Qatar Minster of education Lolwah bint Rashid Al Khater to the US: “…we just need you to leave us alone. To stop igniting wars so that weapons’ companies can make more money. We need you to Stop Bombing Schools, to stop trafficking and raping little kids.”

This directly contradicts Trump and Hegseth’s claims that Iran bombed the area where the Iranian school was hit. We knew it, but it’s good to have the video.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

A tall archway of marble and other stone frames a wooden door with carved panels. One side is open offering a view into a courtyard with further arches and a fountain. The stone doorway is styled with columns either side and a coat of arms at the top with dolphins on each side.

1/x What we have to watch now is if the other companies come with a "buy back" option. It seems that Lloyd's has been blindsided by the start of the war which is unprecedented. It is no secret that Lloyd's, besides having a very competent intelligence service, has a pipeline to and from MI6.

French helicopters assisted Belgian Special Forces to board the MT Ethera. MT Ethera is flying a false flag, which is in violation of international maritime law. As such Belgium has the right to board as per international law. MT Ethera has been brought in to the port of Zeebrugge

The screenshot of the release notes reads:

A new version of TeX Live Utility is available!
TeX Live Utility 1.55 is now available-you have 1.54. Would you like to download it now?
Release Notes:
Changes Since 1.54
• Fix bug 137, homepage link in Help Book.
• First release in a long time, since I don't use TeX anymore and resent the very idea of paying Apple annually for the privilege of giving away free and open-source software. Also, I'm really lazy. Please accept my apologies for all the annoying issues you've encountered in this mission-critical software.
• Updated mirror list, which was three years out of date.
• Added missing legacy mirrors, which was even more out of date.
• Added an alert on startup when user tries Homebrew's lobotomized MacTex, because those lunatics left timgr but removed its database.
Thanks for nothing, guys. Bug 142 and 144.
• Use a custom user-agent to work around the Anubis bot trap on texlive.info. Can't wait to see what else breaks because of this, thanks to the profusion of degenerate Artificial Insemination fetishists scraping websites to feed their models.
• Lists of countries in Repository/Continent are now sorted. No idea how you people let me get away with that one for the last fifteen years.

There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.

Sometimes only a part of a ship is launched. Flotation tests are performed on individual pieces and then the vessel gets assembled. This on the @Fincantieri shipyard in Castellammare di Stabia. The Regio Cantiere di Castellammare di Stabia was founded in 1783.

Emmy Noether was arguably more important for physics than Einstein.

Poincare or someone else would have fully discovered relativity later that year, but anyone other than Noether being able to literally pull the laws of physics right out of abstract algebra would have been unlikely.

It's interesting that Fallout, which began in 1997 (which was 29 years ago btw) depicted Vault-Tec in a way that you simply can't do after seeing the last quarter century of Epstein-adjacent billionaire freaks completely annihilate the cold war idea of malicious competence.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

1/x OK. First of all, let's explain what AIS is. AIS is an Automatic Identification System for ships. It's like a transponder unit transmitting position, identification and some navigational parameters (course, speed, ...) #maritimenews
