021. When the indicator falls below its 90-day MA, Bitcoin has entered a bearish phase. While the cryptocurrency market has been trading sideways over the last few weeks, major financial powerhouses that collectively manage an astounding $27 trillion in assets are making inroads into the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency after a race to list the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States kicked off. As noted by CoinShares Chief Strategy Officer, Meltem Demirors, at least eight financial behemoths, which include BlackRock, Fidelity, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon, Invesco, and Bank of America are “actively working to provide access to Bitcoin and more.” BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, took a pioneering leap on June 16 with a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund application, seemingly igniting a domino effect as peers rushed to file similar applications. The $27 trillion figure, it’s important to point out, represents a grand total of assets under management across the aforementioned institutions, and only a minuscule fragment of this gargantuan sum is anticipated to be channeled into cryptocurrency investments.

An Introductory Guide for Class 4 Softswitch Solution

Class 4 Softswitch solution has become acknowledged as the best tool that helps route call traffic en masse from one destination to another. A class 4 Softswitch enables the routing of VoIP calls to international destinations using IP networks. Connecting with a local class 5 Softswitch, a class 4 Softswitch sends calls through international channels and then connects with another class 5 Softswitch to complete the call.

A class 4 Softswitch solution is emerging as an important VoIP tool as it routes calls from a source to a destination, dealing with carriers, data, and call volume as well. In this blog, we dive deep to know the class 4 Softswitch in detail. We’ll also find answers to why it makes VoIP services more robust and reliable.

What is a Class 4 Softswitch?

Call switching as a practice has been around in the telecommunication industry for a long time. It has been used to interface callers with their recipients. Before the Softswitch landed on the horizon, this process was conducted manually, with administrators shifting phone lines physically from one circuit to the next. The Softswitch has made this practice automated.

Softswitch software helps to launch, manage, route, and terminate calls in VoIP networks. Both class 4 and class 5 Softswitch have emerged as the most widely implemented solutions for routing calls through different networks. For instance, if a user in the United Kingdom wants to call a number in the USA, a class 4 Softswitch will route the international call and maintain it as well till the call ends.

VoIP networks use different types of codecs and protocols. Also, the caller and the recipient may be using different types of telephony infrastructure. In such a scenario, the VoIP Softswitch does the transcoding of the different codecs that are used at both ends of the call. The same holds true for protocol conversion as well. If it is different at both ends of the calling line, the class 4 Softswitch does the protocol conversion to ensure a smooth flow of audio or video signals.

The class 4 Softswitch was originally designed to carry out the functions of call routing, protocol conversion, and transcoding seamlessly. But over time new and path-breaking features have been added to the solution. The new versions of the class 4 Softswitch come with security provisioning, failover, load balancing, backup, and reporting. It’s turned the technology on its head, making it a one-stop solution for all VoIP call connections.

What’s more, the new breed of class 4 Softswitch solutions also supports more call volume than its predecessors, giving VoIP solution providers an opportunity to scale their infrastructure and services. The solution also comes as a web based application making it easy to be accessed remotely and enables a cost-efficient way of scaling voice services and offering a foolproof presence between interexchange carriers.

Class 4 Softswitch solutions come with a laundry list of features that have turned VoIP services more profitable thanks to efficient routing and billing. What’s more, being a robust, scalable, and consistent solution, the Softswitch can easily manage and control VoIP calls, signaling, and every other aspect of large-scale VoIP calling.

preceramic/aceramic period in the LB/LoS? okay that is a wacky claim that I didn't consider before

I find unlikely that hornset are ancient enough to not have access to pottery, specially considering that Rauh/Uhl clearly had ceramic and predescent them.

Perhaps could be a interceramic, in which pottery knowledge was lost or was restricted due resource scarcity or a collapse in the interexchange net limitting access to vases and jars in wide range forcing the adoption of other means to prosced their rites, like baskets and sundry earthware with grog

I found more likely that those bloodfiend did this to themself like part of some new rite, since bloodfiends are people of the LoS victim of the Great Crusade that got scared to the point to twisted their ways & as consecuence their bodies too.

I finally made it into the cavern with the stone coffins and I started bumping into these guys. The first thing I noticed is that they have baskets on their lower halves, like they were a much older iteration of what the Hornsent were doing with the shaman village. Back before they started working clay and were still using baskets for a lot of things. The baskets look like they are part of the bloodfiends, permanently melded to their skin.

The second thing I noticed, upon closer inspection, is that they sort of look like the same species as the Alabaster Lord. Or they used to be, anyway, before the Hornsent got their hands on them.
