Can’t emphasize how much I’d rather read a rough but raw message/email/etc vs something perfect but soulless generated by AI. At this point I welcome spelling or grammatical errors in things I read…
People are letting AI write their wedding vows, love letters, parents’ obituaries, kids’ birthday cards… Such a powerful loss to self and community when people relinquish the truth of their own words and voices to become epiphenomenal vessels for computers to talk to each other.
I’m sure humiliating and mocking flotilla activists plays well with Ben Gvir’s extremist base…. But the international reception will be considerably colder.
Finally, someone is talking about the Iraqi shepherd who discovered a secret Israeli military site in Iraq’s desert and was hunted down and killed by Israeli forces, who sent a helicopter after him and opened fire until his vehicle burst into flames.

CHW has determined that the Armenian Genocide memorial in Stepanakert/Khankendi has been destroyed. Erected on the 100th anniversary of the 1915 atrocities, the white marble bell tower once housed a reliquary containing human remains from Der Zor—the Syrian desert town where hundreds of thousands of Armenians perished. Satellite imagery from Airbus and @Planet shows that the monument, as well as an associated memorial complex, were destroyed between July 14, 2025, and April 25, 2026. 1/5
Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.
On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.
As predicted, the Holy Mother of God Cathedral in Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh, has been demolished.
It was both a place of prayer and a shelter when the city was being bombed. I remember the last baptisms and weddings here during the NK's blockade in 2023.
"We are not vandals like you," Azerbaijanis say about Armenians, showing the Armenian Church in Baku. After 2023, they also published photos of Stepanakert's church: "Here is your church, it is standing as you can see, here are your crosses and dome." However, it turned out that they could not resist. Let's assume that demolishing the parliament building is okay, but why demolish the church when there is so much talk about peace?
P.S. Maybe the fact needs to be verified, but the shared photo leaves no doubt that it was indeed demolished. However, Azerbaijan do not publish much videos from Nagorno-Karabakh, except for what they want to show.
Absolutely catastrophic for American men. If you are a sports better break away immediately. It is not worth it. You will not win it back. You will not beat the house. You are being exploited.
UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year.
Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.
Israeli settlers are putting massive rocks so that ambulances cannot aid the Palestinians in tonight's pogrom.
This is what the Zionist government protects.
Lebanese medics are adopting strategies as they know they are targets:
— Not seeing family or friends so that if they are bombed, they don’t take their loved ones with them
— Reducing team sizes
— Sleeping in ambulances far away from each other so a single strike doesn’t kill them all
