Give women rights.

@Waspapping_ Give women rights.

Most marriages are not working nowadays What is it that we are doing that our parents and grandparents didn't do?

If it's true, you'll kill them all.

@WhiteHouse If it's true, you'll kill them all.

"Iran has just informed us that they are in a “State of Collapse.” They want us to “Open the Hormuz Strait,” as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!)." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

Vous pensez vraiment que si l’homme avait inventé la religion il aurait interdit la fornication, l’alcool et les jeux de hasard ?

"Enemy from within." "Communists, Marxists, fascists, radical left thugs, vermin." "Garbage" Somalis, "low IQ people." "She's an evil, sick, crazy, b..." Republicans want the left to tone down the rhetoric. Erm, have they listened to Donald Trump?? Zeteo put together a montage:

🚨🇺🇸🇦🇪🇦🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪Despite opposition from the US, UAE, Australia, UK, France, and Germany, the UN has elected Iran as Vice President of the 2026 NPT Review Conference.

They seized the hosting rights by force.

@Shadaya_Knight They seized the hosting rights by force.

World Cup about to start soon, no hype, no songs, just nothing. The US was the worst pick to host the World Cup.

The government has spent the past two years turning a blind eye to war crimes in Gaza. Now, the Foreign Office unit that tracks Israeli breaches of international law has closed altogether. This is the last stage of British complicity: pretend it never happened at all.

Indian temple mandates cow urine consumption for entry, says move aims to keep away non-believers.

@doplx This video shows the system isn't normal either. Beating or torturing people not under predefined justice sentence is wrong.

We will never forget how starvation was weaponized as a genocidal policy against the people in Gaza.

⚡️Gaza sources: Israeli bombing targeted a phone charging point where Palestinians had gathered to charge their phones in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, killing and injuring a number of civilians

A Persian scholar finished a single math book in 9th century Baghdad that quietly became the foundation for every line of code running on Earth today. I started reading about him at midnight and could not believe how many things in my daily life trace back to one man. His name was Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. The book is called The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing. Every time you say the word algebra, you are saying his book title. Every time someone says the word algorithm, they are saying his name. Both English words come from him. Both are Latin transliterations of Arabic and of his own identity. The man did not just contribute to mathematics. He named it. Here is the part almost nobody tells you. Al-Khwarizmi was born around 780 CE in Khwarazm, in what is now Uzbekistan. He moved to Baghdad and worked at a research institution called the House of Wisdom, which during the Islamic Golden Age was the single most important center of learning on the planet. The caliph al-Mamun hired the best mathematicians, astronomers, and philosophers from across three continents and put them in one building with one job. Translate, study, and produce new knowledge. Al-Khwarizmi finished his book on algebra around 820 CE. The Arabic title contained the word al-jabr, which referred to one of the two operations he used to solve equations. When the book was translated into Latin in the 12th century, the Latin world did not have a word for what he had built. So they kept his Arabic word. Al-jabr became algebra. The discipline was named after a single Arabic word in the title of a single book by a single man. The deeper insight is what he actually changed about how humans think. Before al-Khwarizmi, mathematical problems were solved geometrically. You drew shapes. You measured them. You compared areas. The Greeks had built an entire mathematical tradition on visual proofs and physical constructions. It was beautiful and limited. You could not solve a problem you could not draw. Al-Khwarizmi did something nobody had done before him at this scale. He said you could solve any problem using abstract symbols and rules. You did not need a shape. You needed a procedure. You moved terms across the equation. You cancelled like terms on both sides. You isolated the unknown. He invented the idea that mathematics is a manipulation of symbols according to rules, not a study of physical figures. That single shift made everything that came afterward possible. Calculus. Differential equations. Linear algebra. Quantum mechanics. None of it works if math is locked inside geometry. He pulled it out. The second thing he did is the one that changed how the world counted forever. He took the Hindu numeral system from Indian mathematics, refined it, and wrote a book introducing it to the Arab world. That system included the concept of zero as a placeholder, and a positional notation where the value of a digit depends on its location. Roman numerals could not do complex calculation. Hindu-Arabic numerals could. When his book on numerals was translated into Latin as Algoritmi de numero Indorum, the word Algoritmi was just the Latin spelling of his own name. Europeans started calling the new method "doing algorism," then "running an algorithm." The word for the most important concept in computer science is literally his name in Latin. The third thing he did is the part that should haunt anyone who works in tech. His method of solving problems was systematic. Step one, do this. Step two, check that. Step three, if condition A, then do X, otherwise do Y. He wrote down procedures that could be followed by anyone, anywhere, who knew how to read. The procedure did not depend on intuition or genius. It worked because the steps worked. That is exactly what an algorithm is. A finite, deterministic procedure for solving a problem. He did not just give us the word. He gave us the entire concept of programming a thousand years before there was anything to program. When Alan Turing built the first abstract model of computation in 1936, when John von Neumann designed the first stored-program computer in 1945, when every engineer at Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind writes code in 2026, they are working in a paradigm that started with one man in Baghdad twelve centuries ago. The strangest part is what happens when you walk into any tech office in San Francisco or Bangalore or Lahore today. Engineers say the words algebra and algorithm hundreds of times a day. They do not know whose name they are saying. Almost nobody can spell al-Khwarizmi correctly on the first try. His original Arabic manuscript is preserved at Oxford. His book on Hindu numerals survives only in Latin translation. The Latin version was the textbook that taught medieval Europe how to count. The man who built the foundation of the AI revolution did not live to see a calculator. He died around 850 CE, a thousand years before the first electric current was sent through a wire. The civilization he built mathematics for collapsed. The library he wrote in burned. His own grave is unmarked. But every algorithm running on every machine on Earth right now still answers to his name.

@mehdirhasan @kampeas Dream 😂?

This is the second time this week you have put words in my mouth. I didn’t say anything about race, I pointed out how a group of former Indian Christians, whose leader in 1951 had a dream that they’re descended from one of the ‘ten lost tribes,’ are obviously not indigenous to the land of Palestine - unlike Palestinians who are being dispossessed to make way for them. Unless you’re really suggesting these Indian ex Christians are indeed indigenous to the land of Palestine (DNA testing and common sense both doesn’t support you, btw).

Mehdi, we don’t define ourselves as a race but as a people. Race is an ugly construct, one you are perhaps unintentionally indulging here. Palestinians by the way are also diverse - not to the same extent perhaps, but diverse. I would never mock a Black Palestinian.

@TimesofIsrael Saying this should no longer be considered as antisemitic, not that anyone cares.

Trump is going to go for staged assassination attempt again blame it on Iran I will put a 25% chance on this play Trump has lost all global respect (such that he had)....allies and enemies alike, laughing at him
