What do you think happened in our culture, independent of technology, that caused teenage self esteem and self harm rates to spike and time with friends to fall off a cliff, at the exact same moment as the adoption of the smart phone?

I was always stunned by the lunacy of the Abraham Accords from an Emirati perspective.

The UAE's conflict with Iran is far more resolvable than Israel's conflict with Iran. By joining the Abraham Accords and explicitly becoming a member of Israel's anti-Iran bloc, the UAE essentially attached itself to Israel's conflict with Iran - even though Israel is 1000 miles from Iran, while the UAE is only 50 miles from Iran's shores.

The UAE made itself a frontline state in Israel's fight with Iran.

Abu Dhabi is now paying the price for this mistake. Geography is ensuring that the key decisions are made elsewhere - while it pays the highest price.

Kurdish militias, among other ethnically aligned groups, have called for secession in the past. With the prospect of a potential Kurdish-led operation against the regime, I argue why that's unlikely.

Al Jazeera don't sugercoat anything bra, I appreciate how much they believe in just giving people straight up factual news.

It appears that a Polymarket account called "Magamyman" made $515,000 in a single day betting on last night's U.S. strike on Iran, with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly.

When this person bought in, the market had this at a 17% probability. They turned roughly $87,000 into over half a million dollars overnight.

Reminder that Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket's advisory board and his firm invested double-digit millions into the platform last year. The DOJ and CFTC both had active investigations into Polymarket that were dropped after Trump took office.

Prediction markets cannot be a vehicle for profiting off advance knowledge of military action.

We need answers, transparency, and oversight.

For almost a week, scenes of violence familiar in Northern Ireland have been a stark warning of the fragility of a peace process that is under growing political and sectarian strain. Some participating in the riots are as young as 13. https://t.co/3sU8BnyWST

Companies and politicians claim that they have opportunities to make investments in new technologies and plants that would lead to better jobs and higher pay for workers. But claim they wouldn’t be able to afford to do it with overbearing corporate taxes. https://t.co/IU2MYJaLur

“Reps. Cannon and Erica Thomas came down, and Park knocked on the door. She didn’t bang on the door.”

Behind that door, Gov. Brian Kemp, alongside six white lawmakers, signed what critics say is a new era of voting restrictions, writes @neonflag. https://t.co/tuX5N2AHWo
