A tradition in Damascus is that people don't ask, "How much is the Quran's price", when buying a Mushaf, out of respect, but rather say, "How much is the donation I should give you for the Quran", as they are paying for the printing services not the words themselves

[S2J News @s2jnews]

Kuwait:

A Kuwaiti woman expresses her anger about the presence of US occupation bases in her country and throughout the region:

"We don’t want them [US] here! What does it mean they 'liberated' us through America? By invading Iraq? They took their money, they took everything they wanted. Get them out!

If we stand as one, we’ll be the greatest power in the world. Everyone will fear us!

How long will you stay silent? How long will you lock your door and say 'I’m living in safety'? Your safety won’t last.
What happened to them will happen to us.

We are one Arab people—Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Morocco—all of us! Just wake up! Move already! Enough! Wake up! Move a little.

It’s a disgrace what’s happening. It’s against humanity and religion. I’ll set religion aside and say we are without religion—where is our humanity? Where are they? When will they move?

Every day another 'peace summit.' What peace? There is no peace anymore! We want our rights, and that’s it!"

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet.

1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output.

The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice.

Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet.

And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.”

This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one.

We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that.

The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

This is why LBC pulled Sangita's show, a brave journalist who will be remembered for being on the right side of history when it mattered.

Twitter Thread - Bias Detector
Tweet 1/8 , I built an AI tool to help people think critically about the news they read.
Introducing Bias Detector—an open-source system that detects bias, emotional manipulation, and narrative framing in text.
Here's why it matters 🧵

If true/confirmed, horrific and heartbreaking. He documented the genocide for two long years, while being smeared and lied about by pro Israel people. To be killed now, on the verge of a possible end to the genocide, so awful.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

Journalist Saleh Al-Jafarawi was kidnapped by Israeli backed gangs in Gaza City they fired 7 bullets and killed him while his only weapon was his camera.

He was smeared and targeted for two years during the genocide.

May his memory be blessed.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Saleh Al Jafarawi. Murdered today by occupation collaborating gangs in Gaza. He was so happy celebrating these last few days after two years of somehow surviving. Chosen for shahada, and we are the ones at loss. Rahimahullah.

[ONE @One_Dawah]

Please listen to and share his beautiful recitation of the Qur’an, as it may be counted as a sadaqah for him

May Allah grant him the highest level of Jannah

Meet Japanese chef Chikahiro Naoya. He's been holding a one man protest every week outside the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo, shouting 'stop the genocide and free Palestine'

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

There is no internet.
No signal. No sound. No world beyond this cage.

I walked thirty minutes through ruins and dust. Not in search of escape, but for a fragment of signal, just enough to whisper, “We are still alive.”

Not because anyone is listening,
but because to die unheard is the final death.

Gaza is silent now.
Not with peace, but with obliteration.
Not a silence of stillness, but of smothering.

They severed the last cable.
No messages leave. No images enter.
Even grief has been forbidden.

I passed the corpses of buildings, of homes, of men, some breathing, some not.
All of them erased by the same hand that erased our voices.

This is not a siege of bombs alone.
It is a siege of memory: a war against our ability to say, “We were here.”

The bombing never stopped, especially in Jabalia.
They shell the streets where children beg for food.
They shell the lines where mothers wait for flour.
They shell hunger itself.

No food. No water. No exit.
And those who try, those who reach for aid, are struck down.

People die here, and no one knows.
Not because the killing paused, but because the killing of connection succeeded.

The internet was our final breath.
It was not a luxury; it was the last evidence of our humanity.

Now it is gone.
And in the dark, they massacre without consequence.

I found this faint eSIM signal as a dying man finds a flicker of flame.
I stood beneath a broken sky, risking death, not for rescue, but to send this.

A single message.
A last resistance.

If you are reading this, remember:
we walked through fire to say it.
We were not silent.
We were silenced.

And when the cables are restored,
the truth will bleed through the wires,
and the world will know what it chose not to see.

A really crucial book for our times, gives a realistic perspective on the "ummah" as a political (dis)unity and its exploitation & manipulation by the superpowers for their own pursuits.

Focuses particularly on the Ottomon-European dynamic in the modern age as a case study.

[Husnain Bin Sajjad @husnayn_]

not for the kalimah.
for the flag.

not for din.
for the nation-state.

not for muslims.
for citizens.

the overlaps are merely contingencies.

the modern nation-state unfortunately prevails over all other identities today.

may Allah reward each according to their niyah.
