May #Hezbollah and the Houthis both collapse soon

#Hamas and Palestinian [[Islamic Jihad]] in the Gaza Strip, Shia militias in Iraq, the #Houthi rebels eventually occupying western Yemen, and the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria

May they all fall for the good of the people, Muslim and non-Muslim alike.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei obituary Supreme leader of Iran who maintained theocratic rule at home and an anti-western axis of resistance in the Middle East

[[New Iranian revolution]] now!

Hope the [[Iranian regime]] falls soon and bombs don't hit many civilians and non-oppressors!

This is good news in the middle of bad news. I know many Iranians who will rejoice at the development, even while dreading the wider consequences of war as we all should.

Iran state media confirms killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after US-Israeli missile strikes Confirmation of supreme leader’s killing follows announcement by Donald Trump that ‘one of the most evil people in history, is dead’

Woke up to the news that #Khamenei is confirmed dead!

Everybody else: tries to make sense of Trump's actions.

Meanwhile, Trump's internal discourse:

"Bomb Iran,
Bomb Iran,
Bomb the Mullahs
Out of Tehran."

I don't like bombing but if you're going to bomb anyone you might as well bomb the Ayatollah. So there's that relative bright side to today's news.

I hope the Iranian regime falls and so do the Houthis and all their other agents, with minimal suffering for all.

One of the best things about #AI is that it was trained on pirated data.

I'm not joking -- this really is a positive IMHO, digital piracy is a good thing.

Results so far in a #Fediverse poll about #AI and coarse political alignment.

I felt fear today, about the future, but then felt better

I think I just figured out a way to do [[time travel]]

A lot of people on both wings *do* feel very mob/hegemonic groupthink oriented indeed... I see it as Moloch playing both sides essentially

Ea! Podemos hablar en español cuando quieras. Quizás sobre aprendizaje e IA? :)

I feel like at least on bluesky if people want long form they write a leaflet.pub and then push that to bluesky. Both of them live on the same atproto repo #DataSovereignty

And you're on the safer side, over in the Fediverse someone just told me left wing AI enthusiasts should be thrown into an active volcano.

I'm an anti-wing ai optimist

Love it!

Nice, what are your interests nowadays?

It's weird, they banned me with a senseless reason (something like impersonating people/being untruthful (!)) and haven't answered a single one of my appeals so far. My guess is that it might actually have been because of my posts about crossposting?
