BREAKING: Iran's IRGC has reportedly planned a massive preemptive strikes against U.S. and Israeli targets, ramping up missile production and a major escalation plan that includes cutting undersea internet cables in the Gulf and a potential ground incursion in Kuwait to seize U.S. bases, as Tehran concluded the June MOU was a U.S. tactic to buy time for a bigger attack, per WSJ.
The IRGC has prepared plans for preemptive attacks against U.S. and Israeli assets, with target banks updated beyond military sites to include economic and strategic targets. Iran has developed capabilities to attack deep-sea fiber-optic cables in the Persian Gulf that carry 30% of global internet traffic — a move that would cause an "economic earthquake."
The cables that keep the Gulf online are in the crosshairs. Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE rely on these specific cables for over 90% of their operations. A strike would cripple banking, e-commerce, and the massive AI and cloud computing hubs that Gulf states have invested billions to build — including data centers operated by Amazon, Google, and Meta.
The region would face immediate, widespread digital isolation. The AI and cloud infrastructure that Gulf states have positioned as the future of their economies would be stranded overnight.
The U.S.-Iran MOU officially ends today, August 17.

Pas tous, mais une majorité oui (enfin au cours de l'année), alors que 65% des Européens soit ne partent pas en vacances, soit partent uniquement dans leur propre pays.

“To eliminate suffering entirely would mean, in the end, extinguishing love and desire as well. Those who love and desire cannot avoid passing through trial and suffering; and over the years, we carry within us lessons that leave their mark like scars, the memories of a journey shaped by freedom and failure, dreams and disappointments.
It is only thanks to the interplay of these elements that the wonders of the soul occur within us, allowing us to sense the richness of our humanity.
To renounce this adventure, both tragic and splendid, in the name of a presumed transcendence of all limits, could mean many things, but it would no longer be human.”
Pope Leo XIV, Magnifica Humanitas (par. 120) (May 15, 2026)

C'est juste la mentalité française qui existe depuis des décennies qui rencontre l'outil idéal pour répondre à ses angoisses. Avoir un diplôme permet juste que le CV ne soit pas immédiatement jeté à la poubelle, c'est un pied dans la porte mais en aucune cas une garantie de compétence. Il permet juste de passer le filtre des préjugés du recruteur.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

The vibes are turning against Dario. I expect this to accelerate until he changes his messaging
Why? Because AI broke the social contract of the internet.
For the last 20 years, people shared their data with tech companies as part of a *symbiotic* relationship. The services got better. Traffic went to your site. Network effects made transactions liquid and simple.
AI broke that contract. AI sucked in the collective IP of civilization and paid out nothing for the inputs. And now Dario goes on TV every day to tell us he is going to break the economy and our children will be poor. But he did that. It’s economic gaslighting.
Dario is the embodiment of the “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this” meme and people are not going to sit there and take it
AI needs a better, more inclusive message. I expect he will realize this eventually. The question is whether he will realize it before it’s too late.

US is preparing for major escalation, engaging US troops directly with ships with Iran's oil for the first time. We are at a fork in the road, either US backs down and Iran emerges as the 4th center of world power in the near term -- or, escalation to prevent that from happening.

They should change the name to "Strait of Schrödinger". It's both open and closed at the same time.

BREAKING: China has called for unobstructed navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a day after US President Donald Trump threatened to blockade it.

Not attacking Taiwan and fixing the issue diplomatically is indeed the most high IQ move you could think of.
Attacking, especially now, would be stupid imo.
That's why I've said for years that China won't attack especially now, because I believe in their intelligence.
If they do attack in a near future it will mean that I was wrong and that they are more emotional than I thought.

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.
