They call it carpet bombing because the slogan is easier than watching the opening seconds of the tape. This is declassified aerial footage from the first days of the war. In the first few seconds the drones catch Hamas rockets leaving a residential block. The white streaks are outgoing fire, not incoming. Then the aircraft hit the ground those rockets just left. The impacts are discrete. The neighborhood is still there around the smoke. That is not an area weapon walking street by street until nothing remains. That is a launch site being answered in the same grid it was fired from. Hamas put the tubes between houses on purpose. The accusation that follows is always the same. Israel is leveling a city at random. The tape says the opposite. The fire started from those roofs and courtyards, and the strike went back to the place the fire came from. If you want to keep the carpet-bombing line after this clip, you are not arguing about targeting. You are arguing against the picture.

There’s no good kind of Christian Nationalist. Are you looking to get lumped into a label with those people? The mass media will call you that and then associate you with all the worst CN crap
Top 10 signs you may be dealing with the bad kind of Christian nationalist: 1. His X bio contains both “Christ is King” and “Heritage American,” plus at least one symbol you have to Google. 2. Calls everyone else a coward from behind an anonymous account whose profile picture is a medieval knight staring heroically into the middle distance. 3. Tweets like he’s been asked to write dialogue for the villainous duke at a Renaissance faire: “The hour grows late. The sons of the West must remember their inheritance.” 4. Uses “Christendom” in ordinary conversation with absolutely no hint of irony. 5. Is deeply suspicious of “the Jews,” but becomes extremely offended if you notice that he is deeply suspicious of the Jews. 6. Has somehow turned opposition to DEI into a passionate commitment to racial demographics, bloodlines, ancestry, and making sure everybody stays in their assigned ethnic lane. 7. Says “democracy” with the same facial expression most Christians reserve for “prosperity gospel.” 8. Believes women voting was the beginning of the end, yet spends six hours a day arguing with women on a platform owned by Elon Musk. 9. Hates Neil Shenvi with the fire of a thousand suns for the unforgivable crime of being conservative, Christian, intelligent, somewhat brown, and insufficiently interested in becoming a 14th-century warlord. 10. Borrowed identity politics wholesale from the left, changed the villain, and crowned the white male the new most-oppressed demographic.

Imagine a group of powerful, well-connected anorexics gather and formulate a plot to reject the psychiatric framing of anorexia and turn their illness into a healthy identity. They make it discrimination and bigotry to call anorexia a mental disorder and frame access to liposuction and Ozempic as medically necessary and a human right. The whole world goes along with this. In the field of anorexia-affirming care, an anorexic receives immediate affirmation of her anorexic identity and unfettered access to the weight-loss medical treatments that her disorder demands. No psychotherapeutic attempt is made to loosen the grip of the belief. Then, instead of measuring success by objective outcomes such as physical health and quality of life, researchers in the field opt for self-report: in other words, after giving the anorexic the very treatments that her disorder compels her to seek, the researchers ask her if she is happy. When she says yes, this confirms that Ozempic and liposuction are beneficial and appropriate treatments for anorexia. That is the medical world’s current approach to managing the trans phenomenon.

🚨HUGE BREAKING UPDATE - 🚨The holdout juror broke his silence by speaking with an INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST, Fugitive TV Podcast, this evening! 👏👏👏 HERE IS A FULL DETAILED WRITE-UP. The holdout juror is NOT an immigrant. According to marriage and divorce records, he married a Haitian immigrant. She was illegal. He did not know this when he married her. He did not show his face. He is keeping to himself since his name was doxxed on X. His life has been threatened, and people have stalked his house. NBC Boston did not give you the full story. Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn’t want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen. The incident with the nephew - according to the juror, there is a lot of information that many do not know. For example, the nephew is 6-foot-2, and Michael is only 5-foot-7. This obviously does not give anyone the right to hit anyone. But I think it is safe to say that we do not know all of the facts of the matter. Michael stated the truth will come out. None of this matters when it comes to what happened in the courtroom. He filled out his paperwork appropriately. He did not lie on his paperwork. He was asked if he had ever been arrested, and he checked the box “yes” and afterward had to describe what happened. He even took the stand, and the prosecutor asked him questions. He was questioned about his past arrest. He was then selected. I would like to make it very clear that this is something that happens with all of the potential jurors present. Which means that the jurors who have already been interviewed could have said this at any point, but they chose to keep that information from the public. Michael told Fugitive TV that from day one, eight of the jurors automatically wanted to go for not guilty. The eight jurors were “activists,” according to Michael. He said every day they voted, and the eight who were convinced that she was not guilty were doing their best to convince the other four that she was not guilty. At the very end, it was him and another juror. She was also voting guilty. At the last minute, she caved. He said he knew she was guilty based on the EVIDENCE. He was open about what he believed and what he said. He said the other jurors are telling half-truths or just outright lies. He’s never been convicted of a crime. His past should not matter. He said that the entire time, his ex-wife was just trying to get status and citizenship to live in the U.S. Michael said that the report on him that went viral, where they said they spoke with his family members, did not report exactly what was actually said. He said that the family members they spoke to were likely family members of his ex-wife, and he does not even speak with them. Therefore, they cannot know what actually happened in the jury room. Who DID NBC Boston speak with? According to Michael, it was not one of his own family members. Michael stated that he believes he’s being targeted because he is a Republican - a Black Republican with conservative values. He believes that he was on a juror panel with a large number of Democratic voters. And he knows exactly what’s happening right now, and I think that you all do as well. A Black Republican stood his ground. It is not surprising that he is now being dragged through the mud. This is a very bad precedent for people who will serve on a jury in the future for a national case. No one wants to do this when, based on their decision that they say is based on the evidence, they are crucified online for their political beliefs. You have all seen it. You have seen the threats that I get on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what this man is going through. But for now, I stand with the Black conservative Republican juror. Link in comments👇

👀 Dr. Zubin ‘ZDogg’ Damania Says He Has Been Too Critical of ‘Anti-Vaxxers’ “I've been very absolutist, early on before COVID, about vaccines … Really stupid sh*t I said because of the conditioning … but I realized how incredibly wrong that way of talking is because when my kid was ready to get the the whole series, I was sitting there going, ‘Oh man, this emotionally doesn't feel good’ … There's no vaxxers and anti-vaxxers. They're just people trying to do the right thing for themselves and their kids.”

To try and translate: "AI" companies create their own racetracks (harnesses/desktop GUI or server applications) for you to drive their cars (models) on, so: -This isn't unprecedented, there have been previous 100% race scores using custom reactracks -OpenAI got their 98% race score using their custom racetrack, so this isn't even that much better -Driving the racecar on standard racetracks yielded about a 60% score (which is a decrease that a customized racetrack could reliably overcome) -"AI" at this point is still mere Inference (super sharp guessing), not really even close to AGI. I hope that analogy works lol
