Idk if this is a fun fact, but Malaysia is one of the trending destinations for Japanese students who want to go to university abroad
Malaysia is very affordable, tuition is cheap, safety and living conditions are decent, and most importantly English is commonly spoken, so many students just choose Malaysia over the more traditional destinations like the United States or Europe. I always get posters and brochures of Malaysian Universities, and there is a information session and events specifically for Malaysian Universities that interested high schoolers can attend

Based on our Persian sources, the mood inside regime circles is darker than public messaging: three months of unpaid military salaries, $250B–$500B in damage, and a hardline narrative that a nuclear weapons test is now obligatory. Pragmatists, blocked by the military-security apparatus, are meeting loyalty tests through harsh & escalatory rhetoric.

“Get a job” is such an interesting American insult
It’s an alternate version of “loser” - the worst thing you can be in the US, home of the Dream - and implies that your worth is connected with the function you fulfill in society
Unless you work, most Americans simply refuse to believe you have value, and that work must be intelligible in a social sense (flaneuring and languor and cultivated leisure are definitely out). This is why even writers, who almost by definition tend to be somewhat bohemian types, often explain themselves in a way that reflects the production of words as akin to clocking in every morning at the job site. You are expected to present as if you are productive every waking hour
Other countries don’t really do this. I don’t think you can insult a Pakistani or a Russian by saying “get a job”. They won’t understand. What do you mean, “get a job”? I have to get a job; I have to work. I might starve if I don’t. Life is hard. Work is mandatory. But almost everyone is poor and work says nothing about you as a person. It’s just a necessity.
In the US, the land of money, where more than anywhere else the country could probably afford most people to not work, the system has done a very clever thing and raised work to a test of moral character. The American internalizes the need to strive. Whereas in other countries, impoverishment in one’s external circumstances is the primary motivator
This has significant implications for AI in America. In the Congo or Egypt if AI makes jobs obsolete I’m not sure anyone will care. Society there doesn’t center on the transcendent importance of The Job. But in the US, without work, what’s left?

Lebanon’s President Aoun was set to take a call with President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, today in the middle of a war, for what was presumably ceasefire diplomacy.
And he’s being threatened - with talk of civil war, no less - by Hezbollah, cheered on as usual by Lebanon’s Parliament speaker, and immortal vampire, Nabih Berri.
Just think about that for a second.
A head of state who can’t even take a diplomatic call without asking permission from an armed terror faction that claims to “defend” the country when in fact it is doing Iranian regime’s bidding.
At that point, what exactly is left of sovereignty?
And of course, this dysfunction doesn’t come out of nowhere. It fits perfectly into the Iranian playbook: stall, intimidate, and use Lebanon as leverage while buying time with the Trump administration.
This isn’t 3D chess.
It’s 3D BS🤦🏻♂️

Cybill Shepherd launched her career at a remarkably young age when she was crowned “Model of the Year” in 1968 at the age of just 18. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, her stunning looks and natural poise quickly made her a highly sought-after face in the fashion world, leading to major modeling contracts and widespread recognition, including a cover for Glamour magazine.
Her success as a model soon caught the eye of Hollywood directors. Her striking image on a magazine cover led directly to her being cast in her debut film role, Peter Bogdanovich’s critically acclaimed “The Last Picture Show” (1971). This transition from a top-tier model to a leading actress marked the beginning of her long and varied career in film and television.

@kamilkazani Iran will be 3 years old with nuke, imagine Israel already surround by 'Ring of fire' enemy in region ,for some people here justice for Palestinian is more important than anything else even given legitimacy to iran, hamas/ hezbollah? than actual improve Palestinian life.🤡
English

Israel is a 5 year old with a nuke
That is the most terrifying thing about it
The Israeli maturity & self-reflection are those of little children
Of all the nuclear/one-step-away-from-nuclear states in the world, they can be probably the least trusted with the bomb

🚨WATCH: The IDF settles the account from 2006. IDF forces at Bint Jbeil destroyed the house where IDF hero Lt. Col. Roy Klein ZL and 7 IDF soldiers fell in 2006.

@dartsandmonkeys @kamilkazani I suspect left wing intellectual and supporter to this account ever 'care' about terrorism and international law for them ,justice for Palestine is more important than anything else. terrorist (hamas,hezbollah) is cause for Palestine 'justice'.
English

@kamilkazani What I don’t understand is how casually everyone accepted the breaking of international law and terrorism from Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Russia, etc. and also the clear & stated intent to wipe out Israel, then when Israel goes hard in return it’s genocide. Why is that?
English

@Emir_Kandemir23 @kamilkazani you said like Lebanon and Israel can fight war for many years on... I fear israel will planting land mine and chemical wasted to south lebanon soil...then south lebanon become no man land or whatever. 👻👻
English

@kamilkazani - invades lebanon
- invaders get killed there at some random house
- holds blood feud for decades against a house(!)
- destroys the house
- still angry and seeks next target

A Japanese fan spent about $4,000 for a “dream date” with his favorite underground idol, a full Disneyland day with rides, meals, and photos, all paid by him.
Days later, he claimed he discovered the “bodyguard” she brought along was actually her husband, and that he had unknowingly paid for all three of them.
The story exploded online after he said he felt “emotionally deceived”, sparking a huge debate about idol culture in Japan, especially the expectation that idols stay “available” to maintain fans’ fantasy.
After the backlash, the idol issued a public apology and said she had already left her idol, but she never confirmed the marriage.

In 1898, during Kaiser Wilhelm II's visit to the Ottoman Empire, he was deeply appalled by the shabby state of medieval Islamic conqueror Saladin's tomb. Germany's final emperor was so moved that he fully funded the restoration of his mausoleum, personally donating a marble sarcophagus in his honour

@TheNameofWar The incident ended up saving his life. He survived the Eastern Front, was captured by the Americans and not the Soviets, and lived long enough to watch The Big Bang Theory.

In 1944, during a meeting with his generals, Hitler asked his adjutant Fritz Darges to dispose of a fly that had begun buzzing around the room. Darges joked that being airborne, it should be swatted by someone in the Luftwaffe. Hitler had him fired on the spot and transferred to the Eastern front.

During the Soviet Great Purge of the 1930’s, the NKVD attempted to arrest Cossack general Semyon Budyonny at his home. Budyonny brandished his Nagant M1895 pistol, phoned Stalin, and angrily demanded they be sent away. Stalin complied and the matter was not discussed again.
Budyonny lived to be 90.

Agree, but the problem runs deeper than Macron.
For years, Euro-elites from the left virtue signaled and dressed up their cynical policies in faux morality while abandoning genuine principles and populations. At the same time, they behaved clearly in ways suggesting they not only lack the will to defend Western civilization and heritage, but reject the very legitimacy of doing so as a unique collection of cultures worthy of preservation.
The chickens are now coming home to roost on many fronts. Europe is now really in a battle for survival, but much of its leadership either doesn’t care (the left in England), is politically corrupted (the current gov in Spain and Ireland), or too daft to understand (pretty much all over Europe west of the Elbe).
Jonathan Conricus@jconricus
Actions have consequences. France under Macron has made itself irrelevant as a global powerbroker. You can’t expect to be taken seriously after recognizing a state that doesn’t have a capital, territory, leadership of unified political structure, as the French did with “Palestine”.
