Just days after a Molotov cocktail was hurled at his San Francisco mansion—and right on the heels of shots fired at his residence—OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dropped a 13-page manifesto calling for a 4-day workweek at full pay, a public wealth fund handing out universal basic income, and beefed-up universal healthcare.
Nothing says “we’re all in this together” like dodging firebombs and bullets one week, then prescribing how the little people should spend their extra AI-powered leisure time the next. 😂
Welcome to the official “War on the Rich” era! The pitchforks are out, the cocktails are lit, and the billionaires are suddenly very into sharing their wealth.
The irony is chef’s kiss.💋
Today was one of the most horrifying days of my life as an academic. Walking through Iran University of Science and Technology, a top-ranked public university in Iran, I was struck by the devastation. Only last month, this campus was alive with students, bustling between classrooms. Now, parts of the campus lie in ruins, classrooms shattered, hallways choked with dust and shattered glass.
I saw the offices of professors burned. A newly renovated building, where students gathered for programs, for socializing, for life, destructed.
One student, tearfully, told me: “My professor’s office was still burning a little. That’s where I used to wait for office hours. To ask questions. To appeal my grade.”
This is the same university that launched Iran’s Omid and Zafar 2 satellites, symbols of homegrown technological achievement. A week ago, one of its professors was assassinated. Yesterday, they bombed it.
From sanctions to targeted killings, to the bombing of research centers and universities, there’s a clear pattern: de-development & de-industrialisation/ the systematic dismantling of a nation’s indigenous development, its industrial base, its capacity to stand on its own.
We will never forget that as the American and Zionist war criminals blatantly target universities, schools, hospitals/ assassinating professors and killing children, and after 2 years or genocice, western intellectuals are still debating whether or not to pass a symbolic, non-enforceable BDS resolution.
Photos taken by me, full report incoming.
Lebanese infant Hasan Salah Siddiq is among six civilians killed in the Israeli attack on the town of Al-Saksakiya, southern Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Health.
Due to Trump and the U.S. intentionally blocking oil from getting to Cuba doctors are having to manually operate ventilators in order to keep babies alive. The United States is committing yet another genocide.
