Friends, the problem of statistics is that even if they worked (they don't), whatever is derived statistically ONLY applies to groups never to single individuals.
You are not hiring a subcontinent, but a single individual. Variance determines the max.

IMPORTANT.

A CNN journalist witnessed Israeli settlers abduct and blindfold a Palestinian farmer for refusing to leave his land, as IDF soldiers stood guard.

He was later shot, while the IDF blocked the road to prevent anyone from coming to his aid, making sure he would die.

Israel’s National Security Minister arrested two Palestinians for celebrating their wedding today:

This is Zionism

This is nauseating.

You can be pro-meritocracy or anti-immigration, but you can't be both.

“Why do Palestinians teach their children to hate Israel?”

They don’t. Generations of Palestinian children have been taught to hate Israel by Israeli soldiers just like these ones.

[liam cunningham @liamcunningham1]

This is Zionism, this is AIPAC, this is Israel.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Israeli Jewish society is the most genocidal society in the world.

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

Exactly. They are on and the same thing. You can’t be against settlers and with Israel. Israel is a settler state. Now, the heart of darkness.

LIVE FOOTAGE: Jews attack Christians in Jerusalem while yelling “Jesus is son a of wh*re.”

W to the Christian at the end for fighting back.

Last night Apple briefly removed Telegram from the AppStore because a user had planted illegal porn in a public chat.

Telegram was restored within hours. But I want to explain what happened — to warn other app developers and help protect online communities from similar attacks.

Because Telegram quickly removes illegal content from public groups using all kinds of moderation tools, the attacker had to resort to a technical trick. He inserted AI-modified illegal content by editing an old message in an active group chat. As a result the content was effectively hidden from the group’s members, preventing them from seeing/reporting it.

The attacker was a takedown extortionist: someone who demands ransom from group owners in exchange for not targeting their communities. These extortionists use automated accounts to plant illegal content in public groups and then report it directly to Apple, attempting to trigger the removal of legitimate communities whose owners refused to pay them.

From a practical standpoint, illegal pornographic content in Telegram’s public groups is not a systemic problem. Our moderation is effective. The fact that attackers must resort to backdated, effectively invisible content and other technical tricks proves this.

⚠️ However, there are two important lessons here for app developers and online communities:

— Extortionists have found a way to manipulate Apple into overreacting. Apple removed Telegram from the App Store before contacting us. This creates a potential systemic risk for every mobile app that hosts user-generated content. If an app used by more than a billion people can be removed from the App Store without prior warning, any app can be.

— The tactics used by takedown extortionists are evolving, putting communities across social platforms at risk. Telegram has extensive experience identifying the tricks used by coordinated reporting gangs and protecting legitimate communities (even when doing so risks our own app being temporarily removed from the App Store). Other platforms may not be equally prepared.

Stay vigilant! ☝️

Bro defeated AIPAC... holy shit.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Once again Buttigieg gives the most vapid, cowardly answer on Gaza humanly possible. He centers antisemitism, makes zero mention of the spike in Islamophobia/anti Palestinian racism, spouts empty ‘Netanyahu Bad’ cliches and refuses to commit to any material pressure on Israel.

Another rushed slop album with 20+ tracks. Sneak dissing, complaining about women and how the industry against him. This dude been trash for a decade

Are you one of those who ‘won’t say anything’ ?
Silence is complicity.
They treat it as approval.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

If you are actively ignoring someone, you are not ignoring them.

[liam cunningham @liamcunningham1]

This is Zionism. This is AIPAC. This is Israel.

0.8% of Londoners use Arabic as their main language.

A total of 1.6% of London’s population is of Arab heritage.

What's going on here?

Israel's strategy is to whip up anti-migrant hatred in the West to bolster pro-Israel far-right parties.
