Israel just committed a horrific massacre in northern Gaza, killing 84 people, including 50 children, after Israeli forces bombed residential buildings.
84 people, 50 children.

84 people, 50 children.

Is anyone going to ask Trump if he is going to back Israel militarily in the war they're starting with Iran? And is he going to make America pay for it? This seems to be an enormously relevant question. Almost weird that no one is asking.

Now that Yahya Sinwar has been killed, all of the Hamas leaders who carried out Oct. 7th are dead. Hamas is obliterated. So, there is no conceivable reason for Israel to continue the operations in Gaza. If they do, you'll know this was never about self-defense. It was about land.

It's so sad that we're in the year 2024 and so many people still see the world through a tribal lens. The idea that the creator of the universe favors your religion or ethnicity is comically irrational. Or that your race or nationality is somehow superior to others is insanity.

The question might seem trivial, but give it a moment’s thought:
Why does Venice 🇮🇹 float?
What does it rest on?
And, most importantly, why doesn’t it sink?
A Thread🧵 to explain it to you

What’s your secret to an enjoyable life in 10 points?
Mine in no particular order:
1. Exercise as often as possible
2. Eat and drink healthily but also sometimes eat and drink what makes you happy
3. Be somewhere beautiful as often as possible
4. Breathe clean air as much as you can
5. Play musical instruments everyday
6. Read books that make you feel something
7. Listen to music that feeds your soul
8. Value knowledge, never seductive ignorance
9. Call out injustice
10. Love and be loved

The risk posed by AI deep fakes goes far beyond identity theft and false pornographic videos. What might happen if AI began deep faking our economic system or even money itself?

Researchers have discovered that some populations of monkeys have entered the Stone Age.
They have started using stone tools to break nuts and shellfish, making them a further type of primates to do so after us.

In 1960, David Latimer planted a spiderwort sprout inside of a large glass jar, added a quarter pint of water, and then sealed it shut.
He opened the bottle for the first time only 12 years later, in 1972, to add some water and then sealed it for good.
The self-contained ecosystem flourished for more than 60 years as a perfectly balanced garden and self-sufficient ecosystem.
The bacteria in the compost ate the dead plants and broke down the oxygen released, turning it into carbon dioxide, essentially forming a microcosm of Earth.

No crime, no matter against who, by who or where on earth it happens, justifies the killing of others who had nothing to do with it, let alone 1000s of people who had nothing to do with it. Thousands of kids have been blown to bits. Shame on anyone trying to distract from this.
