A French doctor supporting the Ebola outbreak efforts in the DRC contracted the virus and is now receiving care in France. "France has set up a 'dedicated monitoring system' for aid workers returning from DR Congo." www.bbc.com/news/article...

France confirms first Ebola case

More than 260 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo are known to have died during the current outbreak.

Am I really supposed to believe the country that probably has satellites that can read license plates from space "mistook" a school for a military complex? Totally a coincidence that their intelligence partner is the schools & hospitals bombing world champion.

Israeli soldiers were killed by brown people terrorism while Lebanese buildings simply disintegrate and Iranian school girls spontaneously stop being alive - similar to how Palestinian babies just instantly combust in well-documented examples written up by the NYT.

Attacks leave dead vs killed

Came out of a 2 year long hackathon retirement to win 🏆 GRAND PRIZE at TreeHacks 2026 !!! In 36 hours, we: - Manufactured, designed, and built an entire 4-armed surgery robot (+ a 6am trip to Home Depot). - Wrote our own inverse kinematics control system.

In any meeting or class now millennials are the only ones with laptops open in front of them. We are stuck in our ways and flanked by older & younger generations of people who can manage with just a phone.

Incredible, but more curious as to who in the UN stayed to listen to someone that has been deemed a war criminal by the UN's international criminal court.

Django's class-based views (CBVs) destroy locality. You lose control over data AND control flow. self acts as a global scope & all control flow is hidden. This is compounded with intermingled model & form method calls. @lukeplant.me.uk was right spookylukey.github.io/django-views...

Without urgent, radical intervention, #Gaza faces total annihilation. We call for an immediate end to evacuation orders used as a tool of forcible displacement, a lasting ceasefire and the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid at scale. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-th...

Israel continues its genocide and war on international law and morality with “exploding robots,” tanks, bombs, famine and civilian assassinations “The majority of people in those areas do not have the luxury to pack up and leave because there is no safety anywhere.”

‘Fields of rubble’: Israel, destroying Gaza City, kills 78 across enclave

Once teeming and crowded with residential buildings, Gaza City is home to one million now facing forcible displacement.

A university and an academic publisher walk into a bar. The publisher orders a pint, sells it back to the university, asks the barman to pay the bill.

I got access to a top-secret preview of the inquiry: - Israeli military flawless, doing great job at ethical cleansing - The journalists were Hamas - The hospital was Hamas - The explosion was Hamas too, more Hamas than the hospital even - Any questioning of this inquiry is Hamas

#BREAKING Israeli army says to conduct 'initial inquiry' after strike on Gaza hospital, which Gaza's civil defence agency said killed 15 people including four journalists

Israel is deliberately depriving people of water in #Gaza. The amount of water available for Palestinians is incredibly insufficient. This is unacceptable: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-is...

Israel has no "Gaza War" - not for Gaza, nor for narrative. Israel massacres Palestine as its fascist genocidal solution to the Nakba's echoes, and massacres the truth with US/EU support. Journalists, aid workers, infants, educators, athletes, poets, artists - they're obstacles to extermination.

There’s a new term for our new reality: ‘echoborg’ is someone who just parrots a LLM like ChatGPT. You know, the ‘Grok, is this true?!’ crowd en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echoborg

Got this really cool, ghostly picture by accident the other day in Dillon Beach, CA. It is a Heermann's gull with both it's shadow and reflection. #birds

NEW: A Gaza Humanitarian Foundation contract leader is in a biker club seeking to fight "Islamic Extremism." One chapter held an anti-Ramadan pig roast. The US contractor — who's supposed to help deliver aid to Palestinians — once hailed Israel as "God’s Chosen Nation." @zeteo.com

The US contract leader, who is supposed to help deliver aid to Palestinians, once promoted Israel as “God’s Chosen Nation" and was previously debarred from contracting with the government.

DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD AND WATER IN TO GAZA. This is from Lemkin Institute begging..... we are all begging.

Israel out there blasting churches with tanks, blowing up schools and stores and hospitals, emptying turrets into 6 year olds, executing medical personnel and journalists, suffocating babies, and forcing millions to starve in concentration camps. Saying that's genocide is terrorism, though.

Hard to phrase it better. Simon has been a superb software engineer before LLMs (he created Django and many others.) He’s been using and experimenting with these tools, uses them better than most of us devs and remains a superb software engineer. Some things don’t change

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.
