I have so far received no response to the question below, roughly 24 hours after submitting it, though I do have a delivery receipt.

@LastStand_Radio @RyLiberty A threat to the entire world.

@LastStand_Radio @RyLiberty Threat to whom, Bill? To whom???

Dan breaks the internet

Nobody is talking about ARXIV going independent in less than 100 days. - They are leaving Cornell behind after 35 years and gonna become standalone. Cornell office work and bureaucracy was holding them back. - The blog says that they will hire faster, adopt to technology faster, and raise money faster starting July 1. - This can mean better AI features to study papers, better plagiarism/quality checkers, expansion into more domains? (my take) I am kinda excited. Arxiv is the backbone for open research access, and if all goes well, they are probably gonna do something big by end of the year.

@LastStand_Radio @RyLiberty I think you’re mistaken Bill. I think you mean Israel. And the US. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Gaza, West Bank and now Lebanon ? Who did those? Big mess, millions killed. I think you’ve got it wrong, Bill. Either you are uninformed or just evil.

@ObjRandom @RyLiberty To every citizen of every westernized country on earth. They have only one goal. They represent every bit of instability in the Middle East.

@DiscussingFilm So cringe it makes it hilarious.

Riz Ahmed jokingly crashes out over people finding the idea of him playing James Bond to be “very funny.” “Me playing Bond was very funny to you?”

@zei_squirrel @threadreaderapp unroll

relevant for what is happening right now, how the US-NATO-Israeli empire maintains its hegemony through outright terror, which requires constant and endless wars: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…

Happy birthday to Noam Chomsky. Here's a compilation of him exposing Western media class "journalists" for the depraved propagandists they are:

Every large company will eventually ban vibe-coding. Vibe-coding is now generating as much technical debt as 10 regular developers in half the time. Vibe-coding is awesome for a first draft, but you can't expect to push AI slop to production and not destroy your software over time. Producing code is no longer a bottleneck. Testing that code, debugging it, monitoring it in production, and fixing it when it breaks is where everyone is spending their time. We've 10x'd the speed of writing code, but we are still in the Stone Age with everything that happens after the code is written. Here is a very cool tool tackling this: You can build "AI Production Engineers" using PlayerZero and make them work for you. These are agents that do this: • Simulate how your code will work in production • Diagnose issues when they happen • Learn from every incident so it doesn't happen again This is pretty awesome! These agents simulate code behavior against real production data. They use actual customer behavior, historical incidents, and edge cases without writing a single test script. When something breaks, the agent traces the issue to the exact line of code and PR, generates the fix, and routes it to the right engineer. And every bug these agents solve serves as training data to improve the system. Here is a link to check them out: playerzero.ai/?utm_campaign=… Thanks to the Player Zero team for partnering with me on this post.

@pgodfreysmith @MicrobiomDigest I have found unherd to often be just as lacking in nuance as any MSM. Freddy is uninformed and opinionated. Maybe marginally better than Claire Lehman’s outfit, whatever it’s called. FP platforms Niall Ferguson. Isn’t that damning enough?! 🤣

I don't know of work in the Free Press that has been looking to tarnish science itself. Cases you have in mind? The troublemaking magazines that rose to prominence round the time of Covid – Unherd, FP, Compact – have been positive additions to the landscape, I reckon, though I read FP less.

A long essay about fraud in science by @opinion_joe – link below – came in at a good time. I'm teaching a course with a lot of Thomas Kuhn in it, especially his analysis of 'normal science.' Struck me that K's emphasis on informal, internal networks is highly relevant..🧵1/

@_ZachFoster @ianbremmer Ian Berklee is a pinhead. A Lagarde fanboi with zero depth, nuance or insight. He missed his calling as a beat reporter, since it is impossible to say that his outfit really covers IR in any detail.

On @IanBremmer: Ian Bremmer on Iran: "In the course of 3 days in January, we saw an estimated 30,000 plus Iranians murdered. And those are numbers that the Trump administration believes. But I've heard those numbers from international organizations. I've heard them from European governments that I trust. I mean, those are real numbers." Ian Bremmer cites a death toll 10X higher than the count provided by the Iranian government & 5X higher than the 6,126 figure of "confirmed deaths" provided by "HRANA," based in Fairfax, Virginia. Ian Bremmer on Gaza: To the best of my knowledge, he has never cited any of the independent estimates published by reputable sources like the Lancet that put the death toll in 186,000 (@ianbremmer, if I missed a post, please correct me). Instead, Ian Bremmer's "Gzero Media" has actually cast doubt on the Gaza Health Ministry figures, unabashedly citing Israeli officials discrediting the data, even though we've known all along they are a dramatic undercount. gzeromedia.com/news/analysis/… If you cite the 30,000 figure as fact, yet challenge the official Gaza Health Ministry data, which we all know is an undercount, you are not an analyst, you are a genocide apologist. youtube.com/watch?v=UW6Y5I…

@JeremyArnold31 @BobbyVylan @declassifiedUK They do that one daily. In fact the “most moral army” cannot survive unless it kills a few kids every few days or so.

@BobbyVylan @declassifiedUK How about death from the IDF, Bob? 📌 💥

@chandler_bin3 @clashreport

@clashreport In any case this is a regime change. He is the regime, he is a terrorist like everybody else in that regime. The only acceptable leader for the iranian is Prince Reza Pahlavi. People did not die in the streets just to change the name of the terrorist. #KingRezaPahlavi

The "Iran-linked terror group" that took responsibility for the arson on the Jewish ambulances in London effectively materialized out of nowhere. It did not exist before the week of March 9, 2026, and unusually, does not have its own Telegram or media channels. ⬇️
