I am Omar Abd Rabou, a Palestinian journalist from Gaza. I am appealing to France to consider receiving me through its emergency reception and protection programs. I have been subjected to persecution and torture in Gaza by Hamas because of my condemnation of the October 7 attacks and my criticism of Hamas and its policies. As a journalist at risk, I urgently need safety and protection. I respectfully ask the French authorities to consider my case on humanitarian and emergency grounds. @FranceJerusalem @EmmanuelMacron

Using AI is an IQ test, and some will continue to fail, as you can see right here. The content of the message belongs to @standuquesne. Who actually wrote it matters not. Those overly attached to the form are missing the point entirely.
“I use AI to write like I use my calculator to do math” fundamentally misunderstands the human desire for truth seeking. Calculator math is close-ended, with empirically correct answers. Writing is open-ended, with subjectively nuanced answers. The determination for authenticity in writing, unlike math, is not the actual answer, but the quest it takes. In other words, if you use AI to write, you are not using a calculator. You are becoming the calculator.

Druckenmiller: There’s a reason I moved from an English major to being an economics major. I’m not embarrassed by it. I write everything using AI now for the same reason I use a calculator when I do math problems. I don’t know why this is relevant. My name is on the piece. It’s my message.”

IS $VVV THE FIRST MAINSTREAM WEB3 SUCCESS STORY?
Seven straight days of record revenue at @AskVenice, and the seventh was a clean sweep: new subs, API credits and $VVV burned, all all-time highs on the same day. $VVV is down 15% since July 1. Thread on what the on-chain data actually shows 🧵

VVV The single most important catalyst to watch: the next monthly burn report. If burns > 250K tokens at the new 3M emission rate, VVV is officially net deflationary.

This real-time 1948 article from The Economist completely destroys the modern “Nakba” narrative that was invented decades later as political propaganda. Straight from British eyewitnesses in Haifa, October 2, 1948: “Jewish authorities urged all Arabs to remain in Haifa and guaranteed them protection and security ... However, of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa, not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained. The most potent factor was the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive, urging the Arabs to quit ... those who remained and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.” They didn’t flee because of “Zionist ethnic cleansing.” They fled because Arab leaders ordered them to get out of the way so their armies could “drive the Jews into the sea.” Then they lost the war they started — and spent the next 77 years rewriting history to blame the Jews. The “Nakba” you were taught? Pure revisionist fiction.
The word “Nakba” (catastrophe) wasn’t invented by Palestinians to describe Jewish “ethnic cleansing.” It was coined in 1948 by a Syrian Arab historian, Constantin Zureiq, in his book The Meaning of the Disaster. He used it to describe the humiliating failure of the Arab world — their leaders’ arrogance, their lies to their own people, their military incompetence, and their refusal to accept a Jewish state. Zureiq wrote that the Arabs had “imaginary victories” and put their public “to sleep” with boasts — until the real disaster hit: they couldn’t wipe out the Jews. The original Nakba wasn’t about refugees. That a rebrand from several decades later. It was about the Arab leaders’ catastrophic decision to launch a war of extermination ... and lose. They’ve spent 77 years rebranding their own failure as Jewish guilt. That’s the only real "Nakba" they can’t forgive.

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme). Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident. Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité. Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison. Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme. Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable. Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion. C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes. Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre. Alors pardon. Et au travail.

I am posting from inside Iran, bypassing several layers of blockage to post this. The Iranian people want this regime gone and are willing to pay the price, because the price of the regime staying in power is higher. That is all. That's the tweet.

PSA for OpenClaw users: if your bot dies from context overload, it's probably cron outputs silently accumulating in your main session. Fix: isolate every cron to its own session + add a context budget tracker that flags before it blows up. Architectural fix > fresh install.

NEW: Emails released by the House Education Committee show that Qatar pressed American universities with satellite campuses in Doha to coordinate their messaging with the regime in the days following Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack. University officials were instructed to “be aligned” to ensure “information sharing and no surprises,” @CAndersonMO reports.

I understand the fear, but I disagree profoundly. When I was a kid in San Jose, I was targeted for wearing hearing aids. I still have scars from the fights. But, eventually, one gets tired of fighting and I wanted to take off my hearing aids. Pretend to be "normal." Who wins then? Once I understood the answer, I put my hearing aids back on. I've seen this fear conquer too many people. For example, I've seen whites too afraid to speak up because of white guilt, the risk of being labeled racist and losing their job. A very real threat, yes, and it became a reality for some. And now Jews are expected to give into this same fear? But hiding is not safety. It's surrender, and surrender has a compounding cost. Because of this fear we've already lost enormous ground on the basic American principles, and to who? The enemies of the West? Sure, we may avoid a conflict here and there on the individual level by giving into fear but we're losing the war as a society. I don't say this lightly -- my family has paid far more than its share of the price. It is better to fight than to disappear.
