Hi folks, I have thought about this a lot, and I don’t think things like Bluesky are really working out unfortunately. So I will be discontinuing using this account and focusing on Twitter and LinkedIn instead. I appreciate your support as always.
Today is a day of national and international shame.
This famine could have been prevented, if only our government treated Palestinians as human beings whose lives were worth saving.
How can food be blocked yet arms still flow?
The UN says the famine in Gaza is “entirely man-made” and “could be halted & reversed.”
Trump is supposedly a “tough guy.”
Well, it’s time for him to have the guts to stand up to Netanyahu and stop sending billions in U.S. tax dollars to Israel to starve children.
Famine has now been confirmed in Gaza according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) scale. Truly heartbreaking. www.wfp.org/news/famine-...
Great to see Micronaut 4.9 added support for the newly minted Jakarta Data! micronaut-projects.github.io/micronaut-da...
Australia to join the list of counties recognizing Palestine.
The list is more than 75% of the world.

Happy Rakhi! 💛
Do you know Jakarta EE 11 adds support for Virtual Threads? Hantsy Bai has the details. itnext.io/virtual-thre...
Amongst a chaotic and unprecedented job search, life still goes on. The first time I have done job interviews while on vacation with my family.
The Netanyahu government’s extermination of Gaza intensifies. Malnutrition is rampant, children are starving to death, people are shot while waiting for meager food rations — and US weapons allow it to happen.
Trump and Congress must act NOW. Stop the slaughter. Feed the people.
Former U.S. Green Beret Anthony Aguilar says he routinely witnessed Israeli forces (IDF) firing artillery tank rounds and mortar rounds into crowds of unarmed, starving Palestinians at GHF aid sites in Gaza.
“I witnessed war crimes,” the GHF security contractor told the BBC.
I am sick of the tired platitude that for an ally like Israel we must not disagree publicly or in the media.
Not when there is mass starvation.
This is the time for every American to speak up publicly.
PM Netanyahu, let in the food, medicine & aid.
We must not be complicit.
More than 100 aid agencies and rights groups, including Save the Children and Doctors Without Borders, warned on Wednesday that “mass starvation” was spreading across Gaza, adding to growing calls for Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid to the enclave.
One of the most important set of changes in Jakarta EE 11 is Java SE Records support across specifications like Persistence/JPA, Validation, and Expression Language/EL. Hantsy Bai covers the changes with examples. itnext.io/java-record-...
Sayfollah "Saif" Musallet was a 20-year-old American visiting family in the West Bank for the summer. He was beaten to death by Israeli settlers.
The U.S. must immediately launch a full, independent investigation and demand accountability for his death.
An Israeli strike hit a Catholic church in Gaza City on Thursday, killing three people and injuring at least six others, including the parish priest, according to church officials. nyti.ms/4f6godt
I already donate to recognized international organizations. I do not make personal donations for obvious reasons.
One of the most impactful set of changes in Jakarta EE 11 is in Persistence (formerly JPA) 3.2. Hantsy Bai covers the changes with working examples. itnext.io/an-introduct...
Increasingly clear what some people are rushing headlong into is Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The actual science hasn't changed much in years. What's changed is compute power and data volume. AGI is a pipe dream. Ability and profitability of LLMs now should be a clue.
I already do a monthly donation, but to a reputable international non-profit. I never do individual donations for obvious reasons.
The likely first Muslim mayor of the most Jewish city in America. Kudos from a fellow desi. A reason to continue believing the country has a real future.
I give up. Was this all the most dangerous playground brawl in the world?
I’m very sorry, but I don’t do personal donations. I give to very reputable international aid organizations (on a monthly basis). And right now I don’t even have a job.
More utter insanity. This is a high ranking Russian. So the net result of recklessness may be getting to one of the worst outcomes faster.
Horrifying. This madness needs to end now before it goes any further.
Israel's Prime Minister may think no one will notice what he's doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran.
People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food.
The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The world is upside down. Now I am amplifying Tucker Carlson. I am forced to ask myself, where are the so-called liberal journalists and Democrats?
Most understand just how reckless the current moment is. The question is whether the ruling class cares.
Watch this. Seriously. He has always been an outstanding actor and an outstanding human being.
Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator.
The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.
