النعمة والمنجز الوحيد للاسلام هو الغاء الربا والفايدة على القروض، غير كدا في رأى مفيش اسلام، فيه بس نسخة معربة من الديانات التوحيدية اليهودية والمسيحية.

A U.S. agent tried to flip Nicolás Maduro’s pilot — offering riches if he secretly flew Venezuela’s leader into U.S. custody.

The failed plan, which reads like a Cold War spy novel, shows how far the U.S. has gone to oust Maduro.

US sought to lure Nicolás Maduro’s pilot into betraying the Venezuelan leader

A federal agent had a daring plan: persuade Nicolas Maduro's chief pilot to surreptitiously divert the Venezuelan president’s plane to a place where U.S. authorities could nab the strongman.

قصة صعود مريم أديلسون لتصبح "صانعة الملوك" في الشرق الأوسط وأمريكا، لا تتضمن فصولًا من السعى أو النضال أو العمل الشاق أو الذكي، بل أشبه ما تكون بحكايات نادية الجندي في أفلام الثمانينيات؛ امرأة تصعد السلم الاجتماعي من أسفله بلا عناء، ا. manassa.news/stories/27789

مريم أديلسون صانعة الملوك

بعد هجوم السابع أكتوبر، وصلني إيميل من رئيس جامعة UNLV يبدأ بفقرة قال فيها إنه لا يدّعي الإحاطة بكل ما يحدث في الشرق الأوسط، لكنهم في الجامعة يقفون مع إسرائيل.

تتحدث مع نموذج الذكاء الصناعي الموجود على موبايلك، تهلوس له بأيّ أفكار، فيصيغها لك بأسلوب أدونيس، تقرأه فتعجب بعبقريتك، وتذهب للنوم وأنت تحلم بنوبل. megaphone.news/long-read/%D...

ما نطلق عليه اليوم تسمية «كتاب» هو حصيلة آلاف السنين من التطور التكنولوجي؛ منتج نجح بعضه في النجاة من الحروب، والبراكين، وحوادث غرق السفن، وحرائق المكتبات. لكننا اليوم نرى كهنة التكنولوجيا يتقدّمون با...

We cannot forget that the originator of modern political Zionism, Theodore Herzl, first wrote the occupation of Palestine as a science fiction novel, four decades before the Nakba. The speculative genres are as fertile ground for monstrous imaginations as they are marvelous ones. vajra.me/2025/10/

This is hilarious because why is this OpenAI’s desperate, scrabbling marketing strategy for women but the equivalent for men is ‘you can fuck it now’

“Prompt parties,” gatherings of women over cheese and wine to chat about how ChatGPT can help them, are emerging as the next-generation of Tupperware party in San Francisco.

Scientists that won the 2024 IgNobel Prize for "discovering that many mammals are capable of breathing through their anus" have completed a successful first-in-human trial testing the safety and tolerability of enteral ventilation, a technique that gets oxygen-rich fluid pumped into the anus.

أعتقد أن أغنية رعاك الله، هى أكتر أغنية وطنية عملها حسين الجسمى تعبر عن الهوية الاماراتية المعاصرة، فلا أظن أن فيه حد ثانى في الكوكب ممكن يغنى يقول: "أنا الأرباح، والفايد ورأسالمال"

Well… calling someone a ‘horny perv’ is a judgment.
It’s as Foucault said... the Western mind can only interrogate and problematize sex.

Daddy An Li @youremybit.ch · Dec 22

BDSM does not need to be healing or empowering for you to participate in it. You don't need to apply moral attributes to it to justify your interest in it. Sexuality just IS, and it's ok to let it be just that.

Stop applying judgement calls on kink. It's ok to be a horny perv.
