But how did they do all this work and not register a .horse domain?
_The Bartender, dumbstruck, gazes into the endless depth of the Horse's eyes, and asks him, "Sir, I beg you say, do you finally have your Emacs setup just how you like it?"
The Horse replies, "Neighhhh..."_
This is magical
Via, but I couldn't find the original GIF.

Robot war dogs hunting migrants now
Dystopian robot dogs are the latest in a long history of US-Mexico border surveillance:
Each is embedded with different types of cameras (thermal, night vision, long-range) and sensors (chemical, weapons detection). DHS praised the device's ability to cross multiple terrains -- including sand, rocks and hills -- and its durability in high heat and cramped spaces.
DHS' choice of vendor sparked additional concern. While most police departments leased their pups from Boston Dynamics, which forbids customers weaponizing any of their tech, DHS chose Philadelphia-based Ghost Robotics. Late last year, the company debuted a version of its robot dogs equipped with long-range guns capable of hitting targets at a reported 1,200 meters.
DHS's oddly cheery blogpost also implied the robots would be used beyond the border itself, including "towns, cities, or ports'' where DHS agents might encounter dangerous conditions. Federal officials have increased authority to stop and search civilians within 100 miles of the border, despite fourth amendment protections against arbitrary or excessive stops and seizures.

Apartheid Emerald Mine Space Karen has a new gig: Monkey Vivisectionist
15 of 23 Monkeys with Elon Musk's Neuralink Brain Chips Died:
"Pretty much every single monkey that had had implants put in their head suffered from debilitating health effects," said the PCRM's research advocacy director Jeremy Beckham. "They were, frankly, maiming and killing the animals."
Neuralink chips were implanted by drilling holes into the monkeys' skulls. One primate developed a bloody skin infection and had to be euthanized. Another was discovered missing fingers and toes, "possibly from self-mutilation or some other unspecified trauma," and had to be put down. A third began uncontrollably vomiting shortly after surgery, and days later "appeared to collapse from exhaustion/fatigue." An autopsy revealed the animal suffered from a brain hemorrhage.
The PCRM filed a complaint with the the US Department of Agriculture on Thursday, accusing UC Davis and Neuralink of nine violations of the Animal Welfare Act. "Many, if not all, of the monkeys experienced extreme suffering as a result of inadequate animal care and the highly invasive experimental head implants during the experiments, which were performed in pursuit of developing what Neuralink and Elon Musk have publicly described as a 'brain-machine interface,'" the group wrote in the complaint. [...]
Musk said in December that Neuralink hoped to start human testing this year.

Hacker Takes Over Numbers Station For Rickrolls And Memes
Buzzer is a Russian military station currently haunted by radio pirates:
Mysterious Russian shortwave radio station UVB-76, known as The Buzzer, normally broadcasts nothing but indecipherable beeps and numbers. But recently it has started to take music requests and post memes, after hackers seemingly took control of the channel for their own purposes. "Aboba" a voice repeatedly said over the station earlier today, before proceeding to blast Russian rave music.
The Buzzer, a Russian numbers station in use since the Cold War, became a sensation on the internet in the late 2000s thanks to 4Chan, and ever since people have wondered about the channel's origins and purpose. It's been especially good fodder for online creepypasta and paranormal enthusiasts because of the mysterious voices that occasionally read out nonsensical chains of numbers and words.
This week, however, it was home to Guy Fawkes masks, Discord pings, and Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," as listeners gathered around YouTube streams for The Buzzer to witness the ghostly mashup.
