Although both parties have
“strong incentives” to maintain a ceasefire,
the deal is “extremely precarious,”
says Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi,
professor of international relations of the Middle East at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
“We’re already seeing it being imperiled as we speak,
with ongoing attacks in Lebanon,
as well as reports of [Iranian] attacks in the Persian Gulf.”

“Sigh of Relief”: U.S. & Iran Agree to 2-Week Ceasefire, But Israel Keeps Bombing Lebanon
The United States and Iran have announced a two-week ceasefire, brokered by Pakistan, under which Iran has agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Israel is also part of the agreement, but it has said it will continue its attacks and occupation inside Lebanon. The deal was reached less than two hours before President Trump’s 8 p.m. ET deadline Tuesday for Iran to reopen the strait under threat of destroying every power plant and major bridge in Iran. Although both parties have “strong incent…

Put your name on your work and find like-minded people to share credit with. It is now on you to build not your brand, but the demonstration that you know what's going on.
It is going to be very hard to get a job by printing a list of skills at the top of your resume and hoping to get noticed. It already was and now it's worse than ever.
Be a person on the internet and by that I mean do not hide your person-hood. Your curiosity, your learning, your willingness to consider angles. Professional polish is something the clankers do better than us, because they are trained on all of us doing it.
If not putting your name on your learning, put a stable pseudonym out there. Be known by the work you do and even the mistakes you make and reconsider. Showing that your knowledge has _depth_ is now one of the most important things. We can all vibe up to a basic understanding. It's the people who can see where they went wrong, and course-correct that really are going to carry the day.
You no longer get to be perfect and only show what's finished and polished. And you're gonna have to show your work.

Hm. Google Gemini has humans reading sampled chats for "quality assurance." And you can't opt out. How nice...
I wonder, how ethical would it be to flood Gemini with chats that say mean and nasty things about the human reviewers, for them to see? Or to encourage them to find a better job?
Not that I recommend being cruel to anyone, ever. But... guerilla tactics can be effective.

I compared the privacy of ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity — here’s the one you should trust most with your personal info

Thousands of Vibe-Coded Apps Expose Corporate and Personal Data on the Open Web
Companies like Lovable, Base44, Replit, and Netlify use AI to let anyone build a web app in seconds—and in thousands of cases, spill highly sensitive data onto the public internet.

The rules-based international order,
a system America largely built and championed after World War II,
was predicated on the belief that global maritime and trade norms were foundational,
applying equally to the weak and the strong.
In the Middle East, memories of the Suez Crisis,
combined with the threat of Soviet influence in the Persian Gulf,
precipitated the creation of the Carter Doctrine to ensure this framework was upheld.

The Iran war and the death of the global maritime commons
By asserting control over global chokepoints in its own hemisphere, Washington has weakened its case for free navigation in the Strait of Hormuz

What is the ultimate authority of a king?
It’s to decide whether people live or die, based on his personal preference,
and allowing no challenge to his whims.
That’s the power that Donald Trump holds right now.
The Trump regime’s war against Iran is illegal under U.S. law.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution gives Congress
– not the president

The War Powers Act allows the president to send the milit…

Donald Trump’s license to kill
We must reject White House lawbreaking in Iran, on the high seas, and in U.S. cities
