Monks' Peace Walk: meet Aloka the Dog
This story is easy to do because the men at Wisdom Quarterly are dog people, who love dogs and fish and only recently warmed up to the wonder of cats. Who would have guessed that a dog can be a monk's best friend?

It is believed to be a Pariah dog originally living as a stray when it encountered a group of Vietnamese American Buddhist monks in 2022 [2], participating in a peace pilgrimage across India.

The monks then adopted the dog, named it Aloka (guiding light), and brought it back to the United States [3, 4].

Aloka has walked alongside the Buddhist monks, sometimes on foot and other times riding in a support vehicle when needed [3].
It has a distinctive heart‑shaped marking on its forehead and has amassed a large following on social media platforms [5]. More

- As a literal mark of skillful karma performed in the past, one is reborn (due to some heavier unskillful karma) in the Animal Realm below the human plane of existence but with beauty and marks on the fur, skin, or feathers. Behold the perfectly formed white heart on Aloka's third eye/forehead.

Let's ask Musk's son-turned-daughter Vivian Wilson. |

(The Verge) Jan. 9, 2026: LAS VEGAS, Nevada - The "Consumer Electronics Show," or CES (or the "Nvidia Corporation Show" because everything is full of A.I.), is the biggest and buzziest tech event of the year. It's all AI everywhere. And it just wrapped up. From laptops and AI robot pets to LED masks and trifold phones and (yes) lots of robots. The Verge staff saw everything in between. Here are their top picks from CES 2026. #CES #CES2026

BRISTOL (CNA): [There are] killer robots, slaughterbots, or Terminators -- official name LAWs or "lethal autonomous weapons" -- from films and books. And the idea of super-intelligent weapons running rampant is still [considered] science fiction. But as artificial intelligence (AI) weapons become increasingly sophisticated, public concern is growing over fears about lack of accountability and the risk of technical failure. [They have already been tested in Venezuela, according to a release by Press Sec'y Karoline Leavitt.] Already we have seen how so-called "neutral" AI have made sexist algorithms and inept content moderation systems, largely because their creators did not understand the technology. But in war, these kinds of misunderstandings could kill civilians or wreck negotiations. For example, a target recognition algorithm could be trained to identify tanks from satellite imagery, but what if all of the images used to train the system featured soldiers in formation around the tank? It might mistake a civilian vehicle passing through a military blockade for a target. More: channelnewsasia.com

Spicy romance novels as 'smut therapy'?
 |
| Penners, what about reading spice and smut? |
Bailey Sutton-Moser, Mia Calderwood, and Rachel Moser -- three friends who share a love for reading -- came up with the idea to open Between The Covers after seeing an online video about an Arizona bookstore that specialized in selling romance books for women.
“I was like, ‘What if we just did this?'” Calderwood says. “We talked about it for an hour, and the next thing you know, we’re submitting for a business registration.”
 |
| Spicy, smutty, romance fantasy addiction? |
“A romance bookstore is a space that women can go into and just breathe for once,” Sutton-Moser says. “It’s a chance for women to break away from reality, to find books that appeal to our natures, and just relax.”
The owners say everyone is welcome at the bookstore, and it is not an adult business because it doesn’t sell adult items, although some content is age-restricted. More: aol.com
