@NotebookLM a 3D infographic as a gaussian splat ? 👀

[NotebookLM @NotebookLM]

Ok, it’s probably about time we changed the game.

Stay tuned 👀

This is your chance to know everything about these masterpieces.

Drop your questions in the comments because next week I will interview @DanyBittel , the creator of these and many more fascinating examples of #3DGS reconstruction using macro photography.

Follow me to make sure you don't miss the full interview once it comes out and the many more I publish every week on XR AI Spotlight to dive into the intersection of #3D, #XR and #AI.

This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter

[Lavrovskyi @LavrovskyiU]

My main account @Lavrovskyi was just suspended. The reason? "Violent content."

You know what X considers "violent"? My personal story about body recovery duties in Avdiivka back in 2022. And a video of Russian war crimes.

A Tunnel Between Russia and the USA.

According to the Kremlin’s biggest piece of scum—Kirill Dmitriev—the parties could soon sign an agreement to continue planning work.
Trump—Putin’s best collaborator—wants to bring the Russians into the USA via the shortest possible route.

When will Americans have had enough?

‼️BACON: Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night with ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, and we better be there to help them, or in the history books it's gonna say, "United States failed when it's most needed."

“Are we gonna stand with good, or are we gonna stand with evil? That's what this is about tonight. Ukraine is a democracy, it's a free market, it's rule of law. It's been invaded by a dictator who throws his enemies off of roofs, poisons his adversaries, and he attacked his neighbor that's four times smaller than Russia. What's the goal? To eliminate their independence, to eliminate them as a culture, as a people, 'cause he wants to control those old borders of his that he has had. We gotta stand for the good side tonight. What does this bill do? It provides $1.3 billion in direct military aid, and $8 billion in military sales, and provides tough sanctions on Russia. We should have done this a year ago. We could have done this in a bipartisan way year ago, but we have not. This decision is needed now. Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night with ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, and we better be there to help them, or in the history books it's gonna say, "United States failed when it's most needed." And I know this, I want this House to stand on the right side. I want Republicans to stand where Ronald Reagan would be if he was here right now. Ronald Reagan would be voting yes tonight. He'd be standing up for Ukraine and opposing Russia. This is our Churchill moment or our Chamberlain moment, and by God, I'm gonna choose Churchill, and this House better choose Churchill tonight. With that, I yield” - @RepDonBacon on Thursday, June 4th, 2026

🚨 The House just passed the Ukraine Support Act by a vote of 226-195 to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia.

37 years ago the Chinese army killed large numbers of people in Beijing and elsewhere when it cracked down on student protests. I was there and saw it happen myself. Nowadays China tries to claim the Tiananmen massacre was invented by the international media. That’s a total lie.

@NotebookLM I thought I had lost those prompts forever, but here they all are again 😄

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Irish politicians are avoiding questions about Aughinish. Patrick O’Donovan refuses to answer my calls. The refinery is in his constituency

He says the Russian owned plant is not connected to Russia’s war machine, without showing evidence. They want this to blow over. It won’t

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Rubio laments that all US efforts in pushing for a Ukrainian surrender have put the Trump family no closer to those Russian billions.

A new robot joins the Allies of Steel❤️‍🩹

Meet MAUL — an evacuation platform, developed by the First Separate Medical Battalion specialists — designed to reach the wounded where medics can’t.

Let’s ensure there are more of them:

The President of the United States is asleep at his desk. Again.

Behind him stand seven grown adults in expensive suits, and not one of them is doing anything about it. One is mid-sentence. Another is gazing sideways with the haunted look of a man whose pension depends on never acknowledging what he can see in his peripheral vision.

The rest of the world is watching, and the rest of the world has noticed something. Americans are terrified of authority. That fear has settled over this administration like a fog, and it turns otherwise functional adults into warm furniture. Nobody moves. Nobody speaks. The paralysis is total.

In any European parliament, in any boardroom from Oslo to Ljubljana, someone would have leaned over by now. Tapped a shoulder. Said, quietly but clearly, that perhaps this isn’t the moment. Somebody would have done something, because the alternative, pretending a sleeping man is running a meeting, would have been too absurd to sustain.

Not here. Here, seven men have collectively decided that the correct professional response to the President losing consciousness in the Oval Office is to carry on as though he were a particularly demanding houseplant.

A video appeared showing the aftermath of the Ukrainian strike against the docked „Boykiy“ in Kronstadt, Russia.

What and absolute embarrassment for the Russian army, having lost a ship in the middle of one of their most fortified ports in all of Russia.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

No Russian passport holders should be allowed to enter civilized nations.
