One day

[The Icahnist @TheIcahnist]

Get in loser,

we're shipping 2 million barrels of A-Light through Hormuz.

Time to unpack the old sanction-busting playbook.

[Aragorn_leZ @Aragorn243]

@RobKleintb @HormuzLetter Yes Iran probably had these capabilities hidden for a last push before the midterms to increase the electoral pressure

Christian nationalism defends the powerful.

Christianity defends the powerless.

May we understand the difference.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

It is a broken Christianity that desperately looks for Jesus returning in the clouds but refuses to recognize him in the faces of the poor, the sick, the homeless, the immigrant, the bombed, the starving, the marginalized, and the oppressed.

Vous voyez cet homme ? Il s'appelle Ibrahim Traoré, Président du Burkina Faso. En France, il est décrit comme anti-français parce qu'il a rejeté la Françafrique et s'est rapproché de la Russie. Écoutez ce qu'il dit. Quel patriote français serait contre ?

The administration’s achievements in Venezuela and Iran may have set back China’s invasion of Taiwan by years, if not indefinitely. We’ve drastically curtailed the energy independence, power projection capability, and alliance networks they would have relied on to cripple our response in a major conflict. Trump and Rubio have quite possibly prevented WWIII.

There’s something about the frenchs (naturalised and by blood) and the spirit of war…

The details about this whole story are insane;

> Be french legion corporal José Olger Melo Charry
> kidnapped by FARC during summer holidays
> waited patiently 1 month before trying to escape
> asked one of his jailers to take him to take a dump
> overpowered the guy, took his weapon and jumped into a river
> all with his hands still tied
> then untied his hands
> walked for 4 days
> severely dehydrated
> had to hide every time a vehicle passed nearby
> also ate a meal with a peasant at one point even though he was scared of getting snitched to the FARC afterwards
> Somehow manage to still reach an hospital in Colombia and is now safe

[ 🇫🇷 FRANCE | 🇨🇴 COLOMBIE ]

🔸 Ligoté pendant près d’un mois par des dissidents des ex-FARC, José Olger Melo Charry, caporal colombien de la Légion étrangère française, a maîtrisé son gardien avant de lui prendre son fusil et de se jeter dans une rivière, les mains toujours liées.

🔸 Après s’être libéré de ses liens, il a marché seul pendant quatre jours dans les Andes colombiennes, se cachant à chaque passage de moto, avant d’atteindre un commissariat à Policarpa. Durant sa fuite, il est également parvenu à contacter sa famille.

🔸 Les guérilleros le considéraient comme un « gros poisson » mais n’avaient pas réclamé de rançon. Le militaire avait été enlevé le 6 août alors qu’il était rentré en Colombie pendant sa permission, sans l’autorisation du ministère français des Armées.

As Von Neumann said about Oppenheimer’s performative angst over the atomic bomb:

“Some people profess guilt to claim credit for the sin.”

Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

Pour ceux qui douteraient encore de ce que, parmi d’autres, je dis , avec tristesse, depuis le 8 octobre 2023: « Benjamin Nethanyaou est, avec les terroristes du Hamas, responsable du massacre du 7 octobre. Il est un criminel de guerre qui ne mérite que la prison.  »

In 2014, a Congolese man in the tiny village of Kasulo, near the town of Kolwezi in Southern Congo was digging a hole in his backyard for the construction of an outdoor toilet. About 8 feet deep, his shovel struck a slab of a strange grey rock.
