War Detective (@seekersomething) reported@JosephJakeKlein All these were presented in the media as starvation victims in the summer 2025, but every single one had pre-existing conditions: 1. Mohammed Al-Mutawaq: He has cerebral palsy, proven by the medical report signed by Dr Saeed Mohammed Al Nassan on 20th May 2025, also confirmed by NY Times later and by the Anti-Israel site Drop Site News. The death of his father was also used as a framing for this story, claiming that: "Mohammed's father was killed last year when he went to seek food". But footage and reports from that day and location showed that he was most likely killed on the battlefield, as a Hamas soldier. 2. Youssef Matar: Toddler with cerebral palsy. He was initially meant to be used by NY Times as the cover photo, but they agreed to not do it when they found out that he had the pre-existing illness. So NY Times then changed the image to Mohammed, that later turned out to have the very same condition as him. 3. Osama Al-Raqab: He has been in Italy receiving treatment since 12th June 2025. This was confirmed in September 2025 by the hospital in Verona, by the doctor there, where he was treated for leaky SCID. 4. Karam Khaled Al-Jamal: He was 27 years old but on the images he was so skinny that he was presented like a child in the media. On 31 July 2025 he was reported dead by malnutrition. According to the IDF he had a lifelong muscular dystrophy and partial paralysis, confirmed by both Palestinian media and Turkish media: "Karam, who had suffered from muscular atrophy and hemiplegia since childhood". 5. Abdullah Abu Zarqa: Has a genetic disease causing deficiencies, osteoporosis, and bone thinning. 4 months before the outbreak of the war, he traveled with his mother to receive medical treatment in East Jerusalem. 6. Atef Abu Khater: Was severely burned on his foot and hand in a soup kitchen. This led to a form of psychological distress by which he stopped eating and drinking. 7. Mosab al-Debs: He sustained a critical injury that resulted in a portion of his skull being removed and severe brain hemorrhaging, leaving him completely paralyzed. 8. Najwa Hussein Hajjaj: Suffered from a long-term condition that causes vomiting and requires specially prepared food for her to digest properly. 9. Hamza Mishmish: Living with disabilities since birth and was confirmed by Drop Site News to suffer from cerebral palsy. 10. Maryam Dawas: Suspected of having a serious undiagnosed stomach illness, causing diarrhoea, intestinal malabsorption and unspecified severe protein-energy malnutrition. Her mother and her brother can be seen looking healthy in the images from that location. Her illness is proven by the medical file from Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital. 11. Najwa Hussein Hajjaj: She had esophageal stenosis. This was later confirmed by Drop Site News, in an interview with her mother: "Before the war started, we had taken her to the hospital, and she was diagnosed with esophageal stenosis. Her condition had not yet worsened, and a surgery was scheduled for December 4, 2023". 12. Jana Ayad: This story was first presented as being from 2025, but already in June 2024 she was seen in a hospital showing these conditions and then reported for the same thing still in September 2025. So if the conditions were ongoing during such a long time, is it likely that they came from the lack of food? Well Jana's sister Joury died of kidney problems in July 2025 and her father had left the Gaza Strip for medical treatment before the war.

Julian Waller 📖 (@JulianWaller) reportedHappy to state plainly that I'm going to need a *lot* more on how tactical nuclear weapon employment fits into the picture here. It doesn't match the pattern of horizontal escalation, it's not anywhere close to a doctrinal next step under any escalation model, there are no sudden battlefield losses or fundamental threats to the inviolability of the state, 'we need to shake ourselves out of stagnation seems entirely disproportionate, and it would be obviously destabilizing to both friendly foreign relations and domestic audiences. I have no problem withholding judgment or doing the 'analyst must just sit and wait' thing. But I'm really not convinced by the chatter.

Tired Ⓐf Bun (@GeneFrienby) reported@ArieliteAi I largely agree, but do think there is some cross over on its impact for gaming. Gacha is worse imho, but like the new battlefield was built as a live service as an example. Despite selling so well initially, it's live service nature lead to it being a commercial flop

🌑🕷️RiskE80🕷️🌑 (@RiskE80_) reported@clarityysix But then again I guess it is kindve a vague definition cuz there are games that are considered live service but have a similar content cycle like Borderlands (CoD, GTA Online, Battlefield) where they make a game, make new content, then make a new game eventually, repeat

Zero (@ShiroaZero) reported@Lawd_Arbiter The problem is that the 3.5 Did she feel too Chinese perhaps? I still don't understand the moments when they started singing And the bit about Yangyang singing in the middle of a battlefield seems more like a meme than anything else. I'll give it up to 3.7 in case it improves

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕻𝖗𝖔𝖕𝖍𝖊𝖙 (@Prophet_Poe) reportedI fell in love with you and now I don't know what to do. Those three words still don't feel like enough. But can you tell me, what's greater than love? Maybe trust when the trembling starts, when the past comes crashing through the barricades of my heart. When I wake with the taste of old mistakes in my mouth, cold sweat on my neck, hear the city breathing outside. Blue light through the blinds, 3am alive, while I'm staring at the ceiling trying to bargain with time. I've carried dead names like stones in my coat, buried whole chapters but still smell the smoke. Some memories don't fade. They ferment in the flesh, turn a man into a maze with a war in his chest. I've learned how to laugh while I'm breaking in half, make a joke at the table while I'm choking on facts. Everybody loves the armor, nobody asks what it costs. How much iron can a wounded man carry before he's lost? I remember the nights when the silence got loud, when the walls felt closer and the floor disappeared. I could taste every tear like salt and regret, feel the rough cotton sleeve soaking wet from my face. I have slept with my fists clenched tight as a vice, dreamed of running from myself but woke up inside. That's the cruelest part. There ain't nowhere to hide when the enemy knows every scar you keep inside. And you? You touched the places I kept underneath the debris, like sunlight finding weeds through the cracks in concrete. Your perfume on my hoodie, your fingerprints on my skin, little evidence that something good might still get in. I heard your voice and the whole damn room changed, like rain hitting pavement after months of heat waves. For once I wasn't performing survival for somebody. I was just a man hoping somebody might actually want me. So if love is the question, maybe love ain't the answer. Maybe it's choosing each other when the chemistry scatters. Maybe it's patience when the panic gets violent, staying when the wounded parts of me get quiet. Maybe it's seeing the monster and calling him human, holding my hand when I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe greater than love is the courage to remain when leaving would be easier than explaining the pain. I don't need forever written neatly in stone. I need somebody who won't make me bleed alone. Somebody who understands a man's silence ain't pride. Sometimes it's a battlefield with no witnesses outside. I've lost enough people to know what absence weighs, felt an empty chair become a monument with a name. So if I say I love you, understand what it means: I'm handing you the parts of me I never let anybody see. And if tomorrow comes ugly, if the sky turns gray. If the ghosts start knocking and I don't know what to say. I'll remember your warmth, the scent left in the sheets. The sound of your heartbeat underneath my cheek. Because maybe love isn't three words spoken once. Maybe it's showing up after everything comes undone. Maybe it's two broken souls refusing to run. And maybe what's greater than love is finding something worth loving and finally believing you deserve not to lose it.

China pulse 🇨🇳 (@Eng_china5) reportedChina is watching every move. Taiwan tried to make its air defenses harder to find by moving Tien Kung-3 and Patriot systems to temporary positions during Han Kuang-42. The problem? Every new position becomes another target to map. Chinese satellites, drones and electronic intelligence are turning Taiwan’s mobile air-defense network into a constantly updated battlefield map—tracking launchers, radars, command posts and support nodes. You can move the missiles. You can’t hide them from an intelligence network watching from above.

Big Brain AI (@realBigBrainAI) reportedPalantir co-founder and CEO Alex Karp on why almost every company buying AI is getting nothing back for it: Karp's diagnosis is short and unkind: "The classic Silicon Valley way up until recently was just buy some large language model and have a nice chat with it, and that really doesn't create any actual enterprise value." That's the whole failure mode. A model gets procured, a chat window appears, nobody's revenue changes. His alternative starts with a definition he says Palantir arrived at years before the rest of the market: "We were years ahead for lots of reasons of anticipating what operational AI would mean. Meaning AI where you make more money or your revenue goes up and your costs go down." Two lines on the P&L. Nothing else counts. Karp claims the numbers follow from that. "We have a thriving commercial business. It grew 71% last quarter. And we're at a very pretty significant scale." He also flags something rarer in the sector: "We make money on our money, which is unusual in software. People have growth but no profitability. We have a lot of both." So why does the same underlying technology produce nothing at most companies and revenue at his? Karp says the answer is "a little more technical," and it isn't the model: "Our platforms are built to use large language models and machine learning in a way that is actually operationally effective. We had a relatively privileged insight into how you would do that and built this thing called an ontology which manages large language models in a way where they become crazily useful both commercially and actually on the battlefield." The ontology is the missing layer. A model on its own doesn't know what your business is made of. Something has to translate between the two before the model can touch anything that matters. What it gets used for is deliberately unglamorous. Karp lists underwriting, acquisition of real estate at scale, construction at scale, and supply chain management — "anywhere where you have volatility." He picks out one problem specifically: "Understanding the true cost of inputs into your enterprise, which is super hard to do at scale, especially if things are shifting or there's disruptions." And the larger version of the job: "reimagining your business into a digital as opposed to a non-digital business." Then he moves from the technology to the thing he actually treats as the differentiator — who carries the risk that none of it works: "Our claim to fame really is we absorb the risk of creating value." He contrasts that with how enterprise software is normally sold, in language he flags as the vulgar version: "The way you're taught to build a software company is your customer thinks they're getting laid but they're getting effed." Palantir's internal reframing: "We used to internally say no, we're in the mutual pleasuring business. Both sides should be happy." In practice that means the vendor is on the hook for the outcome, not just the licence: "We absorb the risk of value creation. So like you will make more money, your enterprise will work better. That's been a bonanza and we're pretty much alone in doing that in the world." Karp doesn't claim it's all his own execution. He credits the moment too: "The truth is we're also riding the back of the fact that this is just an American revolution." Underneath the specifics, he also frames the commercial work as secondary to something else. Asked what matters most, his first answer isn't revenue at all: "The most important thing we've done for you is help establish dominance on the battlefield with the DoD and stop hundreds of terror attacks."

Matthew (@enoesiw_eht) reported@thiscatg9tclaws @nestapendragon I don't think thats the part thats hanging people up. Copies of creature spells on the stack (and token copies on the battlefield) completely dodge double dipping on the buff. It is specifically the cards that have that issue because they are both spells AND cards on the stack.

No Man's Smile (@NoMansSmile) reported@Battlefield @BattlefieldComm So sad that these guys work hard to add good features/modes to the game just to take it away from their player base weeks later because of greed and a broken anti-consumer live service system. Every developer should take a page out of HelloGames. Make games as passion not greed.

oobie (@oobiewpb) reported$SPX $QQQ $SPY $IWM $NVDA DLMM EARLY-WARNING SHIFT — THURSDAY, AUGUST 27 — PREMARKET STATUS: ORANGE — NVDA HAS CHANGED THE OVERNIGHT SETUP There is a meaningful change worth flagging this morning. Nvidia's earnings reaction has flipped technology decisively higher. Nasdaq-100 futures are up roughly 1.1%, versus about +0.5% for S&P futures, with NVDA itself up roughly 6–7% premarket after its earnings beat and strong forward guidance. That is exactly the QQQ confirmation yesterday's market was missing. The bigger issue, however, is that the gamma picture is NOT giving buyers a free pass. Fresh Thursday SPX positioning shows approximately: SPX reference: 7676 Zero gamma: 7730 Major 7715 concentration Net GEX: slightly NEGATIVE Today's implied range: approximately 7625–7726. That puts the overnight rally in an interesting position: PRICE/QQQ ARE IMPROVING BUT SPX REMAINS BELOW THE NEW ~7730 GAMMA TRANSITION. That's an early-warning setup for a potentially much larger decision after the open. Yesterday afternoon SPX was around 7672 with positive gamma and a zero-gamma line near 7633. Today the forward book has reset with the transition substantially ABOVE price. That is the material options change. DLMM MAP 7730 — BIG GAMMA REGIME TEST This is the level I care about most. If the NVDA/QQQ strength carries SPX through roughly 7715–7730 and price HOLDS above it, the overnight move becomes considerably more convincing. That would mean buyers are overcoming the overhead options structure rather than merely producing an earnings gap. 7715 — immediate options battlefield. 7675–7680 — yesterday's closing/acceptance neighborhood. 7650 — first meaningful failure area. 7625 — lower edge of today's current options-implied range. WHAT CONFIRMS THE BULLISH SHIFT: QQQ holds its NVDA-driven strength → SPX takes 7715 → 7730 breaks → pullback HOLDS → IWM participates → IV remains contained. That would upgrade this to a genuine bullish MATERIAL SHIFT. WHAT WOULD WORRY ME: QQQ opens strong but cannot hold the gap → SPX rejects 7715–7730 → falls back through 7675/80 → IWM refuses to participate → IV starts expanding. That would tell us the market used NVDA's earnings as liquidity rather than as the beginning of a broader expansion. And that's precisely why I would NOT chase the premarket move. The market has been handed an extremely bullish technology catalyst. Now make price prove what it intends to do with it. 7715–7730 is where I want the answer. Trade the reaction — not the headline. ~oobie

LO NA GO (@otaku_D_sa) reportedDear PlayStation Team Do you think you’re safe? In the early 90s, Nintendo owned this industry. They were bigger than Sony ever was in gaming, until the first PlayStation arrived and took the market out from under them. And the reason was simple: Nintendo stopped listening… They clung to cartridges while the world moved to discs, they protected their traditions instead of evolving, and the developers walked. Square took Final Fantasy VII to PlayStation, and that single move decided the entire generation. Nintendo’s throne collapsed, and it took them more than a decade to recover and only by leaving your battlefield entirely and building their own. So don’t assume Xbox can’t pull your developers and your future exclusives away from you. Don’t assume a new platform can’t appear and do to you exactly what you did to Nintendo. The only thing protecting you is the loyalty of the players you already have…. and loyalty…. is not permanent. It’s earned every generation. So listen to your players. Listen now, while the problems are still small enough to fix. Every complaint you ignore today is a player you lose tomorrow, and you will not notice they’re gone until it’s too late to bring them back. Companies don’t fall overnight. They fall slowly, while ignoring messages like this one

Momentum Works (@momentumasia) reported@deepseek_ai uses Mao's playbook to win the AI race. Fewer chips, less capital — and a strategy built for the weaker side. For the last few years, we have often recommended that clients trying to understand their Chinese competitors read Mao Zedong's On Protracted War. In fact, many of the Chinese tech leaders we know have been reading Mao's works for strategic and tactical inspiration in a permanently cutthroat market. Liang Wenfeng, the founder of DeepSeek, appears to be doing the same. In a recent investor call, he talked about restraint, about not fighting for ground he does not need, about how being behind is actually an advantage. He never mentioned Mao once in the four-hour call. But anyone who has read Mao would recognise the strategy. Mao's strategic thinking came from a side that was poorer, smaller and surrounded. In the early 1930s the Communist insurgency forces were weaker than the Nationalist government on every axis a conventional army is measured on — men, weapons, industrial base, control of the cities. Earlier attempts to follow more orthodox, Soviet-influenced doctrine had ended disastrously, culminating in the loss of the Communist base areas and the Long March. The strategy Mao built afterwards began from a different question: not how to get as much force as the enemy, but how to change the terms of the fight so that being weaker mattered less. On Protracted War, written in 1938 - a year into the war against Japan, took the next step and folded time itself into the fight. Mao's answer was not to wait until he had as many men, guns or cities as his enemy. It was to fight in a way that made those advantages less decisive. That history matters here because Mao’s strategy was shaped by the same basic problem DeepSeek faces today: how to compete when the other side has far more resources. That is a fairly precise description of the box DeepSeek is in. It runs on a small fraction of a single American lab's compute, with less capital, no access to the best chips, and — on Liang's own account — models roughly an order of magnitude smaller than the largest ones he is looking at. So when he reasons his way through that position out loud, he arrives roughly where Mao arrived. This is the lens for the whole call. DeepSeek is not trying to run the American AI playbook with fewer resources. It has either consciously adopted, or independently reconstructed, a coherent strategy for fighting from the weaker side — and anyone who has read Mao will recognise its four basic moves. Refuse the stronger side's battle Liang points to the largest models, around 800 billion parameters. DeepSeek cannot train one. He knows it, and says he will not even try. On his own maths, it takes roughly four Huawei chips to do the work of one Nvidia chip, and the Huawei hardware itself is about two years behind. So rather than spend years trying to assemble the same firepower as the American labs, he simply refuses that battlefield. He made the same choice when DeepSeek went viral last year. Users poured in. For a brief moment, it looked like DeepSeek had been handed the opening every Chinese internet company spends years chasing: traffic, attention, and a chance to build a consumer platform. The obvious move was to spend heavily, keep the users and turn the moment into a super-app. Liang did not take it. There were bigger things to build, and he believed the users were not going anywhere. That is the first move in the weak-side playbook: do not fight the stronger side on the ground where it is strongest. Choose another ground. Concentrate the force you have This is Mao's 集中优势兵力,各个歼灭敌人 — concentrate a superior force and destroy the enemy piece by piece. The point was never that Mao had the superior army. In 1946, at the start of the renewed Chinese civil war, the Communist forces were weaker overall. Mao's instruction was to make that irrelevant at the point of contact: when the enemy advanced on several fronts, concentrate three, four, even six times his strength against one unit, destroy it, then move on to the next. The same logic would later reappear in Korea, where Chinese forces remained materially inferior overall but repeatedly tried to create local superiority at the points they chose to attack. DeepSeek is doing something very similar with compute. It does not have a superior force; it has a fraction of one. So Liang narrows the front. Everything off the direct path to AGI is cut — video generation, world models, the finance and medical agents everyone else is racing to build. The coding agent stays because it feeds back into DeepSeek’s own research; the rest can wait. That is what “concentrating superior force” means when you are weaker overall. You cannot be strong across the whole field, so you make yourself as strong as possible at the one point that matters. With a fraction of the compute, you do not get the whole product roadmap. You choose the one front you can win. Use time to change the balance In 1938, this was the heart of Mao's argument in On Protracted War. Japanese forces were far stronger and could keep taking Chinese cities. But every city they took also meant more territory to occupy, longer supply lines to protect and more troops tied down far from home. China, meanwhile, did not need to become stronger overnight. It needed to avoid being destroyed, preserve its forces and keep building them. If the war lasted long enough, the balance that looked hopeless at the beginning would not remain the same. Liang talks about being behind in much the same way. DeepSeek is roughly two years behind on hardware and, by his reckoning, works with about 5% of the compute. His answer is not to close all of that tomorrow. It is to turn two years into six months, then three — while still using only a fraction of the compute. That is why he says being behind has an advantage: it gives you time. Every extra month is another month in which the gap can narrow without DeepSeek first having to match the Americans chip for chip. The stronger side has the lead today; the weaker side's job is to make sure today's balance is not tomorrow's. Start from your own conditions Asked what DeepSeek models itself on — one of the US labs, perhaps — Liang says there is nothing to copy. He works from the other end: he starts with the chips he actually has, asks how large a model they can train and what that model can prove, and lets the rest wait. He does not start from the frontier model and work backwards to the compute he wishes he had. It is not that Chinese firms refuse to copy Americans. If your resources are not the leader's resources, copying the leader's strategy is not prudence. It is a mistake. Want less Then Liang says something harder to place neatly inside Mao’s playbook. DeepSeek could charge much more for its API. By Liang’s own calculation, the market could bear a hundredfold return on the hardware cost. He is satisfied with roughly six. He could keep the best model closed. Instead, DeepSeek open-sources it and helps others deploy it. He could build more of the applications downstream himself. He would rather leave much of that business to partners. Why leave so much on the table? Liang’s answer is unusually blunt: the one who wants more will be beaten by the one who wants less. He then takes the logic to its extreme. A company determined to capture 5% of the market will lose to one satisfied with 1%. And that company, in turn, can be beaten by one content with 0.1%. The one thing he will not give up is the team. It is what the raise is really for — enough options to hold the senior people in place, so that whatever setbacks come, nobody leaves. The mistake is to read DeepSeek as an American frontier lab with fewer chips. It is not running the same playbook on less fuel. Its playbook starts from the fact that it has less. Mao's strategic writing asked the same question: what does the weaker side do when it cannot match the stronger side in men, weapons or money? Whether Liang borrowed the answers or reconstructed them from the constraints in front of him is almost beside the point. The strategy is recognisable. The dangerous assumption, for the stronger side, is that the weaker side wants to fight the same war.

Parwiz Ibrahim Khail (@IbrahimkhailP) reportedAs I mentioned before, the presence of foreign militant networks within or alongside Taliban structures deserves much closer analytical attention. The latest UN Security Council Monitoring Team report states that approximately 250 ETIM/TIP members were reported to have joined Taliban police forces in 2025. The information is attributed to a Member State, so the figure should not be treated as independently verified by the UN. Source: United Nations Security Council, Thirty-seventh report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, S/2026/44, para. 94, p. 18, 4 February 2026. This becomes particularly interesting in light of the Afghanistan Freedom Front’s claim that foreign fighters were present among the Taliban forces involved in the recent fighting in Zebak, Badakhshan. At this stage, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the fighters referred to by the AFF were ETIM/TIP members. However, the combination of the UN assessment and the latest battlefield claim raises a legitimate analytical question about the presence, movement and possible integration of foreign militants within Taliban forces in Badakhshan. This is also why, as I have mentioned previously, any evidence encountered by resistance fronts regarding foreign fighters should be carefully preserved and documented. Photographs, identity documents, language or nationality indicators, equipment, documents, communications material or other identifiable evidence could later help establish who these individuals were and what organizational affiliation they had. The value of such evidence increases considerably when it can be cross-referenced with other incidents and intelligence assessments. There is also a broader regional dimension. It would be particularly interesting to see how China assesses such developments. Beijing has repeatedly focused on the threat posed by ETIM/TIP and has relied heavily on Taliban assurances that Afghan territory will not be used to threaten China’s security. If credible evidence were eventually to establish that ETIM/TIP members are operating within Taliban security structures in Badakhshan—and particularly if any connection could be established with the foreign fighters reportedly present in Zebak—it could create a much more complicated issue for China-Taliban relations.
