"Human rights experts, including Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International’s senior director for research and advocacy, have said the European Union is “knowingly enabling” Israel’s “grave violations” after EU countries Italy and Germany blocked a move to suspend a trade agreement between the trading bloc and Israel." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/21/why-is-the-eu-under-pressure-to-suspend-its-trade-agreement-with-israel

AI Makes No Logical Sense. The hallmark of human consciousness is that every thought has a meaning. You might think about lunch, or about your dog, or about mathematics. In contrast, all computation is the matching of an input to an output according to a set of rules (an algorithm). The input, algorithm, and output
of a computation are always mechanical. The hallmark of computation is that the process has no meaning in itself. But, we do use Gemini to serve us.

I am 82 now. Should I need a wheelchair, I have instructed my family and friends that they can take me to the Mall, Zoo or Gardens, but please, not to a nightclub, because I will not fit in there. #personalsafety

What we are witnessing today is "John Wayne" politics ( I am not referring to the actor, rather the movie style). If the war with Iran continues, he has polls coming up soon. If goes ahead as he often threatens, its also going to be a dead end. In the meantime the whole world suffers without a firm word to Trump.

The Epstein Files is a reminder of how things can work in one's favor at one time, and then as a weapon against one. In a way, one is being used and disposed of if a threat.

I believe that it is an utter waste of money to take trips around the moon when that money can be put to better use at home serving the poor and needy. Its tax-payers money. From scientific reports, we can't go beyond the moon... its dangerous. So every journey by every nation is in my point of view an egoistic exploit.

Can anyone tell me when Netanyahu will be visiting the White House soon? Do you think A.I. will know?

Migrants, immigration etc is a complex issue. There are many aspects, many views, many answers, many perspectives. Accept my humble apologies. I hope every country can find solutions to the problem.

Can someone come up with research on how much we have changed socially and morally in sciences.social so that I can return to what I signed up for? There must be some studies on changes in human behavior then and now... on a value system and what has caused it.

The Gulf of New Zealand is new to me. It reminds of of the Gulf of Mexico becoming the Gulf of America recently...
