FUN FACT: There have been no flights from Israel to Iran for 46 years. For almost a week now, all flights from Israel have been only to Iran.

Stay in your lane. Clean up the snow and support the cops.

@jake_hansen_ @ChuckMuth Yeah, the ones we bombed. We didn’t hit all of them

@ChuckMuth Friendly reminder from 6-months ago

Once again for those in the back: The US objective is VICTORY. Through victory, there will be PEACE. The Democrats who instead sent pallets of cash to the ayatollahs need to shut up and sit this one out.

@topicm What are your uses cases for these headsets?

We were early adopters of @Meta Quest in higher ed, buying fleets of headsets before Meta even had a management system. Now Meta’s new policy punishes the early innovators by forcing us to pay twice: once for our current management system (like @ArborXR) and $18/mo per headset to Meta. Our two options? Keep paying forever…or rebuy every headset for a $100 “lifetime” fee. No grace period. Just a tax on innovation.  Is this what innovation looks like to you @finkd ? #XR #EdTech #HigherEd

The hostages are finally free הוֹדוּ לַיי כִּי טוֹב עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי

Once the world fully grasps that Hamas would sacrifice every Palestinian life before relinquishing its grip on Gaza, it will begin to understand the grim reality of this conflict. Hamas has long understood that Palestinian casualties serve its strategic interests. I have observed Hamas do this for more than a decade. The group deliberately promotes and exploits civilian suffering because it fuels international outrage, isolates Israel diplomatically, and reinforces its narrative of so-called resistance. In this war, Hamas has weaponized Palestinian deaths more aggressively than ever because it knows it works. This calculated use of human tragedy is not a byproduct of war; it is a deliberate Hamas strategy.

@WWE Did anyone lift his arm three times to make sure?

WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. One of pop culture’s most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends, and fans.

@JeremyKamali Ugh, this should never happen anywhere. It happens in America all the time. In 2025, there have been at least 74 incidents of gunfire on school grounds resulting in 25 deaths and 53 injuries. That just in schools.

This morning, 2 Muslim men walked into a supermarket in Gush Etzion and opened fire — targeting random Jews. A 20 year old Jew was killed. If this happened anywhere in America it would be the headline story for a month. In Israel, it happens Every. Single. Week. “Intifada.”

Facts

There’s something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable, and it’s not what they say it is. They’ll point to politics, settlements, borders, and wars. But scratch beneath the outrage, and you’ll find something deeper. A discomfort not with what Israel does, but with what Israel is. A nation this small should not be this strong. Period. Israel has no oil. No special natural resources. A population barely the size of a mid-sized American city. They are surrounded by enemies. Hated in the United Nations. Targeted by terror. Condemned by celebrities. Boycotted, slandered, and attacked. And still, they thrive like there’s no tomorrow. In military. In medicine. In security. In technology. In agriculture. In intelligence. In morality. In sheer, unbreakable will. They turn desert into farmland. They make water from air. They intercept rockets in mid-air. They rescue hostages under the nose of the world’s worst regimes. They survive wars that were supposed to wipe them out, and win. The world watches this and can’t make sense of it. So they do what people do when they witness strength they can’t understand. They assume it must be cheating. It must be American aid. It must be foreign lobbying. It must be oppression. It must be theft. It must be some dark trick that gave the Jews this kind of power. It must be blackmail. Because heaven forbid it’s something else. Heaven forbid it’s real. Heaven forbid it’s earned. Or worse, destined. The Jewish people were supposed to disappear a long, long time ago. That’s how the story of exiled, enslaved, hated minorities is supposed to end. But the Jews didn’t disappear. They actually came home, rebuilt their land, revived their language, and brought their dead back to life — in memory, in identity, and in strength. That’s not normal. It’s not political. It’s biblical. There’s no cheat code that explains how a group of people return to their homeland after 2,000 years. There is no rational path from gas chambers to global influence. And there is no historical precedent for surviving the Babylonians, the Romans, the Crusaders, the Inquisition, the pogroms, and the Holocaust, and still showing up to work on Monday in Tel Aviv. Israel doesn’t make sense. Unless you believe in something beyond the math. This is what drives the world crazy. Because if Israel is real, if this improbable, ancient, hated nation is somehow still chosen, protected, and thriving, then maybe God isn’t a myth after all. Maybe He’s still in the story. Maybe history isn’t random. Maybe evil doesn’t get the last word. Maybe the Jews are not just a people… but a testimony. That’s what they can’t stand. Because once you admit that Israel’s survival isn’t just impressive, but divine, everything changes. Your moral compass has to reset. Your assumptions about history, power, and justice collapse. You realize you’re not watching the end of an empire. You’re witnessing the beginning of something eternal. So they deny it. They smear it. And rage against it. Because it’s easier to call a miracle “cheating” than to face the possibility that God keeps His promises. And He’s keeping them still.

Do. it. Finish the job.

@greengart Also, the only real benefit of Intelligence so far is it forced Apple off the weak 8GB base spec for hardware.

I have the AI section done (rewritten about six times), but I've held off publishing my Apple WWDC report as I deal with other things and get at least a bit of time on OS26 dev betas across Apple's portfolio. Should be up early next week.

@greengart From a MacAdmin perspective, this Dub Dub was the bees knees.

Now stop saying Tehillim?

“Yeshiva coach Jeremy Renna, athletic director Greg Fox and all the players refused comment on the losing streak, according to a university spokesperson.” 🍿
