Just great. The pilots got into a brawl, a hijacking squawk was sent, some Israeli passengers reportedly helped crew to subdue an “attacker” - one of the pilots - (apparently) as the aircraft made a landing at Tabuk airport 🇸🇦 near the Jordanian border. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-sep...

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

A 'peace' of Ukraine.
A black-and-white political cartoon featuring four minimalist stick figures arranged horizontally against a plain white background, illustrating a critique of foreign perspectives on the Russia-Ukraine war.
From left to right, the scene unfolds as follows:
• The Aggressor (Far Left): A stick figure facing right holds a detailed grey assault rifle directly at the next figure's face. A grenade and a knife hang from its waist. A rectangular Russian flag (horizontal stripes of white, blue, and red) is pasted across its upper chest. A speech bubble above its head reads in bold black text: "I will destroy you and take all your land."
• The Victim (Center-Left): A stick figure stands defenseless, leaning backward with its hands raised in a gesture of retreat or surrender. A rectangular Ukrainian flag (horizontal blue and yellow stripes) is pasted across its chest. It looks at the armed figure with a sad, worried expression.
• The First Detractor (Center-Right): A stick figure faces left, pointing an angry finger at the Ukrainian figure. It wears a bright red baseball cap with the letters "MAGA" in white. Its mouth is wide open in a yell.
• The Second Detractor (Far Right): A stick figure stands closely behind the MAGA figure, also facing left with a stern, angry glare. It is drawn with a red torso and wears a grey, Soviet-style ushanka winter hat featuring a small red star emblem on the front.
A joint speech bubble originates from both the MAGA and Soviet-hatted figures, pointing directly at the Ukrainian figure. It reads in bold black text: "Ukraine, why don't you want peace? Make peace with Russia!"

Some writers go ballistic at the mere mention of AI because they take the training of AI models on their work to be a form of intellectual property theft. Like settler colonists, the AI boys want to treat it as a fiat accompli; "here's a pittance—let's move forward." But what if IP theft is ongoing?
