100 Israeli passengers vs One Muslim Pilot. What a completely disproportionate response from israel.

In 1995, a tiny stray kitten somehow got into the enclosure of a 560-pound grizzly bear named Griz at a wildlife rehabilitation center in Oregon, and because apparently kittens are born with absolutely no concept of reasonable risk assessment, he walked straight up to the bear while Griz was eating. The people watching were pretty sure they were about to witness the shortest friendship in history.

Instead, Griz reached into his food, pulled out a piece of chicken, put it down next to his paw, and let the kitten eat it. And that was basically it. The kitten, who was given the incredibly creative name Cat, apparently decided he lived with a grizzly now.

They started eating together, sleeping together and playing together, and Cat would even run up and smack Griz on the nose, while the 560-pound bear somehow understood that his roommate was approximately the size of one of his feet and reportedly backed off when their play got too rough.

Apparently bears are eligible for the cat distribution system.

Over a decade ago, one of the companies in our battalion had an NCO who told his wife exactly when they were coming home. She posted a countdown timer in a wives page.

When the battalion found out, they canceled their flight home and they got stuck in country for an extra week.

Everyone was pissed.

Remember: Poor choices can impact more than just you.

[MOMof DataRepublican @data_republican]

At the Texas Tribune Festival on Sept. 26 Karl Rove publicly listed Paxton's negatives. What kind of Republican does that in the mid-terms? A RINO. And Karl Rove is one of the first order! I urge you to not give Rove a moment of your consideration when he appears on Fox News with his stupid white board!

🔥🚨 BREAKING — America's MOST islamic city, Dearborn, Michigan, is being SUED for spending taxpayer money on Islamic holiday displays — and refusing Christian and Jewish ones

The police department sold Ramadan shirts.

Mayor telling a Christian pastor he’s “not welcome.”

That’s not diversity. That’s a city government picking a winner with tax money.

America is not Europe. Don’t import the two-tier holiday calendar. Islam has NO PLACE in Western society.

@Sassafrass_84 She doesn't need to leave Texas to get a d&c after a miscarriage. Either stop lying or become educated about the real law instead of what people lie about.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

I try never to judge another’s faith—that’s for God to do—but if James Talarico’s pastor says she doesn’t believe that Jesus existed or that Jesus died for our sins…

…then that “pastor” is not a Christian.

She’s just a left-wing activist.

The Greenland security deal spreads the US footprint beyond Pituffik (the Space Force base formerly called Thule) to Narsarsuaq in the south — year-round runway plus deep-water port — and Mestersvig in the northeast, home of the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol. Three allied bases beat one lonely Thule. Arctic access without the invasion-vs-exit cartoon. Keep PRC and RU out of the approaches that matter for the GIUK gap (Greenland–Iceland–UK).

Reuters/Ipsos: 73% say AI firms aren’t doing enough to prevent disaster; 55% say slowing would be good vs 13% bad; 73% prioritize safe and responsible vs 23% staying ahead globally — and most want a major federal role. The public wants safety plus competence. Federal clarity and paid-for infrastructure beat a vague “slow everything.”

[Kevin Carder @Kcar64]

A proposed Northern California class action alleges Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and Google illegally agreed to slow AI after Amodei’s Sep 12 essay — harming paid subscribers. Individual safety work is fine. Collective restraint is the alleged Sherman Act shortcut. Hawley won’t give frontier labs an antitrust exemption to collaborate. If pacing is a cartel, open CapEx competition is the pressure valve — not a secret club.

It has now been confirmed that the Islamic regime in Iran has murdered at least 100,000 civilians, half of them under 18, whose sole crime was protesting for freedom.

Macklemore and Ms. Rachel haven’t said a single word.

Weird.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide.

3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.

Anthropic and OpenAI are shopping smaller 20–30 MW data-center deals — megawatts are units of power capacity — while mega campuses hit land, grid, and community delays. Speed to usable capacity isn’t surrender. It’s how you keep shipping when the giant site is stuck.

[Kevin Carder @Kcar64]

A Microsoft exec’s unsealed memo called AI scraping “the largest theft of labor in human history.” Sticky quote. Adult fix: paid licenses and provenance — who made the data, who paid for it — not a civilization pause. This is what is behind the AI companies oush for regulation, they want to get out of the consequences

[Kevin Carder @Kcar64]

House Speaker Johnson just rejected an AI moratorium — “lose the edge to China.” Same week, Europe’s von der Leyen talks pacing frontier models, and Huawei forecasts AI agents will be most of the network traffic by 2035. Pace isn’t stop. China isn’t pausing. Receipts are factories and power plants, not a press conference.

[Kevin Carder @Kcar64]

The U.S. is weighing buying frigates from Japan and South Korea (± Türkiye) while China’s yards surge. If the fleet is too small, buy proven ally hulls now and stand up U.S. yards next. China’s shipyards won’t wait for our PowerPoint.

Once gas comes back down soon... the simple fact is... President Trump has done better than any president in our lifetimes, overall. 🇺🇸💪🏻

And given the worst of circumstances.

Let's vote Republican in November to allow him to finish the job. 🇺🇸✊🏻

He needs to run now while he can without losing 50 percent.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

A guy in our circle makes a good living. He's been dating a girl for three years, and she expects a $15,000 engagement ring. He told her he’s only comfortable spending $4,000 because they want to buy a house soon.

She told him that settling for a cheaper ring means he doesn't value her, and she’d rather wait another year to get engaged until he can "afford it."

Are engagement rings the ultimate financial scam, or is he being cheap with the one piece of jewelry she has to wear forever?

[Kevin Carder @Kcar64]

If what you mean is he successfully weaponized the bureaucracy against conservatives and ran up huge inflation numbers. And presided over the collapse of our borders.

Sarah McBride- Joe Biden has accomplished more in four years than most presidents accomplished in 2 terms.
