Finally, someone is talking about the Iraqi shepherd who discovered a secret Israeli military site in Iraq’s desert and was hunted down and killed by Israeli forces, who sent a helicopter after him and opened fire until his vehicle burst into flames. nytimes.com/2026/05/17/wor…

This is Iraqi shepherd Awad Al-Shammari, who uncovered the secret Israeli military site in Iraq’s desert back in March before authorities were aware of it. He was later killed by Israeli forces, who reportedly targeted his vehicle in the area.

“We spotted nine Polymarket accounts, all connected, who made, collectively,$2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. military operations,” says Nicolas Vaiman, co-founder of the small data analytics firm Bubblemaps. “And now here's the crazy part: 98% win rate.” cbsn.ws/4wwp0T7

Source after source told 60 Minutes they fear today’s insider trading scandal about military secrets is tomorrow’s national security scandal. If market-watchers can spot irregular trades, surely enemies can, too. And they’ll make their war plans accordingly. cbsn.ws/4uVMNdv

Texas teachers worked 187 days last year for an average salary of about $55,000. Members of the House of Representatives worked about 87 days last year for $174,000, and Mike Johnson has the audacity to complain about it??

HOPE rules! A Spielbergian scifi action thriller via Korean dark comedy that starts with an hour long action scene that leads to a delightful creature feature. A bit War of the Worlds, Aliens, & Predator. Jung Ho-yeon has one of the great character intros of all time. A blast!

Silver Swan Automaton… no motors, built in 1773 and still working perfectly. The Silver Swan is powered entirely by mainsprings and brass clockwork gears. Why did we stop creating such elegant engineering and beautiful pieces of art… timeless and built to last?

My hot take is US Senators should be paid whatever their states minimum wage is. That’s how you represent your constituents, you live like them.

A lot of people forget that the Fire Lord title isn’t a lifetime position by force. A ruler can willingly step down and pass the throne to the next generation while still being alive. That’s basically what Zuko did with Izumi and honestly, it fits his character perfectly even from the letters Aang wrote to Zuko you’ll have known Zuko preferred going on adventures compared to rulings if you know you know. Even before Zuko, the rightful heir was technically Iroh after Azulon died. But Iroh never chased the throne after losing his son. Instead of ruling from the chair, he guided the fire nation from the shadows helping Zuko become the kind of Fire Lord the nation actually needed.Zuko clearly learned from that. Unlike Ozai, who raised his children through fear, pressure, and manipulation, Zuko wanted his daughter to actually experience leadership early, make decisions herself, and grow into the role naturally instead of being suddenly thrown into power and that’s why she followed him to meetings. By the time of LOK, Zuko had already spent decades rebuilding the Fire Nation and repairing its image after the 100 year war, and helping maintain world balance. He probably felt the nation was stable enough to let the next generation lead while he served more an advisor similar to what Iroh became for him for his daughter. It’s actually one of the biggest signs that Zuko successfully broke the toxic cycle of Fire Nation leadership. Instead of clinging to power like Ozai or Azulon, he trusted the next generation enough to let go of it.
