Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

The United States has killed more people in your lifetime than every Muslim country on Earth combined.

Eid Mubarak!

Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.

I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.

Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.

Jewish troops will be looking for Muslims hidden in the attics of Christians. Let that sink in.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

He went from this tweet to New York Mayor in 4 years.

Proof that tweeting non sense is a valid career path.

Heartiest congratulations and Mazel Tov to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

NYC Jews are not going anywhere.
We are not 'fleeing'.
We are not in danger.
We are here to stay in our beloved NYC.

Congratulations Mr. Mamdani on an historic win!

To all Zionists out there: Our sincere condolences.

Have they tried releasing the hostag-…

Oh.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

1. Israelis have families, but Palestinians apparently don't.

2. Israelis are named as Israelis, but Palestinians are just "people".

3. It's apparently a conflict, not an occupation, siege or genocide.

4. Israeli soldiers enforcing a murderous siege on Gaza are apparently hostages, not prisoners of war.

5. Bothsidesing the perpetrators and victims of a genocide.

You are toxic, Mr. Obama, one of the greatest disappointments of our generation.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

Woke up to news of three horrible terrorist attacks:

1) An assailant killed 2 at a Synagogue in Manchester
2) The Israeli government murdered 45 in Gaza.
3) The Israeli government murdered 2 in Lebanon.

The 1st terrorist was killed. The remaining terrorists are still at large.

Farewell?

He didn't have a heart attack. He didn't die of old age.

He was killed by Israel.
