For those concerned, famine still exists in Gaza.

Some photographs stay with you because they reveal a truth no words can fully capture.
​The image of a child trying to reach a parent is a reminder of the human cost of war. No child should ever face such loss, and no family should have to endure moments like these.
​As someone living in Gaza, I see how conflict continues to reshape childhood. Many children grow up surrounded by uncertainty, displacement, and grief instead of the safety every child deserves.
​When we say "never again," those words should carry meaning for every innocent civilian, everywhere. Compassion should never depend on borders, nationality, or politics.
​Please remember the children of Gaza. Behind every image is a life, a family, and a future that deserved the chance to exist.

🔴🚨If this were Israeli blood, it would dominate every headline. Because it’s Palestinian blood, it’s met with silence.

Shame.

Israeli settlers are given immunity by the Israeli State to commit acts of Terrorism every day. But that's no problem for the EU with the 'European Values'...

🚨Israel Has Bombed A Funeral In Gaza’s Nuseirat Refugee Camp, Killing 8 & Injuring 20 Others

Since this morning, 15 Palestinians have been killed throughout the Gaza Strip.

Not a words from any of the dozens of countries that are part of the CMCC that is supposed to be monitoring ceasefire violations & holding the violators to account. These countries watch on and remain silent.

[Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا @SMohyeddin]

Another massacre. Gaza is Israel’s little slaughterhouse. Israel just bombed a funeral procession killing 8 people and maiming and injuring another 20. We are watching an entire defenceless people, living among waste & rubble & tattered tents, get brutalized on a daily basis.

[The Cradle @TheCradleMedia]

According to local reports, three-year-old Sanad Mohammed Shamaa has passed away following the denial of timely medical care, highlighting the ongoing collapse of Gaza's healthcare infrastructure amidst the current genocide and Israeli blockade.

The israelis commit a bloody massacre, killing at least 8 Palestinian people in a strike targeting civilians in Al-Nusierat camp, central Gaza

I think what drives high achieving scientists to China, besides better research students and well-funded labs, is China’s genuine commitment to solving real world problems that make lives better.

Not everyone wants profit maximisation.

On the morning of July 17, President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and the High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai, where he delivered a keynote speech.

Xi pointed out that profound changes unseen in a century are accelerating across the world, and a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is making rapid breakthroughs. Global AI innovation has entered a period of unprecedented activity, bringing both immense opportunities and governance challenges. Humanity must confront the questions of the times: How should we coexist with machines when they begin to think? How can security be guaranteed when algorithms participate in decision-making? How can governance keep pace when technology challenges ethics? How can inclusive benefits be realized as the digital divide widens? China believes that all countries should uphold a people-centered approach and the philosophy of "AI for Good," making artificial intelligence a key driver for shared prosperity and common security, while working together to build a fair and equitable global AI governance system.

In this regard, Xi put forward four proposals:

First, uphold openness and win-win cooperation to drive innovative development. We should seize this rare historical opportunity to encourage open-source collaboration and resource sharing. Efforts should be made to comprehensively promote AI technological innovation, industrial development, and application scenarios, while synergistically advancing the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the cultivation and expansion of emerging industries, and the forward-looking layout of future industries, thereby empowering diverse sectors with artificial intelligence.

Second, strengthen risk awareness to ensure safety and controllability. We must attach great importance to the various inherent and derivative risks associated with artificial intelligence. It is essential to establish systems for laws and regulations, technical monitoring, risk early warning, and emergency response. We must fortify the safety bottom line, prevent misuse and abuse, and ensure that artificial intelligence remains under human control. We should jointly oppose the practice of overstretching the concept of national security in the AI ​​field or placing one's own security above that of other nations.

Third, encourage inclusiveness and promote mutual learning among civilizations. We should shape the values ​​of artificial intelligence based on the shared values ​​of humanity, leverage AI technology to enhance understanding and tolerance among different civilizations, and foster exchanges and mutual learning, thereby cultivating a vibrant garden of civilizations where each is beautiful in its own way and all share in that beauty.

Fourth, advocate solidarity and cooperation to improve global governance. We should practice true multilateralism and effectively leverage the important role of the United Nations. Efforts should be made to strengthen the alignment and coordination of AI development strategies, governance rules, and technical standards, aiming to establish a global governance framework based on broad consensus at an early date, so that this cutting-edge technology can better benefit human society. Help Global South nations strengthen capacity building, bridge the digital and intelligent divide, foster sustainable development, and avoid creating new historical injustices in the field of artificial intelligence.

Xi Jinping emphasized that this year marks the beginning of China’s "15th Five-Year Plan" period. China upholds the combination of an effective market and a proactive government, strengthens scientific and technological innovation in AI, actively advances the "AI+" initiative, and cultivates a healthy ecosystem where diverse entities thrive together. The scale of core industries in the intelligent economy has already surpassed one trillion yuan, and "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" has become another shining hallmark of Chinese-style modernization. At the same time, China prioritizes both development and security, continuously refining relevant laws, regulations, policies, application standards, and ethical guidelines to ensure that AI remains safe, reliable, and controllable. As a responsible major country, China remains committed to serving as a provider of international public goods in the AI ​​sector, consistently contributing Chinese solutions.

Xi Jinping pointed out that, through the joint efforts of all parties, the World AI Cooperation Organization has been established in Shanghai. This is a major initiative by China to heed the call of the Global South and unite the international community in actively promoting AI development and governance; it will serve as a significant milestone in the history of AI development. To further support global AI development and capacity building, China will, over the next five years, provide 5,000 training opportunities on AI-related topics for developing countries; establish international AI application cooperation centers with ASEAN, the Arab League, the African Union, CELAC, the SCO, and BRICS; and facilitate the implementation of the "Mazu" intelligent meteorological early-warning system in 30 countries. With greater openness, more pragmatic actions, and a long-term vision, China stands ready to work with all parties to seize opportunities and address challenges in AI development, joining hands to create a better future for humanity.

It's a Friday and the Stratotanker fleet is airborne, heading east and south.
Looks like its a 'War On Iran' weekend again.

It's a status symbol of great power when you need to protest a foreign government nationalizing your companies, just like the US had since the 1950s. Congratulations 🎉

IRGC now poses a threat to UK every bit as severe as Quaker octagenarian grans and vicars opposing genocide.

[Maitreya Bhakal @MaitreyaBhakal]

As they get mogged by China harder and harder, it's hilarious to watch Silicon Valley libs get hysterical upon realizing that the real reason for US tech supremacy was US imperialism - not merit.

They were not more "intelligent" or "better at shipping" or had the "best brians in the world" or any such nonsense - they were just more evil and hegemonic. That was their real moat. All else was derivative and followed downstream.

And now with China's rise, that moat is drying up. And they cannot defend themselves, they have no option but to watch helplessly as China defeats and conquers them. The copium is a beautiful sight to behold.

This is Houla, South Lebanon — before and after Israel’s genocide.

An ancient village that stood for more than 2,000 years.

Israel wiped it off the map.

A war crime. A crime against history.
