CHINA AND ITS ROBOT DOGS
While Western militaries are obsessed with pronouns, gender ideology, and marching in LGBT parades...
... the Chinese army is building robot dogs armed with machine guns.
During the largest joint military exercise between China and Cambodia, known as "Golden Dragon," maneuvers were carried out over 15 days at a remote training center in central Cambodia and along its coast. The main objective of this exercise was to enhance military cooperation between the two countries. Among the advanced tactics and technologies showcased, a demonstration by the Chinese army involving robot dogs equipped with machine guns stood out.
The collaboration between China and Cambodia aims not only at exchanging modern warfare strategies but also at integrating advanced technologies on the battlefield. According to Presse, this event marked a milestone in demonstrating the technological and tactical capabilities of both nations, highlighting the importance of these exercises for joint preparedness in potential conflicts.
In addition to the robot demonstrations, it is speculated that the exercise included urban combat and coastal defense simulations, reflecting a wide range of tactical scenarios in which both armies could collaborate in the future. The participation of these innovative devices underscores the technological advancement and commitment of China and Cambodia to modernizing their armed forces.
Meanwhile, in the USA...
A very dangerous dress.
ROBOT BOXINGChinese robotics company Unitree just dropped the announcement for what they claim will be the first ever boxing match between humanoid robots. The event is called “Iron Fist King: Awakening!” —which, let’s be honest, sounds more like an arcade game from the early 2000s than an actual tech showcase. But apparently, it's happening. In about a month. And yes, they’re promising punches. Between robots. For real.
They’ve already released a teaser video showing two of their machines squaring off in what looks like a training session. The bots throw punches, move around with a certain flow, and even stumble a bit —as if the video’s trying extra hard to look real because not everything looks polished. Still, it’s hard to buy it completely.
The movements feel… off. Too smooth to be robotic, too clunky to be cutting-edge animation. It sits in that uncanny valley where your brain goes: “Nice try, but I’m not sold.” It smells more like well-done CGI packaged as “look what we can already do,” rather than something truly happening in real time.
Are we getting closer to actual robot sports? Maybe. Are we seeing a real one here? Yeah, not likely.

A sweet memento from their first date.
BORN IN RUSSIABeing born here or there, into a rich or poor family, is so incredibly random that sometimes we forget just how much life resembles a roll of the dice—one we don't even get to throw ourselves. Think about it: coming into this world is literally the universe’s biggest lottery, and it's absurd how something we have absolutely zero control over defines us from day one.
Some people land straight into mansions with swimming pools, surrounded by privileges they never even asked for. Others are born between bare walls and leaking roofs, facing limited chances from the moment they open their eyes. And here's the kicker: no one earned the conditions they're born into. There’s no merit, no initial effort—just pure chance.
Whether we're born lucky or unlucky massively shapes our paths: education, health, opportunities, even our dreams and aspirations. Sure, there are those who preach that "where there’s a will, there’s a way," but reality is much harsher. Our randomly assigned starting point can either turbocharge our lives or slam on the brakes right from the start.

Today's slow-motion highlight.
SUPERMAN: LEGACYThere was a time, back in the '90s, when going to the movies felt like a weekend ritual. Every Friday brought new and varied releases. There was always something that grabbed your attention—maybe a wild comedy, an action flick full of explosions, or a story that hit you right in the feels. Not every movie was a masterpiece, but most of them did the job: they entertained you, made you laugh, pulled you in. And the best part? You walked out of the theater feeling like it was worth it, like you hadn't been ripped off. (Back then, 4 euros got you a ticket, popcorn, and a drink.)
Nowadays, though, it’s hard to find something that actually makes you want to pay for the big screen experience. Weeks can go by without a single release that doesn’t feel recycled, predictable, or just plain boring. I don’t know if it’s me getting pickier, the industry running out of ideas and cash, or a mix of both. But in this case, it really does feel like the “good old days” weren’t just nostalgia—things really were better back then.
DC just dropped a nearly five-minute clip on YouTube featuring David Corenswet as Superman, along with his dog, Krypto. The video shows a wounded Superman in a frozen, icy setting.
