With DeepSeek, investors are (re)learning that those who come up with an *innovative* idea are almost never those who will make money from it.
Eg: Clive Osborne made the first laptop computer & went bust. Same with car, planes...
Next: electric cars.

Even when the IDF assaults a NY Times reporter, the paper can't quite manage to write a headline that says who did it

JUST PUBLISHED: It has been the honor of my career to co-author "Queer, HIV+ and Running Out of Medication in Gaza" with @AfeefNess for @theintercept—a story about Palestine, AIDS, genocide, and an extraordinary survivor named E.S. Please read & share. https://t.co/T9S1i6rUFW

Al Jazeera photojournalist Fadi al-Wahidi is "fighting for his life" after having been attacked by an Israeli drone. His condition is deteriorating, say hospital staff, who do not have medication needed to treat him, but Israel won't let him be evacuated. https://t.co/l9yOz6r1iL

How to describe the refusal of Western journalists to speak out about the biggest slaughter of journalists in the history of human civilisation?

Damning. Racist. Nauseating.

You will never be forgiven. History will damn those who stayed silent - every last fucking one.

Earlier this morning I received very good news from DCF Desert National Park, Jaisalmer. He and his staff of @ForestRajasthan documented 12 #GIB in a single frame. Habitat conservation is key to revive this spp. Kudos to entire team of #DNP @orijeet @and_ecology @IUCNRedList

The problem of immigration is simply that once societies get rich, they don't like to clean bathrooms, collect waste, pick vegetables.

It is not because houses & lawns in the US are large that foreign labor is needed; they are large because cheap labor is available & addictive.

Exclusive — The luxury jet that landed in Juba was on a secret mission to pick up $25 million worth of smuggled Sudanese gold.
It was another sign of the wartime gold rush driving Sudan's brutal war, even as the nation slides deeper into famine. https://t.co/8GagWLs1Rr

SCOOP: Guardian editor Katharine Viner personally intervened to block a piece by a preeminent Palestinian author for describing Gaza as "the holocaust of our time". Meanwhile staff claim they are subject to a "double standard" on Israel & Palestine: https://t.co/oXy31RouNs

India, with 903 soldiers at risk in Lebanon, decides not to sign a letter by 34 countries in UNIFIL condemning attacks on its peacekeepers.

A clear departure from the time New Delhi used to be at the forefront in defending UN peacekeepers.
