Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from February 24, 2026, to March 2, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of February 28. The drop in connectivity aligns with nation-scale internet blackout imposed during joint military strikes by the US and Israel. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered its fourth day, with the national censorship measure now in place for over 72 hours.

The silencing of authentic Iranian voices is fueling a surge in misinformation as pro-regime accounts fill the void with their own narrative.

Important context: Nakasone is on OpenAI’s board.

Slurp 👅

“A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth””

Descrittivo

Io non ho nessuna intenzione di dialogarci. Sono il nemico, in buona o cattiva fede che siano

Yeah sure automate wars, that will make them disappear!

Toward an Understanding of Fascist Aesthetics, Part I The question of whether or not we are living “in fascism” is, I’ve always thought, a kind of useless one, mostly because history does not go backwards: today there is not a “return” to fascism so much...

hello I am now a member of @flaminghydra.com and am kicking things off with a multi part series on fascist aesthetics and what their whole deal is flaminghydra.com/toward-an-un...

Concordo

I thought going to an authoritarian petrostate where critics of the government are routinely rounded up, detained, and tortured would be so fun, because they have nice hotels and pools. But it turns out it isn't so fun for me, personally, anymore.

whoa -- this is new. Trump has a significant rash-like injury on his neck today in addition to his disfigured hand

To reconsider a fundamental of American history, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not an act of war, but merely a strategic strike. It needs to no longer live in infamy, perhaps.

Great read by prof. Snyder, as usual

"Is the war about nuclear weapons, or regime change, or electoral interference? It is about none of these things, of course; it is about feeling good and staying in power. It is a war on truth; but truth can win -- if it finds friends."

The number of fixed-wing aircraft lost in friendly fire incidents today equals the number lost during the entire 20-year span of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11.

War in Iran Spiked Oil Prices. Trump Will Decide How High They Go The conflict in the Middle East is driving oil prices up in a midterm year when Americans are already focused on high energy bills.

The conflict in the Middle East is driving oil prices up in a midterm year when Americans are already focused on high energy bills. Oil prices surged on Monday following the US and Israel’s attacks on Iran this weekend, as some analysts predict that it could soon reach over $100 a barrel.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

Are AI-generated summaries suitable for studying and research? Despite didactic, ethical, and environmental concerns, the use of GenAI is on the rise in academia. For most applications, the jury is still out on whether and how they will benefit education and rese...

This is one of the most reasoned & persuasive arguments for not allowing LLMs anywhere near reading & writing intensive classrooms. We can 100% choose not to outsource our reading & writing labor to a bot, and model for our students why they should do the same. #EduSky

What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?

Opposizione = terroristi, il frame ripetuto alla nausea ogni singolo giorno

Il prossimo passo è trattarli come tali

We must demand to know to what extent humans have been removed from the decision-making loop in the war that Donald Trump and Israel have launched against Iran. Is AI choosing targets? To what extent are weapons being used autonomously? Thanks @sivav.bsky.social

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

Just a matter of time before one of our more putinized Trumpers calls this a "special military operation"

Look at this chart

Il giorno in cui cominceremo a trattare questi fascisti ignoranti come tali verrà sempre un giorno troppo tardi
