President Trump has given no indication that he has made a decision about how to proceed, as diplomatic talks continue.

The rapid buildup of U.S. forces in the Middle East has progressed to the point that President Trump has the option to take military action against Iran as soon as this weekend, administration and Pentagon officials said, leaving the White House with high-stakes choices about pursuing diplomacy or war.

Mr. Trump has given no indication that he has made a decision about how to proceed. But the drive to assemble a military force capable of striking Iran’s nuclear program, its ballistic missiles and accompanying launch sites has continued this week despite indirect talks between the two nations on Tuesday, with Iran seeking two weeks to come back with fleshed out proposals for a diplomatic resolution.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly demanded that Iran give up its nuclear program, including agreeing not to enrich any more uranium. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, whose country would potentially take part in an attack, has been pushing for action to weaken Iran’s ability to launch missiles at Israel.

Poland has banned Chinese-made cars from entering military facilities in an effort to bolster infrastructure security, according to the country’s General Staff.

The decision follows a risk analysis regarding the growing integration of digital systems in vehicles and the possibility of “uncontrolled data acquisition,” the army said in a statement published on its website on Tuesday.

NATO-member Poland has maintained trading ties with China even as Beijing sided with Russia over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. SAIC Motor Corp.’s MG brand, Chery Automobile Co.’s models and BYD Co. led sales in Poland among Chinese auto manufacturers.

The alarm in the Hashemite Kingdom reached a fever pitch on Sunday, following the Israeli cabinet’s approval of measures to register vast swaths of the occupied West Bank as “state land” under the Israeli Ministry of Justice. The move, described by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich as a “settlement revolution”, effectively bypasses the military administration that has governed the occupied territory since 1967, treating it instead as sovereign Israeli soil.

For Jordan, this bureaucratic annexation is the final signal that the status quo is dead. With the Israeli military’s “Iron Wall” operation crushing refugee camps in Jenin and Tulkarem, Jordan’s political and military establishment is no longer asking if a forced transfer is coming, but how to stop it.

Riders embroiled in a dispute over pay and conditions with food delivery company HungryPanda in Sydney say Chinese police have summoned family members back home and even threatened to have them arrested upon return as part of a pressure campaign to stop them protesting.

The development has raised concerns about foreign interference in the protracted tussle between HungryPanda and some of its riders who say pay cuts and a lack of transparency in the app's algorithm have pushed them to the brink.

Earlier this month, multiple Sydney-based HungryPanda riders in a group chat on the Chinese social media app WeChat began discussing plans to hold a protest or refuse to work.

On Lunar New Year eve, dozens of them signed up for switching off from work during the Lunar New Year period, which often brings a surge in activity and orders on HungryPanda.

Italian police said Wednesday they had detected cyber-attacks against the interior ministry seeking information on dissident Chinese citizens and officers investigating Chinese groups in Italy.

“No sensitive data related to operational activities appears to have been taken,” police said in a statement, saying their findings had been passed to judicial authorities.

They did not give a timeframe but the La Repubblica daily had earlier reported that the interior ministry suffered a cyber-attack between 2024 and 2025.

...

It reported that Chinese hackers had obtained a list of some 5,000 police officers, many in sensitive roles such as counter-terrorism or tracking Chinese dissidents in Italy.

“The malicious activities were promptly detected by the Postal Police as part of routine security monitoring of the interior ministry’s IT systems,” the police statement said.

...

La Repubblica reported that the discovery of the hack damaged the growing cooperation between Italy and China on drugs, cyber-crime, human trafficking and organised crime.

This had included working together to investigate the activities of warring Chinese mafia groups in the textile hub of Prato, near Florence.

like if you wanted to mix paint to get a color from a computer would you do the opposite of what the RGB value is? I'm confused

like if I wanted to take the RBG code R:99, G: 66, B, 33 wouldn't it look more lightful than if I mixed paint into 1 part blue, 2 part green, 3 part red? how would you paint a color code?

tw: death, blood, gore, irony

a bit of context

I posted an ironically edited Charlie Kirk shot gif, with what I thought at the time was sufficient warning and blockage, in response to someone saying we could ai generate a gif of Hitler's suicide. I was making a comment on how such a thing couldn't compare. All things considered I didn't think my comment was in that poor taste, especially given I was actively editing to give even more warning and barriers. In the end it's not a big deal, I expect no less, but come on, give me more than "nope"


Edit:

I kind of regret making the post but the dialogue might make it worth it.

to be clear, I never thought they were powertripping and/or bastards, this was just the most appropriate community for something that at the time I felt could use more discussion.

In short:

Police have seized five posters depicting world leaders in Nazi-like uniforms from the window of a Canberra bar.

The bar was declared a crime scene and was forced to close, while the artist says the works are "clearly satirical".

What's next?

The bar owner says the images are "demonstrably anti-fascist" and that he has no regrets about displaying them.
