Staybehind är på tapeten igen. De verkar paketeras som något annat än vad de var. Agenter för främmande makt som ibland hänföll till terrorism. Vi gjorde ett avsnitt om dem för många år sedan.

im referring to the staybehind operation in europe, formally organized by NATO, but the primary drivers were the US and UK. the latin american stuff was all CIA of course, little to no UK involvement, but the UK absolutely got its hands dirty in europe and turkey

Spannende Story von @msulzbacher.bsky.social, zu der ich dankenswerter Weise etwas Input liefern konnte. In Sachen #staybehind in Österreich kennen wir nun nicht nur den Ansprechpartner auf Seiten der CIA, sondern auch den Umfang der Widerstandsnetze www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Reading “Automatic Noodle” by @annaleen.bsky.social and am smiling at imagining Sweetie as a punk robot. Is Staybehind HEEI? Is Tokyo or Berlin at the end of WW2 an analogous situation for post-war S.F.? @charliejane.bsky.social

spent my day off reading this cute lil book!

I really loved all the characters in this one. Staybehind in particular really grew on me!

160 pages wasn't enough for me though! I would love more stories with these characters ❤️

(also how yummy are the colours on this cover??)

Rund 52 Personen bildeten Anfang der 1950er Jahre den Stammkader von #staybehind in Österreich - die CIA kalkulierte eine Jahresinvestition von rund 1,4 Mio. (heutiger) Dollar thomas-riegler.net/2025/06/06/d...

read a single chapter of Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz instead. so far, I'm intrigued!

gutted by the fact alone that the main robot's name is Staybehind 😭
done running around in rdo collecting tarot cards for tonight, so now I'm debating what book to pick up next. I've wanted to reread Dragonheart, but there are also so many books I HAVEN'T read before that I want to read 😩 woe. deciding is hard.

Book 5 was Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz.

Staybehind, Sweetie, Cayenne, and Hands reboot to find the restaurant where they worked has been abandoned, so they decide to reopen.

Affirming, inclusive, heartwarming, hopeful … cosy sci-fi FTW!

Love this story!!! Skillfully evoking empathy for future sentient beings is an extraordinary talent. I’d defend Staybehind with my life.

Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz is fantastic.

Four robots (Staybehind, Sweetie, Cayenne & Hands) start a noodle restaurant in post Calexit San Francisco.

This is one of my favourite books this year. Good characters, great world building, uplifting, cosy, and fun but also thoughtful.

I know! “Hands” is throughout the book, being a character, but it stutters my brain to read, even though they could be Roach.
And the octopus.
And Staybehind - a bit Stede, bit C-3PO, but with Ed’s experience.
Yeah, I’m projecting all the way, but I do love this caring little group.

Neue Zürcher Zeitung revisits a Cold War underground network as a strategic metaphor. #StayBehind signals not just historical resistance cells, but a potential shift of the #Bundesnachrichtendienst toward operational, covert-military capabilities 1/2 www.nzz.ch/pro/vom-nach...
Der BND auf dem Weg zum Geheimdienst – das plant die Bundesregierung
Kaum einem Nachrichtendienst liegen so enge rechtliche Fesseln an wie dem Bundesnachrichtendienst. Das will die Regierung ändern. Dazu erwägt sie offenbar auch Massnahmen aus dem Kalten Krieg.

Echt een pareltje hoor:
“De Staybehind heeft een smet opgelopen met zijn Italiaanse versie, GLADIO, die in de jaren negentig aanslagen heeft gepleegd. In België werd, door sommigen, nadien de link gelegd met de Bende van Nijvel, ook al lijkt het bijzonder onwaarschijnlijk, [...]
