“We came to bring back governance. This is real Jewish Power!” Jewish thugs are now walking through Lod's Arab neighborhoods with clubs, terrorizing the locals. The man filming explains why: “Nineteen seats whetted their appetite. We came to explain to them who the landlords are.” Arab parties won a record 19 seats in last month’s election. These are the brown shirts of Israeli Nazism, angry that Palestinians have dared to vote and ask to be represented.

Israeli terror across the West Bank has become a daily occurance. With each attack that goes unpunished, Palestinians are further dehumanized. Palestinians are not silent. The world chooses to ignore their screams.

Sabéis los que me conocéis que siento debilidad por el arco de Taq-i Kisra, único vestigio del legendario palacio sasánida de Ctesifonte. En su día, compitió con Santa Sofía como la estructura más ambiciosa de la Antigüedad. Hoy, pese a los esfuerzos (1/2)

If journalists like Courtney weren’t reporting from Lebanon we wouldn’t know that Israel is still killing people and demolishing homes. Because legacy media doesn’t care.
Report from Qantara, where Israeli forces are continuing demolitions of civilian homes and infrastructure. On Wednesday a man documenting the destruction was murdered by an Israeli drone strike.

JP Morgan Chase's Global CISO and Head of Cybersecurity Defense in depth is the only way through 🫡
if you’re working for a company in cybersecurity, you should be evaluating your options to abstract your companies services from the internet what i mean is: why allow an unauthenticated anonymous agent of an attacker to interact with your systems? consider your architectural levers now, you’re going to need them

About 1,200 km (745 miles) off Mexico lies a lonely ring of coral that belongs to France. In July 1917 an American warship found its last inhabitants: three women, a teenage girl and seven children. However, that very same morning two of the women had killed their 'king'. 1/n

How is Russia's network inside Spain organised, and how does it push content? Our 11-week analysis of Spain's information space shows three layers. Layer one: the hub. A Telegram channel run from Moscow by Enrique Arias Gil, a Spanish political scientist living under Russian protection. It is small, about 500 readers per post. Its job is not reach. Its job is production: translating Russian hacktivist attack claims into Spanish within the hour, publishing recruitment offers for informants, hackers and soldiers, and doxxing Spanish security personnel. Everything above it is Russian. Everything below it is built to look Spanish.
Spain votes on Nov 29. Russia is already inside the conversation. An 11-week OSINT investigation collected 54,737 posts across X, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, mapped 10,773 accounts and 3,284 network links. The headline isn't "disinformation." It's recruitment. A Spaniard in Moscow is openly hiring his own countrymen as informants, hackers and soldiers. In Spanish. During the campaign. Around him, a ring of pro-Russian channels with ~500K subscriptions feeds ready-made narratives to ordinary Spaniards, deciding how every crisis gets explained before the facts arrive. This is a national security problem dressed up as a media problem. Full report:

🇫🇷 "I have two passions: the brass band and the revolution." A chant led by marching orchestras has become an anthem of France's protest movement. In Paris on Thursday, several hundred musicians and singers from the Orchestre du Nouveau Monde led the march from Place de la République to Place de la Nation. The orchestra, founded about six years ago, has about 250 members, mostly students, young workers and amateurs, and uses classical music to campaign for social and climate justice. Conductor Étienne Jarrier marked the general strike day on Thursday and urged the movement to "block the country." The orchestra has called for bands to form at protests nationwide under the slogan "Orchestras everywhere, silence nowhere." Organizers say 25 cities answered, including Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Strasbourg and Lille. The chant's lyrics: J'ai deux passions (I have two passions), La fanfare, la révolution (The brass band, the revolution). Vive les blocages, les sabotages (Long live the blockades, the sabotage), Les ZAD et les manifs sauvages ! (The ZADs and the wildcat marches!) J'ai deux passions (I have two passions), La fanfare, la révolution (The brass band, the revolution), Se soutenir, construire le rêve (Support each other, build the dream), Que la terre entière se soulève ! (Let the whole world rise up!) xitter.gq/ciancianella/status/21…

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points. (clip via @DropSiteNews)

Pressure and temperature don’t really exist, says my guest, mathematician and physicist @getjonwithit. Look at water closely enough and there is just molecules bouncing around. We invented those properties because we can’t see individual molecules. Other key moments from our conversation: >A galaxy-sized intelligence wouldn’t know what we meant by “temperature.” It could track every particle. It would never need our equations. Jonathan thinks all of physics is like this, with space, time and particles dissolving at high enough resolution. >Relativity and quantum mechanics both came from one realization: the observer is part of the universe, under the same limits as the thing being measured. Once you ask what a limited observer would actually see, both theories become unavoidable. >Intelligence and consciousness may work against each other. Far more sensory data arrives than your brain can process one piece at a time. That’s why it batches that data (pain, pleasure, the color red etc). AI might become less sentient as it gets smarter, because it stops needing the shortcuts. >Jonathan says his digestive system is probably conscious. It has enough neurons to model the world and has the same bottleneck as the brain. It just can’t speak (reminded me of Michael Levin). >General anesthesia may not actually knock you out. As best we understand it, anesthesia makes you calm, paralyzed and unable to remember. It turns off the conscious part of you from the part that can report. This would explain why so many people have PTSD from surgery. Full interview below
