Why Qatari, Sheikh Jassim's ownership is the best thing that could happen to Manchester United.

Points 1-10, lets get it!

[Pierre-Eliott Lallemant @pierreeliottlal]

We went from 0 to 2,200 paying customers in under a year by following @ycombinator's 15 rules:

1/ Do things that don't scale. Get your first 10 customers by hand.

2/ Launch now, not when it's "ready". A mediocre product in front of real users teaches you more in a week than 6 months of polishing in the dark.

3/ Charge from day one. If nobody will pay, you don't have a startup, you have a hobby.

4/ Talk to users every single day. The roadmap you need is sitting in your customers' heads, and they'll hand it to you for free

5/ Always hunt the 90/10 solution. For almost any feature there's a way to capture 90% of the value with 10% of the effort.

6/ There are only two real jobs: write code and talk to users. Everything else (conferences, press, VC coffees, corp dev calls) is fake work.

7/ You pick your customers as much as they pick you. 10 users who love you beat 1,000 who kind of like you.

8/ Growth is an output, not a strategy. Grow before product market fit and all you're buying is churn.

9/ Do less, really well. Pick one or two metrics and judge every task against them.

10/ Know if you're default alive. Paul Graham's question: on current growth and current burn, do you reach profitability before the money runs out?

11/ Don't hire until it hurts. Headcount is not progress, it's burn. Every great startup was embarrassingly small for embarrassingly long.

12/ Momentum is the only real moat in year one. Ship something every week, even something tiny.

13/ Every great startup is badly broken at some point. The game isn't avoiding fires, it's how fast you put them out. Again. And again

14/ Ignore your competitors. Startups die of suicide, not murder. In year one, the only company that can kill yours is your own

15/ Startups rarely die from running out of money. They die because the founders fall out. Brutal honesty with your cofounder is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy

Good luck !

The more Netanyahu prevents the war with Iran from ending, the more obvious it becomes that he convinced Trump to start it.

Another Lebanese Christian family massacred by Israel. Theodosia and Tony Karam were killed with their father James Karam in southern Lebanon when an Israeli drone targeted their car. The family is from Qlayaa, the same town where Israel killed the priest weeks ago.

Children terrified as I$rael bombs the Jabal Amel hospital in Tyre, another war crime committed with Western supplied weapons with total impunity

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🔴 NEW: An Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in Adoussiyeh, south Lebanon, killed a couple and left their young child wounded and bloodied, and crying beside their bodies, according to local reports and footage from the scene.

Journalist Hadi Hoteit said the strike hit near Ghaziyeh, between Sidon and Tyre, in an area many residents believed was safe.

Kids are being pulled from the rubble as I$rael strikes their homes in Tyre district, southern Lebanon during a so-called ceasefire

Whatever happened in Washington on Thursday and Friday, this is the reality on the ground. For I$rael it’s a case of you cease, we fire

massacre tonight in the Gaza Strip. They are trying to recover the body of a boy who is under the rubble after the indiscriminate bombing by the Israeli terrorist army

Este año no estaremos en Eurovisión, pero lo haremos con la convicción de estar en el lado correcto de la historia.

Por coherencia, responsabilidad y humanidad.

WOW!

@Theintercept reviewed more than 12000 print articles and 5000 TV segments to check for biases on Israel-Palestine.

I thought it would be bad.

I had no idea it was THIS bad.

No wonder Gaza killed what little credibility mianstream media had.

In NYT, Israel's right to defend itself was invoked 99 times. Only once for Palestine.

On CNN and MSNBC, it was invoked 755 times for Israel. But only 8 times for Palestine.

Emotive words such as slaughter and massacre were used frequently when Israelis had been killed. They were NEVER used in print when Palestinians were killed.

In Ukraine, 262 children were killed in the war, and it was mentioned 4223 times.

In Palestine, more than 10,000 children were killed, but it was mentioned only 3632.

The full article is in the subtweet. It's a MUST READ:

Israeli settlers reportedly stole this man's sheep. When his 16-year-old son confronted them, an Israeli soldier shot the boy dead.

Our greatest ally did the same thing in Gaza, where it committed genocide.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO

This video grieves my soul.

America, how can we stay silent? How can we fund this?

Even more so, American Christians how can you turn your head and not care?

These are God’s children too.

The martyrs of Jibchit, southern Lebanon are laid to rest.

These images should shame the world
