Today, another infant, Taim Al-Khawaja, died from hypothermia in Gaza City, along with a 9-year-old girl, Hadeel Al-Masri. Just yesterday, 8-month-old Rahaf Al-Jazar also lost her life to the cold. The occupation continues to block shelter aid at the border.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI to compile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism, according to a Justice Department memo published here exclusively.

The target is those expressing opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology, as well as anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity.

“You have two days to leave, or we will kill you.”

Zionist settlers issue death threats to a Palestinian family and foreign peace activists in coordinated terror attack near Ramallah

At dawn today, armed Zionist Israeli settler militias launched a violent attack in the Al-Khalayleh area of Al-Mughayyir village (Ramallah district in the occupied West Bank), targeting a Palestinian family and four foreign peace activists (Italian, British, and American).

Settlers stormed the home and farm of the Abu Hammam Rizq Abu Naim family in a white pickup, brutally beating the child Rizq Hammam on the head, assaulting his mother, breaking one foreign activist’s arm, attacking solidarity volunteers with sticks, and stealing activists’ phones. The attack unfolded under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, who sealed off village entrances, allowed settlers to freely carry out the attack, and blocked Palestinian ambulances from reaching the wounded.

For hours, the Silwad ambulance crew was detained at the Beit El military barrier while transporting injured victims; occupation soldiers later vandalized and destroyed the interior of the municipal ambulance and abducted ambulance officer Ahed Smeirat.

An elderly resident, Fida Rizq, testified: “When they saw me, they brutally struck me on the head with a tile, threw me to the ground, and started to brutally beat me with sticks. They told us: ‘You have only two days to leave; if we see you here, we will burn you in the house and kill all of you.’”

Zuckerberg has blown 77 billion – enough money to revitalize entire countries – on an idea so overwhelmingly, obviously stupid that I have never once heard anyone, from the Thanksgiving avuncular table to the most wretched depths of social media, say they liked it or even tried it. He was so sure that it would revolutionize the world that he renamed his extremely famous company after it. And now he's on to the next thing that he's so very, very sure about.

The world needs direction from sober people who aim to improve the human condition, not the whims of a handful of billionaire princelings who absolutely, positively cannot be dissuaded from failing at unprecedented scale while chasing their own vainglory off the edge of a cliff.

[Alert, alert! 🌟 💥 ] Increased risk of #SolarStorms in the coming days!

Numerous particularly active #sunspots appeared on the surface of the #Sun last weekend. Their total surface area is comparable to that of the sunspots observed by British astronomer Richard #Carrington on September 1, 1859. An event that gave rise to the strongest solar storm in recent centuries.

Plenty of people is blaming "AI" in the abstract for the recent RAM price spikes, but I haven't seen anybody around here point to the actual and direct culprit of it all: Sam Altman secretly bought 40% of silicon wafers (not even produced RAM, just the silicon wafers) from two of the biggest RAM manufacturers, at the same time. Not even with specific plans for what kind of RAM do with them. This is just to mess up with competitors.

Seriously, you can't hate OpenAI enough.

Analysis: In pardoning a narco trafficker, Trump destroys his own case.

Since September, Trump has killed 80+ suspected drug smugglers by blowing up their boats.

But now he's "decided to pardon one of the biggest cocaine traffickers of them all".

Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández was sentenced to 45 years for conspiring to import 500,000 kilos of cocaine into the US.

Trump wants Hernández's party to win the Honduran election.

Report: "UK government lawyers use secret evidence to justify ban on Palestine Action"

Judges heard the secret evidence after lawyers & public for Palestine-Action co-founder, Huda Ammori, were told to leave court.

If "Ammori loses her case based on the secret evidence, neither she nor her team will know what the government argued against her or Palestine Action."

Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur, is now facing direct consequences for choosing to stand up for humanity and defend human rights after being sanctioned by the United States.

Her private medical insurance refused to reimburse her solely because she is under US sanctions. Even official engagements have been obstructed: the European Union Parliament invited her for a talk, booked a room for her, and then cancelled it simply because the reservation carried her name.

I'm preparing a briefing on #SeaLevelRise and my hunt for an image led me to the wikipedia page and holy moly it's good...

If you want to learn about many different aspects, I'd definitely start there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise

in the past week, 2 public figures behind the teen social media ban have pre-emptively accused tech platforms of sabotaging the ban.

it's somewhat at odds with the government's own research and esafety's regulatory guidance which both say age check tech has flaws.

to put a fine point on it:

"a lot of people casually use chatbots" is a pretty uncontroversial claim. there's plenty of data to support that right now, as well as plenty of shared cultural experiences around it.

"LLMs are a net benefit in a lot of problem domains" is an *extraordinary claim* that there is, as far as I can tell, *zero evidence for*. If you want to make this argument to me you will have to bring a lot of *precise evidence*.

If you’re dealing with Long Covid - there’s a chance you’re also dealing with MCAS and/or POTS/Dysautonomia.

They’re common comorbids and can have a devastating impact on quality of life.

New allergies? Alcohol intolerance? Dizziness? Fatigue? Fainting? Hives? Neuropathy? GI issues? Unexplained tachycardia or blood pressure swings?

These can all be caused by POTS, MCAS or a combination of both.

Mega thread of resources and guides below:

I was dealing with both of these conditions before the pandemic - and when the first Long Covid cases started popping up I remember thinking “I need to make sure I avoid Covid - it’s already causing POTS and MCAS so it might make mine worse”

I shielded as soon as I was able (and haven’t been unable to stop).

I had hope that given the sheer size of the problem - we would see accelerated research and have better treatments and/or a cure.

Instead we’ve seen an increase in dismissal and psychologizing - with many people reporting it’s HARDER to get a diagnosis now than before the pandemic.

We don’t have anything new to offer patients despite the huge increase in people with these conditions - and the few doctors willing to treat us have wait lists which have tripled in size.

Patients have to wait longer to see a doctor - and get shockingly little time with them.

Basically - we are truly on our own.

As a result patient support groups and message boards are increasingly becoming a lifeline for those newly diagnosed.

I remember how scared and lost I was at the beginning of my chronic illness journey - so I’ve spent the last few months writing guides to help patients dealing with MCAS & POTS.

My hope is they will serve as a resource for the newly diagnosed as well as for people who suspect they may be dealing with these conditions.

You will find explanations of how they impact the body, tips for obtaining diagnosis, treatment options, lifestyle adjustments and more.

I hate having to go searching for something when I’m feeling really sick - so I thought it might be helpful to include everything I’ve written in one mega thread people could bookmark or save.

With that - the guides! (One per post below)
