Zero Hedge: When Elon Musk took over Twitter, fired four out of five employees, and rebranded it X (just because he thought it sounded cool), the talking heads predicted doom for the company. The opposite happened. It is now one of the most popular sources of news in the world, and a major delivery system for what social media is supposed to be. He always had more in mind. He explained at the out…

On Monday he announced, “the United States now has on-orbit space control weapons.” The technical language partly obscures the importance of this statement. Robust networks of satel…

The New American:  Twenty years after Congress passed it, the REAL ID Act finally has teeth. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is now enforcing compliant identification at every domestic security checkpoint, and travelers without it face a $45 fee and mandatory biometric or biographic verification through a new system called TSA ConfirmID before they’re allowed to fly.

It was against the law for the Jews to speak the Lord’s name except for one day each year when it was spoken by the High Priest in the ancient Temple, on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. When they wrote His name they used 4 initials to represent it. They were translated into English as JHVH. The King James translators put LORD, all in caps, where the initials appeared in the Hebrew text. After t…

Washington Free Beacon: The second plane was the most shocking on September 11. Not just because its collision with the World Trade Center was caught on film, but also because it ruled out any innocent explanation. This was not an accident. For the first time in decades, the homeland was under attack. Much about American life would have to change. Conspiracy theories about 9/11 still swirl around…

Anthropic: For most of AI’s history, humans drove every step in its development cycle. But at Anthropic, we are delegating a growing share of AI development to AI systems themselves, which is speeding up our work. Taken far enough, and given enough compute, that trend points to an AI system capable of fully autonomously designing and developing its own successor. This is called recursive self-…

France 24: Israel on Monday threatened a “full-scale war” against the Palestinian Authority if it prepared an attack against Israeli forces or settlements similar to the one launched by Hamas from Gaza on October 7, 2023.

Israel 365 News: Israel now faces the prospect of a new and unfamiliar danger on its northern border: several tons of nuclear material remaining inside Syria, in the custody of a government whose president has declared his intention to pursue a nuclear program, and who Washington itself was hunting under a ten-million-dollar bounty less than a decade ago. This week’s disclosure that International…
