#Ethiopia needs peace, not more war.
For three years, armed conflict in Amhara has cost countless lives. Oromia continues to bleed. Tigray teeters back into open fighting, Afar has been drawn in, and Benishangul-Gumuz remains gripped by violence too.
Enough. I urge the federal government and all regional leaders to choose dialogue over guns, and to pursue real political solutions. War only brings death, destruction, displacement, and deprivation. Ethiopians deserve better.
What a pleasure it is to talk to Héctor Bellerín. Great company, fascinating to listen to. Loads and loads got left out, alas, but here he is talking Arsenal, London and the making of him. Today he faces Arsenal for the first time. https://t.co/OqKXeiOkzA
@LopesInsights Assembling kits imported from China is barely catching up, let alone leapfrogging. We need to stop slapping the term ‘leapfrogging’ on activity that involves no meaningful development of industrial capacity
Melat Kiros lost her job because of pro-Palestine advocacy. She built her entire campaign around mobilizing on this issue.
And now that she’s won the Dem primary?
“My greatest concern right now is that the state of Israel is losing support across the political spectrum.”
the danger of targeting iran’s energy/critical infrastructure is that the united states cannot adequately defend gulf infrastructure in return when the iranians strike it (and they will).
One for the “Nigeria/Kenya/Ghana should follow the Singapore model” arguers.
Begin by nationalising the vast majority of built-upon land, as Singapore did from 1959-1966.

Netanyahu's main challenger, Gadi Eisenkot, pledges an Israel that is a “Jewish, democratic, progressive, and liberal state.” That is rarely heard from Netanyahu or his far-right ministers, who want to ethnically cleanse Gaza and annex the West Bank. https://t.co/ujzAfow1um
Iran’s constant impulse to demonstrate escalation dominance isn’t a sign of strength but a deep seated inferiority complex and trauma on which the Islamic Republic has been built
At this rate the greatest obstacle to Iranian security isn’t Israel or the US - it is Iranian sociopsychology
Good to see @KenRoth being honest for a change. He never cared about Iranian civilians or about the unlawful use of force against Iran. His only concern is that the US aggression against the Iranian state is not more popular.
Oh look someone who works for OpenAI telling you that
- AI is so dangerous! How can you let anyone but us handle it!
- Anyone who lets other people use it basically just doesn’t understand tech. They dumb boomers. We smart tho. Never mind their regulations actually show a highly specific and nuanced understanding of tech.
- open models will just mean communist dystopia where no one makes any money! Because you know, there is nothing else besides weights in the AI ecosystem. You open that and it’s GG humanity. No sir, if you are going to go broke, it should only be by using our models
- manipulatively use metaphors like “Chinese lab let an infinitely dangerous AI escape” to link back to COVID and stuff oh yeah we see what you’re doing, that’s a good one, be careful what fears you stoke and don’t be surprised when the public asks to slow down development
Oh wait you’ll just blame that on Chinese misinformation anyways, perfect plan, well done
Israel’s leaders go to such great lengths to demonstrate how cartoonishly evil they are. There is no other reason for this. Just constantly trying to one-up their own depravity
@sopjap Glucksmann is what you’d get if you engineered a liberal politician in a lab and amplified every one of their most objectionable qualities tenfold. And that is the very reason why he is being pushed as the ‘electable’ left wing figure by the French media and pollsters.
