Al Jazeera appears to be interviewing Col. Sanders to get his views on Iran.

[World of Statistics @stats_feed]

A human brain uses 12-20 watts for core thinking while an AI system doing the same processing could use 2.7 billion watts.

This makes organic brains roughly 100–225 million times more energy-efficient than current silicon-based systems for full biological neural computation.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

The German FM puts forward two key policy reasons as to why Germany - for the first time - lost a bid for an elected seat on the UN Security Council.

Germany's support for Ukraine and its support for Israel.

Let's be clear: Germany's support for Ukraine had nothing to do with it. Portugal and Austria - who beat Germany - are no less supportive of Ukraine.

It has EVERYTHING to do with Germany's support for Israel's genocide and the manner in which the German government has been willing to undermine international law and the UN Charter on behalf of Israel.

Germany's blind support for Israeli crimes cost Germany its seat on the UNSC. As it should.

Number of people asking me to comment on the Henry Nowak case. His father said "We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension". If you can't respect his wishes, you're scum. That's what I think.

How is this not a SNL skit? How is this real? How can anyone with an IQ above 60 support this man or think he’s anything other than insane?

"I cooperated with the process & the process exonerated me."

In a world exclusive, ICC chief prosecutor gives Zeteo his 1st interview on the sexual misconduct allegations against him & the ICC arrest warrants he requested against Netanyahu.

I figured out the blackmail Israel has on Trump. He thought he was sleeping with Laura Loomer, but it turned out to be Larry Loomer.

Sean Hannity called himself “uniquely qualified” to lecture Pope Leo XIV on the Bible Thursday night.

Hannity called the U.S.-born pontiff a “run-of-the-mill Trump-hating Democrat that lacks moral clarity about radical Islam.”

Pope Leo XIV holds four degrees and a doctorate in canon law from the world’s most prestigious Catholic university.

Hannity is a three-time college dropout who publicly quit the Catholic Church. https://t.co/oOjBxhpOnb

Here's why sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz pose an enormous challenge

Iranian sea mines believed to be under the Strait of Hormuz are preventing the waterway from fully opening. Defence analyst @andreas_krieg explains why it will be exceptionally difficult for the US Navy to clear them.

Iran has successfully outsourced closure of SoH to the U.S. Now it is the U.S. vs the rest of the world. 😃
