@NicoSchermers we need a Stop de kindermoord campaign on Armenia.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.

In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.

On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.

@Scooter172 @bluehost @bluehostsupport @BluehostIndia @mattheaton no! they got back to me telling me they have erased it, and they have stopped responding to my emails. I emailed @mattheaton as well and nothing from his side either.

@nntaleb Professor @nntaleb , it gives me great pleasure to see you in Yerevan. I missed my chance taking your classes at Poly. Seeing you today at the press conference is amazing.

go bluejays :)

The EU should pursue deeper strategic engagement in the altered geopolitical landscape of the South Caucasus after Azerbaijan recaptured the Nagorno Karabakh. That’s the core argument of my new
@EU_ISS brief. You'll find it here: https://t.co/odbBUpqdLL.

The @sama-is-out press release hints IMO that they sacked Altman because he was running OpenAI too much like a startup and too little like a non-profit. Brockman stepping down from the board (or just from being chairman?) seems to tell the same story.

@lusine_djanyan Was my experience as well living in Stockholm. Before that grew up in NYC for 13 years. Had more direct incidents in Stockholm in 3 years than I had in 13 in NYC.

Here it is!

NASA's FIRMS fire monitoring map showing hotspots inside #Armenia's border, coinciding with areas targeted by #Azerbaijan. The map for 14 September appears a bit less compared to the previous, first day of military operations.

@inanosum lack of professionalism, lack of IQ, lack of EQ.

@simonforco This thread is insane.

Talking with a few exhausted soldiers in Bakhmut, just back from the frontlines. "We don't have any new weapons here, new forces, nothing," says one of them. Another, who fought in 2014: "I'm expected to fight a tank with my Kalashnikov. We're just cannon fodder. We're fucked."
