Listen to this woman.

She is brilliant.

I’m not usually affected by the deaths of people I don’t know personally, but this one hurts.

Chess Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky has passed away, aged 29.

I never met him, but I’ve spent hundreds (maybe thousands) of hours watching his videos. I got back into chess during the Covid lockdowns, and I wouldn’t have fallen in love with the game without his generous, witty, and instructive lessons.

A history graduate from Stanford, Naroditsky was the most articulate and lucid commentator and teacher in chess. He was rare: a Twitch streamer and YouTube creator without a hint of ego. Everything he did was in the service of the game he loved.

He knew how to instruct weaker players like me. Commonly in his videos he’d say “you might be tempted to play…” followed by the exact terrible move I would have played, and then he’d explain why it was so bad.

I hear his voice and his idioms in my head when I play: is the opponent’s threat genuine or only a “paper tiger”? Can you set up a defence so that the opponent’s attack is “biting on granite”? Can you see a follow-up to your “sexy move” or have you succumbed to “onemove-itis?”

I’ll never be able to play as well as he did, but his videos always gave the impression that, with enough patience and effort, one day I might be able to.

It might be strange to have a teacher younger than you, but it’s even stranger to find out that he’s gone.

Remember Philip Larkin’s lines at the end of his poem “The Mower”:

"we should be careful

Of each other, we should be kind
While there is still time."

Memory eternal

@CLTchesscenter Heartbroken, as I'm sure many around the world are. RIP Danya.

Thank you @realDonaldTrump and @BringThemHome23. This wouldn't have happened without you. ❤️🇮🇱

At Glastonbury, amid the music and dancing, some festivalgoers made a powerful statement, waving flags calling for the return of Israeli hostages and honoring the victims of the Nova music festival massacre. And even among so many pro-terror partygoers and artists, their message of remembrance and resistance stood out. 🎗️🇮🇱

A missile struck just 150 m from my childhood home.
We hit regime & military targets. They target civilians.
This isn’t a “cycle of violence”, it’s a just war defending against a genocidal theocracy.

When Israel strikes terrorists hiding in hospitals after warning and evacuating civilians, the world cries war crime.

When Iran bombs an Israeli hospital full of civilians—justification.

“We need verification!” “We need context!” “They deserved it!” “Maybe there was a military base under?”
No outrage. No UN emergency session.

The double standard isn’t subtle.
It’s the point.

[John Aziz @aziz0nomics]

It's quite interesting to see how many people who claim to be against bombing hospitals are not actually against bombing hospitals if they are Israeli hospitals.

[Dennis Ross @AmbDennisRoss]

Sinwar & Nasrallahthought they knew Israel and were wrong. Khamenei thought a ring of fire around Israel would force its collapse. None of them understood Israel’s inner strength. Khamenei says Israel made a huge mistake in attacking but it is Khamenei who still doesn’t get it.

For two years, Jewish New Yorkers have endured weekly marches calling for their annihilation.

Zohran Mamdani wouldn’t stop this, he’d amplify it. He is no friend to the Jewish people and would be a disaster for NYC.

This headline says it all.

[Jonathan Elkhoury- جوناثان الخوري @Jonathan_Elk]

Two years of activism for Gaza.
A well prepared selfie March of 4,000 activists from 86 countries. Yet no one even checked where the fuck Rafah or even Gaza! Is located on a map.

This is what we have been saying all along. The “pro-Palestine” movement have no clue what they are talking about. And can’t even locate the people they claim to support on a map.

What an embarrassment.

How the fuck did we go from a Islamic terrorist killing 49 people at an Orlando gay bar to LGBT activists wearing Keffiyehs in under a decade? Someone please explain this to me.

[Lior Lanir @liorlanir]

A Persian king once saved the Jewish people. Cyrus the Great let them return & rebuild the Temple.

2,500 yrs later, Herzl dreamed of sovereignty—
& looked to Cyrus as his model.

The Islamic Republic has come to its end and is collapsing. What has begun is irreversible. The future is bright, and together we will turn the page of history. Now is the time to stand up; the time to reclaim Iran. May I be with you soon.

> This is what it looked like inside.
Civilian home. 5am. Central Israel.

[Lior Lanir @liorlanir]

My mother’s home was rocked at 5am by an Iranian missile.
Every window blown out. Doors ripped from walls.
This is what “restraint” looks like — when Israelis bleed quietly.
The world must not stay silent.
Iran cannot be allowed to go nuclear.

כמעט שנה וחצי מהאסון הכי גדול שידענו מקום המדינה, נשארנו עם אותה ההנהגה ועם אותם ראשי מערכות ביטחוניות.
מה ציפיתם שיהיה?
מזרח תיכון חדש?
כבר 15 חודשים אנחנו זועקים שבלי לקיחת אחריות ובלי הפקת לקחים האסון הבא הוא רק עניין של זמן
