Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?
Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times.

THE ART AND THE DEAL Droste-effect van visuele symboliek, op bijgaande foto: de Joodse Zelensky in conclaaf met de meervoudige zondaar en crimineel Trump, zittend in de doopkapel van de Sint-Pietersbasiliek in het Vaticaan. 1/11

This speech is full of half-truths, distortions, misleading claims and outright lies. Basically living up to every meme, trope and unfair stereotype, of Americans being ignorant morons. I'll go through each of the claims he made in this segment and what the actual facts are. /1

Ex-Google Mo Gawdat says AI will have a dystopian impact on humanity in the short term as big tech players change the very fabric of society and deprive people of their freedom by making decisions on everyone else's behalf on everything from economics to human connection

Wat een top en verhelderend interview van Paul van Liempt met Prof Bas van Bavel. Jaren geleden zijn boek “de onzichtbare hand” al gelezen en hij krijgt steeds meer gelijk. En ondanks alles een positief perspectief. Bas van Bavel: ‘We bevinden ons nu op een kantelpunt richting neerg... youtu.be/H36M23Aw2eI?si=06p7… via @YouTube

I need your help. I was contacted by the wife of our soldier, who is currently being treated in the Netherlands at a military hospital in the city of Doorn. About 15 of our heroes are currently there. They did not see their families for a very long time. Wives and children want to see them. The only problem is that there is nowhere to stop. If you can help with housing for some time - write to me, and I will give the contacts of the families.

Good evening. Day 282 of the war. I am in Vinnitsa, Ukraine. This is an unmanned tractor. Local engineers developed it so it can de-mine agricultural fields without putting driver’s life at risk. We came to check it out and see how KSE Business School can help scale them up 1/

This morning: Cust: "Can we run four Tesla drive units with your setup?" 057: "We have one customer running 8. (Max currently.) What are you making with them?" Cust: "Two-seater Tesla powered quadcopter" 057: 🤯 I didn't know I needed it, but this needs to actually happen.😮

🧵You asked so here’s a list, in no particular order, of Ukrainian brands that I’ve ordered from/shopped at over the last 10+ years. Some things I bought while in Ukraine, so do your own due diligence on shipping, import & remember things might take longer in a time of war 1/n
I decided to order all my Christmas gifts from #Ukraine this year. I did it early to make sure everything arrives. Today a box came from Bucha. Ukrainian resilience 💙💛

This Bowie interview absolutely never gets old and is never any less mind- blowing. In the context of the time (1999) it’s almost unfathomable the understanding he had of what was about to happen to the world. Just incredible.
