Who is currently in control of Gaza?
@WhiteHouse @BoardOfPeace @POTUS @grok @grok What is the remit of the โ€˜Board of Peaceโ€™ ? Image
@WhiteHouse @BoardOfPeace @POTUS @grok @grok

The โ€˜Board of Peaceโ€™ would need access to Gaza and either the cooperation of Hamas or Hamas to be removed from the equation to carry out any real life plans for Gaza?
Is that correct?

"should we read" fracas just reminds me how uncomfortable people are with the idea that there are better and worse avocations, obsessions, and reasons to live. none of us will achieve perfection, but we can aspire to more than "pile up ever more money."
yes, like (probably) you, i have to spend a lot of my time working to stay alive. some of us have far less leisure than others, and nobody is judging anyone for that. but nobody is making *any* of us valorize the work and wages as the only sphere of serious reality!
perhaps "we cannot will what we will," as schopenhauer had it, but i think we can aspire to value better things. we can try to fill our leisure (whatever we have of it) with beautiful aesthetic experiences, with challenges, with things that expand and open our minds.

Russian drone operators are using Belarusian civilian infrastructure to attack #Ukraine โ€” and even test routes toward #NATO countries.

Ukrainian hackers infiltrated their systems for 6+ months. Hereโ€™s what we uncovered ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡Image
2/ Hacktivists from Fenix Cyber Analytics Center, supported by InformNapalm volunteers, broke into accounts of dozens of Russian UAV operators.

They gained access to:
โ€ข #drone route planning software
โ€ข live operator chats
โ€ข real-time surveillance feeds

And monitored them 24/7...Image
3/ Intercepted chat, Sept 25, 2025:

โ€œDrone ะซะซ12057 normal takeoff at 11:08 in the direction of Chernihiv.โ€

#Belarus was used as a relay zone to expand strike capabilities against northern #Ukraine โ€” from Kyiv to Volyn.

This was systematic.Image

My friend @camedwardbenton asked all 4 frontier AI models to rank each other across 15 real-world tasks.

Claude 4.6. GPT-5.2. Gemini 3. Grok 4.1.

What they agreed on is useful.

What they disagreed on is fascinating. ๐Ÿงต Image
First โ€” every model cheated.
GPT ranked itself #1 in 10 of 15 categories. 67%.

Claude claimed 9. Gemini claimed 5.
Grok? Only 3 out of 15.

If rankings were objective each model would claim ~25%. Nobody was close.

But Grok losing on purpose might be the smartest move in the whole experiment.Image
Strip away the self-promotion and real consensus emerges.

These 6 categories had clear winners that even competitors agreed on.

When a model ranks its rival #1, thatโ€™s signal you can actually trust. Image

Tirana - The Beginning (Day 1 & 2)

We landed in Tirana on a cold December afternoon, collected our rental car at the airport, and drove into a city that felt both unfamiliar and strangely welcoming. It was much more metropolitan than we had expected it to be - a sweet surprise to begin with!

Dinner that night was at a small Turkish diner. The adana kebabs were so authentic that they transported us back to Turkiye. So authentic!Image
Image
The next day, we wandered without hurry. Tirana is colourful, expressive. Its buildings are weirdly shaped and painted in bright hues, its strrets and cafรฉs bustling with Paris-like vibes!

We had reserved a table at a well-known Italian restaurant. The pizza was perfect, the raki homemade and strong, and the tiramisuโ€ฆ rightly said to be the best! The kind you wish would never end.Image

Mike Huckabee says there were only 34K Christians in 1948 & now, there are 184K because Israel protects them

He cleverly OMITS a fact

The reason the Christian population dwindled down to 34K is because Israel ETHNIC CLEANSED 1.1 MILLION Palestinians in 1948
