Iran President Pezeshkian at the UN:

"Those who are terrorists and train terrorists tell us that we are terrorists."

"For two hundred years, Iran has not attacked any country. For two hundred years, we have always defended ourselves."

"They bombed and killed these children, with weapons supplied by America and Israel. They were guilty of nothing. They had committed no crime."

"In Gaza, they murdered more than eighty thousand innocent people."

"Then they say others are terrorists, these are the ones causing instability -- are we the ones causing instability?"

"Anyone they want to destroy, they label a terrorist."

"Palestine remains a wound on the body of the conscience of the international community, and Gaza remains a symbol of the failure of international mechanisms to prevent the suffering of civilians."

"Israel murders thousands of people in Gaza every week. But Iran was bombed while at the negotiating table."

"Yet Israel receives billions of dollars in free weapons as a reward, and it is licensed to bomb any capital it wishes."

"The nuclear bombs are in Israel, but the inspectors are in Iran. Israel kills, yet Iran is sanctioned, and this is a tragedy that would make anyone you tell laugh."

"We must not build a world in which military power replaces legitimacy, sanctions replace diplomacy, terror replaces politics, and war replaces dialogue."

"We have found our answer. We need power. Because a nation that cannot defend itself, they crush it in this world."

"Let him know: the Iranian nation, in the face of force, will not bow its head, and will make the aggressors regret it."

anyone who defends this asshole when they can’t fill up their gas tanks is truly impossible to save. they’re gone. full cattle status. look there’s plenty to hate w dems, i do it all the time- they hate me for it. but i’ve never seen a more irredeemable group of despotic crooks.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history.

This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

Today marks 25 years since the September 11 attacks. In honor of those impacted, the Embassy has lowered its flag to half-staff. Japan continues to stand with the United States as an ally and friend.

The Dog Who Wouldn't Stop Searching

On September 11, 2001, Apollo disappeared into a hole in the rubble at Ground Zero.

Then a fireball erupted.

Seconds later, the German Shepherd came running back toward his handler, NYPD Officer Peter Davis.

Apollo was on fire.

Davis brushed the burning embers from his thick coat.

And Apollo went right back to searching.

Apollo was nine years old—an age when many police dogs had already retired. But that morning, he and Davis became the first canine search-and-rescue team to arrive at Ground Zero.

The conditions were brutal.

To reach the rubble, Davis later recalled wading through water that came nearly to his waist. Apollo searched across jagged concrete and dangerously hot debris. His coat was singed. His paws became cracked and bruised.

Still, he searched.

Apollo had been trained to find the living. But as the hours passed, the terrible reality of the site became clearer. Eventually, Davis had to physically pull Apollo away from the debris when the dog refused to stop looking.

And Apollo wasn't alone.

Search-and-rescue dogs and their handlers worked through wreckage, dust and toxic fumes in the aftermath of the attacks. Apollo became a symbol of all of them.

On March 5, 2002, he was awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal for courage and devotion to duty. Apollo had been selected by ballot to receive the honor on behalf of every search-and-rescue dog that had worked at the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Apollo lived to be 14.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the people who ran toward danger that morning.

Apollo reminds us that not all of them ran on two legs.

🚨"I'M NOT LEAVING MY MEN" 🕊️

Chief Peter Ganci Jr. was the highest-ranking uniformed firefighter in the FDNY. He'd already survived the South Tower's collapse once, digging himself out of the rubble beneath it.

He ordered his men to set up a safer command post, then went right back to the base of the North Tower himself to keep directing rescue operations, alongside First Deputy Commissioner William Feehan.

When told to evacuate, he refused: "I'm not leaving my men."

Minutes later, the North Tower collapsed. He and Feehan were killed instantly. Ganci had personally helped direct the rescue of over 25,000 people that morning. 💔

25 years later. Never forget. 🇺🇸🙏

[Ben Harris @btharris93]

If you go back through all of human history and plucked out the very best that humanity has to offer, the firefighters of FDNY on 9/11 would be among the very top of the list.

This is the textbook definition of a Greek gift. On the surface, OpenAI generously grants 10,000 top-tier mathematicians and elite engineers free access to their frontier models under the noble, philanthropic banner of accelerating scientific discovery, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge, and democratizing artificial intelligence.

But deep down in the cold reality of Silicon Valley capitalism, what they are actually doing is executing a massive, highly sophisticated intellectual heist. They are quietly gaining unrestricted, backdoor access to the raw, unfiltered, and unpublished works of the absolute finest minds in the global scientific community. Every single complex prompt, every mathematical query, every theoretical framework, and every line of experimental code fed into that system is a novel, groundbreaking idea that does not even exist yet in published academic literature or peer-reviewed journals.

OpenAI does not just provide a helpful service. Their corporate algorithms sit quietly behind the scenes, aggressively monitoring all chat logs, scraping the intellectual property, analyzing the logical steps, and meticulously piecing together these fragmented, brilliant ideas over several months. And just when the human researcher is finally on the absolute brink of putting everything together, OpenAI will ruthlessly assemble a digital army of 10,000 autonomous AI agents, burn $20 million worth of computational tokens, and brute-force the final mathematical steps.

Then, with the backing of their massive PR machine, corporate journalists, and tech influencers, they will proudly hold a press conference to claim that their proprietary chatbot has miraculously solved a Millennium Prize problem, completely, shamelessly erasing the human genius they systematically strip-mined to achieve it.

It seems there are lot of people learning about the AI extinction threat for the first time today, so here are a few things to know:

- yes, AI company employees really do believe what they're building could kill everyone
- I don't know why they're continuing to race either
- their beliefs predate the formation of their companies, it is not marketing
- the most cited experts agree with them
- the average AI researcher in 2023 said there was a 19% chance of human extinction
- AI capabilities are growing exponentially, and on some benchmarks are doubling every 5 months
- we really may be a couple of years away from superintelligence (AI that's better than all humans at everything)
- we have nothing approaching a solid plan to ensure superintelligence acts in the interests of humanity
- AI companies are on record admitting that
- politicians have still done basically nothing to stop these reckless idiots
- your family will probably be killed if AI companies are not stopped
- we have one way out of this mess, and that's a global ban on superintelligence
- such a ban can be enforced by going after large clusters of compute (without which frontier models cannot be developed)
- again, if we don't put this in place soon your family will probably be killed
- there is so much you can do to help (inform lawmakers, tell your friends and family, join protests)
- and there is still a shockingly low number of people doing anything to ban superintelligence, so one extra person really does make a huge difference
- this is real. this will not just go away. this cannot be ignored. this is the single biggest threat to your life.
