Ukrainian veteran Ruslan Knysh is just 20 years old. Still, he continues to defend his country after losing both arms and legs in a Russian drone attack. Today, he is training to become a drone pilot by using a customized chin controller to operate unmanned ground vehicles. abcnews.link/H2WKOYt
If you think Polymarket and Kalshi were doing numbers on young men, just wait
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan, I owe you an apology, I was not familiar with your game. The Kyrgyz put on an impressive Olympics-level ceremony for the opening of the 2026 World Nomad Games. Beautiful display of traditional Central Asian culture with modern elements and 100s of horses. Central Asia may be one to watch this century, the next economic success story? Many of Asia’s top leaders were in attendance.
Watched this segment and my immediate thought was the sentiment of this tweet 😭😭
People who don’t understand the world hear some right wing propaganda mired in faux intellectualism on a ~Paramount TV~ series and think “Na they’re dropping gems on there”
Voilà!

In markets and politics, we’re approaching the limits of Fiat World, where reality is declared rather than experienced. You can redefine ‘unconditional surrender’ all you want, but you can’t just deny the existence of a credit default or a refinery explosion.
Leavitt on what Trump means by demanding Iran's unconditional surrender: "When he as commander in chief determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the US and the goals of Operation Epic Fury have been fully realized, then Iran will essentially be in a place of unconditional surrender whether they say it themselves or not"

Many older folks (even many in their 30s who haven’t set foot on campus in years) don’t grasp this & may never: our politics are about to get *far more radical *economically in the coming years, on both the left & the right. Zohran is a sneak preview. You don’t have to like it. It’s coming regardless. You’ve been warned. Get ready.

Paraphrasing a locked account I saw this quote tweeted on, but Trump is shilling his most unpopular piece of legislation of all time, and just bombed Iran (also widely hated). Dem leadership spending any amount of time smearing Zohran right now tells you all you need to know

It rules being in the last generation to learn anything in an already disturbingly illiterate time. If you’re a book-reader born before 1997 you get to be a genius for the rest of your life

People are never going to admit it - or possibly never going to grasp it - but the inevitable byproduct of us allowing years of faux-activism, pseudo-intellectualism, brand-building, and grift disguised as collective uplift to escape real public scrutiny is this naked buffoonery.
