Israel made peace with Egypt in 1979, and hasnโt attacked it since.
Israel made peace with Jordan in 1994, and hasnโt attacked it since.
Saudi Arabia never attacked Israel, and Israel hasnโt attacked Saudi.
Maybe Israel just defends itself against enemy belligerents.
Your first attempt might not be very good, but nobody's early work is good. There will always be a gap between where you are and where you want to be. And the bridge between that gap is courage. The courage to look foolish in the beginning. The courage to show up again when your early work is criticized. The courage to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I realize I'm not good enough yet, but the only way to get better is to keep working on it."

No brainer move for the Hornets. Operating with poise in the front office.
Ant & Melo will be fun, but feels like Wolves are just throwing shit at the wall at this point.
Anti-Israel.
Anti-America.
Anti-Western Civilization.
Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?
"Crypto" is going to zero. Bitcoin is going to 1M+.
I've been working on Bitcoin since early 2013 when it was ~$50. First it was going to zero because of Silk Road. Then Mt. Gox. Then governments were going to ban it. Then it was slow technology and it was going to be crushed by all of the other coins. Then Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX were sending it to zero. Now there are new narratives. New people that are far too levered, don't understand Bitcoin, but are somehow here to fix it.
Yet, somehow, here we are. A $1T asset.
Bitcoin has been the best thing I could have poured my life into over the last 13+ years. Meanwhile, trust in governments and their ability to stop destroying the people and their purchasing power has never been worse in those same 13+ years.
At the end of the day, my advice to you: the Bitcoin journey is a hero's journey. You kill your ego. You surrender the idea that you're the all-knower of the future, the main character, and important enough to matter to this thing. Bitcoin doesn't care what you think and it doesn't need your permission. You either have the balls to build conviction in it or you don't. You built Barstool, you know this. There is no free lunch. Nobody gets paid to show up when things are easy. Life isn't charity. Participation trophies are worthless. Those that end up getting paid do so because they build something that was simply too hard for others.
Nobody has to convince you of anything. You have to convince you. If you believe in the government and their ability to not print away your purchasing power, sell us your bitcoins. If you don't and you think Bitcoin is an idea worth believing in, have some guts.
Your choice. Bitcoin has been and will continue to be successful either way. It's on a journey of its own and it will be there for you whenever you're ready.
Mamdani-endorsed Aber Kwas won the Democrat Primary tonight for a State Senate seat in New York.
Here she is saying that 9-11 was America's fault because of our "system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and islamophobia."
How to succeed in the Democratic Party in 2026:
1. Be a Muslim or convert.
2. Openly declare that you hate America and want to destroy it.
3. Openly support Hamas.
Thatโs it.
Meet those three requirements and youโll automatically be considered a โprogressive.โ The new Palestine-first Democratic base will vote for you in droves.
I could be wrong, but Iโve seen this pattern too many times to dismiss it: women who liberal (in some cases very liberal) in their 20s become much more conservative once they had children.
Parenthood seems to change the political lens. Safety, schools, social order, community standards, and the future suddenly matter in a much less abstract way.
That shift is real, even if people donโt always want to talk about it. The same is true for my friends who became fathers.
