β’ Abbas Bahri (Tunisia): also received the Fermat Prize

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Hard not to sympathise with Catholic bishops who "unwittingly joined a political event" by going to see Trump in the White House where there were cameras present.
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."
The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.
Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks thatβs a winning message for Republicans
seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year
The pedophile protection partyβs president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history.
Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So letβs make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.
Sad news about DΓ³nal Lunny 1947-2026. He helped shape Irish music for generations and influenced so many across all genres from trad, folk, rock & pop.

Many called Jared Kushner corrupt
Many noted he took bribes from Middle Eastern autocrats, especially Saudi Arabia, skewing US foreign policy
And they were right
But as this reveals, he's even more corrupt and took even more money from Middle Eastern autocrats that many, even strong critics, knew

in the narrative of this ad, kyle, our white plagiarist, isn't even depicted as worried about his own job performance; he steals labor because seeing someone who's not a white guy being praised "really got to him"
if that doesn't sum up where we are with all of this, i don't know what does
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot
A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead:

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova asked on Tuesday what Russia had ever done to the Netherlands. The remark sneered at a country whose people know the answer. On 17 July 2014, a Russian missile downed flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine. All 298 people aboard were killed.
TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages.
TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine.
Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.
The UN verified that at least 328 civilians were killed and 2,105 injured in September 2026, an 85% increase compared with September 2025. And who does the so-called president blame? Ukraine, of course.

π³ Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event
Supercut:
Trump: "We've given more money to Ukraine than almost anybody over the years, hundreds of billions of dollars. We've got nothing back other than high diesel. American taxpayers are tired of it."
The US hasn't provided aid to Ukraine since Trump took office. Instead, they SELL military equipment to
NATO allies, who then transfer it to Ukraine.
And by the way, the US is currently withholding lifesaving air defense missiles that our allies have already paid for!

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...
Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world"
(This is a lie!)
Hard to believe that one in three Americans - thatβs well over 100 million people - still support this criminal grifter, traitor and wannabe dictator. Sad indictment of that country.

I honestly donβt know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him.
Itβs also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed.
They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire.
The walk of shame at the end. π€£
Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.
