@mashabani I had this funny example the other day where it didn't even know which language it was translating from.

Twitter's AI translations can be quite terrible for Arabic and Persian.
In this example, "Mojtaba Khamenei" in Arabic is somehow mistranslated as "Moqtada Al-Sadr" in English. No logical or linguistic basis for this mistranslation whatsoever.

If Trump is پرزیدنت دلها, then does that make Netanyahu:
ژی 🇮🇷🏳️🌈@j4yisnotreal
Why do people call him “bibi”? I thought its a nickname iranians gave him but i noticed everyone call him that 😭 is it a title or a part of his name or what?

@j4yisnotreal @patskareshet They've even had an Iranian president. Moshe Katsav (موسی قصاب) was president of Israel at the same time as Khatami. They're even both from Yazd.

@rostam_pechorin Also, as usual, there is a good Bplus video. They have some Farsi references in the caption.

@rostam_pechorin There is a lot of academic writing on land reform, but not many books that I know of. There is this one, but I've only read snippets of it.

The Iranica article on Agriculture in Iran also covers it a bit.

He really screwed himself over with land reform. Arguably one of the main reasons for the revolution. While I agree with the reasons for doing it, it was yet another instance of trying to copy from Europe without considering the Iranian context and expecting it to work.

MRP had so many great ideas, and understood what Iran needed, but was so unfit for leadership as an individual. I like to imagine what Iran could have been if the coup never happened and he acted as a figure head guiding the direction of the country, while competent statesmen built it…

@nogunjou @Rational_Psych I'd like to remind you of a man called Ben Carson who was one of the greatest neurosurgeons in the world during his career.
English
@Rational_Psych On average I'd say neurosurgeons are certainly among the smartest. But they don't get their own category

I hope this goes to trial, because the discovery phase, oh lordy
Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו@netanyahu
Today I instructed my legal advisers to consider the harshest legal action against The New York Times and Nicholas Kristof. They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israel’s valiant soldiers. Under my leadership, Israel will not be silent. We will fight these lies in the court of public opinion and in the court of law. Truth will prevail.

Khamenei read French literature while Xi read American. Makes you think.

Xi Jinping is more American than most Americans. From a 2015 speech

@ZaidJilani They simultaneously under- and over-estimated his popularity.

McMorrow attacking Piker was one of the dumbest moves I’ve seen from a Democrat in a very long time. Average American has no idea who he is but young Dem primary voters like him and polarized to El Sayed.

Yes, this happened 9 years ago.

@idkijustthibk If it's a summer day, they could do it with Gallium or Cesium as well. If they're in a tropical or desert location, they could also do Rubidium. Given Gallium "eats" other metals and Cs/Rb explode when they come into contact with water, that would be an interesting plot device.
English
Mercury being the only room for temperature liquid metal means that earth benders can practice water bending techniques using mercury.
