Trump and Kushner are planning what they call the Riviera of the Middle East on the rubble of Gaza.
170 luxury towers. Hotels. Villas on the waterfront. Data centres. Advanced manufacturing.
A deregulated Special Economic Zone with favourable tariff rates.
Gaza's two million residents to be relocated. At least temporarily. In exchange for digital tokens.

Al Jazeera's professor of architecture called it the Vegas-ification of Gaza.
The plan treats Gaza, in his words, as vacant beachfront property.
It is not vacant. It is cleared.
There is a difference between vacant land and cleared land. The plan does not acknowledge that difference. Neither does Burnham.

One of the most exhausting parts of creating content in Lagos isn’t the filming. It’s dealing with touts who show up the moment you set up a camera.

🧵Before Ukraine replaced its top general, Russian state media made a bizarre public plea to Kyiv:
"It is difficult to find someone worse... So, let him stay."
Ukraine fired him anyway. The revised Russian review came in five words: "And this is bad for us." 1/🇺🇦⬇️🇷🇺🦩🧵

The general Moscow wanted to keep was Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi. Russian war bloggers openly celebrated him as the Ukrainian equivalent of Gerasimov.

Just saw Nolan's the Odyssey. Incredible film. It really is an epic. There's one thing that I don't like about it that I think is a reflection of our world and particularly family life.

At the end, Odysseus sets Telemachus up on the throne and then falls off with Penelope to the utter West to offer sacrifice for his dear comrades
What bothers me is that Odysseus doesn't stay longer to set things to right in his kingdom or to instruct Telemachus. He just sets his son up and leaves.
Full transcript of Wenfeng's investor conference call. He's a lot more forceful here. He is insistent that open sourcing is *the* agenda. If you're not on board, go buy more Zhipu.
And crucially, he says restraint is *the only way to survive*. World-eating labs will be culled.

Wenfeng's specific notion of "reasonable profit": recouping the cost of compute acquisition within 10 months. He has that now.
That's really pretty low! I could see them doing more, but all sorts of inefficiencies add up.

@Citrullin @LefterisJP @griffgreen @ChrJentzsch the human quantum model is great for economists, and accurate in its wave collapse analogy. but the system is too chaotic to measure accurately unless constrained by amygdalic inputs. which is how this platform and others like it work.

@Citrullin @LefterisJP @griffgreen @ChrJentzsch when you discuss L2s, the current state is not the envisioned state or the final state. but in all states, L2s and L3s are *clients* of the L1. and so settlement is indeed probabilistic, L3 to L2 to L1, *probabilistic* finality all the way down.

This is where we are going. A thread.
The anatomy of Qatari foreign influence (per Alan Bender & Imam Tawhidi, 2019) operates in a 6-part cycle:
1️⃣ Capital injection
2️⃣ Proxy placement
3️⃣ Intelligence extraction
4️⃣ Legislative influence
5️⃣ Media cover
6️⃣ Whistleblower targeting
Protecting the "capital loop."

In a November 27, 2019, livestream broadcast from Budapest, Hungary, Imam Mohammed Tawhidi—widely known as the “Imam of Peace”—made explosive allegations about foreign interference in American institutions.
One of the biggest reasons hearts become hard, It isn’t always major sins.
The answer might surprise you.
The answer might surprise you.
A hardened heart doesn’t happen overnight.
It happens little by little.
A prayer rushed.
A Qur’an left unopened.
A reminder ignored.
A sin repeated without repentance.

Allah says:
“No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts because of what they used to earn.” (Qur’an 83:14)
Every sin leaves a mark on the heart.
But every sincere act of repentance polishes it again.
