Gas Giant Colony by Grant Yun #art

Found an awesome site for workout routines to do at home: DareBee. The workouts have themes like: martial arts, role playing games, and science fiction. It's all free with no ads, supported by donations. You can filter by fitness level, with or without equipment, or type of exercises desired. Wish I had known about this years ago. Check it out if you need some inspiration to exercise, or you're bored with your routine.

Expats buy Japanese country house for a song and get way more than they bargained for

https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/japanese-country-real-estate/index.html

"In a country known for sky-high real estate prices, buying a large country home (or 'kominka') in Japan is still affordable. You can buy a home with a modest lot for as little as $20,000 USD, depending on location. Some towns even maintain lists of free or nearly free houses, in hopes of bringing in new families."

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/us/politics/russia-afghanistan-bounties.html

"[T]here were multiple concurrent campaigns behind the surge in Exchange attacks during April, with most employing web shells on internet-facing Exchange servers for initial access. The attackers used multiple web shells, but the most widely used was the China Chopper web shell....

Doomscrolling Is Slowly Eroding Your Mental Health

https://www.wired.com/story/stop-doomscrolling/

"Doomscrolling will never actually stop the doom itself. Feeling informed can be a salve, but being overwhelmed by tragedy serves no purpose. The current year is nothing if not a marathon; trying to sprint to the end of one’s feed will only cause burnout and a decline in mental health among the people whose level-headedness is needed most.... Perhaps now just needs to be the End Times for your timeline."
