Supermarkets in Belgium and Sweden reported sudden changes in the temperatures of their fridges and freezers, sparking fears of a cyberattack similar to those that recently occurred in France, per Bloomberg

Tucker frustrates me terribly over many issues, but on this war he seems to be one of the only people in the US with any platform that actually gets it. I have no doubt Netanyahu is pushing for the most extreme measures: he does it to drive systems insane, but also as a psychological trick to get a little less as a compromise. I still don't believe nuclear weapons will be used: this is a scenario with unknown and unimaginable consequences for the world, which will definitely, definitely, push Iran to develop a nuclear arsenal of its own within weeks. Also, using nuclear weapons against Iran legitimizes the US of nuclear weapons against Israel. And it may not always be clear who used them. I am mostly certain that a major attack on Iran will happen. What Carlson half says here could be the most important part: the license Israel has been issued by the West to enact greater and greater acts of insane barbarism have brought humanity to the brink. Stopping and isolating Israel needs to be a top agenda for everyone, everywhere. It's a shame he doesn't go far enough in this respect. One thing I do know: humanity's indifference to the cries of Gaza's babies will return to haunt it, and collect a steep price. Everybody was warned, but no one listened, and now judgement day (and that's in the case of a conventional war) seems right around the corner. We will deserve whatever we get. We left children to die. We are not worthy of anything

BREAKING: Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs, per the Guardian.

Israeli-American brothers sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for serial sex trafficking —— Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander—three brothers from a prominent Israeli-American family who once dominated high-society real estate and security circles in New York and Miami—were each sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on Tuesday for sex trafficking, conspiracy, and multiple counts of sexual abuse. Presiding US District Judge Valerie Caproni delivered the sentences in a Manhattan courtroom following an emotional, hours-long hearing where more than a dozen survivors delivered harrowing impact statements detailing years of systemic abuse. During the five-week trial, federal prosecutors laid out evidence demonstrating how the brothers exploited their immense wealth, high social status, and Israeli-American background ties to lure women to luxury properties—including estates in the Hamptons and international locations such as Tel Aviv—before drugging and violently assaulting them while incapacitated. While Tal and Oren operated elite luxury real estate brokerages, their twin brother Alon worked as an executive at their family’s security firm, utilizing their network to shield their predatory conduct. Judge Caproni firmly rejected the defendants' late assertions of innocence and unconvincing appeals for mercy, describing their actions as "monstrous" and likening them to "sadistic, misogynistic sexual predators." The landmark sentencing marks a dramatic downfall for the brothers, who maintained their defiant stance even as victims confronted them directly in court. Federal prosecutors had pushed for life sentences, citing the profound psychological trauma inflicted upon more than 70 victims who came forward to investigators.
