This was one of the most amazing things I saw at the Seattle Asian Art Museum recently—this cube of intricately cut metal, lit from within, that turned the whole room into an artistic interplay of darkness and light. Casting all the visitors into the installation; shadows on the walls.

Olive groves burned, cars torched, children shot dead — Israel’s armed forces and violent settlers are mercilessly attacking #Palestinian communities daily and forcing them from their homes.

Sickeningly, travel giant Booking.com is listing holiday destinations on this stolen land and taking a cut from every stay. It’s clear: Booking.com is enabling a war crime

The NY Times has a blockbuster story here: Epstein got valuable inside information from the first Trump administration and fed it to a wealthy foreign customer of his sex-trafficking racket.

Why did people despise Apartheid South Africa? Because the Western backed government:
•Annually killed hundreds of Indigenous with impunity, including children
•Annually took at least 10K+ hostages, including 1000+ children
•Stole Indigenous land and built hundreds of thousands of illegal homes
•Enforced separate facilities for the "racially inferior" Indigenous

And guess what?

Israel does ALL OF THE ABOVE, and now also passed a law that kills Palestinians only by hanging. Israel Is Apartheid.

The gap between what artificial intelligence promised and what the battlefield delivered has become the defining scandal of the Iran war.

AI-powered targeting systems generated over 1,000 strike coordinates in the first 24 hours.

AI simulations projected rapid regime collapse.

AI logistics models forecast a 12-hour securing of the Strait of Hormuz.

None of it happened as predicted.

Thirteen American service members are dead,
over 200 wounded,
oil has breached $120 a barrel,
and the regime in Tehran
— far from collapsing
— has installed a new supreme leader and triggered nationalist rallies
rather than the pro-US uprising planners had expected.

A growing body of evidence, drawn from leaked planning documents, academic research, and the testimony of intelligence professionals,
suggests that the most consequential military operation of the twenty-first century
may have been shaped less by strategic necessity than by a phenomenon researchers now call
AI sycophancy
— the tendency of large language models to tell their users exactly what they want to hear
