I know it’s not cool these days to think of Day 2 consequences of military action, but let me take you on a journey that could unfold in Cuba where life is difficult and resources are scarce. Cuba is not a threat. Cuba in chaos is. #massmigration 1/
Mass migrations, the historical data shows, more likely occur during political destabilization rather than mere deprivation. Not always but more often. Cubans have been known, if you know history, to seek access to the US by water. 2/
It is a dangerous journey. People will die. I don’t know what resources we have put behind stopping it. A Navy ship isn’t as effective as smaller Coast Guard assets. So look for that in days to come. 3/
It’s quite weird to see how so many humans feel that machines are somehow the solution to everything or something that must be depended upon in it’s entirety or be rejected completely. Machines can never replace humans or carry humanity forward.
Human emotions, Art, Soul and their creativity, the uniqueness in which they try to express their consciousness and feelings, and most of all human connections, how can a machine ever carry something forward that it can never ever experience or create?
Can a machine ever become a substitute for a wife, a psychologist or even a friend? It may mimic them but can it ever become them? Can it ever carry the same depth and meaning these roles and relationships carry? No, it can not even substitute for these and yet
The iconic 'shark's tooth' peaks of Moorea like Mou'aroa (L below) and Mou'aputa (R below) are basaltic remnants of the caldera of the ancient shield volcano that formed the island. 
When the northern part of the island including the caldera's crater rim collapsed about 1.6M years ago, the caldera was flooded with 2 beautiful bays, and the vistas got even better. Sail-ins to Opunohu Bay (L) and Cook's Bay (R) are as beautiful as any in the world.
The collapse occurred relatively early in this young island's life, giving the island its distinctive heart-shaped contour. What a beauty.
Bolton: Ukrainian strikes inside Russia undercut Kremlin propaganda.
They show ordinary Russians the war is not going well — not only by causing real military damage, but by making the reality of the war visible on Russian territory. 1/

Bolton: Russia expected significant territorial gains this spring, and that has not happened.
If anything, Russia has lost territory in Ukraine. By August or September, Putin may need another plan because the current strategy is not working. 2/

Kasparov: Russian history forgives tsars and dictators for war, repression and violence as long as the state looks strong.
But a war that starts and is not won always leads to shocks. Eventually comes the phrase: the tsar is not real. 2/

According to Ibn Taymiyyah, the rational arguments for theism conclusively lead to a singular eternal God who exists beyond the material universe spatially and before it temporally, influencing it from above through His independent creative agency. (1/100)

Within this created universe, many forms of perfection that are definitionally praiseworthy in every respect, entailing no aspects of deficiency – such as power, knowledge, and life – are found to be physically possible, meaning that they are all the more possible in God. (2/100)
The Trump admin is quietly deleting info about the Capitol attack from the DOJ website as it prepares to give funds to J6ers. This week, DOJ deleted a press release about one man with an ongoing child solicitation case who came to the Capitol with bear spray. Before and after:
This press release was up when I last looked at it on Wednesday. The Website Archive has a saved version from last month.

The videos are , video 3 and 4, mostly covering structs, enums, pattern matching and collections.
both my videos are beginner-first and paced with the chapters of the rust book.

Virginia’s Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger started her term with some wins for working people. She signed a paid sick leave law, enshrined the right to contraception, fought for voting rights and more.
But now,Spanberger is vetoing numerous bills passed by the Democratic legislature that would improve the lives of working people across Virginia.

But now,Spanberger is vetoing numerous bills passed by the Democratic legislature that would improve the lives of working people across Virginia.
Thread.
Early in her tenure Spanberger made historic progress by delivering on her promises to make Virginia more affordable. During her first few months, she signed laws that:
-Allowed workers to accumulate 1 hour of paid leave for every 30 hours worked for a maximum of 5 days (or 40 hours) annually
-Secured Virginians’ right to contraception
-Capped out-of-pocket costs for a 30-day supply of insulin at $35
-Raised Virginia’s minimum wage to $15/hr
But when it came to unions, protecting immigrants, and more, Spanberger pivoted and dropped the ball.

But when it came to unions, protecting immigrants, and more, Spanberger pivoted and dropped the ball.
The biggest blow has been Spanberger’s veto of a bill that would have amended a Jim-Crow-era ban and expanded collective bargaining rights for the state’s 500,000 public sector workers.
Spanberger could have narrowed one of the nation’s largest public-sector pay gaps.

If true, it looks like Russian truck fuel logistics has completely fallen part on the Rostov-Dzhankoy highway.
This has a lot of strategic geo-political implications.

BOMBSHELL: EuroMed chief Ramy Abdu's brother is wanted by Italian authorities for his role in a massive Hamas fundraising operation.
The best part? Ramy himself is named in the court filing for some highly suspect reasons, as I'm about to show you. Let's dive in, shall we? 🧵
