Your cheat sheet for Trump's Greenland triumph.

@FionaMullenCY How is the RoC to know of a birth in Kyrenia without some process being followed, that leads to citizenship being granted? To say that a group is treated as 2nd class one needs to point to a systematic flaw in the process.

Trump got military and substantial economic control over Greenland when no one was looking.

Dear Hussain, Islam's foundational tenets are perfectly incongruent with Western liberties AND not all two billion Muslims are set on individually conquering the world. Both of these two statements are true. You don't need to have 2 billion Muslims killing everyone in sight in order to recognize that reality about Islam. Hence, your "rebuttal" is as eloquent as my socks (perhaps less so). Criticizing Islam is not an anti-Muslim slur. A Muslim is an individual human being; Islam is a collection of ideas. Hope this helps.

A Muslim cleric given an award for "interfaith cooperation" by the Archbishop of Canterbury has called the October 7th Hamas attackers "freedom fighters", praised Osama bin Laden and said that men may have four wives. https://t.co/dGQb1zyhHy

I spent 20 years in syria, 14 of which were me and my family getting bombed daily

I watched the Christian ( Rūm and Syriac ) population go from 12% of the country to 1% ( literal ethnic cleansing ) and never saw a single post made about us

not one

It's really annoying that we keep finding Roman dodecahedrons scattered across the Mediterranean and we just have literally no idea what they were used for.

It's the 2-year anniversary of Mossad's pager detonation operation where they severely injured more than a thousand Hezbollah terrorists.

The most amazing detail of the whole operation is that Mossad did it in the best way possible:

With a bit of profit on every pager sold!

This is real.

@moderneuler @CptRexRepublic @nathancofnas @charlesmurray Christ was speaking literally when he said "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes."

Inscription of Emperor Romanos (II or III) from Tower 4 of the Theodosian Walls
+ Πᾶσι Ῥωμαίοις μέγ��ς δεσπότης ἤγειρε Ῥωμαν | ὸς νέον ὁ παμμέγιστος τόνδε πύργον ἐκ βάθρω(ν)
“Romanos, the Great Emperor of all the Romans, the most Great, erected this tower new from the foundations”.
+ ἐκτ(ί)σθ(η) ὁ πύργος οὗτος δια...| κελαρίου
​“This tower was built by Kelarios (?)”

fwiw I think the actual reason leaders of AI frontier labs suddenly seem to agree to pace AI development is

(a) safety measures are currently so crap that they're likely to end up in court if not jail, and they all agree that no one wants that

(b) they see no major new model advancement coming up soon anyway and need an excuse

(c) shift in public opinion

the talk of existential threat is mostly there to keep you distracted and the stock market happy.

This literature makes people extremely angry and has engendered unlimited calls for retracting the studies.

But the results just keep replicating. They are highly reliable and highly predictive, far beyond virtually any other socially important findings in psychology.

@Kryptotajeer @BrotherRasheed @InspiringPhilos I have never heard of Jews killing for apostacy and Christ said "whoever wants, follow me".

For those who are 26 years old or younger, this clip is NOT Ai.

It’s when Islamists hijacked passenger aircraft, killed crew members and crashed the planes into the twin towers.

You may be supporting Hamas and “the resistance” but September 11, 2001 is when it started.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.

The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.

The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
