I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

"CHEGOPITHECUS". 😂😂 Depois do deputado Frazão invocar um santo, o deputado Capitão rebate com outra Santa! [intervenção completa sessão plenária de hoje]

Vai votar. Não deixes que os outros decidam por ti.

Jon Stewart just hit it out of the park with the Trump’s administration’s blatant hypocrisy… makes you wonder why they want us so heated and fighting… 🤔

BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel’s assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded. This is not war: it is genocide.

@IM_Rosen My condolences, Eric. Danya touched so many of us in ways that words can hardly capture. His brilliance and kindness remind us of what this world is missing — and that’s why so many of us find ourselves mourning a man we never even met. A great man!

This is absolutely devastating. Danya was an amazing friend and role model not only for myself, but for so many in the chess community. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and everyone who knew him. You’ll be dearly missed, Danya. Rest in peace.

@CLTchesscenter In a world that often forgets the value of gentle souls, Daniel Naroditsky was a rare light. Brilliant, humble, endlessly kind — he made chess feel like poetry in motion. We’ve lost more than a teacher or a player; we’ve lost a truly good man. He will be deeply missed. ♟️🕯️

The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.

@W_Poulos What a beautifully written and deeply sensitive tribute. I feel the same — I never met Daniel, yet his passing has moved me far more than I expected. He wasn’t only an extraordinary player and a brilliant, patient teacher, but a kind, gentle, and profoundly sensitive soul.

I’m not usually affected by the deaths of people I don’t know personally, but this one hurts. Chess Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky has passed away, aged 29. I never met him, but I’ve spent hundreds (maybe thousands) of hours watching his videos. I got back into chess during the Covid lockdowns, and I wouldn’t have fallen in love with the game without his generous, witty, and instructive lessons. A history graduate from Stanford, Naroditsky was the most articulate and lucid commentator and teacher in chess. He was rare: a Twitch streamer and YouTube creator without a hint of ego. Everything he did was in the service of the game he loved. He knew how to instruct weaker players like me. Commonly in his videos he’d say “you might be tempted to play…” followed by the exact terrible move I would have played, and then he’d explain why it was so bad. I hear his voice and his idioms in my head when I play: is the opponent’s threat genuine or only a “paper tiger”? Can you set up a defence so that the opponent’s attack is “biting on granite”? Can you see a follow-up to your “sexy move” or have you succumbed to “onemove-itis?” I’ll never be able to play as well as he did, but his videos always gave the impression that, with enough patience and effort, one day I might be able to. It might be strange to have a teacher younger than you, but it’s even stranger to find out that he’s gone. Remember Philip Larkin’s lines at the end of his poem “The Mower”: "we should be careful Of each other, we should be kind While there is still time." Memory eternal

Paid influencers have started to whitewash Israeli’s Gaza genocide on TikTok after the meeting with Netanyahu in New York

A young Palestinian rapper in Gaza known as MC Abdul released this song. It’s called ‘Shouting At The Wall’ This is talent.

Did I miss something?

Elon Musk is hiding this video of Bill Burr ripping him apart. So don't RT it. Or do if you don't like Elon Musk.

@alexandrosM Wise words!
