"Yesterday’s split screen was striking: millions of peaceful high-energy protestors on one side and Trump’s listless North Korean-style self-celebration on the other. ...

On a Fox broadcast, someone was heard asking, 'Where are the people?' as the camera panned over a scanty crowd along the route. Even the president himself seemed uninterested and perhaps somnolent at times."

They did fabricate a casus belli, in faking hostile Polish activity (the Gleiwitz incident among others) and using “the Polish assault” as the justification. You know, we are compelled to invade Poland, they attaxxed us.

This remote archipelago in Papua, Indonesia, lies at the heart of Coral Triangle, home to richest marine biodiversity on Earth. Over 1,500 fish species, three-quarters of all known coral species, and countless fragile ecosystems thrive here. Indigenous Papuans rely on waters and forests for food, identity, and survival.

This ecological and cultural sanctuary is now under siege — from the very industry that claims to be building a cleaner, greener future: nickel mining.

"by acknowledging its intentions, Israel has forced the world to confront a moral and legal emergency that can no longer be obscured by euphemism or diplomatic evasion. Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza has exposed not only the brutality of its military doctrine, but also the fragility of the international legal order — largely established in the wake of the Holocaust — meant to prevent such atrocities."

New study on the effects of LLM use (in this case on essay writing):

arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872

Quote:

"LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning."

The interesting thing is: People who used search engines (to find sources etc) did not show similar issues. This is an important antidote against the belief that LLM-based tools are just like search engines. Which they are not. They are massively degrading their users' mental abilities and development. Which is why these systems have absolutely no place even _near_ any school or university.

Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task

This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition.

If It's To Be War With Iran, Let It Be The War That Nobody Comes To
C. #Johnstone

Let’s make this clear: if the #US bombs #Iran, Iran will kill US military personnel in response. If this happens, it will not be Iran’s fault that those military personnel died. It will be Trump’s fault. It will be the fault of everyone whose decisions led to the attack which resulted in their deaths.

And they will have died for nothing.

Anyone who dies in a war with Iran will have died for nothing.

They will not have died fighting for anyone’s freedom. They will not have died protecting their country.

The warmongers and propagandists will try to spin their deaths in this way, but they will be lying.

The bereaved parents and partners of those who died will also try to frame their deaths in this way, but they will only be fooling themselves, because the truth will be too painful to bear.

And the truth is that everyone who dies in such a war will have died because a few powerful people made some extremely evil decisions out of their own self-interest. And for no other reason.

Do NOT join the US military. Do NOT join the militaries of any nation which normally participates in America’s wars. If you are in those militaries, you should get out by any means necessary, as quickly as possible. If further on down the track there is a draft for a war with Iran, you should dodge the draft. Because otherwise you will be throwing yourself into a war with one of the world’s most formidable militaries, for nothing.

If you fight in such a war, you will be fighting for nothing.

If you die in such a war, you will die for nothing.

If you lose your limbs in such a war, you will lose your limbs for nothing.

If you suffer permanent brain damage in such a war, you will lose your mind for nothing.

Even if you manage to survive such a war with your body and brain intact, you will live the rest of your life with the knowledge that you killed human beings for nothing.

There’s a stanza from Carl Sandburg’s “The People, Yes” which has been bubbling around in my consciousness a lot lately:

The little girl saw her first troop parade and asked,
‘What are those?’
‘Soldiers.’
‘What are soldiers?’
‘They are for war. They fight and each tries to kill as many of the other side as he can.’
The girl held still and studied.
‘Do you know . . . I know something?’
‘Yes, what is it you know?’
‘Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come.’


If the US directly attacks Iran — and it’s looking increasingly likely that it will — Iran can be expected to kill many US soldiers with powerful attacks on the US military bases that are within striking range of its missiles. If that happens, the US can be expected to launch a full-scale regime change war on Iran.

If that’s to be, then let this be the war that nobody comes to. Because the alternative is to fight and die in a stupid war waged by evil people, for nothing.

From the rahmani or sailing instruction known as Fa’ida of the Kitab al-Fawa’id by the great 15th century mu'allim — navigator — and poet, Ahmad Bin Majid, warning of the intensity of the South-West Monsoon during summer in the Arabian Gulf:

"Intelligent men never make this journey during the three months when the Dahur is at full strength for then it is a gamble…For these ninety days the sea is closed and he who would cross it deserves to be unhappy. From the agony of loneliness and remorse, so much anxiety and suffering.“
