The circle of life 🧵
Yesterday my son Shaked became a bar mitzvah. One of the happiest days of our lives.
Little did we know what was coming right after.

Grandma Rivka. The “cool” grandma. Always dropping by on her way to the pool, with her watered-down Sprite bottle, her artichokes, The Bold and the Beautiful. Not the classic Moroccan grandma. Uniquely herself.

A part of me finds this funny... 🤣
The other part finds it sad... 😞
Is this how the most powerful/influential people express themselves and interact?
Didn't fart jokes stol being funny after high school?

OK, I concede, Argon 4 is amazing. But what is the actual meta for using it ? Cursor? Gemini CLI? Direct API into a toaster? I know the harness changes everything, but I am simply too lazy to A/B test dev tools today. Please share your workflow so I can shamelessly steal it. 👀
My prediction:
Lowering the acceptance rate will cause an inflation in the number of submissions (PhDs have ro graduate ...)

Footage of the starving and emaciated 25-y-old Evyatar David being forced to dig his grave in a Hamas tunnel went viral across the world in August 2025
He later said Hamas doesn't care about Gaza or Palestinians. They just want all of Israel and to kill every Jew living there

The American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin's mother says that the 330 days when Hersh was kidnapped were an excruciating form of suffering for her as she knew her son was being tortured, tormented, starved, abused and maimed.
After being told he had been murdered, she realized that those 330 days had been "the good part" because he was alive and she had hope of seeing him again.
In 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against 5 Hamas leaders: Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, Marwan Issa, Khaled Mashal, Ali Baraka and Ismail Haniyeh.
The indictment included charges of terrorism, conspiracy to murder Hersh Goldberg-Polin and 42 other American citizens.
Mashal and Haniyeh lived in Qatar under protecting by the Qatari state for many years. Mashal is still there.
