Khanna refusing to reject Jeffries as speaker means he’s not a leader. So please, don’t waste our time.
If you’re weak and amenable to corrupt garbage, please step aside. Thanks.

This is the type of shit that happens countless times a day and goes unreported outside the WB. Then, when the village is buried under a mountain of waste and residents are forced to burn it, settlers will accuse them of air pollution and occupation will crack down even harder.
Israeli occupation forces confiscated a tractor used for waste collection in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, and handed it over to settlers.
Under the protection of Israeli forces, the settlers dumped the waste the tractor was carrying at the entrance of Al-Mughayyir Boys’ School, in yet another attack on Palestinian property and village facilities.
صادرت قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي جرارًا يُستخدم في نقل النفايات في قرية المغير شمال شرق رام الله، وسلّمته للمستوطنين.
وقام المستوطنون، تحت حماية قوات الاحتلال، بإفراغ النفايات التي كان يحملها الجرار عند مدخل مدرسة ذكور المغير، في اعتداء جديد على ممتلكات الفلسطينيين ومرافق القرية.

Hi @grok, Is it true that Israel set a Guinness World Record for the most kidney donations (or the largest gathering of kidney donors) in January 2026
While at the same time bodies of dead Palestinians returned from Israeli prisons were missing organs?

What a joke: the non-Jews telling the Jew what Zionism is & isn’t. The ignorant arrogance is astonishing
🇬🇧 “Is it now the Labour position that a genocide is not racist?”
Green Party leader Zack Polanski confronted Conservative and Labour politicians at the London Assembly on Thursday after Conservative Susan Hall introduced a motion condemning the Greens’ decision to define Zionism as racism.
Hall called the Green Party’s position “abhorrent” and argued it threatened Jewish Londoners.
Polanski, who is Jewish, accused Hall of weaponizing antisemitism and challenged Labour members over their government’s continued military support for Israel amid the genocide in Gaza.
The Assembly passed Hall’s motion 19–3, with just the three Green members voting against it.

If journalists like Courtney weren’t reporting from Lebanon we wouldn’t know that Israel is still killing people and demolishing homes.
Because legacy media doesn’t care.

I’m a millennial we are cringe. We fell for Obama just because he was black, only for him to bomb seven countries. We fell for Bernie because he made false promises and pretended to be different than the rest of the establishment, only to turn around and enjoying the establishment. And somehow millennials keep falling for the same establishment tricks every 2 to 4 years. If anything, Gen Z is far less cringe and has a much better understanding of revolutionary politics than millennials have.
AOC: A note for Gen Z. If you want to understand millennial cringe, what you all call millennial cringe, this earnestness, imagine all the seats we flipped last night. That feeling, plus, on top of it, electing the first Black president ever. And on top of that, you did it the first time you ever voted. That hits generationally. You’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.
And because you did it the first time you ever voted, you’re like, ‘Yeah, we can change the world. Why not? We did it the first time. Let’s just do it again.’

‼️ Hackers stole the passwords of everyone registered on a portal of Germany's Technical University of Munich, plus their names, home addresses and dates of birth.
One stolen login belonged to an administrator of TUMonline, the campus system that runs student records. The attackers turned it on that system too, and TUM has taken it offline.
The data also covers students' ID numbers and degree programmes, and staff work addresses and phone numbers. TUM believes grades were not touched.
TUM has not said how many people are hit. Accounts with multi-factor login were safe.

Let me tell you a story about how unethical Anthropic is.
In April, the Anthropic team began heavily courting our engineering team to tell them corporate secrets, technical details, and future plans for @cfosilvia.
They pretended their interest was due to our exploding popularity and accelerating compute usage, but it quickly became apparent that Anthropic was fishing for details on how we built our product and why it was so popular.
This included the Anthropic team trying to wine-and-dine our engineers, including a infamous steak dinner where someone told our team "don't worry about it, this is on Dario."
Our team was not born yesterday, so we quickly realized what was happening and refused to share sensitive information and technical details with the Anthropic team.
As we suspected, Anthropic was trying to get information from us, so they could build a competing product. Some people on their team must have a guilty conscious because they messaged us a few days ago to give us "a heads-up" that they were launching a competing product.
Thankfully, the Silvia engineering team has been aggressively working to get off the frontier models for the last ~ 6 months. That effort has been highly successful, because our compute costs are ~ 97% lower when we use our own model & hardware, the latency is lower, and the accuracy of answers materially increases as well.
The sad thing for Anthropic is they have now released an inferior product and they had to sell their soul to do it.
The only thing worse than being a trillion-dollar company that can't beat a 10-person team is being a trillion-dollar company that no one trusts and everyone knows is unethical.
Serious investors continue to choose @cfosilvia over ChatGPT, Claude, and other frontier companies because these products are not optimized to solve the actual user problem.
Today, Anthropic launched a Claude wrapper that is masquerading as a personal finance product. Best of luck to them.
But I will take the Silvia misfits vs the Anthropic losers any day of the week.
if you want to support people trying to do things the right way, and help investors be more informed, then consider signing up for Silvia today: silvia.com

BYD just got Abu Dhabi to shut down a desert highway so its electric hypercar could hit 503 km/h, about 313 mph. That made it the first production car in history past 500.
At that speed you cross a football field in about two-thirds of a second, and the car needed a whole highway because its test track in Germany literally ran out of road.
Back in September 2025 at Papenburg, the Yangwang U9 Xtreme came off the banked curve doing around 300, hit 496 on the straight, and started drifting toward the left wall. Marc Basseng had to lift off with more still left in it, and the car sat stuck at 496 for over a year.
Those last few km/h are brutal because of air. Drag goes up with the square of your speed, and the power you need to push through it goes up with the cube, so going from 400 to 500 is only 25% faster but takes roughly twice the power. Up near the top, almost all of the car's 3,000 horsepower is getting burned just to hold its speed against the wind. What's left over for accelerating is a trickle, so the last bit eats a ton of road.
Everybody who's chased this number has run out of road. Bugatti needed the 8.8 km straight at Volkswagen's private Ehra-Lessien track to reach 490 in 2019, and then announced it was done with top speed records. Koenigsegg built the Jesko Absolut for exactly this number, and Christian von Koenigsegg admitted a 3-mile runway would only get it to about 85% of what it can do. No Jesko has officially gone past 500.
So BYD went looking for a road. Stella Li said in July she wanted a 15 km straight in the UAE and would ask the police for one. Last Sunday Abu Dhabi closed 10 km of the E11 out in the desert, Basseng went back out, and the whole run from launch to stop used 9.2 km of highway. It was one direction only, same as Bugatti's record, and the FIA made it official today.
Bugatti spent 14 years getting from 408 to 490 km/h, and the original U9 went from 309 in January 2024 to 503 in less than three years.
speeding up past 300km/h
speeding up past 400km/h
topping 500km/h
scary
congrats team BYD or should I say Yangwang?

‼️ Apple's iPhone keyboard runs on a hidden list of phrases it won't suggest or swipe-type, from "Dictator Trump" and "Sleepy Joe" to "male chauvinist pig".
In Hebrew, it won't suggest "occupied territories". In French, "immigration too high".
Researcher Derik Kauffman found it buried in iOS and puts it at about 100,000 entries. Reuters tested a sample and the keyboard stumbled on all of them.
Swipe "United Ireland" and you get "United Iceland". "Read smut" works, "read gay smut" doesn't.
Apple says you can still type any word yourself. It hasn't said why political phrases are on the list.

Here’s a breakdown of nobody discussing anything important about a scientific revelation by a tech bro…
Point no 1 - We will not prove ourselves right, please use your time & recourses to prove us wrong. Anyway we will not accept when proved wrong.
Point no 2 - Give me Bharat Ratna & Nobel Prize as I’ve put 2/3 of my money behind my idea. Who even does that?
Point no 3 - I’ll buy science if needed. I’ve money. Lots of money.
4. Our Employees are in on the Pyramid Scheme. Just like the guys who work at a scam call center are in on the scam.
5. If others can take 10 to 12years then we will at-least take 8 t0 10 years until then SHUT UP.
6. We have “our science”. Our science will find our claims to be correct.
7. I’m confident so that’s a great start for me & that is all that matters.
8. We will share more feature & call them ground breaking with our fraudcasters & other paid PR.
PS - I haven’t responded to any scientific or medical concerns but FU I’m RICH & very confident.
Dear Concerned Indian Doctors,
I see your rage against Temple on X. I have a few points
to make:
1. First and foremost, a business lesson: if Temple were a scam, and any of what we said weren't true, people would know it in just a few days of using Temple. We have 14-day, no-questions-asked returns (which even Apple doesn't offer in India). If the product doesn't work, it fails out of the gate and the company dies before recovering a tenth of its R&D.
2. We have already spent $30m building Temple, $20m out of which is my own money. Selling a few thousand devices recovers a small fraction of this investment. A scam that pays nothing is not a scam anyone would run.
3. I left the Eternal CEO role to chase purpose with Temple. This is not about money. I have enough of it to last for generations. My incentives are fully aligned with getting the science right. I am not staking a reputation earned over 20 years on making a quick buck.
4. Our employees bought into our round a few months ago. The round we're raising now is mostly our customers. Scams don't build that cap table.
5. Most wearable companies start with internal studies. Whoop shipped its band in 2015, and the first published validation followed a few years later. We hold ourselves to a higher standard; pre-prints are a step prior to peer reviewed publications, and they are coming up.
6. At some point you have to stick your neck out and say: we believe in our science, and the product is now valuable enough for people to pay for and use. We believe we are there. More validation continues in public.
7. We are confident that we are building something that the world is going to be positively astonished with. We stand by our science and our methods. Each of our claims is easily verifiable by individuals and institutions alike, and you will see a lot of independent studies come up on their own when the device becomes available to use.
Last but not the least, the most ground breaking features in Temple are not even public yet. And some of them, thankfully, have nothing to do with doctors 🤭
Hope this addresses some or all of your concerns. If not, keep raging 😘🤗
