And this👇 is the infamous D9, the one used in Gaza and West End to raze homes to the ground and dig roads deep, and bury people too. This thing here is what makes the landscape irrecognizable after the bombing. al Qassam brigades have been targeting them with some success.
Exploding robots have also been used, cheaper, no humans required but not as devastating

that stat doesn’t mean much


Heh, coincidentally, I just asked Chat GPT how we're supposed to know what any statistics mean - or actually are - in the wake of the #TrumpVirus elimination of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Thin-slied: "reliable sources", like the government. Catch 22 / "There's a hole in the bucket!"

As for the AI landscape (to sort of mirror it's tone), nobody can predict, or as #TrumpVirus says, "We'll see what happens". I tend to agree that most will be the property of big data with the re$ources (money/electricity/scale) to be a "winner".

What I'm seeing, based on both the strength & fallibility of (publicly accessible) AI,
is heavy use of disclaimers and qualifiers and efforts to seem neutral... But what I can foresee is a few major "channels" of AI, both in #media offerings and for consumers to pick and choose, which will basically reflect "the mind" of the owners, be it Musk (Grok), Meta, or maybe (hopefully) some neutral, public-service entity. Again, "we'll see..."

Curious to hear people's opinion about Delta Chat...

Especially with an eye on the possibility of mandatory 'client-side scanning' for messaging platforms like Signal and WhatsApp (i.e. turning these messaging apps into a direct eavesdropping device for the police), I'm wondering if Delta Chat might be a good alternative.

Delta Chat is based on email but it functions like an ordinary messaging app. It's PGP end-to-end encrypted, decentralised/federated, open source... so it should be possible for many people to run their own messaging servers, thereby circumventing (possibly, hopefully) the legal requirements of the chat control bill.

AWS in 2025: Stuff you think you know that's now wrong

Link: lastweekinaws.com/blog/aws-in-…
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4…

The nazi-government is planning to essentially destroy any remaining social security & infrastructure in Finland.

No, really. They plan to cut so deep, we may never recover. Not even if the next government is left-leaning. Not even if two after that are left-leaning.

Why? Anyone who doesnt CLOSELY follow politics, still thinks that one of the biggest party, SDP is “leftist” like when Sanna Marin was in lead. Not even close, if elected the new leader Antti Lindman wants to KEEP CUTTING.

From Keith Woods on X:

"Auron MacIntyre's views on race are totally incoherent.

Auron MacIntyre is a conservative opposed to White identity politics. Because his audience is more radical, he has to use pilpul to spread his message that White identity politics is evil.

Here, he tells Tucker that thinking of people by race is a modern "vulgarisation" - not true, actually the modern innovation is the distinction between ethnicity and race that Auron insists on (more)

Chatting and joking with Trump is the main European strategy for Ukraine en.news-front.su/2025/08/20/ch…

Hey everyone, Yousef, @NouranKhaledGh’s brother in Gaza, is looking for remote work:

“Before the war, I was working as a copywriter in English and Arabic. I managed to get dozens of projects done successfully and I got a top-rated badge on Upwork.”

He wasn’t able to work during the war. In January, during the ceasefire, he was able to get short-term projects. He goes to a dedicated workplace every day even now, in the middle of an ongoing genocide, to have electricity and a working Internet connection to look for work but has been getting rejections on Upwork, likely because he’s based in Gaza.

“I just want to get back to work because I don’t want to lose everything in my life.”

This is his Upwork account:

upwork.com/freelancers/~018cc9…

How can we help?

Please share + talk to people you know who might benefit from Yousef’s expertise.

Thank you!

Education Department drops English-learner guidance for schools – The Washington Post


Exclusive

Education Department quietly removes rules for teaching English learners


The move is an acceleration of President Donald Trump’s executive order declaring English the country’s “official language.”

By Laura Meckler and Justine McDaniel

The Trump administration has quietly rescinded long-standing guidance that directed schools to accommodate students who are learning English, alarming advocates who fear that schools will stop offering assistance if the federal government quits enforcing the laws that require it.

The rescission, confirmed by the Education Department on Tuesday, is one of several moves by the administration to scale back support for approximately 5 million schoolchildren not fluent in English, many of them born in the United States. It is also among the first steps in a broader push by the Trump administration to remove multilingual services from federal agencies across the board, an effort the Justice Department has ramped up in recent weeks.

The moves are an acceleration of President Donald Trump’s March 1 order declaring English the country’s “official language,” and they come as the administration is broadly targeting immigrants through its deportation campaign and other policy changes. The Justice Department sent a memorandum to all federal agencies last month directing them to follow Trump’s executive order, including by rescinding guidance related to rules about English-language learners.

Since March, the Education Department has also laid off nearly all workers in its Office of English Language Acquisition and has asked Congress to terminate funding for the federal program that helps pay for educating English-language learners. Last week, education advocates noticed that the guidance document related to English learning had a new label indicating it was rescinded and remains online “for historical purposes only.”

Short joke: European leaders 🤣 🤣

"It is time for our European counterparts to put up or shut up.

They keep saying "the US should do this, the US should do that". President Trump has put secondary tariffs on India because of their consumption of Russian oil, and the Europeans haven't done that yet. As a matter of fact, the Europeans are buying the refined products that the Indian refineries make." - Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent.

Update: Gracie and Buzz at 6 months old. I am not sure if I can keep calling them #BabySharks since they don't chew our fingers as much anymore but they do love the sticks in the #Backyard. Battle Royales continue.

Now that they have had their shots, leash training coming soon. 😵‍💫

Gracie is 4lbs and Buzz is 7lbs.

It's been a while since I posted a #BabySharks picture. They will be turning 10 months old this month.

They are loving hanging out in the #Mountains and exploring all the new scents and meeting new people.

There has been zero littermate syndrome (something I was slightly concerned about). They love their doggie cousins and big brother, Auggie Doggie.

Their teeth are still super sharp and they play non stop.

I just love them! ❤️ 🐾
