NYT, doing NYT shit. Scuffle. The Omani copilot attempted to take control of and likely crash the plane headed to Tel Aviv and the Emerati pilot, crew and Israeli passengers subdued the copilot and likely saved everyone on board. Scuffle. What obscene framing. www.ynetnews.com/article/rycb...

It wasn’t a knife fight. It was an attempted hijacking and 9/11 style suicide terrorist attack on a plane going to Tel Aviv by the Omani National copilot who was subdued by the other pilot, crew, and Israeli passengers.

The moment the flydubai flight landed safely in Saudi Arabia, passengers broke into song, singing “Am Yisrael Chai.” 🇮🇱 The flight had diverted following a suspected terror incident onboard. Reports indicate that one of the pilots may have attempted to seize control of the aircraft and crash it

The antisemitism in the comments to this post, a post about Jews praying in the holiest place for Jews that they are allowed to pray (as the Temple Mount is off limits by the Waqf) on the holiest day of the year is really incredibly disgusting. The commenters really need their own day to atone.

Cowardly, weak people, I heard Isaac say in my head. Any conspiracy theory holds currency for them. As I followed Ratnavale through his rubric of educational models, I realized that Isaac's Harvard classmates caught up in conspiracy theories were actually seizing upon a cheap stand-in for the Learner Centered education they'd never had. Conspiracy theories simulated the life-affirming experience of real humanities scholarship: the delight of being swept up in a story, the treasure hunt of "research," the puzzle-click of "reasoning," the marvel of "discovery." It made people feel enlightened, empowered, even edgy, like they knew something that most people didn't. It made them feel brave. But it was only a simulation of bravery, because unlike real bravery, it came with social validation: membership in a community of people who all believed thesame lies. What if these brilliant students had been encouraged to actually be brave instead?

Apple quietly dropped a ton of detail about the Apple Watch’s new always-on don’t-call-it-transcription feature and it is FASCINATING. support.apple.com/en-us/148354
Like all of our products and features, Audio Intelligence on Apple Watch was built from the ground up to protect your privacy.
• Audio is not recorded or stored. Audio Intelligence features don't create audio recordings. No audio can be accessed by the operating system, apps, you, or even Apple.
There is no recording to share, forward, or produce if requested by any party, because no recording exists.
• Raw audio is never accessible. Audio flows into a protected buffer inside the S11 chip's Secure Exclave — a hardware-isolated compartment built into the silicon of Apple Watch and iPhone that processes sensor data separately from the rest of the system. Data that is processed and analyzed in the Secure Exclave can't be accessed by the operating system, apps, you, or even Apple. Once processed, this data is immediately deleted.
• Siri Recap and Live Rewind help jog your memory, not provide a detailed record. Siri Recap doesn't produce a transcript. It generates a brief, high-level summary — comparable to notes you might jot down after a conversation. Live Rewind shows a text snippet of what was just said in the last 15 seconds, so you can catch something you missed.• No speaker attribution. By design, Audio Intelligence features don't identify and attribute speakers. Siri Recap may contain names if mentioned in the conversation, but doesn't directly attribute speakers (for example, "John said..." or labeling as "Speaker A" versus
"Speaker B"). Similarly, Live Rewind may transcribe what someone said word-for-word, but does not attribute quotes to speakers.
• Audible and visible signals for Live Rewind.
When activated, an audible chime plays from the speaker on your Apple Watch, even if your Apple Watch is on silent or you have headphones connected. A full-display animation and microphone indicator appear on the display, and a distinct double-press gesture is required to activate Live Rewind. This is to alert those nearby that the feature has been activated.
• Omitted content. Siri Recaps are designed to omit potentially harmful content, such as language that promotes self-harm or hateful speech, and sensitive information, such as financial data, government-assigned identifiers, authentication data, and certain personal identifiers.
• Be mindful of those around you. While audio is not recorded and stored, and no speakers are attributed, consider those around you where conversations might be private or sensitive.

They need to be released now. I offered the Israelis to mediate a quick deal for their release, but they are not interested."
Blinken informed al-Thani that he planned to fly to Israel within three days. "Let's wait," he reassured him. "I will speak with Netanyahu personally." Al-Thani pressed on.
"You know that time is an important factor. We need to act now." Blinken stopped him: "Right now, the situation is complex. Israel is still under attack, and there's no one
