The new November data for Winter 2026/2027 takes another step toward a colder and snowier pattern across a large part of the United States, while Europe stays in the mild Super El Niño influence. But two major models now show a potential Polar Vortex disruption in mid-winter, and that could change the second half of the season on both sides of the Atlantic. severe-weather.eu/long-range…

A severe drought is unfolding in Fiji. Families wake before sunrise just to secure enough water for the day. Meanwhile, Stewart & Linda Resnick, the Zionist billionaires who own the billion-dollar brand "Fiji Water", enjoy 24/7 uninterupted access to the nation’s water supply.

I'm not a particularly fast reader, but even I can manage 544 pages in about 12 hours. Who are these morons who think this is an achievement? I know people who can do it in under 5 hours!
Sir, I read much faster than that, as do many people I know.

Go step in the shower, turn only the cold tap, and soak yourself fully clothed. Then, if you’re in an area where it’s about 55°F/13°C, go outside. This is what families, displaced and unsheltered due to Israeli bombing and aid restrictions, are enduring in Gaza following floods.
150,000+ tents are sitting outside Gaza as it floods. About 117,000 are waiting in Egypt's El Arish, according to the UN. "Humanitarian funding and Israeli approvals are urgently needed so that enough supplies and machinery can be brought into Gaza.”

The plot twist is pure comedy: Washington think tanks spent two days hallucinating that Alice Huang is a master Chinese operative who weaponised her surname into an espionage network, only for the Financial Times to drop that the Chinese Ministry of State Security was literally asking who she was because they had no idea either. Washington claims she is working for Beijing, Beijing is investigating her for smuggling, and Meanwhile 600,000 neutered Nvidia chips are sitting in Hong Kong because nobody wants to clear the customs paperwork. You cannot script a funnier geopolitical circus. Ahahahaha, I can't with these clowns !!
Replying to @EleanorOlcott
It is also notable that the Chinese spy agency was itself digging for information on Alice Huang.

🇵🇦 🇺🇸 Panama’da Bir Maden Protestosunda Otoyolu Kapatan Göstericilerden İkisini Vurarak Öldüren Amerikalı Profesör! ABD vatandaşı Kenneth Darlington, otoyolu kapatan göstericilere ateş açmış. İki kişi hayatını kaybetmişti. Mahkeme, 77 yaşındaki eski avukatın meşru müdafaa savunmasını reddetmiş ve 48 yıl hapis cezası vermişti. Göstericiler, Panama hükümetinin bir bakır madeninin işletme süresini 20 yıl daha uzatan anlaşmasını protesto etmek için otoyolu kapatmıştı. Anlaşma, Kanadalı First Quantum Minerals’ın yerel iştiraki Minera Panamá’ya Cobre Panamá adlı açık ocak bakır madenini işletmeye devam etme hakkı veriyordu. Bir 20 yıl daha uzatma seçeneği de vardı. Göstericiler, madenin ormanlık alana zarar verdiğini ve su kaynaklarını tehdit ettiğini savunuyordu. Saldırıdan üç hafta sonra, 28 Kasım 2023’te Panama Yüksek Mahkemesi anlaşmayı oybirliğiyle anayasaya aykırı buldu.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Darlington'un 48 yıl hapis cezası tarafların mutabık kaldığı ceza anlaşmasıyla verildi; mahkeme kayıtlarında meşru müdafaa savunmasının ileri sürüldüğü ve reddedildiğine dair bilgi yok. apnews.com/world-news/gen… newsroompanama.com/2024/06/11/ken… laestrella.com.pa/panama/naciona…

我一直觉得是对华鹰派联合媒体在中期选举合谋猎杀英伟达和黄仁勋,但是媒体发表的标题文章味道越来越奇怪,充满了赤裸裸的种族歧视,现在发现他们都只是台前的打手而已,不得不让我重新审视最早纽约时报发表间谍新闻的记者 @AnaSwanson ,为什么对那么显而易见荒谬的线索高举高打,直到我检索了她过去里面,所有关于 ai 关于芯片科技关键新闻稿件以及深度报告中的重复核心信源,了解媒体工作的一定熟悉不是非常紧密和信任的关系不会信这么长期高频次的联络采纳其观点,你们猜我发现了谁—Jack Clark。 Anthropic 联合创始人、政策主管 / Anthropic Institute 负责人
我找到了关键线索,谁是推动猎杀黄仁勋的真正推手,正在整理发布。

Don't make the mistake of thinking this is about his infidelity. These articles will not stop until he agrees to follow Anthropic's proposal to block inference for unsigned and registered open-models in the firmware of modern GPUs. This is a pretty transparent concerted effort at centralizing control over compute ressources and the ability to execute ever more powerful local models. Jensen is the tip of the spear pushing back at this (in part for his own economic reasons). I'm team Jensen, his affairs are none of my business, not even the alleged support of circumvention of export controls are my business, his position on open-weight models is.
Jensen Huang must go We argue in @TheEconomist that his position is untenable "Like many powerful leaders, he came to believe that he was too important for the normal rules to apply to him." But he is not the only one. Howard Lutnick has failed to stem the flow of chips to China. More heads should roll

ISRAEL IS GOING TO MURDER THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PROSECUTOR.
INSANE: A spy chief is terrorizing an International Criminal Court prosecutor, threatening her safety, family and career, showing secret photos of her husband to coerce her into dropping a war-crimes probe. Which intelligence agency does he lead? Agency only @grok

Modi & Shah taking panga with a fearless Norwegian woman journalist is going exactly like you would expect. 😂 Helle, give them hell! Reminder - this all started cos she asked a question. That's it. She asked Modi a question.
I got a visa to India and was supposed to leave this morning to attend the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad. I had been invited as a panelist and speaker on the future of media and press freedom. But «orders from above» in the Ministry of Home Affairs have cancelled my visa. Here is my message for @AmitShah

It does not matter. I cannot stress enough how much it does not matter. Democrats failing to show up to a vote on something the public cares about is an abdication of responsibility and an insult to all those who made the election results what they ended up being.
Whip Clark told Dems in their whip meeting this am she was disappointed about those who missed the Hegseth vote yesterday (Tho Democrats note that with Massie as the only R who voted against the motion to refer, it might not have changed the outcome anyway)

This is beyond parody. The email that caused hundreds of schools to close in Italy today was sent by a certain “Mikhail Andropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misogynistan” — so you have Russia, Islam and far-right incelism all wrapped into one. There are only two options here: either our governments are led by morons or they are deliberately engaged in a strategy of tension to terrorise the public (while having a laugh on the side).
Breaking news: Hundreds of schools across Italy, and some in Scotland and Ireland, received a wave of bomb threats on Wednesday, in what appeared to be the latest co-ordinated attack aimed at disrupting life in Europe ft.trib.al/ydMBey6

In 2023, the University of Madras hiked the PhD thesis submission fee from ₹100 to ₹25,000 for full-time scholars. I asked under RTI who approved it. It took three years, two appeals and REPEATED DIRECTIONS from the State Information Commission to get an answer. Here is what that answer exposes. #MadrasUniversity 1/9
For 2 YEARS, University of Madras has been violating the RTI Act with impunity. On 11 Oct 2023, I filed an RTI request seeking basic information about PhD fees. What followed is a masterclass in institutional opacity & contempt for transparency. A thread 🧵 1/10

A reason why you must vote for educated leaders.
#WATCH | Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath says, "...You celebrated Diwali and several people are saying that it caused pollution. I said, 'Don't worry; pollution would be mitigated as well'. Nobody says anything to those who polluted the entire system with their corrupt misdeeds. But if the public burst crackers one day, it created pollution! If pollution occurred, it would be mitigated as well. No problem. It is good that people celebrated Diwali with 'dhoom-dhadaka' and burst crackers. We decided not to impose any prohibitions. I, too, was in the middle of fireworks in Ayodhya. When someone celebrates a festival, people speak up about pollution, but not when someone does anything wrong."
