We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
​Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.

​Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.

​The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.

I am not joking when I say this.

Traditional game development is over.

I asked Opus-5.5 to make Attack on Titan in Minecraft. Took ~1hr and cost less than $25 start to finish.

The end result is extremely fun. And multiplayer!

Israel’s New – and Terrifying – Security Doctrine

by Trita Parsi | Oct 13, 2026 | News | 0 comments

Reprinted with permission from Trita Parsi’s Substack.

If you read one thing today, make sure it is this:

In a stunning piece published by the head of one of Israel’s most prominent think tanks, Maj. Gen. Tamir Hayman describes the reality of Israel’s new security doctrine:

A few crucial principles he describes:

1. The United States is a “declining power” and, given its ongoing social and political shifts, will soon abandon Israel in any event. This is compelling Israel to move toward greater self-reliance in order to avoid “excessive dependence” on the US since it “exposes Israel to the influence of a progressive American value system that is incompatible with Israel’s Jewish character.”

Then he concludes: “Severing ties with the United States is therefore not only inevitable, but essential to Israel’s independence and the resilience of its Jewish national identity.”

2. Primacy of Jewish Identity over Democracy: The state’s Jewish identity takes precedence over its democratic system of government.

3. Peace as a Means Rather Than an End: “A meaningful peace agreement is unattainable in the Middle East, as peace agreements are merely technical and temporary arrangements requiring constant reassessment. According to this view, peace is not an intrinsic value that generates security, but a means of achieving other policy objectives.”

4. “Rejection of the Independent Existence of Arab States: The underlying premise is that most Arab states are not genuine nation-states, but collections of tribes and ethnic groups lacking a shared history and a foundational national vision. Consequently, undermining their stability is viewed as a natural process, one that Israel can manage more effectively than it can contend with strong nation-states, and one that it should even encourage.”

5. “War as a Foundational State: War is essential to national security and cannot be replaced by a state of peace, which, as noted, is merely a means rather than an end…. War is necessary, and preventive war is preferable because it secures a significant achievement at the outset.”

6. “Absolute Priority for Initiative and Offense over Defense: Preemptive, surprise strikes are viewed as the only way to achieve victory, giving offense precedence over defense.”

And there’s more.

Important to note that Hayman does not advocate for this. Rather, he contends that this already is the new security doctrine of Israel.

He is describing reality as he sees it. And that reality simply is not compatible with a US or Western alliance with Israel – unless the West transforms into a similar entity that treats war as a permanent and desirable state of being.

💧 For years I was brought up in the Netherlands being told we had the "best tap water in the world"

"The Americans are silly for buying bottles of mineral water, you can just drink from the tap!"

I remember the same sentiment with my German friends

When I stayed at the VOCO hotel in The Hague a few months ago, there were no water bottles but a paper note saying "Do like the locals do! Drink from the tap"

Now it turns out Dutch tap water is and probably was full of toxic chemicals and plastics

Today actually we finally installed a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system in our home (or well the plumber did) by Waterdrop (unaffiliated, unpaid, recommended by Claude)

RO seems to the best and most pure water filtration system out there

I will let you know how the coffee tastes tomorrow with it! 😋

Rome handed out free grain to 40,000 citizens in 73 BC. By 46 BC, Julius Caesar found 320,000 people lining up for their monthly ration. That eight-fold expansion happened in under three decades, and it shows you how welfare states actually grow.

No Roman senator stood up and announced a plan to addict a third of the city to government bread. It happened incrementally, through political competition. Each magistrate who wanted votes expanded eligibility. Each expansion normalized the next one. The citizen who once considered the dole shameful eventually expected it, then demanded it, then organized politically to protect it.

This is the core mechanism free market thinkers have identified across every era: once you create a transfer program, you create a constituency for that program. Recipients vote. Administrators build careers. Grain merchants who supply the state develop a stake in keeping the contracts flowing. The political economy locks in.

Caesar, to his credit, actually cut the rolls back to 150,000 through verification audits. It was one of his more economically coherent moves, though the Senate still murdered him. His successors quietly let the numbers climb again.

What did the dole require? Massive grain imports from Sicily, Sardinia, and Egypt, organized through state logistics at state expense, funded by taxation and conquest. When the conquest revenue dried up, the obligation remained. Rome had written a check against future military success, and future military success eventually failed to arrive.

The lesson is not complicated. Distribute a benefit and you distribute dependency. Distribute dependency and you distribute political power to whoever controls the distribution. The grain dole didn't weaken Rome overnight, but it made every subsequent reform politically impossible.

هذا هو الشكل التقريبي الحقيقي لكوكب الأرض، ويُعرف علميًا باسم “الجيويد” Geoid.

فالأرض ليست كرة مثالية كما تُصوَّر غالبًا، بل لها سطح غير منتظم قليلًا يتأثر بتوزيع الجاذبية وكتلة اليابسة والمحيطات وما يوجد في باطنها.

والجيويد هو الشكل الذي تحدده جاذبية الأرض؛ أي أنه يمثل السطح الافتراضي الذي سيكون عليه متوسط مستوى سطح البحر لو لم تكن هناك رياح أو تيارات بحرية أو مدّ وجزر.

وتظهر في هذا الشكل نتوءات وانخفاضات بسبب اختلاف توزيع الكتل داخل الأرض، لكن يجب الانتباه إلى أن الفيديوهات أو النماذج التي تعرض الجيويد غالبًا تبالغ في الارتفاعات والانخفاضات آلاف المرات، وقد تصل المبالغة إلى 10,000 مرة حتى تصبح الفروقات مرئية للعين.

أما في الواقع، فهذه الفروق صغيرة نسبيًا، وتدور تقريبًا حول ±100 متر فقط.

لذلك يُعد الجيويد من أدق النماذج المستخدمة في القياسات الجيوديسية وحساب الارتفاعات، لأنه لا يعتمد على الشكل الكروي المثالي، بل على مجال الجاذبية الحقيقي للأرض.
