This is just an invasion by any other name. In a just world, Israel would face the same treatment as Russia.
Yesterday Israel ordered the inhabitants of Nabiteh to leave (population of 100,000) They then ordered the inhabitants of Tyre to leave (pop of 200,000). Now they've ordered the entire south to leave - up to 300 towns & villages. Alex Crawford reporting from Lebanon today

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

@anderspucknielsen.dk @vladvexler.bsky.social I feel it's an important part that is missing in the current discourse that is mostly focusing on Trump's irrational desire for greatness and the very purpose of NATO. This, unfortunately, makes all this Greenland talk even more scary.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.
NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors. This impacts elections. This impacts discourse. This is major. Subscribe to support my work:

Dutch anti-Muslim populist Geert Wilders goes full Trump, claiming on X after he lost the election that there are reports of vote fraud. Also claimed the election authority was not neutral. Tearing down the pillars of Dutch democracy. nos.nl/l/2588722
Riiiight. Or you could see this as attack. But that would be awkward.
Tunisian authorities have stated they've looked into the incident, with Tunisia's National Guard spokesman stating claims of a drone attack on the flotilla "have no basis in truth", and "an initial inspection indicated the explosion originated inside the vessel.". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump gave Israel the bombs it uses to kill civilians. He armed Israel’s siege starving two million people, half of them kids. He defunded UNRWA and USAID. He proposed the forced displacement—aka ethnic cleansing—that Israel is now openly pursuing in Gaza. And he wants Palestinians to thank him?
REPORTER: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza? TRUMP: Say it? R: Should Israel be doing more to allow food? T: What is she saying? SOMEONE: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza? T: You really at least want to have somebody say thank you. We gave $60m for food for Gaza
Vlad Vexler put this really interesting video out. "Trump's decisions are shaped by the need for spectacle, not strategy." So it's while you can say Trump doesn't really know what he is doing that doesn't mean his intent in unknowable. Which in turn makes him easy to manipulate.

1. An education is also an incubator that provides you with an environment and like minded people to jam and compete. The curriculum provides stepping stones, your class mates make you excel. 2. Oh yes. But you can find that environment elsewhere too. The main thing is to find it.
Art School Discourse is happening again, so I wanna see something. 🎨 If you went to/graduated from an art school/art college/art major: 1. What was your most valuable takeaway(s) from your experience? 2. In hindsight, was it all worth it for those main takeaways?
