The Philippines is the only country with a flag whose orientation indicates either a state of peace or war. If the blue field is on top, it’s peace; if the red field is on top, it’s war.

His heroism extends to statecraft, too. Usyk gave one of his championship belts (one of the extras made to donate to third parties) to the Ukrainian government so that they could gift it to Trump. They did... at that disastrous Oval Office meeting in February 2025. When Trump berated Zelensky and then kicked him out of the White House before lunch, the Embassy forgot to retrieve the belt. Trump kept it. Usyk was cool with it.

The Nike power laces in BACK TO THE FUTURE PT II were designed by Nike legend Tinker Hatfield. They were mounted to a fake piece of pavement and a crew member under the set pulled the laces through holes in the floor to create the auto lacing effect.

From time to time it's fun to flip back through the National Security Strategy, which was released three months ago

Let me run you through the last few days. 1) Trump insults Zelensky and the WH says it was a mistake to help Ukraine. 2) the USA begs Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones. 3) Ukraine starts helping the US. 4) Reports come out that Putin is giving Iran intelligence to help attack Americans 5) The WH says that is fine.

Spielberg's mastery of the moving image might be unmatched. This shot from SCHINDLER'S LIST is incredible.

Many congratulations to a guy with one of the toughest jobs in journalism…
Royal Television Society@RTS_media

This year’s Special Award goes to “one of the finest journalists of his generation,” said the jury, @BBCSteveR, @BBCNews’ Russia Editor. “Our media industry is often criticised for not sticking with stories, for moving on too quickly to the next breaking news. But not our winner of this award. He has demonstrated devotion to his patch and a depth of expertise that is unrivalled. He has chosen to base himself in a country that he loves but nevertheless places him under daily intimidation and danger” #RTSAwards

"Trump directly addresses the tens of thousands of people estimated to have been killed by the Iranian regime. It's an very important, sobering point. What's left out, however, is that the president actively encouraged the protestors to 'KEEP PROTESTING' and said 'HELP IS ON ITS WAY,'" @KateAndrs writes. "That was over a month ago. No help from the U.S. has arrived yet." wapo.st/4772epy

This is the most mind blowing thing you will read all week
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet. 1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output. The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice. Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet. And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.” This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one. We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that. The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope" (John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)
