Condolences to the beloved people of Spain for the victims of the train collision. We stand with you and share in your sorrow.

Watching so many people finally saying out loud what we're all thinking is very satisfying

Netanyahu is still around. Israel is a lost cause. Zionist won’t disappear that easily. I’m sick to my stomach, and my heart aches for tens of thousands of Palestinian children who were murdered at the hands of these genocidal creeps.

When Meghan initially spoke on having received that letter, she remembered it was in 2018.
The MET initially had amnesia, stating they didn't know if such a letter existed. Of course she was then labelled a liar 🙄
She went on to checkmate them and state she could provide a copy of her letter. So the amnesia cleared and the MET suddenly remembered they received the letter in question, in 2019. Meghans team issued a statement saying that if the MET had time stamped the letter as being received in 2019, then to take that as the time it was received.
The MET have now stated the letter has been lost, and have asked Meghan to provide them with a copy of hers. So how on earth did they ascertain that they received the letter in question in 2019 if they have lost it?

Ex Foreign Minister of Germany confronted in Uppsala University, Sweden over her complicity in the Gaza genocide. Watch the perverted cynical smile on her face.

Lemme break it down for y’all.
A new Middle East order around Palestine, without the Palestinians.
Gulf royals, Trump’s son-in-law, mercenaries, billions in investment money, and Israel all playing their part in the same regional power game.
But here’s the bit that gets me as a Palestinian: everyone’s negotiating Israel’s security, Gulf interests and Washington’s ambitions. So who the hell is negotiating Palestinian rights and self determination? No one…

92% of Israelis voted for parties that entirely reject 2 states.
That entirely reject any recognition of Palestine.
This isn't Netanyahu....it's a perverse, sadistic and deeply violent entity.
And they have nuclear weapons and the support of the West.

Israel doesn't qualify to be called children of God. Blessed are the Peace Makers for THEY shall be called the Children of God. Matthew 5:9

his blasphemous twist on “Israel” is chilling… the Israeli government is NOT the Israel referred to in the Bible. Period

Is the entire world going to allow Israel to continue to take over Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Jordan? They're killing innocent people as they accomplish this violent takeover. Will they be even be sated by that? What's next?

“Do you understand who you are dealing with? This is America. Back up.”
A United Nations meeting was dramatically suspended yesterday after US ambassador Mike Waltz and Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla both ignored the chair’s plea for order in the chamber.
The problem started when Waltz blamed Cubans for the shocking US embargoes and blockades that are causing huge suffering to the people of the island.
Cuban representatives, astonished at the way Waltz blamed the victims for the crisis, in their eyes, stood up and objected, citing Rule 71, which allows listeners to raise a point of order.
Ambassador Waltz responded that the Cubans didn’t like the substance of his speech, so were not raising a point of order.
But when complaints continued, this caused Ambassador Waltz to lose his temper and shout “Back up! Back away. Do you understand what you’re dealing with? This is America.”

INTERNATIONAL TERRITORY
The rest of the United Nations was outraged by this attitude, as the UN building is legally international territory.
When Waltz refused to stop his tirade, Khalilur Rahman, chair of the 81st session, ordered that the meeting be instantly suspended. Waltz ignored him.
The meeting was then resumed, but footage of the argument created a huge storm on social media.
Some people in the US defended Waltz’s narrative, blaming Cubans for the suffering caused by the US embargos.
But much of the commentary from the rest of the world said that the United Nations, for the safety of the delegates and the organization itself, should no longer be situated in New York.
When New York was originally chosen as the site, the US pledged not to politicize US visa access to meetings—but has regularly broken the pledge, such as refusing to allow visas for Palestinians.

My comments on the triumph of Arab science and their contribution to preserving Aristotle, Ptolemy, Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, during the dark ages, until it transitioned 500 years later to Copernicus, Galileo, Tycho Brah, Kepler, Vesalius, da Vinci, Gilbert. Without the great centers of Arab science in Baghdad, Cordoba, Cairo, all would have been lost. There would be no SpaceX, Anthropic, Meta, or at least not for another 500 years. You can take that to the bank

This is honestly shocking.
Three months ago, Hong Wang was awarded the Fields Medal for resolving the Kakeya conjecture in three dimensions.
Today, OpenAI released a proposed proof of the conjecture in ALL dimensions.
And that’s not all. It also announced a proposed existence proof for quantum chromodynamics and a proposed refutation of the Exponential Time Hypothesis.
Experts say that, if confirmed, these would be Nobel prize and Turing award level discoveries respectively.
A journalist just asked me: “What remains for humans to do?”
I think it’s becoming increasingly clear that more and more problem solving will be automated.
But humans will remain crucial in determining the direction of discovery. Deciding which problems are worth solving.
Because the value of a discovery depends on our needs, our priorities and the kind of world we want to build.
There will be a shift from problem solving to problem setting.
I also think there will be huge individual differences.
People with strong critical thinking skills, creativity and imagination will be supercharged by AI.
People without those skills risk surrendering to it.
I’m particularly concerned for children, who may never develop these skills.
I think epistemic literacy - how to distinguish information from knowledge - is the single most important skill we should be teaching.

What a line:
"Most Israeli Jews now see the world the way Netanyahu has long seen it. That is Netanyahu’s great victory. But it is matched by his great loss: Much of the world now sees Israel the way Gazans see it." nytimes.com/2026/10/25/opini…
