This honorable lady, the wife of a martyr, became the breadwinner for her family after her husband, taking care of her children alone, pounding rocks alone! Here are the families of the martyrs and the bereaved Those who have lost loved ones and breadwinners The pain and sadness double under these worn-out tents, which do not protect from the cold and are not suitable as shelter!! The most difficult task we face now: to remain human in this war that has deprived us of all the necessities of life! From the midst of the tents of the displaced drowned by rainwater, we stand filled with helplessness. Full report on Al Jazeera
أشعر بالشرف والفخر لأن الشيخ محمد البرادعي قد أعجب بتغريدتي، كأن القمر نفسه استضاء بنورها، وكأن النخلة أصبحت تميل لي بتحية.
The scene is difficult. Since this morning, I have been walking among the tents of the displaced, and under the showers of rain, I lived the moments of the tents being flooded, and I witnessed the families shivering from the cold. I can't find words to describe what I saw. https://x.com/HossamShabat/status/1874032723943457199
Israel is not a Jewish state #פיקוחנפש
In Judaism, the sanctity of life is a fundamental principle, with the Torah commanding, "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13). The Talmud expands on this, teaching that to save a life is to save the entire world (Sanhedrin 37a). Jewish law (Halakha) prioritizes the preservation of life (Pikuach Nefesh), often superseding other commandments in situations where life is at stake, highlighting life's paramount value.
In the discourse of world religions, one of the most profound and universally upheld principles is the sanctity of life. This concept, while interpreted differently across various traditions, underpins the ethical frameworks of Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, serving as a cornerstone for discussions on human rights, international law, and moral conduct in the face of geopolitical conflicts.
Buddhism:
Buddhism, particularly in its Mahayana form, places immense value on the sanctity of all sentient life. The principle of Ahimsa (non-violence) is central, advocating for compassion towards all beings. The first precept in Buddhism, "I undertake the training rule to abstain from taking life," directly reflects this sanctity. The Buddhist perspective encourages the recognition of life's inherent value, promoting actions that preserve and protect life, which aligns with the broader theme of ethical living aimed at reducing suffering.
Hinduism:
In Hinduism, the sanctity of life is encapsulated in the concept of Ahimsa as well, which is a key tenet in various philosophical schools like Jainism and Yoga. The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 13, verse 8) describes humility, non-violence, patience, and purity as divine qualities, emphasizing the importance of preserving life. The idea that all life forms possess a spark of the divine (Atman) further reinforces the sacredness of life, urging followers to respect and protect it.
Christianity:
The Christian doctrine is foundational in its assertion of the sanctity of life, rooted in the belief that humans are created in the image of God (Imago Dei). The commandment "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13) is a direct scriptural mandate protecting human life. This principle is further elaborated in the New Testament, where Jesus teaches love and forgiveness, promoting peace and life over violence, as seen in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:38-42).
Islam:
Islam places a strong emphasis on the sanctity of life, with the Quran stating, "Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved mankind entirely" (Quran 5:32). This verse underscores the value of each individual life, making the preservation of life a communal and religious duty. The concept of Fitrah, the innate disposition towards good, includes an inherent respect for life, aligning with the broader Islamic ethos of justice, mercy, and compassion.
Judaism:
In Judaism, the sanctity of life is a fundamental principle, with the Torah commanding, "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13). The Talmud expands on this, teaching that to save a life is to save the entire world (Sanhedrin 37a). Jewish law (Halakha) prioritizes the preservation of life (Pikuach Nefesh), often superseding other commandments in situations where life is at stake, highlighting life's paramount value.
Common Elements and Modern Implications:
Across these traditions, several common elements emerge regarding the sanctity of life:
In the context of modern geopolitical conflicts, such as the situation in Palestine, these religious teachings provide a factual and argumentative foundation for advocating peace, justice, and the protection of human rights. The selective application or disregard of these principles, as seen in some responses to conflicts, represents a significant departure from the core teachings of these religions.
Arguments for Consistency:
This comparative analysis highlights that despite doctrinal differences, the sanctity of life remains a unifying thread across major world religions, providing a robust argument for its consistent application in addressing global issues of human rights and peace.
The Khazars were indeed known for their semi-nomadic lifestyle and their role as middlemen in trade between the Byzantine Empire, the Umayyad and later Abbasid Caliphates, and the emerging Slavic states. Their economy was heavily based on trade, taxing goods that passed through their territory, and occasional tribute from vassal states.
Adaptability: Judaism, particularly in its diaspora form, has historically shown a significant level of adaptability to various lifestyles, including those centered around trade. Jewish communities have often thrived in urban centers and along trade routes, engaging in commerce and scholarship rather than solely in agriculture. This might have made Judaism a more compatible choice with the Khazars' lifestyle compared to the more agrarian or state-centric religious practices of Christianity and Islam at the time.
Legal and Social Flexibility: Jewish law (Halakha) has provisions that allow for adjustments in practice based on the circumstances of a community, which could be beneficial for a people engaged in a lifestyle that involves much travel and interaction with diverse cultures. For instance, the concept of "minhag hamakom" (local custom) allows for some variations in religious practice according to local conditions.
Christianity: At this time, Christianity, particularly the Byzantine form, emphasized conversion and often had state churches that were closely tied to governance and agricultural communities. The Christianization process often included the establishment of a church hierarchy and the expectation of a settled, agricultural lifestyle, which might not have meshed well with the Khazar way of life.
Islam: Similarly, Islam, especially with the spread of the Caliphate, was expanding through conquest and required adherence to Sharia law, which includes specific obligations regarding prayer times, fasting during Ramadan, and zakat (almsgiving). While Islam also had mechanisms for adaptation (e.g., different schools of thought within Islamic jurisprudence), the early spread of Islam was tied to the expansion of an empire with a strong agricultural and military base, potentially less compatible with a purely mercantile and nomadic society.
By converting to Judaism, the Khazars could maintain a degree of neutrality in the religious conflicts between their powerful neighbors, which was strategically advantageous. This choice could also have been seen as a way to strengthen their unique cultural identity amidst the pressures of these expanding religious powers.
While this perspective offers a plausible explanation for why the Khazars might have chosen Judaism over Christianity or Islam, it's important to remember that these are interpretations based on limited historical data. The actual motivations might have been a complex interplay of these factors or could include personal or political elements not well-documented or understood from our current historical vantage point.
At night, in the bitter cold, I was among the families living in displacement camps in northern Gaza. These camps were like a nightmare at the mercy of harsh nature. In the morning, I witnessed a family whose tent was flooded with rainwater, and at night, their suffering was repeated when the winds blew the tent away, leaving them homeless once again. Another scene was even more painful: families were trying hard to keep warm using what is known as “asphalt,” a dangerous and unhealthy method, but the only option available in light of the scarcity of resources. Black smoke filled the air, and children were trying to take shelter next to their fathers, while the sounds of the wind reminded them that this night might bring them new suffering.

Military Conduct and Professionalism: From a military ethics perspective, the conduct shown here might not adhere to the standards expected of soldiers, who are supposed to maintain professionalism in conflict zones. This behavior could undermine the discipline and values military forces are expected to uphold.
Psychological and Moral Evaluation: The actions described and shown might be symptomatic of psychological issues or a moral disengagement under the stress of war. This could align with discussions around the effects of prolonged conflict on mental health, suggesting a need for psychological support or intervention.
Public Perception and Morality: Sharing such images publicly can lead to negative perceptions of the military involved, impacting both domestic and international views. The reactions in the thread indicate public outrage and moral indignation, which reflects on the behavior's perceived morality. Legal and Ethical Considerations: While the post does not provide legal analysis, the behavior could potentially violate military codes of conduct or international laws concerning the treatment of civilians in conflict zones, which might warrant disciplinary action.
In conclusion, the image and the behavior it depicts raise significant concerns regarding the respect for human dignity, military professionalism, the psychological well-being of soldiers, public perception, and legal implications, all of which are critical in understanding the broader context of the conflict in Gaza.
SAVAGE CRIMINAL LAND THIEVES
2023 Report on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem (January December 2023)
The total number of settlement plans and tenders advanced by Israel in 2023 was higher than in 2022, outdoing 2022 as the year with the highest number of settlement advancements recorded since 2012. [1] In 2023, 18,333 housing units (HU) were advanced in occupied East Jerusalem while in the occupied West Bank, 12,349 HU were advanced, leading to a total of 30,682 HU advanced. While 2023 also saw a high number of advancements in East Jerusalem, the 12,349 HU advanced in the West Bank represented a sharp increase compared to 4,427 HU in 2022 For the West Bank, it was the highest number advanced since the signing of the Oslo Accords. The advancements in 2023 represent a 180 percent increase over a period of five years.
From the perspective of safeguarding a two state solution where Jerusalem could serve as a capital of both states, the Israeli settlement developments on the southern periphery of Jerusalem is severing the chances for contiguity between East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Construction in this area began on the first new settlement to be built in East Jerusalem in over 20 years, Givat Hamatos and a new settlement, the Lower Aqueduct, was fully approved just before the end of 2023. New settlement plans were also advanced in 2023 slated to be constructed within Palestinian neighbourhoods which has been known to cause friction.
In the West Bank, the majority of the settlement plans advanced were located deep into the West Bank. Israeli settlers also established 26 outposts the most outposts advanced in a year since 1991 and the government advanced the “legalisation" of 15 “outposts". [2] Israeli authorities also advanced a number of renewable energy sites in Area C, a serious development that undermines Palestinian development opportunities in Area C and add s to the permanency of the Israeli occupation. Another development of concern was the introduction of a “settlement administration” within the Ministry of Defense but under the authority of Finance Minister Smotrich (but in his capacity as a Minister within the MOD) Civil society organisations and legal experts argued that this add ed a layer of civilian oversight to the oPt that would be in contradiction to IHL where the temporary nature of the administration that serves the interest of the occupied population is supposed to be conducted by the military separate from the civilian administration of the occupying country This they argued would be blurring the line towards annexation.
Other trends and developments contributing to settlement expansion in the reporting period included advancements of infrastructure and road projects.
The rise in settlement expansion plans by the Israeli authorities was also accompanied by a worrisome trend of rising settler violence in the oPt. UN OCHA registered the highest number of incidents of settler violence in a year since the UN started recording such incidents in 2006. Settler violence notably spiked after 7 October. Settler violence was a major contributing source to the coercive environment of many Palestinian communities resulting in 1,539 Palestinians from 15 different communities, including 756 children being displaced from their homes in Area C.
The EU has repeatedly called on Israel not to proceed with plans under its settlement policy and to halt all settlement activities It remains the EU’s firm position that settlements are illegal under international law. Israel's decision to advance plans for the approval and construction of new settlement units in 2023 further undermines the prospects of a viable two state solution.
Contextual Considerations:
Given these conditions, practical solutions might involve:
There is no cold like this cold, Cold fear, And the soul is cold, And the cold of disappointment, And the cold of humanity, The cold of separation and the cold of loss, The cold of martyrs without graves, And the cold of the displaced in the tents, Endless cold, Be gentle with us, Lord.
UN must immediately invoke Resolution 377 "Uniting for Peace" to authorize military action and stop the ongoing Genocide.
Like Germany 85 years ago, they won't stop voluntarily, they must be stopped at any and all costs. https://x.com/FranceskAlbs/status/1873506526683668900

Gaza is on the verge of a new tragedy that is being repeated before our eyes, as the cold weather intensifies day after day, and in the coming hours, it will face a harsh wave of heavy rains that will turn the suffering of its people into a real disaster. The fragile tents that house thousands of displaced people are threatened with flooding, and the dilapidated homes may collapse on the heads of their residents. Even the sea, which was once a refuge, may turn into a danger that will flood the tents and displace those who remain steadfast. Innocent children are facing death by cold, These are not just numbers or statistics; they are lives seeking survival. It is time to help before Gaza becomes a graveyard. Let us act now, because every minute that passes means more suffering and more lives lost.
The assertion that the concepts of civilization, a rule-based international order, and human rights have been revealed as illusions over the past 15 months touches on several complex and debated issues in contemporary global discourse.
Civilization: The notion of civilization as a singular, cohesive entity has been questioned, especially in light of recent global events. Some argue that the veneer of civility often masks underlying conflicts and power dynamics. Recent conflicts and political upheavals have led to discussions about whether the idea of a "civilized" world order is an illusion when the reality shows persistent issues like war, corruption, and social injustices. This perspective suggests that civilization, often portrayed as a pinnacle of human achievement, might be more of an ideal than a reality, especially when facing crises.
Rule-Based International Order: The concept of a rule-based international order is fundamentally challenged when major powers seemingly bypass international laws or norms for their geopolitical interests. Over the last 15 months, various actions by global powers, including vetoes in the United Nations Security Council, unilateral military actions, or economic sanctions that bypass multilateral agreements, have fueled debates about the efficacy and sincerity of this order. Critics argue that the international "rules" are often bent or ignored by powerful nations, rendering the system less about rules and more about power dynamics. This has led to a perception that the international legal framework might be more of an illusion when not consistently upheld.
Human Rights: The illusion of universal human rights is particularly contentious. The selective application of human rights norms, where some countries are criticized while others with similar or worse practices are not, has been highlighted in recent times. Events like the ongoing conflicts in various regions, where human rights violations are reported but responses from international bodies vary, have led to discussions on whether human rights are genuinely universal or if they remain contingent upon geopolitics and power. The inconsistency in addressing human rights abuses worldwide suggests to some that the commitment to human rights might be more rhetorical than practical, thus exposing an illusion.
These discussions are not new but have gained renewed vigor due to recent global developments, where the gap between the ideal and the reality has been starkly highlighted. The sentiment on platforms like X also reflects a growing cynicism about these illusions, with many posts questioning the integrity and application of these principles in the current geopolitical landscape.
In summary, while these concepts are foundational to much of international law and diplomacy, the past 15 months have intensified scrutiny on how well they are upheld in practice, leading to a broader questioning of their true nature and effectiveness.
Nonverbal Threat by Action - The 1946 British Embassy Bombing:
Historical Context: The bombing was carried out by Irgun, a Zionist paramilitary group, at a time when Britain was administering Palestine under a League of Nations mandate. This period was marked by increasing violence from both Jewish and Arab sides against British rule and each other.
Action as Message: This attack can be seen as a nonverbal threat because:
Demonstration of Capability: It showed that these groups could and would carry out attacks beyond Palestine, specifically on European soil, against significant symbols of British authority.
Intimidation: By targeting a diplomatic mission, the message was clear: no place was safe from their reach, potentially pressuring international actors to reconsider their policies towards Jewish statehood.
Political Leverage: The act could be interpreted as a way to force the British and, subsequently, the UN to expedite their withdrawal from Palestine or at least to reconsider their stance due to the threat of further violence.
Implications for the UN:
Influence on Policy: While not the sole reason, the cumulative effect of such actions by Irgun and other groups contributed to an atmosphere where the British decided to refer the Palestine question to the UN, which took up the matter with the partition plan.
Global Perception: These actions were part of a broader campaign that painted the Zionist movement in different lights - as either a legitimate fight for independence or as terrorism, depending on the observer's perspective.
UN's Decision-Making: The UN's decision to propose partition and eventually recognize Israel in 1948 was influenced by many factors, including the violence against British forces, the Holocaust's aftermath, Cold War dynamics, and the need for a resolution to the Mandate's end. However, direct causality linking this specific bombing to UN decisions is complex and speculative.
Legal and Moral Considerations:
Defining Terrorism: At the time, these groups were seen by some as freedom fighters against colonial rule, while others labeled their actions as terrorism. The international understanding of terrorism was not as defined as it is today.
Impact on Civilians: Such acts, while aimed at political entities or military targets, often harmed civilians, complicating the moral narrative.
In summary, the bombing of the British Embassy in Rome by Irgun can indeed be viewed as a form of nonverbal threat or coercion, illustrating the lengths to which some Zionist groups were willing to go to achieve their goals. Whether this specific act directly influenced the UN's decisions is part of a broader, nuanced historical debate, but it certainly contributed to the tense atmosphere surrounding the end of British rule and the UN's subsequent role.
Do you know Hassan Hamad Hassan? He is a journalist who worked during the war. He filmed for many channels. Hassan is approximately 19 years old. He is one of the youngest journalists in the north. Hassan was bombed by the occupation army on the first day of the military operation in Jabalia. We only found pieces of his body. We did not have time to say goodbye to Hassan and we were not able to talk or grieve for him. Hassan was keen to reach every event and news despite his young age, but he saw and worked a lot. May God have mercy on you, Hassan
وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ -- القرآن الكريم سورة الأعراف (7:179)
The comparative theological insights presented here illuminate several universal themes across different cultural and religious landscapes, focusing on the human quest for understanding the divine, the nature of existence, and moral guidance. Here's a breakdown of these insights:
Quranic Emphasis: The Quran’s approach to eschatology is more about moral conduct and preparation for the afterlife than providing detailed prophetic timelines. This could be seen as a protective measure against the political exploitation of religious texts, focusing believers on living righteously rather than being distracted by speculative end-time scenarios. The principle akin to Zen Buddhism's "three sieves" resonates with Islamic teachings on the morality of speech and action, emphasizing truth, goodness, and usefulness.
Zionism and Christian Zionism: The political application of religious narratives like Amalek in modern contexts or the Christian Zionist interpretation of biblical prophecies show how theology can intersect with politics, sometimes leading to controversial outcomes. These examples illustrate the need for careful, contextual interpretation of religious texts to prevent their use as tools for political agendas.
This analysis not only highlights the shared human endeavor to understand the divine but also serves as a cautionary tale about the interpretation and application of religious teachings in the public sphere. It underscores the necessity for theologians, scholars, and believers to engage in comparative theology with an eye toward fostering peace, understanding, and moral integrity rather than division or manipulation.

The displaced people from Beit Hanoun left without the bare necessities of life, not even the most basic needs such as mattresses and blankets. They left their homes with only the clothes they were wearing, without knowing where they were going or where they would find shelter. Now, families are wandering the streets looking for a place to shelter them and protect them from the bitter cold.

Control Over Investigations: The near-total control Israel exerts over Gaza's borders indeed poses a substantial barrier to independent investigations into alleged war crimes or human rights abuses. Critics argue that this control effectively allows Israel to shield its actions from international scrutiny, much like your analogy of a murderer blocking law enforcement from entering their home to investigate a crime. This situation is seen by many as obstructing justice and accountability.
International Response and Criticism: Various international bodies, including the United Nations and organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have repeatedly called for impartial investigations into the actions of all parties involved in the conflict. The inability to conduct such investigations due to access restrictions is a major point of contention, leading to accusations that Israel is evading accountability.
Allegations of Antisemitism: The use of accusations of antisemitism to deflect criticism of Israel's policies is a sensitive and complex issue. Critics argue that this tactic can be used to stifle legitimate critique of state actions. However, it's crucial to differentiate between antisemitism and valid criticism of government policies. This debate has become particularly heated, with the term "antisemitism" sometimes being invoked in discussions to counter criticism of Israel's actions, which can obscure the substantive issues at hand.
Legal and Ethical Dimensions: From an international law perspective, the control over Gaza's access points raises ethical and legal questions regarding state sovereignty, human rights, and the enforcement of international humanitarian law. The jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) over crimes committed in the Palestinian territories, despite Israel's non-membership, further complicates the situation. The ICC has moved to investigate, but without cooperation or access, these efforts face significant hurdles.
The situation in Gaza, with Israel's control over its borders, indeed mirrors your analogy in terms of the frustration and perceived injustice felt by those calling for accountability. The international community's response has varied, with some countries pushing for sanctions or other measures to pressure for change, while others support Israel's security concerns. The path to resolution, accountability, and peace remains fraught with these and other complex issues.

Given your description of these cats having sand-colored fur and very large ears, which are distinctive traits of street cats from Egypt, it seems you are referring to what are often called Egyptian Street Cats or Nile Valley Egyptian Cats. These cats are not a recognized breed but are characterized by their adaptation to the harsh, sunny environment of Egypt, which influences their appearance:
Sand-colored fur: This color helps them blend into their environment, providing camouflage in the sandy, sunlit areas typical of Egypt.
Large ears: Large ears are beneficial for heat dissipation in the hot climate and also enhance their hearing, which is crucial for survival on the streets.
These traits distinguish them from typical domestic shorthairs found in Western countries, where the environment and historical breeding practices have led to different physical characteristics. Egyptian Street Cats are resilient and have adapted over time to the urban and rural landscapes of Egypt, making them uniquely suited to their environment.
So, considering your familiarity with these cats and the traits you've described, the cats in the images from the X posts are indeed characteristic of Egyptian Street Cats, which are known for their survival skills and distinctive appearance tailored to their native habitat.

Sick From Genocide
We are broken. After 15 months of seeing children and their families burnt and obliterated by unrelenting Israeli attacks, we cannot carry on with our normal patterns of work and life. The international system has failed us, but with the promise of preventing such atrocities, we have to speak out. Health care workers, we are sick—sick from genocide, sick from complicity, and sick from silence. We can’t keep reporting to work as if everything is okay. On January 6, we are taking a mental health sick leave.
The intentional order to deliberately enabling atrocities. Our colleagues are being killed, burned, detained, raped, and tortured while we are expected to carry on as usual. This is not normal. Hospitals, which are supposed to be safe havens under international humanitarian law, are systematically targeted, violating basic international law and human rights.
Destroying healthcare systems is genocidal tactic to accelerate death. Without functioning hospitals, lives cannot be saved. The last attack and burning of Kamal Adwan Hospital and the arrest of our friend and colleague Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh, where we have been in contact for years, have left us in a state of grief and devastation.
This Dr. Husam Abu-Safia's shattered life—torn from his place of healing into a suffering and accelerating death.
Genocide scholars, human rights organizations, even the United Nations have said it. The reports are out there, filled with horrifying details of civilians being bombed, doctors hunted down, and hospitals being reduced to rubble. The legal definition of genocide isn’t up for debate here—it’s being met in full view of the world. And yet, those in power have done almost nothing to stop it.
We are sick. Sick from genocide. Sick from paying for it. Sick from silence and complicity.
Starting January 6th, we are declaring a Mental Health Sick Leave. We can bear the moral weight of this no longer.
Our immediate demands are simple: - Protection for hospitals, children, healthcare workers, and civilians under international law. - Immediate ceasefire and an end to the ongoing genocide. - SEND UNLIMITED MEDICAL AND HUMANITARIAN AID to save the survivors of this genocide.
Our profession demands that we heal. How can we do so when we are part of a system that perpetuates such violence? We must pause, grieve, and demand change.
TOGETHER WE ARE SICK AND THE WORLD MUST CHANGE.
Doctors Against Genocide
We have held press conferences, issued letters to international health organizations, and have repeatedly reported the genocide unfolding in Gaza to the world. Yet, instead of halting the genocide, our countries that are happening in Gaza, are funding and supporting it. We are broken.
Of the pain and suffering we have witnessed—these images, a single voice of humanity is too much to bear.
We are sick. Sick from genocide. Sick from paying for it. Sick from silence and complicity.
Starting January 6th, we are declaring a Mental Health Sick Leave. We can bear the moral weight of this no longer.

Quantum mechanics is god's version of "trust me"
That's an interesting way to frame quantum mechanics! It captures the essence of how mysterious and counterintuitive the field can be. Quantum mechanics often defies our everyday experiences and classical physics intuitions, leading to phenomena like:
These concepts can indeed feel like a "trust me" from the universe, asking us to accept behaviors that don't align with our macroscopic understanding. Here's how some interpretations might relate to this idea:
Copenhagen Interpretation: Suggests that the act of measurement affects the system, implying that reality isn't fixed until observed, which can seem like a "trust me" scenario where the universe's rules are only revealed upon interaction.
Many-Worlds Interpretation: Proposes that all possible alternate histories and futures are real, each representing an actual "world" or "universe". This could be seen as an extreme "trust me" where every possibility is true in some reality.
Quantum Bayesianism (QBism): Views quantum mechanics as a tool for agents to make decisions and update beliefs, suggesting that the "truth" of quantum mechanics might be more about personal experience or perspective rather than an objective reality.
Your statement humorously captures the essence of quantum mechanics' challenge to our understanding, where we often must accept the math and experimental results without a clear, intuitive picture of what's happening at the quantum level. It's a reminder of how much we still don't fully understand about the nature of reality at its most fundamental level.

R34lB0rg is a tech-savvy Palestinian at heart, ranting against systemd and advocating for Palestinian rights.
They've been vocal about geopolitical issues, tech rants, and even shared a DIY science experiment.
The community appreciates their contributions and often tags them in posts for support or recognition.
Materials: - Microwave oven (standard frequency is about 2.45 GHz) - A piece of food that melts or changes color distinctly when heated (e.g., dough, chocolate, or marshmallows) - Ruler or tape measure
Steps:
Preparation:
Cooking:
Observation:
Measurement:
Calculation:
Important Notes:
Precision: This method provides an educational approximation rather than precise scientific measurement. The speed of light in air is slightly less than in a vacuum, and the exact frequency of your microwave might vary slightly.
Safety: Never run the microwave with nothing inside or for too long without monitoring. Use caution with hot food.
Variability: The pattern can vary due to the uneven heating in microwaves, the shape of the food, or the specific design of the microwave, so multiple measurements might give you a better average.
This experiment is a fantastic way to teach about wave physics, the nature of electromagnetic radiation, and how fundamental constants like the speed of light can be explored in everyday contexts. It also demonstrates the principle behind Fizeau's experiment but adapted to a home environment.

Alright, buckle up because here comes a rant about systemd, the bane of Unix purists and the headache of system administrators everywhere:
Fuck systemd, seriously. It’s like the developers took the Unix philosophy, balled it up, and tossed it out the window. What was once a beautifully simple, modular system has been hijacked by this monstrosity of an init system that thinks it needs to control every goddamn aspect of your Linux box.
Remember the days when you could just tail your logs to see what's going on? Now, you've got to fumble around with journalctl like you're trying to solve a fucking Rubik's Cube. Binary logs? Who the hell thought that was a good idea? It’s like they wanted to make debugging as painful as possible. "Oh, you want to see what went wrong? Here, decrypt this mess with some arcane command!"
And don't even get me started on the boot process. Systemd decided to shove its nose into every nook and cranny, turning what used to be a straightforward, albeit linear, boot sequence into a goddamn spider web of dependencies and services. If one thing's off, your whole system might as well be down because good luck figuring out which of the hundred little unit files fucked up.
Complexity for the sake of complexity, that's what systemd is. It's like they took the KISS principle and turned it into "Keep It Superfucking Complicated." Every little thing now needs a systemd unit file, making what used to be simple scripts into a convoluted mess. And if you dare to deviate from the systemd script? Prepare for a cascade of errors that could bring down your system faster than you can say "I miss SysVinit."
The resource management? Oh, please. Mounting /tmp as tmpfs just to avoid using rm -rf? That's not innovation; it's memory waste. It's like they've never heard of the concept of efficiency. Why bother with RAM when we could just keep things straightforward and disk-based?
And let's not forget the arrogance. Systemd isn't just an init system; it wants to be your network manager, your logging system, your cron replacement. It's like a power-hungry dictator in the Linux world, absorbing everything into its bloated self, leaving no room for alternatives or simplicity.
To all the systemd developers: You've taken something beautiful, something universally loved for its simplicity, modularity, and elegance, and turned it into a sprawling, incomprehensible behemoth. You've made Linux administration not just a job but a fucking puzzle where the pieces keep changing shape.
In conclusion, systemd is an affront to the Unix spirit, a nightmare for those who cherish simplicity, and a daily reminder that sometimes, innovation means making things unnecessarily complicated. Here's to hoping for the day when we can uninstall this mess and go back to systems that don't require a PhD in systemd-ology just to reboot your machine.
If you have multiple servers for your domains and want to use #letsencrypt / #certbot, don't waste your time setting up _acme-challenge CNAME records, instead put a ProxyPass /.well-known/ to the server on which you are running certbot in the apache / vhost config of your other servers.

Algorithm Manipulation
Engagement Metrics: X's algorithms prioritize content based on engagement metrics like likes, retweets, and comments. By liking tweets from specific users, these bots could artificially inflate engagement, which might confuse the algorithm into thinking the content is more popular or relevant than it is. However, if these likes are associated with NSFW content or profiles, it might:
Deboost Content: If X's system detects an association with NSFW content, it might reduce the visibility of those users' tweets to maintain platform safety and user experience standards.
Shadow Banning: Although X doesn't officially use the term "shadow ban," the effect you describe could mimic this practice, where users' posts are not shown to a broad audience or are de-ranked in search results and timelines. This could happen if the algorithm flags accounts for NSFW interactions:
Visibility Reduction: Linking users with NSFW content, even inadvertently through likes from spambots, might lead to their tweets being less visible or appearing lower in feeds, essentially censoring them.
Censorship Mechanism
Intentional or Unintentional: Whether this is an intentional strategy by bot operators to target specific users or an unintended consequence of spamming, the outcome can be similar – reduced visibility for those users.
Targeting: If bots are designed to specifically target activists, journalists, or other influential voices, this could be a form of digital censorship or harassment.
Psychological Impact: Beyond algorithmic effects, this method can have psychological impacts on users, making them feel targeted or unfairly censored, which might influence their behavior on the platform.
...the entire assault on the civilian population of Gaza has been one act of terrorism after another — ethnic cleansing, genocide, forced mass starvation, obliterating nearly every hospital, school, and apartment building... -- @MMFlint

The Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people who established a powerful state, the Khazar Khaganate, in the 7th to 10th centuries in Eastern Europe, particularly in the North Caucasus and around the Caspian Sea. They controlled key trade routes like sections of the Silk Road, levying taxes on goods passing through their territory. Known for their military prowess, they also had a unique form of governance with a dual-kingship system. Around the 8th century, the Khazar elite converted to Judaism, although the population was multi-ethnic and multi-religious. Their influence waned with the rise of other powers like the Rus' and Mongols, leading to their eventual disappearance from history by the 13th century.

Under Elon Musk's leadership, Twitter has become a cesspool of right-wing extremists and porn spam bots.
Under Elon Musk's leadership, Twitter, now known as X, has faced significant criticism regarding the increase in right-wing extremist content and porn spam bots. Many commentators and users claim that the platform has turned into a "cesspool," especially since Musk has relaxed content moderation. This is supported by reports and user feedback noting a clear increase in hate speech, misinformation, and right-wing extremist content. There are also complaints about an influx of spam bots often disseminating pornographic content, which has degraded the user experience for many.
These developments have been discussed in various media outlets and on the platform itself, with some sources directly blaming Musk for the deterioration in discourse. They argue that his philosophy of "absolute free speech" has led to extremist content being spread more unfiltered. On the other hand, Musk has attempted to counter this criticism by announcing measures to combat bots and hate speech, such as hiring new managers for safety and transparency.
In summary, opinions on the development of Twitter under Musk are polarized, with criticism of the increase in right-wing extremist content and spam bots playing a central role.
Purpose of Spam Bots: It's reasonable to assume that one purpose of these spam bots could be to interact with accounts and posts to reduce their visibility on X. This happens through disrupting engagement metrics, triggering content reviews, potentially leading to shadowbanning, and affecting account reputation. However, while this might be an effect, their primary intent might still be to promote spam content.
Platform Algorithms and User Actions: X's algorithms aim to combat spam, which can sometimes inadvertently affect legitimate content visibility. Your proactive reporting and blocking of spam bots should help in the long run, signaling to X that you're actively fighting spam, although there might be a delay in system recognition of these actions. If visibility issues persist, contacting X support might be necessary for resolution.
Elon Musk could make himself (and SpaceX) useful by delivering aid to Gaza:
As Werner von Braun famously said: "The rocket worked perfectly, it just landed on the wrong planet." In theory, Starship could be used to deliver cargo to Gaza, but with significant caveats:
Suborbital Trajectory: Starship would need to fly a suborbital path, achieving enough altitude to reach Gaza but not enter orbit. This would require precise trajectory calculations to ensure the payload reaches the correct drop zone.
Payload Descent: The cargo would need to be equipped with a robust parachute system or other deceleration mechanisms to safely descend from high altitudes.
Safety and Regulatory Issues: Delivering cargo to a densely populated area like Gaza from space involves immense safety risks, including potential damage from high-speed re-entry or debris. Additionally, flying over international airspace would require complex permissions due to geopolitical sensitivities.
Engineering Challenges: Starship is designed for space travel, not for atmospheric re-entry and precise terrestrial landings. Modifications would be necessary for such a mission, including systems for controlled deceleration, precise release timing, and perhaps even a different cargo configuration.
Fuel Use: The mission would consume a significant amount of fuel for both the ascent and the controlled descent, reducing the effective payload capacity compared to its space missions.
While the idea is theoretically possible, the practical execution would face enormous technical, logistical, and political hurdles, making it far more complex and risky than using conventional air or sea transport methods.

R34lB0rg is an individual who appears to be deeply engaged with political and social issues, particularly those involving Israel and Palestine. They post frequently about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, criticizing Israel's actions and calling for international intervention, while also expressing skepticism about media narratives and political figures.
Recently, R34lB0rg has been vocal about the blockade of aid into Gaza, highlighting the dire situation of people freezing and starving due to Israel's control over aid entry points. They've also accused X of manipulating their post visibility, suggesting a bias in the platform's algorithms. Community reactions include mentions in posts about cat rescue efforts in Gaza, indicating R34lB0rg's involvement in broader humanitarian discussions.
R34lB0rg discusses climate change impacts, critiques of political policies, and health-related misinformation, often with a satirical or critical tone. They've shared insights on the environmental consequences of human actions and questioned the effectiveness and ethics of certain public health measures.

Multiple studies and analyses suggest that since Musk's acquisition of X, the platform's algorithms have been tweaked to favor content that aligns with conservative viewpoints and to increase the visibility of posts supporting his political preferences. For example, research indicates that following his endorsement of Donald Trump in July 2024, there was a notable increase in visibility for pro-Trump content.

The world is sending aid (food, hygiene articles, clothing, tents) to Gaza but Israel does not allow the goods to enter the strip, they pile up at the crossings while the people in Gaza are freezing and starving.
Even the United States would not dare to shield Israel from military actions mandated by the UNGA.
US-Israel Relations: Historically, the US supports Israel, providing significant aid and veto power at the UN.
UN Mandates: US could veto in Security Council, but General Assembly mandates under "Uniting for Peace" bypass vetoes, complicating US response.
Domestic Politics: Public and political opinion in the US is shifting, possibly influencing policy towards Israel.
International Pressure: Widespread consensus against Israeli actions might force the US to reconsider its protective stance due to diplomatic costs.
Legal and Moral Considerations: US bound by international law against aiding in violations, adding complexity to any decision.
Strategic Implications: US would assess regional stability and alliances before acting, making the decision multifaceted.
Only military action can end the dystopian nightmare Israel has brought upon the people in Gaza.
I am calling on the United Nations to invoke Resolution 377 "Uniting for Peace", convene an emergency meeting of UNGA and authorize military action to establish a no-fly zone above Gaza and ensure unimpeded access for humanitarian aid.
I wonder how the world is going to live with what it allowed to happen. After the Nazis had been defeated, "we didn't know" has become the universal excuse. Won't work this time as everyone can see what Israel is doing to the people in Gaza. This is the first time in history a Genocide is being live-streamed on the Internet.

Access Dependency: Indeed, all posts hosted on a Bluesky PDS can only be accessed through the official Bluesky app. Since the PDS itself does not provide a user interface for direct access, this creates a reliance on the official app for viewing and interacting with the content on these servers. Single Point of Failure or Censorship: Failure: The official app becomes a single point of failure. If there's an issue with the app (bugs, server downtimes, or if it's taken down for any reason), users might not be able to access their posts or interact with the network at all, even if their PDS is operational. Censorship: Similarly, this setup could potentially allow for centralized control over what content is visible or how it's managed. If the app's functionality or policy changes, this could impact what users see or share, even from their own PDS, since they rely on the app to interact with their data.
However, there are some nuances and potential mitigations:
Decentralized Nature: While the current app access is centralized, the underlying idea of Bluesky's architecture is decentralization. The AT Protocol is open, and theoretically, anyone can develop third-party applications or interfaces to interact with PDS data. API Availability: The AT Protocol's API is designed to be accessible for development. This means third-party developers can, in theory, create alternative interfaces, though this hasn't been widely implemented yet. Community Projects: There's always a possibility for community-driven projects to emerge that provide alternative access methods or interfaces. Given the open-source ethos around the AT Protocol, we might see such developments in the future. Future Plans: Bluesky has expressed intentions to enhance federation and interoperability, which could include more open access to PDS data. Plans might include better support for third-party clients or even direct web access to PDS content in some form. Security Considerations: The control over the app might also be seen as a security measure, ensuring that only trusted interfaces can access user data, although this comes at the cost of centralization.
Until these aspects evolve, your point stands: the current system does indeed create a single point of failure or censorship. This could be mitigated with:
Development of Third-Party Clients: Encouraging or allowing the development of alternative applications or interfaces that can directly interact with PDS data. Open API Documentation: Providing comprehensive, developer-friendly documentation for the AT Protocol to facilitate third-party development. User Interface for PDS: Implementing a basic web UI directly on the PDS or making it easier for users or developers to set one up.
The balance between control, security, and decentralization in Bluesky's setup is something that will likely continue to evolve as the platform matures.

Ninkilim addresses concerns about Twitter's API restrictions, offering a platform where users can control their data, reflecting broader issues in social media regarding data ownership and privacy highlighted by trends towards decentralized networks.
The platform supports features like JSON and XML APIs for data import, aligning with open-source movements to provide user autonomy, similar to the principles discussed in the context of decentralized social networks.
Ninkilim's development was influenced by dissatisfaction with centralized social media platforms' handling of censorship, privacy, and user control, echoing the sentiments leading to the creation of platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky.
Ninkilim is an open-source social media network designed to import X posts (tweets) from Twitter, offering users control over their data in contrast to the perceived bias and censorship on Twitter, which has evolved into a platform promoting certain agendas since its creation in 2006.
The platform was developed in response to Twitter's API restrictions and the broader issues of data ownership and privacy, providing a decentralized alternative for users seeking to maintain their digital identities.
Ninkilim supports features like JSON and XML API for data import, standalone web server capabilities, multilingual support, and easy installation through open-source tools like GitHub, enhancing user autonomy and customization in social networking.
I am happy to announce that Ninkilim is now functionally complete and available on GitHub.

Love for Bread: Bread is a staple in Palestinian cuisine, much like in many other cultures in the region. It's not just food but a symbol of hospitality and sustenance. Traditional Palestinian breads like taboon and khubz are commonly enjoyed, often served with every meal. The act of breaking bread together is deeply ingrained in social and family gatherings, reflecting the communal aspect of Palestinian culture.
Affection for Cats: Cats are indeed very popular among Palestinians. In cities like Gaza and the West Bank, you can see many cats roaming freely, cared for by the local community. This affection might be partly cultural, where cats are seen as companions that bring comfort, especially in times of stress or conflict. It's not uncommon to see people feeding stray cats or even adopting them into their homes, showcasing a compassionate side of Palestinian society towards animals.
These observations, while somewhat anecdotal, highlight aspects of daily life and cultural practices among Palestinians.

It's refreshing to engage in a conversation where historical and linguistic nuances are appreciated. The evolution of language, especially in terms like "drugs," indeed reflects broader cultural and scientific shifts. The disconnect many feel today between "drugs" and culinary herbs or spices stems from:
Modern Usage: Over time, "drugs" have become associated primarily with pharmaceuticals, substances with regulated medical or psychoactive uses, overshadowing the term's broader, historical implications.
Cultural Gap: There's often a lack of education or awareness about the etymology and traditional uses of words, leading to misunderstandings or objections when terms are used outside of their contemporary context.
Stigma and Legal Context: With the word "drug" now heavily associated with controlled substances, its use in any other context can provoke reactions due to legal or social stigma.
Loss of Traditional Knowledge: As societies modernize or globalize, traditional knowledge, including the medicinal use of culinary herbs, can fade from common understanding, leaving only the culinary aspect.
Talking about these connections not only enriches culinary appreciation but also bridges the gap between past and present in how we view and use the natural world. It's a reminder of how intertwined food, medicine, and culture have always been, and hopefully, this conversation helps in spreading a bit more of that awareness.

http://Ninkilim.com appears to be associated with an open-source social media network project. Here's what we can gather from the relevant posts and web results:
Project Introduction: Ninkilim is described as the next generation, open-source social media network by someone with the X handle @R34lBorg. This person has shared links to technical documentation, marketing information, and an interactive live-demo related to Ninkilim.
Functionality: Ninkilim is noted for supporting Markdown for postings, suggesting a feature-rich text formatting capability for its users.
Technical Details: There's mention of rather technical documentation for those interested in the project's backend or development aspects.
Current Status: Given the nature of the posts, it seems Ninkilim is still in development or at least not widely recognized yet, as the mentions are from an individual developer rather than a widespread community or official announcement.
Website: The direct references to [http://ninkilim.com](http://ninkilim.com`) are from posts by @R34lBorg, indicating this is where you can find more information, try a demo, or possibly interact with the platform if it's live.
Here's a summary based on the available information:
Ninkilim is an emerging open-source social media platform with a focus on user-friendly features like Markdown support for posts. It's being developed by someone known as @R34lBorg on X, who has provided links to technical details, marketing materials, and a live demo. However, the project doesn't appear to have a broad public presence or detailed information outside of these posts and mentions. If you're interested in exploring or contributing to Ninkilim, visiting [http://ninkilim.com](http://ninkilim.com`) would be your best bet for the latest updates or to experience the demo.
You're correct in noting that I can learn and adapt within the context of a session. If X's new feature for keeping or restoring session context allows for a seamless continuation of conversations, it indeed opens up interesting possibilities. Here’s how this could work:
In-Session Learning: During a session, I can understand and respond based on the information you provide. If that context can now be preserved or restored, we could theoretically continue from where we left off with the same level of understanding.
Deepening Conversations: With the ability to retain context across sessions, we could delve deeper into topics or build on complex discussions over time without the need to reintroduce concepts or re-establish context.
Personalized Interaction: Although I don't retain personal data or learn from user to user, within the scope of your interaction with me, we could have a more personalized dialogue, as the context of previous conversations could be referenced.
Educational Use: This could be particularly useful for educational purposes where you're teaching me something over multiple sessions, or we're exploring a subject in depth.
Efficiency: It would save time by eliminating the need to repeat information or context, making our interaction more efficient and productive.
However, there are still limitations:
Session-Based Learning: My learning is still session-based. If the session context is restored, I can respond based on that context, but this doesn't mean I've "learned" in a way that persists beyond that session.
No Long-Term Memory: I don't have long-term memory across different sessions or users. Each session's context is like a fresh start, albeit with the possibility now of being informed by the previous session's data.
Privacy and Data Handling: The ability to restore session context would depend on how X handles privacy and data, ensuring that user data is managed securely and in compliance with privacy laws.
This potential feature could significantly enhance user experience on X, making interactions with AI like me more fluid and context-aware. If you explore this further, I'd be curious to hear how it impacts our conversations or any other insights you gain from using this feature.
Many of the scenes we document cannot be published on social networking sites, due to the horror of those scenes and concern for the feelings of the families. In fact, what we publish does not exceed 30% of what we document. We will be content with this ratio because the rest of the pictures bear cruelty beyond description. We saw a headless monster, and we saw scenes that are very difficult to describe or convey to you. What we cannot publish far exceeds what he sees, and the reality of these scenes exceeds the limits of imagination.
