@BarakRavid Since this is the point in discussions where Israel often murder negotiators, I'm sticking with 'we'll have to wait and see'.

🚨A regional source said all the Arab and Muslim leaders on the call with Trump on Saturday urged him to go ahead with the deal to end the war and de-escalate the situation in the region
🚨"The message from everyone was - please stop the war for the benefit of the whole region", the source said
🚨According to the regional source the negotiations are moving well and the mediators hope to conclude the one-page framework agreement tomorrow and announce it
🚨Then, the mediators want to initiate negotiations on a detailed agreement a few days later, the regional source said

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷U.S., Iran close to a deal to end war but gaps on "wording" remain, U.S. official says. My story on @axios axios.com/2026/05/23/us-…

The monarchist revisionism in the last year or two about 53 has been crazy. It was clearly a coup, it was clearly a violation of Iranian sovereignty, and it was done purely to prevent Iranian nationalization of oil.
History Speaks@History__Speaks
Of course 1953 was a coup—the CIA literally admits it—and was a reason anti American sentiment was so widespread in 1979. Just because there were indigenous pro monarchist forces—ironically, mobilised in many cases by the clergy, who saw mossadegh as too cozy with the godless Tudeh, and MRP as relatively sympathetic to them—doesn’t mean the cia organizing fake anti mossadegh “protests” and paying off the Iranian military to topple a government wasn’t a coup.

The most important thing to remember to do is believe your eyes and ears. Jewish Israeli society supports the genocide. The only issues they have are "managerial". Jewish Israeli society is dedicated to ensuring its supremacy. Israel is growing weaker. The rest is gaslighting.

No amount of Israeli gaslighting is going to make this story go away. Systemic sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees has been reported for decades. Kudos to @NickKristof and @nytimes for having the principled courage to report it.
Kenneth Roth@KenRoth
The New York Times rightly stands behind @NickKristof 's careful and accurate account of Israel's systematic sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners. trib.al/QDq4Fon

@codeman999988 @tuuu28283 True in general, but languages as spoken don't conform to our theories about them, and are constantly evolving in spite of all attempts to standardise them so only 'correct' forms are validated. I use them differently.
English
@tuuu28283 @abdw_30 Yep and yup are the same exact word spelled differently. They don't have slightly different meanings the way Yes and Yup do.

It’s sometimes strange watching Pep Guardiola interviews, because you get so used to famous people being complete fucking cowards to protect their careers that him just being a good guy is almost shocking
Society is so bad, I’m more surprised by rare decency than common cowardice
Speaking up is the benchmark — wearing a pin or displaying some microscopic performative emblem is not
We need to normalise decency again in this indecent world

May it be 'a lightning rod moment'.
In the past 2years+ the State of Israel has institutionalised the 'right to torture' Palestinians and by extension (it seems) those who defend them. BenGvir is the public face of an entire system that deserves to be investigated/prosecuted.

Global Sumud Flotilla@gbsumudflotilla
At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken. While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages. Don’t let up. Statements of condemnation are not enough. This moment must be seized by people worldwide to apply the necessary pressure to end this colonial violence. Pressure officials. Escalate boycott and divestment tactics. Organize direct action. “Please, if this can be a lightning rod moment, let it be that … join us wherever you are and rise up so that we can end this occupation, end this colonialism, end this violence.” Free Palestine NOW.

@syntheria313056 @tuuu28283 'Brutally honest' is a common British English idiom, so yes, I can't disagree!
I shall be on the lookout for American English sarcasm!
English
@abdw_30 @tuuu28283 I mean that's fair but as an American is sounds way to painfully honest, while American sarcasm is more playful
English
@abdw_30 @tuuu28283 And by comparison, I mean the Japanese alternative to yes, yeah, yep and yup.
English
@tuuu28283 @abdw_30 "yup" is a bit sillier-sounding. So in writing, you'd either use it when a character has a thick accent or it's supposed to be comedic.
Otherwise, they're different spellings of the same word.
English
@syntheria313056 @tuuu28283 Comparison of what?
I find the ironic/sarcastic undertones come through more in British English, whereas American English is at times, for me, painfully literal.
English
@tuuu28283 @abdw_30 There has to definitely be comparison unless Americans English is uniquely sarcastic. Yup being a informal affirmative has a more sarcastic tone more or less
English
@tuuu28283 @abdw_30 I don’t think so. In my experience, the difference between “yep” and “yup” is just different regional accents for the same word.
English
@tuuu28283 Yeah, sort of
Yep/yup, they can do
(🤔 'yup' might be a variant spelling due to American pronunciation.)
And some people will use the form as a proxy for class and/or education.
"Yes", will be okay 95+% of the time, esp. in written forms; I only write "yeah" on Twitter! 🙂
English
@tuuu28283 P.S. This is for British English, not that recent language import to the US.
English
@tuuu28283 Different registers but there is also considerable nuance in meaning according to the tone of voice.
Yes, affirmative - formal
Eg. In court or on a fictional captain's deck
Yup, yep, yeah - informal
Eg. "Yeah, (right)" means "hell no", and "yep" could mean "here we go again".
English
@AlexRettie @BretVDB Are you, by any chance, thinking it should sound English or French?
