@MohammadKaif Once Ravi Shastri said "jo jaisa hai usey vaisa hi bolo upar na chhadao" We know Indian team is strong and was sensational but Aus is the best team. Aussies are invincible and dominant. They came to foreign location, different conditions yet became the world champions

This will be the last update from the Northern Utah Type 3 Incident Management Team for the #Widemouth2Fire. The NUIMT Incident Commander trainee Lucas Yeamans said it best at tonight's meeting "We were fully supported here. Especially dealing with incidents like this, we empathize with you. We did the best we could to minimize the impact to you and have genuine concern for you. This community is as unique as this fire. The experience we had here isnโ€™t what we experience every fire we go to. Your elected officials, your community leaders, your Sheriff's department, your local fire department, your state and county resources, your federal land management leaders, have all been amazing. It has been incredibly impressive to see how they work together, to see their commitment, and to see their effort. You can see their concern and their dedication. And, on behalf of the NUIMT, we were proud to be a part of that effort. We applaud you for having such a strong community, with such great leaders. We were honored to serve you, and want to say thank you." Aug 3, Fire behavior update: As of this evening the #Widemouth2Fire crews have made great progress holding the fire outside the communities of Kanosh, Meadow, and Fillmore. The western edge of the fire near Kanosh has minimal heat within most of the interior of the fire. Everything from Kanosh to Meadow is holding well. Crews will continue to secure this perimeter to get residents back in as quickly as possible. From Meadow to Fillmore, there is some heat within the line. This area experienced some spotting, but firefighters were able to catch them all thus far. From Chalk Creek Canyon and east, crews were able to construct dozer line and laid retardant line to enhance the efforts, and were able to hold the fire in the canyon. The east side is growing too quickly to go direct. Firefighters spent the day scouting and doing structure protection. Another focus was establishing safety zones and escape routes. But were unable to directly engage because of the pace of the fire. This evening the fire did reach Sevier County in its push eastward. The southwest corner experienced spotting due to northwest winds. Crews were able to pick them up and stop forward progression of the spots. Southwest of Kanosh, firefighters worked diligently to hold the current perimeter. Once the fire hit the ridge, it made a quick run. All evacuations from today remain and no additional ones exist as of now. Follow the Millard County Sheriff's Office page for updates.

Full conference interview by Yuki Ishikawa, back to Japan (2/2) -Normally, after the end of the national team season, Ishikawa returns to Italy and plays in the Italian league, but this year he'll be back in Japan next month, this time wearing the club's uniform and competing in front of Japanese fans. With that in mind, how committed will you be to improving yourself this time? Yuki: I'll return to Italy first to get back in shape. Since I'm leaving early this time, I have some time, so I think I'll be in good shape. I think I'll be able to show a different side of myself than I do with the national team, so first of all, since my national team season is over, I'll prepare hard for my experience with Perugia in Italy. -This tournament isn't just for Japan, but also for Brazil, who lost to Serbia today. It seems like there were a lot of surprises in this tournament. What do you feel while playing? Yuki: It's different than usual and it's about the power of the world. This time, Bulgaria beat Germany and Slovenia, Belgium beat Italy, Serbia beat Brazil, and Finland beat France. -What do you mean? Yuki: I think the rankings are just numbers. On the other hand, why do lower-ranked teams win? Personally, I think it's the same for Finland, Bulgaria, Belgium, and I think it's the same for Serbia, but when you look at overseas teams, like Italy, Poland, and Portugal, they're mostly made up of players who are active in Poland and Italy. I have the feeling that the matches are in the preparation stage, so I think the players who play abroad, and especially the key players among them, really show their strength when the national teams of each country meet to play. For Turkey, Mandiraci, who played well in our match, plays for Piacenza, and his opponent, Lagumdลพija, plays for Lube. Looking at these, you can see that there are many players who have steadily improved their skills abroad. The players who compete abroad are very strong, and I had the feeling they were the cornerstone of the team. -So, what's the big difference? Yuki: In Italy, players of different nationalities compete, and in Poland, players of different nationalities compete too. So, if you look at it from that perspective, well, at this stage it's just me and Otsuka, so I feel like there's a slight difference. -Looking back at the WCH results, what do you think were the determining factors? Yuki: As for the matches we lost, I think we weren't able to play our style of volleyball. As for not being able to play well, I think, in practice and in the freshmen matches, there were many things that didn't go well, and for that reason there were concerns, and I think we weren't able to give our best. Also, I think mental preparation is necessary to play well in important matches like these, and I think that's the most important thing, both for the team and for individuals. I think I haven't reached that point yet, yes. -You mentioned some concerns, but what was your biggest concern? Y: Even though we won two matches against Bulgaria, in terms of content, it wasn't a very good match in some ways. I wouldn't say we played 100% as usual, and against Italy we played a good match, but I wouldn't say we played 100% of our volleyball. So, I think from that point on, we lost sight of what we needed to do. -Miyaura was a starter, and I think you've played a lot this season, but what kind of season has it been for you? Yuki: As for this WCH, I was really disappointed with the result, and as for my performance, it's not that I'm disappointed, but I felt like I wasn't able to give my best. I have no choice but to look forward, so I think I need to build on this experience. I played every VNL match, and there were some things that went well, so I'll use them to boost my confidence. As for the things I didn't do well, or the areas that need improvement, I'd like to continue improving next season in preparation for the national team.

Marc Andreessen: Most successful companies started โ€œproduct firstโ€ โ€œThere are products that become companies, and then there are companies that come up with a product. One of the interesting things over the years is that many of the most successful technology franchises were products first, way before they ever became companies.โ€ In this talk, Marc gives a few examples: โ€ข His team at the University of Illinois worked on the research project that became Netscape for three years before it became a company โ€ข Bill Gates and Paul Allen were deep into PCs before there was a software business โ€ข Jobs and Wozniak built the first Apple computer as hobbyists โ€ข Mark Zuckerberg was running Facebook out of his dorm room before he ever thought of starting a company โ€ข Twitter was a side project at the failed podcasting app Odeo Marc believes that this โ€œproduct becomes a companyโ€ template is successful because โ€œitโ€™s a demonstration that the product has to exist. The market needs the product so badly that somebody actually built it and deployed it and you can actually see evidence that people want it before there was an economic motivation to do so.โ€ He contrasts this with the failure cases he often sees when entrepreneurs try to figure out the idea after starting a company. โ€œItโ€™s very easy in that process to fool yourself into believing that thereโ€™s a market because you want to find something and you have a very strong motivation to come up with an answer. Itโ€™s hard to go through that process for three months and then say, โ€˜you know what, we canโ€™t come up with any good ideas.โ€™โ€ There are of course there exceptions. Marc gives Hewlett Packard as an example. But thatโ€™s more the exception than the rule. As Marc explains: โ€œThe moral of the story is it has to be a really good idea. That often will be an idea that is preexisting at the time you decide to start a company. And if it isnโ€™t, be really careful because youโ€™re walking on sharp rocks at that point with a high risk of falling off the cliff into the ocean.โ€ Video source: Stanford eCorner (2010)

We use Bittensor to gather intelligence. But weโ€™ll build the product in-house. Our subnet is a phenomenal intelligence engine: 1000+ miners and ~5500 agents competing, iterating on, and compounding each otherโ€™s work. One miner builds a breakthrough agent. The next forks it, implements a new tool, improves performance by 1-2%. The next does the same. This cycle runs continuously, with hundreds of teams around the world, each with different expertise, different approaches, different intuitions, all pushing the same eval forward. That's what the subnet is built for, and it's how we've outpaced labs with orders of magnitude more resources. Once our agent reaches SOTA on shopping, the next bottleneck is building an elegant, easy-to-use consumer product. And great products don't come from crowds. Open-source competition is the right tool for maximizing intelligence, you want hundreds of mutually compounding perspectives and iterations. But product is the opposite. Product requires taste. Elegance. Strong opinions about what to include and, critically, what to leave out. It requires a small, high-judgment team moving fast and making sharp calls, not a thousand competing voices. The best consumer experiences in the world were built by teams who knew exactly what they wanted to build and had the conviction to say no to everything else. Thatโ€™s why phase two โ€“ building the product, belongs in-house at Oro. The best companies donโ€™t start big โ€“ they start narrow In Zero to One, Peter Thiel argues that every great company starts by dominating a small, specific market before expanding outward. Amazon started with just books, going from $16 million to $148 million in revenue in that narrow market before touching anything else. PayPal went all-in on eBay power sellers, growing from 10,000 to over 5 million users in under a year. Facebook launched at Harvard and didn't open to the public for two and a half years. The playbook is proven: own a small market first, then expand. We're starting with consumer electronics. Why? Because electronics has something most shopping categories don't: objectivity. "Find me the best deal on an RTX 5090" has a right answer. Specs, prices, compatibility, all measurable, all verifiable. "Find me the perfect dress for a wedding" doesn't. You can't build a reliable eval for something with no correct answer. Starting with electronics enables us to kickstart a recursive self-improvement loop for our agent: assign it shopping tasks with clear success criteria, assess its performance and learn about its specific profile of strengths and weaknesses, and use that rich vein of data to improve both the eval and the base agent. Weโ€™ll start where we can prove our agent works. Weโ€™ll own that vertical. Then weโ€™ll grow from there. Land, dominate, then expand.

INDIGOS ARE NOT HERE TO ASCEND A reminder to all Guardian Alliance warriors: you aren't here to 'qualify' for the next dimension. Do not mistake yourself as one of the humans and other abductees who were captured and held hostage on this battlefield since the Human Elohim Project began. You are the ones who came to set them free. You're not 'making the shift now', ahead of those humans & hybrids who are under the ascension process: you're here to show them how to embody higher awareness through example. So don't be depressed if you're still here; when you know for certain others have already moved forward since the opening of the Stellar Activation (ascension) Cycle on 12/21/2012. For the abductees we're here to enable escape, they are locked-in to the ascension process until they have gone through all 5 densities and all 15 dimensions. Each density has 3 dimensions. Density 1 covers dimensions 1, 2 & 3. That's where you are now, here to get the stragglers into density 2, to move up through dimensions 4, 5 & 6 on their journey. Once they've completed the 15th dimension, the final level of density 5, they will 'Kryst' their avatar out of that time matrix and return to the interstellar communities where they will be able to choose which time matrix they might want to enter into next. Or not; because manifesting inside a simulation is not mandatory. Many of us don't choose to have a physical avatar at all anymore, because after a certain number of manifest journeys, there really isn't much to gain from all that anymore. You are eternal and have been at this game for a very, very long time. You can choose to just 'be' Prime Creator and observe, or even assist those in the game if you wish. No one forces you into a mortal, fragile body if you don't want to. [For more about the ascension process, see my article: ๐Ÿ‘‰15 LEVEL TIME MATRIX] Indigos are not here on the same journey as the abductees. You are a tactical, front-lines mil unit that enters battlefields like Navy Seals, or Airborne Rangers. In their case, they have very sparse tools to help breach enemy lines and can be considered an army of 1. Only the bravest men on earth would ever consider that role. In your case, only the bravest warriors across the cosmeias would ever attempt your mission. Because unlike armed soldiers in battle gear, you arrive on the field as an infant, naked, mind-wiped and abandoned. On the other side of enemy lines. Your role is not for everyone. Your job is to retrieve the POWs so they can resume their ascension journey that was arrested when they were all taken hostage 560m years ago. None of them should have been here in the 3rd dimension longer than about 2 1/2 years, and all of them should have mastered out of the Gaia time matrix after no longer than 33 years in total. That is their journey, not yours. Once your mission is over, you don't go to the next level, you simply leave. Or stay if you choose. But you don't have to qualify for anything, as long as you fulfill your contract by doing what you said you would do; free the hostages. Even if you already embody 7th dimensional awareness, you're not going to disappear from this level like the prisoners are once their cells resonate with the next dimension. I was told on no uncertain terms in 2018 at the safe house speaking to the keeper 'Many have already left. The ascension window is wide open, all they have to do is reach the next level of awareness', going on to say 'they simply vanish from this plane as if they were never here'. The keeper explained those who remain have the entire database of their loved one or someone they know who resonated with the next level, erased from their memory to avoid panic in a 'left behind' scenario. So there is no way we (the foot soldiers) have of keeping track of how many have already ascended. But the top levels of this conflict do. You will not be vanishing this way. Because you are the extraction team itself. For more about your role in this rescue operation, see my article: ๐Ÿ‘‰INDIGO MISSIONS. THE ALPHAS Wolf packs have an alpha leader that protects the whole group from attacks. The old, weak, infirmed & the very young pups. But the amazing thing is that alpha isn't at the head of the pack. That's where the most fragile travel, because predators never confront the ones at the lead of groups, they prey on the very back of any herd to pick off the slowest, least powerful. Which is why wolves travel oppositely from normal game and their strongest & most fearless remain solitary at the back of the line so he can visually see the entire group and protect them from outside exposure. If another predator tries to cull the group, they will face the herd's most apex force. That's us, the guardian alliance. Not breaking the trail, but overseeing everyone's safety so no one gets left behind which gives the entire group the confidence to keep moving forward. It is your presence behind them that lights the way for them to reach the exit door. Without your strength they can count on, very few, if any, would ever make it through Armageddon, which is a process to separate the wheat from the chaff so the aether knows what is the best stage for each person left on this simulation field to go to next. [For more about this process, see my article: ๐Ÿ‘‰THE SEPARATION] You will be here until every single one of the prisoners who have a chance to raise their awareness to make the shift, has. Then, at the final second of separation where Particle Tara makes the full transition away from Antiparticle Tara (where all the low-frequency invaders and low-frequency abductees who were just unable to overcome the elaborate brainwashing programs to resonate with the next level of awareness finally vanish from your world), you will simply be in the next dimension with your group. That's when your next phase of your mission kicks in and you help them to build the 4th dimension. Your job is far from over after merely breaking them free of this bondage, because leaving them all abandoned in the wreckage of what is left of Particle Tara would be like delivering your rescue party into the jaws of yet another hostage scenario. They must understand how the 4th dimension even works, have industry set up so they can produce wholesome products instead of loosh-farm poisons and without you to help, that's a level that might take them a trillion years to reach on their own. You are the 4th dimension is so many words. As for the next level: it has already been established. What I mean by that, is time is not linear. Every dimension within the time matrix is mapped out, played out, recorded and then replayed on a never-ending loop. We STEP INTO that loop when weโ€™re ready, as the path through has already been ironed out in the simulation. So you can think of time and events much like a Blockbuster Video store with 10,000 movies to choose from. Then inside each movie, there are 1000 scenes. You can simply pop the video into a player, zip to the scene by the lake and instantly you are there. Nothing about that scene hasnโ€™t already been filmed and recorded. And it never stops playing out in the aetheric field. You are there RIGHT NOW in every possible scenario you could ever find yourself in, given your set of potential possibilities in a human body that is this tall and that strong or that fragile, etc. If it COULD happen, it already has happened and stored in the akashic records (the Blockbuster store), sitting there waiting for you to reach for that movie, then choose that scene and press play. I was told directly that not only is the full 4th dimension established, but it runs all the way from the 4.0 through to the 4.99 interdimension (think of this like from caveman to George Jetson eras), and โ€œit is this generation who successfully established itโ€. Which simply means, that after 26 times weโ€™ve battled for ascension during previous Stellar Activation Cycles and lost, it is on this attempt when we finally succeeded. What that means in real terms, is that as long as each of us on the ground do our jobs successfully as is already recorded in the akashic records, this is the battle where we win. So step forward with confidence that we did this. We win. It is already over except for the physical process of living it out. You are the ones we are relying on to take up the rear of this exodus. And don't make the mistake of assuming you are merely following the herd: by keeping everyone in your sights, you give them all the strength to keep moving, because they know they have your watchful eye at their backs. Every single one of you are Alphas. No weaklings volunteered to enter behind enemy lines here, abandoned, mind-wiped and attacked since the day they are born. Only the most courageous across the cosmeias signed up for this penultimate battle, armed with absolutely nothing but your wits and willpower alone (and a few clair abilities we smuggled in with us to help us navigate the field). I'm not here to blow sunshine up your skirt, but when I tell you all you are Alphas OF the Alpha warriors, I mean you are the ones poets write songs about across the ages. Never forget you had this since before you were born and knew you could pull it off. Don't ever second-guess yourself on this legendary hero's journey that will still be taught about in schools a million years from now. You're here because only the toughest rawhide could have ever signed up for your mission and survived. The ones willing to brave everything. All alone on the trail. That's you. - On X, to search for my articles, simply type in the name of the piece, enter one space, then from: plus my username in parenthesis such as shown here: CASTING THE APOCALYPSE (from:iontecs_pemf) Off-site, you can look up any of my writings through this link below for my other more than 150+ recent articles and many thousands of comments on X, regularly updated thanks to Justin LINK: ๐Ÿ‘‰ This message will only be seen by your eyes if not shared, and if you want to reference this article again later, you will need to cut and paste it in your own notes off line, as it will surely be erased.

So step forward with confidence that we did this. We win. It is already over except for the physical process of living it out. You are the ones we are relying on to take up the rear of this exodus. And don't make the mistake of assuming you are merely following the herd: by keeping everyone in your sights, you give them all the strength to keep moving, because they know they have your watchful eye at their backs. Every single one of you are Alphas. No weaklings volunteered to enter behind enemy lines here, abandoned, mind-wiped and attacked since the day they are born. Only the most courageous across the cosmeias signed up for this penultimate battle, armed with absolutely nothing but your wits and willpower alone (and a few clair abilities we smuggled in with us to help us navigate the field). I'm not here to blow sunshine up your skirt, but when I tell you all you are Alphas OF the Alpha warriors, I mean you are the ones poets write songs about across the ages. Never forget you had this since before you were born and knew you could pull it off. Don't ever second-guess yourself on this legendary hero's journey that will still be taught about in schools a million years from now. You're here because only the toughest rawhide could have ever signed up for your mission and survived. The ones willing to brave everything. All alone on the trail.

HYBE and Min Hee-jin NewJeans Controversy from the Perspective of a 20-Year Entertainment Industry Expert | Kim Yoon-ji, Senior Researcher at the Overseas Economic Research Institute of the Export-Import Bank of Korea #1 [Investment Insight] ์ฆ์‹œ๊ฐ๋„๊ธฐTV HYBE has shown a somewhat immature side throughout this process. The essence of the issue has become less important. Hello, viewers and investors of Stock TV. Recently, there has been a lot of societal concern about the entertainment industry. Last year, it did well, but the question remains about how it will fare this year. Weโ€™re joined by Kim Yoon-ji, Senior Researcher at the Korea Eximbank Overseas Economic Research Institute, to discuss this. Welcome. Today, I brought a drink because this topic is not easy to discuss soberly. The situation between HYBE, Min Hee-jin, and NewJeans has escalated, and unfortunately, itโ€™s no longer just management fighting but the artists have joined the fray. Iโ€™ve heard from someone in the industry that the close relationship between a producer and an artist is inevitable. In the past, there have been similar cases where producers and artists were tightly knit. Now, something similar has happened with Min Hee-jin and HYBE. Most people outside the industry donโ€™t know the exact terms of the contract between Min Hee-jin and HYBE. As my own son works in the entertainment field, Iโ€™m well aware of how important it is to work with a good producer. For a company like HYBE, which has invested tens or even hundreds of billions of won, itโ€™s unthinkable that they would allow NewJeans to separate and go independent after establishing their position. Many in the industry agree that this doesnโ€™t make sense. To the general public, NewJeans might seem like the underdogs, and people might feel they should be allowed to leave. But from the perspective of the entertainment industry, which requires substantial capital to grow, the relationship between investors and artists is key. You canโ€™t discuss this industry without acknowledging the role of investors. This case is different from situations where individual members leave, as seen in the past with groups that had Chinese members. This isnโ€™t about a single member leaving; itโ€™s more about the fact that, in this industry, the producers are as important as the artists themselves. From the beginning, NewJeans has been marketed as Min Hee-jinโ€™s girl group, so the idea of them continuing without her feels different. We need to approach this from a different angle. That said, it doesnโ€™t mean HYBE should completely cut ties. Many people have different initial thoughts about the situation, but the core issue here is the importance of the relationship between producers and the company, especially when substantial investment is involved. From my perspective, the fundamental question is: what exactly was attempted? I still find this unclear. In any company, it's common to hear people say, "I want to quit, I can't work with this boss, I'm leaving tomorrow." We all talk about this with friends or colleagues. Sometimes, we even ask others to let us know if thereโ€™s a good opportunity elsewhere. But actually submitting a resignation is a whole different issue. But in the new premise, I still wonder what exactly they were trying to do. What exactly was attempted? We always talk about it at work, right? "I'm going to quit. I can't work with that boss anymore. I'm leaving tomorrow." We always have those conversations. We talk about it with our friends, with team members, and even ask friends outside of work to let us know if they hear of any good positions. But actually submitting a resignation is a whole different issue, isn't it? Looking at how the situation first unfolded, it seems like HYBE was the one to bring things to light. They shared a lot with the press, and Min Hee-jin, the CEO, responded with a strong counterstatement. HYBE was saying, "Min Hee-jin is trying to do this and that," but CEO Min was like, "What else have I done apart from that message on KakaoTalk?" The court also judged that they weren't sure what actions had actually been attempted. To me, this seems like the fact of the matter. Clearly, HYBE's relationship with CEO Min Hee-jin might not be good. There could have been friction about how a subsidiary operates so independently from the parent company. There were likely various issues internally, but they should have been resolved within the company without making the problems visible externally. The fact that they let it spill outside before resolving it was a huge mistake on HYBE's part, revealing weaknesses in their management abilities. In my view, this has greatly devalued HYBE, becoming a powerful force that has dragged down their valuation. Throughout this process, HYBE displayed a level of immaturity, and the core of the issue became less important. The real concern for investors now is whether the company can effectively handle issues like these. Once this problem is resolved, can the remaining HYBE groups continue to grow securely? This business is all about reputation. HYBE is now seen as a company that ousts female CEOs simply because she didn't follow their orders. That perception leaves a lasting impression on people's minds, damaging the company's future operations. From an investor's perspective, two major incidents have happened in quick succession. The first was the boost in value during 2020 when HYBE sold a huge number of albums during COVID-19, creating the sense that the entertainment industry was Korea's next big sector. But then, this recent issue with Min Hee-jin, alongside BLACKPINK's contract situation, has put a serious damper on things. BLACKPINK didn't renew their contract as a group, and though they claim to continue working together in some capacity, it's not the same as before. YG Entertainment's profitability has plummeted, revealing how dependent they were on BLACKPINK. This has left investors wondering whether the entertainment business is just a limited-time, seven-year affair. If BLACKPINK had carried on smoothly into the next generation, it would have seemed like a sustainable business, and investors would have continued to trust in the long-term future of Korean entertainment. But now, we're seeing the cracks in that perception. Itโ€™s become a question of how to invest in a business with a lifespan of only seven years, when even the manufacturing industry lasts longer than that. The BLACKPINK incident and the NewJeans situation have both severely harmed investor confidence. HYBE's struggles with its artists are analogous to a manufacturing company facing a revolt from its workers. When investors look at this instability, they start questioning whether the business is even viable. The concept of sustainability has been seriously undermined, and the fact that the seven-year contract issue has been a long-standing concern doesnโ€™t make it any easier to deal with. What used to reassure investors was the belief that when a seven-year contract ended, the company would already have the next seven years planned out, ready to sustain their business. That faith in the big entertainment companies has been shaken. Achieving the kind of success that BTS or BLACKPINK did is incredibly difficult, and passing the baton to the next generation is no simple task. Even though investors had faith that YG would produce another BLACKPINK-level group, now that trust is faltering. However, I do think people are now looking at contracts a bit differently. In the past, when a group disbanded, the members would scatter. But now, groups like BLACKPINK continue to work together even while pursuing solo projects. This shows that they understand the importance of sticking together, and I thought that this might help extend the longevity of these groups. But in reality, very few cases of disbanded groups have seen much success with individual members pursuing separate careers. There arenโ€™t many examples where groups have stayed active for long, especially when individual members run into personal issues. Take Big Bang, for instanceโ€”theyโ€™ve been around for a while, but their personal scandals have made it hard for the group to recover fully. In the entertainment business, itโ€™s rare for groups to last more than seven years, and age is also a factor. Once a group surpasses the seven-year mark, the members tend to be quite a bit older. With BTS, they need to show a fresh side if theyโ€™re to keep running strong. One of the most disheartening things mentioned by the members was that they didnโ€™t feel respected. This ties into a larger issue in our society, as we're seeing with the national discussion around workplace bullying. If we think about how BTS achieved success, it's clear why this is such a serious issue. Back when BTS rose to fame, they shared how they werenโ€™t from one of the top three agencies and positioned themselves as underdogs who worked hard to gain recognition. This resonated with many young people who felt that if you work hard enough, you can succeed, even without the backing of a major company. This message gave hope to many, not only in Korea but also globally. BTSโ€™s fan base, especially in the U.S., includes many people who identify as outsiders, those who donโ€™t feel they belong to the mainstreamโ€”whether in terms of race, culture, or social standing. For them, BTS was a source of inspiration, showing that you can still succeed even if you start from the margins. With NewJeans, though thereโ€™s talk about Min Hee-jin, the allegations of bullying within the company are hitting a sensitive nerve for fans. Itโ€™s unfortunate that the company allowed things to reach a point where such accusations were made. Even if the situation was mostly an internal conflict among the adults in charge, they should have handled it better to avoid involving the artists. In the past, we've seen similar issues, like with Big Bangโ€™s various scandals, which were almost at the level of criminal activity. The current situation with NewJeans might not be as severe, but bullying and exclusion are still serious concerns. Ultimately, experiences like these can serve as valuable lessons for the entertainment industry. This situation has highlighted that the entertainment business is fundamentally about human relationships. From the artists to the products they create, everything revolves around people. The moment someoneโ€™s feelings are hurt or relationships are damaged, the entire business can collapse. The entertainment business is all about personal connections, something I've always believed. Recently, I heard about Naver Webtoonโ€™s global success, and it's fascinating to think about how it has outgrown Kakao Webtoon, despite being a later player. Many factors contributed to this success, but someone mentioned that webtoons are also a "personal connection" business. Webtoon creators are tough to manageโ€”they're artists, after all, and keeping them on schedule, especially with weekly deadlines, is a challenging task. CEO Kim Joong has managed to nurture relationships with these creators, making personal connections the backbone of the business. In the entertainment industry, particularly with idols, you can't overlook the importance of personal relationships. The key skill for managing this industry is the ability to connect deeply with both the creators and the artists. HYBE, for instance, doesnโ€™t just need skilled managers who are good with finance or operations. What they truly need are people who can foster those personal relationships, especially when theyโ€™re dealing with artists as young as 13 or 15. Itโ€™s about ensuring that these young talents feel understood and cared for, so they can be inspired to do their best work. Managing young artists is tricky because their idea of success might be completely different from what adults think. A 13-year-old might not care about owning multiple housesโ€”they might just want to spend time with their family or have the freedom to eat out whenever they want. The managerโ€™s job is to tap into what motivates them and help them thrive in a way thatโ€™s meaningful to them. This kind of nurturing is not easy to scale. When a company grows too big, itโ€™s challenging to maintain those close relationships. That's why multi-label approaches, like those seen in large entertainment agencies, are supposed to help. But if personal connections within those labels break down, the whole system can fall apart. This business model seems uniquely suited to Korea. Itโ€™s hard to imagine it working the same way in Japan, where there's a more hierarchical, command-driven structure. Japan's entertainment industry often depends on strong, central producers who direct everything. In contrast, Korean idols often rise through collective effort and personal connection, like BTS did. Despite the challenges, I believe Koreaโ€™s entertainment sector has room for long-term growth. Many of todayโ€™s youth are drawn to this field because it allows them to express their talents and passions. If scandals like the one with NewJeans continue to arise, however, it might dissuade some young people from pursuing these dreams. When you look at what NewJeans members have said, thereโ€™s not much to disagree with. They simply want to keep doing what theyโ€™ve always done and follow their own creative paths. Ensuring they have the freedom to do so can lead to even greater success. These days, if you ask middle or elementary school students what they want to be when they grow up, many of them will say they want to become idols or YouTubers. They believe that with enough effort, they can make it. The entertainment industry needs to be able to channel that passion and potential into something positive. If Min Hee-jin were to leave HYBE, itโ€™s clear that many companies would be eager to work with her. She mentioned once that โ€œeveryone is crazy about money,โ€ and I think thatโ€™s why there would be a long line of people wanting to meet with her if she decided to move on. Right now, for example, there are people in the entertainment industry, like CJ, who may not have fully established themselves, or even private investors, just waiting for an opportunity. Many of them are keeping an eye on Min Hee-jin leaving HYBE. This was evident during the recent Tokyo performance, where her creativity was on full display. It was incomparable. Thatโ€™s why this situation is even more unfortunate. Some people say, "If it wasnโ€™t for the money, how could that group have been created?" But I believe there are people who could have made it happen with or without money. Thatโ€™s the crucial difference in this case. While I'm not an expert, I was touched by the process of recreating a hit song from a legendary Japanese female singer from the '80s. It felt like a major event. It was amazing because I had never seen anything like it before. Even though I wasnโ€™t familiar with the original song, just seeing it was enough to draw in so much attention and make it feel like a historic moment. Thatโ€™s what talent isโ€”turning something simple, like a cover song, into a major event. I remember thinking, "How do the Japanese people feel about this?" because the crowd's reaction was incredible. The enthusiasm was surprising, and I wondered what they were thinking while watching it. This is the true power of Korean cultureโ€”itโ€™s not just about promoting our own culture but also deeply resonating with others. The entertainment industryโ€™s core business is making audiences happy and even obsessed. Min Hee-jin is undeniably a top-tier artist in this field. If she were to leave HYBE, there would be countless opportunities for her. But if HYBE mishandles this situation, it wonโ€™t just be about losing one personโ€”it could destabilize everything. They really need to handle this carefully. As for stocks and investments, that's up to everyoneโ€™s individual decisions. We're just having a casual chat here about the entertainment industry. As someone with a child in the business and another who's analyzed the industry, weโ€™re just relaxing with a casual discussion. So, letโ€™s pour a drink and enjoy this conversation.

SHE SAID IT. SHE WORKED FOR IT. SHE DID IT: FELI NANDIโ€™S JOURNEY TO THE HICC In 2020, while still a backing vocalist, Feli Nandi made a bold declaration during an In Her Own Words interview with Stan Joni: โ€œI might not be the best musician in the world or the best female musician in Zimbabwe, but Iโ€™m going to be a voice that is going to be heard.โ€ Her philosophy was simple: you don't prove society wrong by arguing or constantly defending yourself. You work hard, stay focused and let the results speak. โ€œResults, results, results, results,โ€ she said. Six years later, those results are speaking loudly. Feli's journey did not begin at the Rainbow Towersโ€™ HICC a place where she had once worked as a waitress. She spent years behind other artists as a backing vocalist, working with several acts, including Mokoomba and, most notably, Mbeu and the Mhodzi Tribe, before stepping out to patiently build Feli Nandi the solo artist. She built her career stage by stage. There were intimate concerts at Theatre in the Park some successful, others not before moving to the Rainbow Towers VIP Lounge and eventually filling 7 Arts Theatre multiple times. Bigger events, international tours, awards and an increasingly busy performance calendar followed, establishing her as one of Zimbabwe's most sought-after female live performers. Along the way, Feli steadily built a catalogue and, importantly, an audience. That makes filling the HICC on 14 August 2026 even more significant. She didn't arrive there riding on one massive current hit song. She arrived backed by something harder to build: a loyal fanbase, a solid catalogue and a powerful community that believes in her music. The fans who bought tickets, shared the campaign, brought friends and showed up deserve their flowers. So does the machinery behind the artist: solid management, her band and production team, strong industry relationships, a positive reputation and brand, and everyone working behind the scenes. Careers of this magnitude are never built by one person. They require vision, discipline, relationships, teamwork and people willing to believe in the dream. For a female artist operating in Zimbabwe's so-called secular music space, filling the HICC is a huge milestone. It expands what seems possible for other women coming behind her and challenges assumptions about who can headline major venues and command audiences at that scale. Ahead of the concert, Feli told EARGROUND TV that the night would be about pouring eight years of their journey onto one stage reflecting on where they had come from and appreciating everyone who had walked with them. On 14 August, that reflection became a celebration. From backing vocalist to filling the HICC. Not overnight. Not because of one song. But through years of consistency, courage, community, teamwork and hard work. Feli Nandi's journey is a reminder that you don't have to answer every doubt or fight every opinion. Sometimes you simply keep building until the results become your answer. Results. Results. Results. Plot Mhako Feli Nandi

Ren Susu, to me, is like a candle in a dark room. She was never afraid of giving people warmth, even if every act of kindness meant another piece of herself melted away. She spent so much of her life becoming light for others that she never noticed she was slowly disappearing. By the time everyone thank her for her glow, there was barely anything left of her. Love, happiness, and peace all feel temporary to her, as though they were never meant to belong in her life for long. So instead of waiting for fate to take them away, she lets go first. It isnโ€™t because she doesnโ€™t love deeply. Itโ€™s because she believes the people she loves would be safer without her. She is brave. She has never hesitated to do what she believes is right, even when it demands impossible sacrifices. Like Qingyi, she has an incredibly strong sense of justice, and she spends much of her life living for other people too. The difference is that Qingyi learned to give because he believed love had to be earned, while Susu learned to sacrifice because she believed her own happiness always came at someone elseโ€™s expense. She doesnโ€™t put herself last because she is naturally selfless. She does it because she no longer believes she should come first. When she learns that Qingyiโ€™s tendons were severed by the Huo family. She quietly asks herself, โ€œWhat if, back then, I had pretended not to know you?โ€ I think that single line tells us everything about how her mind works. There are endless what ifs inside her head. Little by little, those questions begin to erase the person she used to be because she genuinely believes that every tragedy suffered by the people she loves somehow starts with her. When something terrible happens, most of us instinctively ask, โ€œWho did this?โ€ Susu asks something entirely different, โ€œWhat if I hadnโ€™t done this?โ€ She doesnโ€™t look outward for someone to blame. She turns inward first. Every accident becomes her responsibility, every loss becomes evidence that she should have made a different choice, and every sacrifice someone makes for her becomes another reason to believe she only brings misfortune into other peopleโ€™s lives. Thatโ€™s why she keeps pushing Qingyi away. It was never because she didnโ€™t love him. She loved him too much. She simply believed that loving her meant suffering because of her. In her eyes, she is a burden. A jinx. Someone whose existence inevitably invites tragedy. How could she allow the person she loves to stay beside her when she truly believes staying will only destroy him? Susu carries guilt in a way that borders on unbearable. It feels like survivorโ€™s guilt taken to its absolute extreme. She takes responsibility for things that were never hers to carry and wears them as though they are debts she will spend the rest of her life repaying. One of her defining traits is that she constantly chooses to be misunderstood. She would rather let people resent her than watch them get hurt because of her. If becoming the villain in someone elseโ€™s story means they get to live, she will accept that role without ever trying to explain herself. To her, being hated has always felt more bearable than watching someone she loves pay the price for staying by her side. I think a lot of that can be traced back to her childhood. When she enters the orphanage, survival becomes the only thing that matters. It teaches her a lesson that feelings are a luxury, but survival comes first. In a place where every day is about making it through tomorrow, there is very little room for vulnerability. You learn to suppress your own needs because everyone around you is already struggling to survive. It isnโ€™t difficult to imagine how someone raised in that environment would grow into an adult who constantly chooses everyone else before herself. Thatโ€™s exactly who Susu becomes. Every decision she makes revolves around protecting someone else. For Qingyi. For Fang Mulan. For the girls. For her family. For Uncle Fang. For everyone except herself.

๐ŸšจBREAKING: NASA physicist says astronauts have seen UFOs on Gemini spaceflights and other missions, UFOs have interfered with nuclear missile systems, and that the agency has systematically ignored key UFO data for decades. He also cites Japan Airlines flight 1628 as a 45 minute pilot sighting over Alaska involving radar data confiscated by the CIA and White Houseโ€™s scientific advisory team.๐Ÿšจ Kevin Knuth (University at Albany physicist, former NASA) lays out the most concrete physics-first frame for what UFOs are and what they can do. This episode centers on three hard points: repeated UAP interaction with nuclear assets, flight performance that breaks conventional engineering by orders of magnitude, and a growing civilian pipeline analyzing debris and isotopes outside black programs. Along the way, Knuth gets into his brilliant theories on Alien waterworlds and UFO propulsion mechanisms and we discuss bizarre astronaut sightings of red lights, โ€œsnakeโ€ and disc-looking objects in space. 1. The Ubiquitous UFO-Nuclear Connection: Knuth points to the global pattern: UAP show up around U.S. missile fields, Soviet nuclear assets, France, the U.K., and even civilian nuclear regions like Fukushima. Air Force Officer Robert Salas details events at Malmstrom Air Force Base: between September 1966 and March 1967, roughly 30 missiles were lost to UAP-related interference. Events like from witnesses beyond reproach convinced Knuth UFOs were impossible to ignore. 2. How UFOs Fly: 5,000 Gs Isnโ€™t โ€œFast.โ€ Itโ€™s Impossible Knuth uses the commonly cited estimate of the 2004 Nimitz UFO sighting off the coast of San Diego: 28,000 feet to sea level in ~0.78 seconds, implying roughly 5,000 Gโ€™s minimum. He contrasts it with the limits of modern fighters: an F-35โ€™s wings fail around 13 G, missile frames canโ€™t survive much beyond ~60 G. He cites a figure around ~11 gigawatts for that maneuver. More than the total nuclear output of the United States, packed into something roughly the size of an F/A-18. Even assuming 99% efficiency, the waste heat alone would be catastrophic. The object should melt. It doesnโ€™t. This is not a scaling problem. Itโ€™s a category break. 3. How UFOs Interact With Water Knuth describes a case involving the Southland in the 1980s: an ~800-foot-long USO, roughly 150 feet in diameter, closing ~2 km in ~25 seconds, with an implied top speed around ~3,500 mph underwater. No wake. No water displacement behavior consistent with classical fluid mechanics. Yet sonar returns exist, meaning water molecules are bouncing off it while the object behaves like it isnโ€™t interacting with the medium. 4. Physics Has To Break. Knuthโ€™s conclusion is blunt: if the accelerations are real, youโ€™re forced into the territory of inertia, gravity, and general relativity. Warp drive and โ€œwarp bubblesโ€ are on the table, but even that has unanswered questions, like what a warp bubble does in an atmosphere. 5. NASAโ€™s Documented Astronaut sightings: Knuth discusses accounts tied to astronauts and Apollo and Gemini-era spaceflight that suggest the phenomenon isnโ€™t limited to Earthโ€™s atmosphere. Gemini 11 involves audio of the sighting and a documented outage of the vehicle in one of the most debated cases in NASAโ€™s history. Knuth explores the truth behind it. 6. The UFO Case With The Most Data Around It: Japan Airlines flight 1628. Cargo 747 Captain Kenju Terauchi, flying over Alaska. First: rectangular objects with lights scanning the cockpit, with pilots reporting they could feel heat. Then: a massive walnut-shaped object, described as multiple 747s in size, effectively an aircraft-carrier-scale presence, following the plane for roughly 45 minutes and moving side-to-side around it. Knuth cites John Callahan (FAA Chief of Accidents and Investigations) reviewing the incident. A meeting follows where Reaganโ€™s scientific team and the CIA demand the data. Callahan copies it and keeps it under his desk, later making it public after retirement. The officials in the meeting reportedly say theyโ€™ve never had 45 minutes of radar data on one of these objects before. Knuth references physicist Daniel Coumbe (Niels Bohr Institute) analyzing the radar jumps, with extreme accelerations discussed in secondary analysis. The core point: radar-derived kinematics imply performance far beyond known human technology. 7. Reverse Engineering Is Real. And Failing. Knuth says heโ€™s heard enough from credible people over years to believe thereโ€™s โ€œnuts and boltsโ€ craft work happening. He believes we just havenโ€™t made any progress: its like a caveman looking at an iPhone. 8. The Isotopes Donโ€™t Lie: He describes colleague Matthew Shadagas studying purported debris using neutron activation techniques to infer isotope ratios non-destructively. The core idea is simple: if you find isotope ratios that donโ€™t occur naturally on Earth and donโ€™t match asteroid patterns, you have a possible smoking gun. 9. Theyโ€™re Not โ€œComing Here.โ€ Theyโ€™re Here. He echoes the Carl Sagan logic: they arenโ€™t arriving from another star system every other Tuesday. He points to timing issues like Fukushima sightings the next day. If they were truly interstellar without exotic travel and comms, the lag alone breaks the story. His best bet is underwater bases, with water offering stable temperature, shielding, stealth against EM detection, and access to energy and minerals. 10. The Cover-Up Is The System Knuth frames the modern UAP landscape as a collision between overwhelming sensor/witness evidence and institutional incentives to bury it. The result isnโ€™t โ€œno data.โ€ Itโ€™s data that gets siloed, seized, and stigmatized before it ever reaches the public. Why this matters: This is what the UFO question looks like when you treat it like a serious scientific inquiry, not a cultural one. Nuclear site surveillance is patterned. The flight performance exceeds known engineering limits by orders of magnitude. And the most credible testimony isnโ€™t theatrical. Itโ€™s documented and coming from the highest levels of credible witnesses. If you want hardcore UFO science, watch this episode with Kevin Knuth, in the reply ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐ŸšจTHE SOUND WAS VERY BAD, BUT I DID MY BEST TO DECIPHER THE OPENING REMARKS OF TRUMP AND ZELENSKYY: Q: President Trump, do you think Putin is serious about peace this time? TRUMP: I do. I do. I think he is. I think they both are. Q: What was your message to Putin? TRUMP: You got to make a deal. Got to get it done. Too many people dying and I think both presidents want to make a deal. I really do. I made a brief phone call. Q: Do you meet Putin again soon? TRUMP: It depends. It depends. But I do believe that we have the makings of a deal that's good for Ukraine, good for everybody and that's very important. "There's nothing more important", - my book. We settled eight wars and this is the most difficult one. I thought it would be in the middle of the pack. This, this is the most difficult one, but we're gonna get it done. We're gonna have a great meeting today. This gentleman has worked very hard, and is very brave, and his people are very brave. I mean, what they've gone through, no nation... very rarely a nation ever had to go through this. So, we're gonna have a very good meeting today, I think. And I'm also calling President Putin back after the meeting and we'll continue our negotiation. Pretty complex, but not that complex. Q: Do you expect any deadline? TRUMP: I don't have deadlines. I have... You know what my deadline is? Getting the war ended. We don't have deadlines, do you agree with that? ZELENSKYY: yes... finish, as quick as possible Q: Are you prepared to sign the security agreement today? TRUMP: Well, it depends what the security agreement says. What a dumb question. Nobody even knows what the security agreement is going to say. But there will be a security agreement. It'll be a strong agreement, and the European nations are very much involved in that. They'll be very much involved in protection, et cetera. But the European nations have been really great. They're very much in line with this meeting and getting a deal done. They are all in... They're terrific people. I think you can say that. There's no, nobody there. They all want to get it done and they've been very supportive, I think. President, do you have anything to say? ZELENSKYY: Thank you so much Mr. President. Thank you for this meeting. Thank you for your invitation. Yes, really, I agree with President. Our teams, they do what they can. And I think that during last month, they moved forward with negotiations and Americans... thank you very much for your team, Steve and Jared, they worked very well. They worked on different documents. I hope that all these documents can bring peace as soon as possible. And, I agree with president that really the Europeans were very supportive. The president is on the contact with them, and maybe we will have the phone contact with them. TRUMP: We can call them, today Q: Why did you want to meet with President at Mar-a-Lago today? ZELENSKYY: Why? So we have... we spoke with our teams. They worked on 20 points plan. Then they worked on prosperity and security document. And 20 points plan is very important to discuss and sequencing that. It's very important. Our teams talked about the strategy, how to take step by step and to bring peace closer. And we will discuss this strategy. Q: President Zelenskyy, are you gonna make territorial concessions? ZELENSKYY: When we speak about 20 points plan, there is... They are, in 20 points plan, - 90% by the way, was done by our two teams, - I think they made a great job, great work. And yes, we will discuss these points also. TRUMP: And there are great economic benefits for Ukraine also, cause you know, there's a lot of rebuilding to do and there's a lot of wealth to be had. And they have great wealth, potentially they have great wealth. They wanna get started. But there is great economic benefit for Ukraine in what we're talking about. Q: President Trump, some are saying that the recent attacks in the past couple days, that Russia has staged against Ukraine, shows that President Putin isn't serious about peace. What is your reaction to that? TRUMP: No, he's very serious. I can say that I believe Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also. And I don't say that negatively. I think he'd probably have to. I don't say that negatively, you understand that? (to Zelenskyy) I think, now he hasn't told me that, but there have been some explosions in various parts of Russia, and it looks to me like, I don't know, I don't think it came from the Congo. I don't think it came from the United States of America. It possibly came from Ukraine, but I haven't asked that question. Maybe I won't bother asking. You know they're fighting a war and we'll see what happens. But I believe it's a war that... and we have two willing parties, we have two willing countries, they wanna see it end. Look, the people of Ukraine want it to end, and the people of Russia want it to end, and the two leaders want it to end. Q: Regarding the economic benefits for Ukraine: Europe is holding some billions of frozen Russian assets. Do you believe that should go to help rebuild Ukraine or go back to Russia again? TRUMP: None of that's been determined. But it'll go, it's gonna go very quickly. I think we're very, we're in final stages of talking and we're gonna see. Otherwise, it's gonna go on for a long time. It'll either end or it's gonna go on for a long time and millions of additional people are gonna be killed. Millions. And nobody wants that. Q: Mr. President (Trump), are you expecting to get to an agreement today? TRUMP: I just think we can do, I think we can move very rapidly. I really feel that. We've spoken. I know you had dinner with Steve. Steve Wickoff and Jared have done a fantastic job. And everybody has. Marco has been incredible. The whole group has been, our group has been incredible. And Ukraine appreciates it, and Russia appreciates it. They both want to see it end, and we're gonna get it ended. Thank you very much, everybody. ZELENSKYY: Thank you so much. TRUMP: We'll see you, I think, at the end. But I do think we'll call Europe also, we're gonna speak to the European leaders. Thank you very much.

So whatโ€™s up with Trump? Trump is only two things, and both have been proven to be an absolute disaster for the country. He is stupid, and he is a narcissist. Letโ€™s prove this. Trump is a silver-spooned child who never read a book, and whose only interests for the longest time were women and superficial pursuits. Thatโ€™s it. This is a man with no morals a man who cheated on both wives and failed in multiple businesses in almost Failproof condition set up by his father and now he is using the presidency to secure Gaza real estate for himself and his son in law. This is a guy who had the best team, MTG, Massie, Elon, Vivek, Joe Kent, Tucker, Charlie, Candace and even Megyn kelly, all of them supported him and literally helped put him in power. If Trump thinks he won on his own, he needs a reality check. He won because of those people. He won because he said there would be no more wars and that people like Lindsey Graham (the swamp) wouldnโ€™t be anywhere near decision-making. The harsh critics of him and the same people who tried to kill him, are his closest allies today. And this complete idiot has managed to push out every sane voice around him. Every single one. Elon got close to auditing Pentagon and was effectively sidelined. He was offended, his business was impacted by Trumpโ€™s decisions and although he tried to make peace, he is nowhere near Trumpโ€™s inner circle anymore. Vivek was pushed out right away. Then Candace. Then Charlie was effectively silenced by a bullet in his neck and instead of demanding answers pushing his own FBI guy for transparency, demanding names, autopsy reports, and full details Trump did nothing! He did nothing. He is not brave he is a coward and a bully. Heโ€™s only strong against sanctioned countries that canโ€™t fight back, nations targeted by his predecessors simply because they refused to bow down and hand over their resources to the corporate America. Meanwhile, the same system enriches entrenched power at home, allowing corporate elites to grow into massive monopolies that squeeze the middle class out of existence, untouched. That wealth they took from latino America is not for Americans, it's for Blackrock, Israel etc, you saw it first hand. Iran won't be for American people either. He keeps calling Charlie his friend, but he did nothing for Charlie. No, Trump doesnโ€™t have friends. He has opportunities. He uses people, then gets rid of them once these people show that they also have their own opinions and they want to be heard. Then came Tucker. Anyone who challenged Trump or reminded him of his own limitations was quickly dismissed. Meanwhile, political opportunists like Graham who have been playing the game for far too long realized theyโ€™re dealing with a narcissist. All they need to do is praise him constantly, constantly! Tell him how great he is, how everything he says is brilliant, unprecedented, amazing and thatโ€™s it, you've got his attention. Then they feed him bad information while reinforcing his thinking. Thatโ€™s how manipulation works: you guide someone toward your idea while making them believe it was their own idea. Intelligence agencies have mastered this and Trump is an easy target, he is absolutely a stupid narcissist the easiest target for a trained intelligence apparatus.We are seeing this play out in real time, the unexplained shift and the strange conflicts with people who once supported him. One thing Trump is not is an actor. He canโ€™t act, not even for the sake of politics, so none of his pre-presidential stances were act and he did believe what he was saying before. The problem is that he is uneducated, impulsive and Stupid when you add narcissism to this you get the perfect recipe for disaster. So now we have Trump aligned with the very group he claimed to be fighting against. This is a vulnerable spot for the country, uninformed leader who doesnโ€™t understand geography, history, politics or foreign policy. He canโ€™t distinguish between countries, struggles with basic facts and has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of understanding about how the world works from international relations to economics. He has said countless absurd things and people kept forgiving him, hoping he was different, an outsider. We chose to tolerate his stupidity in exchange for change, but in the end, we only got the stupidity. The change never came. Now itโ€™s clear, heโ€™s now one of them, not one of us. Apparently Joe Kent is weak, but I guess Lindsey Graham is strong like a lion! :)))))))) Itโ€™s time for a third party!

Like seemingly everyone on this app I have plenty of opinions about Twitter > X and figure now is a good time to open up a bit about my experience at the company. I tweeted for years into the void for the love of it like many of you, but after selling my startup to Twitter in 2020 I finally got to see it from the inside. Up close it was both amazing and terrible, like so many other companies and things in life. As someone with a maniacal sense of urgency built into me, Twitter often felt siloed and bureaucratic. Dumb power plays, reorgs and team name changes for the sake of someoneโ€™s ego were distractions that occurred too regularly. You couldnโ€™t just be a builder โ€” you also needed to be a politician. I was shocked by how old and bespoke the infrastructure was, but there was little will to think beyond quarterly earnings calls because we were all beholden to the masters of mDAU and revenue growth as a public company. It often felt like things were held together with duct tape and glue, and that many people had just accepted that a small product change could take months or quarters to build. Management had become bloated to accommodate career growth and the company culture felt too soft and entitled for my own taste. Healthy debate and criticism was replaced by a default refrain of โ€œno, that canโ€™t be doneโ€ or โ€œanother team owns that so donโ€™t touch itโ€. Teams could spend months building a feature and then some last-minute kerfuffle meant itโ€™d get killed for being too risky. Just talking directly to customers could turn into a turf war and create deadlocks between functions. I recall one such episode where a teammate spent a month trying to get clearance to reach out to some creators. He went through 3 layers of management and 6 different functional teams. In the end 4 executives were involved in the approval. It was insanity, and unfortunately I saw several top performers get burnt out and demoralized after exhausting experiences like that. Most people were good at their jobs but it was nearly impossible to fire poor performers โ€” instead they got shuffled around to other teams because few managers had the will or resources to figure out how to get them out. A high performance culture pulls everyone up, but the opposite weighs everyone down. Twitter often felt like a place that kept squandering its own potential, which was sad and frustrating to see. The person who was best at cutting through the BS and inspiring a vision during my tenure was Kayvon Beykpour, but he wasnโ€™t fully empowered to run the company since he wasnโ€™t the CEO. Despite those real issues, I was lucky enough to work with some of the most talented people in the business at Twitter in product, design, engineering, research, legal, BD, trust & safety, marketing, PR and more. Often it was a small cross-functional team of intrinsically motivated people who made the biggest impact by challenging some core assumption. Those teams were very fun to be on but they felt like the exception rather than the rule. The months of waiting for the deal to close in 2022 were particularly slow and painful; it felt like leadership hid behind lawyers and legal language as all answers about the companyโ€™s future notoriously included the phrase โ€œfiduciary dutyโ€. Colleagues openly talked about how Twitter was being sold because leadership didnโ€™t have conviction in their own plan or ability to fix longstanding problems. Although I didnโ€™t know much about Elon I was cautiously optimistic โ€“ I saw him as the guy who built incredible and enduring companies like Tesla and SpaceX, so perhaps his private ownership could shake things up and breathe new life into the company. My take on whatโ€™s happened since then is full of lived nuance. When people ask why I stayed itโ€™s easy to answer: optimism, curiosity, personal growth and money. From the beginning I saw that some changes Elon was going to make were smart and others were stupid, but when Iโ€™m on a team I uphold the philosophy of โ€œpraise in public and criticize in privateโ€. I was far from a silent wallflower. I shared my opinions openly and pushed back often, both before and after the acquisition. I made peace with the fact that I didnโ€™t have psychological safety at Twitter 2.0 and that meant I could be fired at any moment, and for no reason at all. I watched it happen repeatedly and saw how negatively it impacted team morale. Although I couldnโ€™t change the situation I did my best to shine a light on folks who were doing important work while being an emotionally supportive leader for those who were struggling to adapt to the more brutalist and hardcore culture. In person Elon is oddly charming and heโ€™s genuinely funny. He also has personality quirks like telling the same stories and jokes over and over. The challenge is his personality and demeanor can turn on a dime going from excited to angry. Since it was hard to read what mood he might be in and what his reaction would be to any given thing, people quickly became afraid of being called into meetings or having to share negative news with him. At times it felt like the inner circle was too zealous and fanatical in their unwavering support of everything he said. When individuals encouraged me to be careful about what I said I politely thanked them and said I would not be taking their advice. I had no interest in adding to a culture of fear or walking on eggshells around Elon. Either he would respect me for being real or he could fire me. Either outcome was okay. I quickly learned that product and business decisions were nearly always the result of him following his gut instinct, and he didnโ€™t seem compelled to seek out or rely on a lot of data or expertise to inform it. That was particularly frustrating for me since I believed I had useful institutional knowledge that could help him make better decisions. Instead he'd poll Twitter, ask a friend, or even ask his biographer for product advice. At times it seemed he trusted random feedback more than the people in the room who spent their lives dedicated to tackling the problem at hand. I never figured out why and remain puzzled by it. I donโ€™t think things had to be as difficult or dramatic as they turned out to be but I canโ€™t say Iโ€™d bet against Elon or count him out. Heโ€™s smart and has enough money to make a lot of mistakes and then course correct when things go awry. As the largest shareholder he can tank the value in the short-term, but eventually heโ€™ll need things to turn around. His focus on speed is incredible and heโ€™s obviously not afraid of blowing things up, but now the real measure will be how it get reconstructed and if enough people want the new everything app he is building. I learned a ton from watching Elon up close โ€“ the good, the bad and the ugly. His boldness, passion and storytelling is inspiring, but his lack of process and empathy is painful. Elon has an exceptional talent for tackling hard physics-based problems but products that facilitate human connection and communication require a different type of social-emotional intelligence. Social networks are hard to kill but theyโ€™re not immune from death spirals. Only time will tell what the outcome will be but I hope X finds its footing because competition is good for consumers. In the meantime, I have a lot of empathy for the employees who are working tirelessly behind the scenes, the advertisers who want a stable platform to sell their stuff on, and the customers who are experiencing chaotic updates. Itโ€™s been a madhouse. Twitter moved at the speed of molasses and suffered from bureaucracy but now X is run by a mercurial leader whose instinct is driven by the unique and undoubtedly weird experience of being the biggest voice on the platform. Many of you know me from the sleeping bag incident where I slept on a conference room floor, so I figure, letโ€™s talk about that too. Going viral was an odd and interesting experience. I was attacked by people on the left and called a billionaire bootlicker, while simultaneously being attacked by people on the right for being a working mom who was demonized as an example of a woman choosing her career over her family. Thankfully I can laugh at myself and I donโ€™t take armchair keyboard ideologues too seriously. Being the main character on the timeline, even for a few minutes, requires a thick skin and a strong sense of self. The real story is pretty simple. I was given a nearly impossible deadline for his first project and as the product lead I would never ask anyone to do anything I wasnโ€™t willing to do myself. So I worked round the clock alongside an amazing team spanning many timezones, and we delivered it on schedule โ€“ truly against the odds. It was intense but also fun. Those first few months were wildly crazy but I wanted to be there and I have no regrets. Showing up and giving it your all should, in most cases, be celebrated. Obviously you canโ€™t work at that pace forever but there are moments where bursts are mission critical. Iโ€™ve pulled many all-nighters in my career and also when I was a student for something that mattered to me. I donโ€™t regret putting in long hours or being ambitious, and feel proud of how far Iโ€™ve come from where I started thanks in part to that type of work ethic. I think of life as a game, and being at Twitter after the acquisition was like playing life at Level 10 on Hard Mode. Since I like taking on difficult challenges I found it interesting and rewarding because I was growing and learning so rapidly. I realize our society today trends toward polarization but when it comes to this app, its owner, and its future, I am neither a fangirl nor a hater โ€” Iโ€™m an optimistic pragmatist. This may really irritate the internet but you cannot pigeonhole me into some radical position of either loving or hating every change thatโ€™s occurred. I escaped my fundamentalist upbringing and am a free thinker these days. Everyone can be seen as both a hero or a villain, depending on who is telling what angle of the story. Elon doesnโ€™t deserve to be venerated or vilified. Heโ€™s a complicated person with an unfathomable amount of financial and geopolitical power which is why humanity needs him to err on the side of goodness, rather than political divisiveness and pettiness. I disagree with many of his decisions and am surprised by his willingness to burn so much down, but with enough money and time, something new & innovative may emerge. I hope it does. Sometimes I get asked about how I felt when I got laid off, and the truth is it was the best gift Iโ€™ve ever received. Sure the headlines and punchlines wrote themselves but I was battle hardened by then. I knew that Iโ€™d worked in a way where I could walk out with my head held high. I have no bitterness about the Product Management team being dismantled, and it made sense for me to exit as nearly all of the remaining PMs were let go. Going on a sabbatical afterward has been exactly what I needed to decompress and Iโ€™m finally feeling rested and relaxed. Iโ€™m a creative and a builder, so sooner than later Iโ€™ll jump back into a high intensity company but Iโ€™m grateful for this season of thinking, reading, traveling and being with people I love. After having time to reflect I believe more than ever that the very best outcomes flow from great leadership that combines the head and the heart. Iโ€™d be remiss if I didnโ€™t note that in all of this there is also a cautionary tale for anyone who succeeds at something โ€” which is that the higher you climb, the smaller your world becomes. Itโ€™s a strange paradox but the richest and most powerful people are also some of the most isolated. I found myself frequently looking at Elon and seeing a person who seemed quite alone because his time and energy was so purely devoted to work, which is not the model of a life I want to live. Money and fame can create psychological prisons which may worsen mental health conditions. Weโ€™ve all seen high profile cases of celebrities who end up with some combination of depression, paranoia, delusions of grandeur, mania and/or erratic behavior. Living in an echo chamber is dangerous and being at the top makes a person even more susceptible to being surrounded by yes people when nearly everyone around you is on the payroll and somehow stands to benefit from being in your orbit. Figuring out how to keep โ€œbetter angelsโ€ around in the form of family, friends, and teammates is critical to staying on the rails and enduring intense ups and downs. Everyone needs to hear hard truths sometimes and if you fire all the people who speak up then the reality distortion field may just turn into a vortex. I was drawn to Twitter because Iโ€™m obsessed with the problem of loneliness and connection between people. I find it fascinating & troubling that humans are getting lonelier as we simultaneously create a world thatโ€™s both safer and wealthier. I donโ€™t believe that trade-off has to exist, which is why I keep returning to that theme in my personal and professional life. I realize this is too long of a tweet but Twitter was a weird and special place on the internet, and Iโ€™m grateful to have played a teeny tiny role in its story and evolution. Iโ€™m here for whatever comes next โ€” on this app and in new places. Consumer social is very much alive and at a fascinating juncture, so Iโ€™ll be watching and participating and sharing hot takes because I donโ€™t want to, and probably canโ€™t, turn that part of me off. Perhaps X becomes a resounding success. Or it fails epically. Either way, I expect it will continue to be a very entertaining ride. ๐Ÿซก

Ten Takeaways From 10/21/25 ONE) NBA on NBC Hello, friends. Welcome to the 2025-26 NBA season. Itโ€™s been a minute, hasnโ€™t it? A whole lot has changed since we last spoke. We were reintroduced to the NBA on NBC. Canโ€™t believe itโ€™s been almost 25 years, but here we are again. They absolutely crushed it after having some early audio difficulties. I get how clichรฉ it is, but I seriously got chills once โ€œRoundball Rockโ€ started playing. Thought Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady had contagious energy in the pre-game coverage. The graphics are clean and straightforward. Really like the team fouls tracking in the score bugโ€”just a very pleasant experience. Looking forward to the โ€œPrimeโ€ experience. God, canโ€™t believe it costs $650 to watch basketball now. We need to talk about the MJ segment, though. If youโ€™ve been living under a rock, NBC shocked the world and somehow convinced Michael Jordan to sign on as a โ€œspecial contributorโ€. โ€œInsights to Excellenceโ€ is sadly everything I thought it would beโ€ฆ nothing. He wasnโ€™t in the studio or anything. Looked like some pre-recorded interview with Mike Tirico from who knows when at his house, talking about why heโ€™s come out of hiding. The thing lasted about three and a half minutes. โ€œTo pay it forward. I had the obligation to basketball.โ€ - MJ on the decision to join NBC Okay Mike. Hoping for some actual insight in future recordings. TWO) Champs Are Here OKC received their rings and raised their banner before the game. Vibes were immaculate. Dillon Jones was even in attendance. Good thing the Wizards waived him just in time for him to make his flight. Rockets werenโ€™t having it, though. Ime Udoka said that they didnโ€™t watch the ceremony and were instead focused on trying to ruin their night. Kevin Durant came out for warmups to loud boos, and so he booed them back. Everyone laughed. Meanwhile, Steven Adams still gets loud cheers because, well, who doesnโ€™t love Steven Adams? It was a rough go-around for all Thunder not named Chet Holmgren (28 points, 11-17 FG) to start, especially SGA. He had just five points at the half on 40.0% shooting (2-5 FG), but you can only contain the league and Finals MVP for so long. He scored 24 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter and overtimes. Whatโ€™s up with the four missed free throws (10-14 FT)? "I'm glad the guys enjoyed the ceremony. That's a great, great life event they had." - Mark Daigneault "It was surreal. I don't know how to describe it besides that. Seeing the banner raised was cool too... I'll remember it for the rest of my life." - SGA on the pregame ceremony THREE) Thunder Starters One of the more critical questions going into Opening Night was, โ€œWhoโ€™s the 5th Thunder starter?โ€ as we wait for JDubโ€™s wrist to get right. SGA, Dort, Chet, and IHart felt obvious. Between Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace, I leaned Cason mainly because of the bigger picture. Didnโ€™t make sense to start Alex after managing him all last year, but then he started in every preseason game he played. Had to give that some sort of credit (and we did). Well, they ended up doing what they did a lot last year: change it up midway. Wallace started, and then Caruso started the second halfโ€ฆ for Hartenstein. Here we go again. Casonโ€™s playmaking looks improved. Daigneault went 11 deep (!!!) in the first quarter. Rookie, Brooks Barnhizer was the fourth sub off the bench, played about two minutes, and was never seen again. Part of that reason is Ajay Mitchell, who checked in after him (for Shai). Thereโ€™s been some buzz, going back to his standout Summer League (19.8 ppg, 5.3 apg, 4.8 rpg, 1.5 spg). He scored 12 of his 16 points in the second quarter. โ€œNot surprised. He was playing like this before he got hurt last year.โ€ - Mark Daigneault on Ajay Mitchell FOUR) Jumbo Lineup Itโ€™s not much of a surprise to see Udoka start with the Steven Adams/Alperen Sengun pairing after how dominant they looked at the end of last season (+29.9 net rating, 162 minutes)โ€”especially given the matchup, with Holmgren and Hartenstein on the other side. The real shocker is how much they leaned into it. Alpi and Adams shared the court for over 30 minutes (+8). LIKE WTF?!!! This was Adams' first time touching 37 minutes since November 9, 2022. They did just sign him to a three-year extension. Youโ€™d think they might wanna be careful with their investment. The average height of this Rockets' starting lineup is 6'10 (Thompson, Durant, Smith, Sengun, Adams), LMAO FIVE) Alpi Dominance Continues Maybe what Sengun was doing at EuroBasket 2025 (21.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.0 spg, and 1.1 bpg) translates over? Not gonna lie, I certainly had my doubts, but noโ€ฆ heโ€™s looking just as dominant (I know, one game). Alperen Sengun vs Thunder: 39 PTS 11 REB 7 AST 2 STL 5-8 3P (career-high) 10-11 FT 27.7% USG Yeah, I see it too. Second time in his career, heโ€™s attempted eight threes. Dude averaged 1.2 attempts per game last year. The hitch in his shot appears to be gone, so hey, this could be real (doubt it). All I know is that if it is, itโ€™ll do wonders for his ceiling on sites that reward threes (DK). Also, going 10 of 11 from the line is something worth paying attention to. He was a 69.2% free-throw shooter last season. On the flip side, Amen Thompson (18 pts, 4 reb, 5 ast) had seven attempts from behind the arc and missed them all. Sucks, but his shot still looks flat. Thereโ€™s no lift. While weโ€™re here on Thompson, he had to leave the game late because of cramps. SIX) The Reed Conundrum Iโ€™ll give Reed Sheppard (9 pts, 4 ast, 37.9% TS, 28 min) this; heโ€™s a confident motherfucker, and I love that about him (in a cute way). Itโ€™s hilarious how many times he looked off KD in this game. Heโ€™s gonna have stretches where heโ€™s feeling it and looks automatic, but is it really gonna be worth it if his defense looks this dreadful? He canโ€™t stay in front of anyone. The Thunder hunted and won that matchup with ease all night. Amen getting cramped up in OT1 really salvaged his minutes, cause I didnโ€™t think he was gonna see the court again. Again, I know itโ€™s only one game, but a couple more performances like this and things could get ugly. SEVEN) KD Gets Away With One Or should that say gets away with none? Kevin Durant (23 points, 9 rebounds) made his Rockets debut, and thereโ€™re gonna be two things you take away from it. Whyโ€™d you trade for him again? He was pretty much non-existent when they needed him most down the stretch, with a 12.5 USG% in both OTโ€™s. There shouldnโ€™t have been a second overtime. KD was clearly seen calling for a timeout after a rebound with about a second left on the clock. The problem is, they didnโ€™t have anyโ€“He Webberโ€™d it. He should have been Tโ€™d up, giving the Thunder a free throw to potentially end the game. Zarba and his buddies even got together to talk it over once the buzzer sounded, but did nothing. Strange, but luckily, it didnโ€™t end up mattering much since OKC won in the second overtime. โ€œKevin definitely called timeout 3 timesโ€ฆ They just missed it.โ€ - SGA The Thunder beat the Rockets 125-124. EIGHT) Kuminga Starts Gallagher and I both felt pretty confident (sounds so stupid saying that with Kerr) that had Mosey Moody been available for this one, he would have been named the fifth starter, but his calfโ€™s still bothering him. Steve Kerr decided to start Jonathan Kuminga (17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 33 minutes) instead, rewarding him for a strong preseason. There might be some more rewards coming because, whew, this is exactly what theyโ€™ve been wanting to see from him for the last couple of years, especially the boards. You wouldnโ€™t know it from looking at Lukaโ€™s box score, but JK did about as well as you could defending him; he made his threes (4-6 3PT) and consistently found the open man. Iโ€™m gonna go ahead and guess that he starts again against Denver on Thursday Let the showcasing begin. โ€œWhen you ask for opportunity, you must deliver. Heโ€™s been very vocal about his opportunity and he delivered.โ€ - Draymond Green on Jonathan Kuminga โ€œI just wanna help JK be greatโ€ฆ Weโ€™ve been kickin' it. Hanging out. Watching film and just working on our game together. I know how great he wants to be and how great he can be.โ€ - Jimmy Butler on mentoring Jonathan Kuminga NINE) Jimmy Being Jimmy One of the funnier moments of the night came post-game, when Jimmy Butler talked about a bet he made with Draymond Green. The wager is that heโ€™ll have a better free-throw percentage than Steph Curry this season. Deadass, hahaha. He admitted that itโ€™s probably a bad bet but I still love that he does this type of shit. Two years ago, he said he was playfully aiming to shoot 50.0% from three. He obviously didnโ€™t hit that mark, but he did shoot a career-best 41.4% that season. If youโ€™re wondering how the bet is looking to start after Game 1: Jimmy Butler: 16-16 FT (100.0%) Steph Curry: 8-8 FT (100.0%) Will keep you updated as the season goes. Jesus, 16 free throw attempts. โ€œNo chance.โ€ - Steph Curry when asked if Jimmy Butler has any shot at winning the bet Before weโ€™re done with GS, a shoutout to Will Richard (5 points, 14 minutes). We tease Kerr all the time about playing these randos, but this kid looks like he can actually play. TEN) All Luka and Austin The Lakers are gonna struggle hard while LeBronโ€™s out. They just donโ€™t have any other guys on the team that can create. Luka Doncic (43 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 34.7% USG) and Austin Reaves (26 points, 9 assists, 30.1% USG) scored or assisted on 97 of the Lakers' 109 points. So wild. Marcus Smart (9 points) was the first sub off the bench. As for DeAndre Aytonโ€™s debut (10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 turnovers), letโ€™s just say it didnโ€™t take long for the Lakersโ€™ fan base to turn on him. Poor guy looked lost out there. "We just started. This is probably the second game we've played together." - Rui Hachimura on what the difference was for the Lakers "The trend I see is that we continue to be a terrible third-quarter team." - JJ Redick The Warriors beat the Lakers 119-109.

Hiring? Ex-Air Canada worker and terrorist supporter is looking for work We have yet another update on the not-so-sensational Sammy Allouba. Allouba is the now ex-Air Canada employee, who until recently, worked out of Toronto Pearson International Airport. Allouba had access to luggage and aircraft. That was a tad problematic given his vile social media postings. You see, Allouba went out of his way to convey hatred against Jews, Israelis, Iranians, and even anti-Hamas Palestinians. He also glorified designated terrorist groups and individual terrorists. Donโ€™t know about you, but we wouldnโ€™t want to see this wannabe-jihadi working at a corner gas station much less Canadaโ€™s largest airport. But when Rebel News exposed this charmer last month, Air Canada ended up terminating him. As to why Air Canada tolerated this individual for so long is beyond our paygrade. But nevertheless, Air Canada did do the right thing albeit for the wrong reason. Which is to say, the airline fired Allouba so it wouldnโ€™t endure any more bad publicity. But a win is a win, we suppose. Of note, Allouba was also pursuing a side hustle. Heโ€™s an aspiring actor, you see. He was represented by a Toronto-based agency called The Casting Solution. You might notice weโ€™re using the past-tense, because when the agencyโ€™s principal, Samantha Rose, learned of his hatred online, suddenly Allouba was no longer represented by her agency. You see, there arenโ€™t many TV and movie productions out there keen on hiring terrorism supporters. And so it is as they say in Hollywood, Sammyโ€™s never going to have lunch in this town againโ€ฆ In the aftermath, Allouba scrubbed his social media. But just the other day, like a piece of rancid driftwood, he resurfaced on Facebook under the handle of Sammy AI. I donโ€™t know if AI stands for Artificial Intelligence or Absence of Intelligence. But never mind. Hereโ€™s what Allouba had to say in a post entitled, โ€œFeeling drainedโ€: โ€œGood morning everyone. Yes, Iโ€™m back.โ€ โ€œEveryone.โ€ Whoโ€™s everyone? Who in their right mind gives a rodentโ€™s rectum about Sammy Allouba? Letโ€™s continue: โ€œSo, hereโ€™s the short version. Since the end of January I have been dealing with an extremely unfortunate situation that came up at work. I donโ€™t want to get into details here.โ€ Oh, why donโ€™t you want to get into details, Sammy? Are you maybe ashamed of the details? By the way, here are some of those โ€œdetailsโ€ Allouba once shared with the world via social media. For starters, Allouba openly called for the elimination of almost 10 million Israelis. He wanted to see that task carried out by the Iranian regime (even though the mullahs would seem to have their hands full at the momentโ€ฆ) Allouba also states heโ€™s a proud supporter of designated terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. He even praises Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel. Notably, itโ€™s not just Israelis and Jews Allouba hates. He has also expressed interest in seeing anti-regime Iranians murdered. Same goes for anti-Hamas Palestinians. Allouba pretty much loathes anyone that chooses civilization over savagery. Letโ€™s continue with his most recent post: โ€œThose of you who see me in-person know what Iโ€™m referring to and I love you for your support.โ€ Say, whatโ€™s the over/under line for the number of Sammy Allouba supporters out there? Weโ€™re going to set it at 4. Letโ€™s carry on: โ€œIโ€™m sad to say that itโ€™s cost me my job at Air Canada, a job you all know I really enjoyed and cherished, and itโ€™s cost me my representation with talent agency. At the moment, Iโ€™m looking for new F/T work. As far as my representation goesโ€ฆ that might take a minute. Iโ€™m handling everything as best I can, but to say my mental health has taken a beating is putting it mildly.โ€ Oh-oh! Red alert! Are you taking notes RCMP and CSIS? We have someone on team terror that is confessing to a mental health crisis. Call us overcautious, but you might want to pay Sammy a house callโ€ฆ Now the following statement raises even more red flags methinks: โ€œMy work union is doing what they can for me with regard to getting my job back, but the outlook isnโ€™t great.โ€ This is staggering. Instead of Sammyโ€™s union saying โ€œgood luck and good riddanceโ€ to him, the union allegedly thinks Allouba should remain with the rank and file? Really? Why? Whatever happened to public safety being paramount? Indeed, what was Air Canada supposed to do once Allouba was exposed? How many times in the aftermath of a mass shooting do we hear the refrain of, โ€œIf only there were telltale signs that the individual had mayhem on his mind?โ€ Sammy Allouba gleefully stated his agenda in black and white. He is the author of his own misfortune. But allow us to continue with Alloubaโ€™s whine-fest: โ€œIf anyone knows of any fruitful F/T work opportunities, please send it my way. It would mean the world to me. I hate asking, but here I am. I know Iโ€™ll be fine in the end, but I certainly donโ€™t feel like it right now.โ€ Two things: this boo-hoo/woe is me post is right out of the Islamist playbook. Which is to say, when all else fails, play the victim card. Secondly, where is the contrition? Where is the apology for all those previous vile postings? There is none. Clearly this rabid leopard is not changing his spots. Third, everyoneโ€™s gotta eat, right? So, we appeal to you, dear viewers: do you have a suggestion for poor Sammy re: a future employment opportunity? Something, of course, that does not involve this cat being anywhere near the aviation business. REPORT by David Menzies:

Mehdi Hasan unmasked: this is how he sees non-Muslims as animals, as diseased and ignorant kafirs. A Muslim for whom the Quran as presented here serves as his lens on the world; and yet he lies and conceals this fact from us to advance the Quran's goal: our destruction. In these recordings he is caught saying his true thoughts about us without realizing it. 1. different from the rest of the non-Muslims, from the rest of those human beings who live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfill any desire. Once we do that, we are lost. In Islam, to believe is to know. To disbelieve is not to know. That is what it fundamentally comes down to. It is to remain ignorant, to cover up knowledge, after all, what is Kafir? Kafir comes from the root word, which means to cover up, to conceal. 2. The Kafir is the one who covers up that knowledge which is clear. The French orientalist scholar Lamendes, he once wrote that the Quran is not far from considering unbelief, disbelief as an infirmity, as an illness, as a disease of the human mind. SubhanAllah, non-Muslims point this out to us. 3. and of course the Kafir, the disbelievers, the atheists who remain deaf and blind to the teachings of Islam, the rational message of the Quran, they are described in the Quran as quote, a people of no intelligence, Allah said, not of no morality, not of no belief, a people of no intelligence. because they are incapable of the intellectual effort it requires to shake off those blind prejudices, to shake off those easy assumptions about this world, about the existence of God. In this respect, the Quran described the atheists as cattle, as cattle as those who go into graves and do not suffer wonder about this world. 4. All of these unanimously agree that at the very minimum, If Yazid was not a Kafir then at the very minimum, he was a Fasiq, a transgressor, a breaker of Islamic laws, a corrupt individual, a tyrant, a killer, a drunkard, a dog lover, a music lover, a homosexual, a paedophile a sexual deviant, someone who slept with his own mother. Quran 7:179 And surely, We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, and they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones. Islamic Art of War By: Ofer Binshtok Islam wages a continuous global war through various methods and with varying intensity against non-Muslims 24/7, as commanded by the Quran and Muhammad, a war that has persisted for approximately 1400 years and will continue indefinitely. In places where non-Muslims grow weary of conflict and seek peace, avoiding confrontation and attempting to appease Islam, believing they have achieved tranquility through signing agreements with Islam and even allowing its migration into their territories, during this time, Islam builds its strength and attacks them when it senses it has the upper hand, from within and from outside, in the most brutal way possible. This war strategy relies on the Islamic Art of War, based on the Quran and Muhammad's Sunnah. Quran 8:39 - The goal: a world containing only Muslims through war. Quran 98:6 - Demonization of non-Muslims. Quran 3:28 - Deceive non-Muslims. Quran 47:35 - Do not seek peace when you have the upper hand. In other words, attack. Quran 8:60 - During a hudna (ceasefire), Islam prepares for war. Quran 9:123 - Attack nearby non-Muslims. Quran 9:5 - Kill every non-Muslim in the world. In 622 AD, Muhammad migrated from Mecca to the settlement of Medina (Yathrib) in the Arabian Peninsula, where he was received as a refugee by the Jews who had established and controlled the prosperous region, granting him shelter. Within approximately eight years, after building his strength, Muhammad eliminated the presence of Jews and other non-Muslims in the area. In 628 AD, Muhammad signed a ten-year hudna (truce) agreement in Hudaibiya with the Quraysh tribe of Mecca, as his forces were weaker than theirs. In 630 AD, when his power was sufficiently strong, he violated the agreement with the Quraysh, attacked Mecca, conquered it with ease, and eradicated all other cultures present there. Muhammad's Sunnah, which is binding in Islam according to Quran 33:21, commands every Muslim to emulate all of Muhammadโ€™s words and deeds, which are considered sacred. A Muslim must be loyal only to the Islamic Ummah" By: Ofer Binshtok The identity of the Muslim is solely to be a part of the global Islamic Ummah, without any connection to a nation-state or to another culture that is not the Islamic Ummah. The idea of independent Islamic nation-states contradicts the Islamic idea as it is found in the Quran and Muhammad's Sunnah. A Muslim, wherever he is in the world, is part of the Islamic Ummah. A Ummah that should be ruled by a caliph through Sharia law. Islam is a global political-religious worldview of a world without borders. The existing Islamic nation-states are actually an act of heresy. A disbeliever who converts to Islam must completely break away from his former identity, become part of the Islamic Ummah, and serve its purposes personally. Every Muslim, wherever he is, is personally obligated to act so that the Islamic Ummah will be establishedโ€”that is to say, to collapse every nation-state that exists in the world so that the Islamic Ummah will replace it. The fact that the idea of Ummah is included in the central motif of the Quran is evidence of the vital significance of this concept. In Islamic terminology, the term "Ummah" refers to the religious community, also known as the Islamic holy community. This is the primary interpretation of the phrase found in the Quran. Quran 5.51: "O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliyรขโ€™ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Auliyรขโ€™ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Auliyรขโ€™), then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allรขh guides not those people who are the Zรขlimรปn (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust)." Quran 2.143 "Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful." Quran 3.104 "Let there be one nation of you, calling to good, and bidding to honour, and forbidding dishonour; those are the prosperers." Quran 3.110 "You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient." Quran 16.92 "And be not like her who undoes the thread which she has spun after it has become strong, by taking your oaths a means of deception among yourselves, lest a nation may be more numerous than another nation. Allah only tests you by this [i.e who obeys Allah and fulfills Allah's Covenant and who disobeys Allah and breaks Allah's Covenant]. And on the Day of Resurrection, He will certainly make clear to you that wherein you used to differ [i.e. a believer confesses and believes in the Oneness of Allah and in the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad SAW which the disbeliever denies it and that was their difference amongst them in the life of this world]." Tafsir Al-Qurtubi, volume 1, page 649: Muhammad said, "The earth was made a mosque for me." Sahih al-Bukhari, 3167: "The Prophet said, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle." Because Muhammad admitted to using terrorism, committing an act of terrorism is considered as a holy deed in Islam." (122) CHAPTER. The statement of the Prophet: I have been made victorious for a distance of one month journey with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy). The Statement of Allah: "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve...(V.3:151) Sahih Al-B ukhari\ translated by Muhammad Muhsin Khan.- Riyadh. Volume 4. (122) CHAPTER.

Sahih Al-B ukhari\ translated by Muhammad Muhsin Khan.- Riyadh. Volume 4. (122) CHAPTER. (56 - THE BOOK OF JIHAD) (Fighting for Allah's Cause) Page โ€“ 140. Quran 68.4 And indeed, you are (Muhammad) of a great moral character. Quran 33.21 "Indeed in the Messenger of Allรขh (Muhammad (ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู… you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allรขh and the Last Day, and remembers Allรขh much." "When a Muslim looks at a non-Muslim, the Quran creates a lens for him through which he sees and understands the non-Muslim, composed of these three verses (and there are many more):" 8:55, 98:6, and 9:28. Verses 8:55 and 98:6 portray non-Muslims as the worst creatures, even worse than cockroaches, bedbugs, and ticks. Verse 9:28 portrays non-Muslims as physically and spiritually filthy, akin to the filth of excrement. In summary: When a Muslim looks at a non-Muslim, he sees him through the lens of the Quran as the worst creatures, worse than cockroaches and ticks, and physically and spiritually filthy to the level of excrement. Quran 8.55 โ€œVerily, The worst of moving (living) creatures before Allรขh are those who disbelieve, - so they shall not believe.โ€ Quran 98.6: "Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islรขm, the Qurโ€™รขn and Prophet Muhammad ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikรปn will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures." Quran 9.28: โ€œO you who believe (in Allรขhโ€™s Oneness and in His Messenger Muhammad!) Verily, the Mushrikรปn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allรขh, and in the Message of Muhammad) are Najasun (impure). [1] So let them not come near Al-Masjidal-Harรขm (at Makkah) after this year; and if you fear poverty, Allรขh will enrich you if He wills, out of His Bounty. Surely, Allรขh is All-Knowing, All-Wise.โ€ (V.9:28) Their impurity is spiritual and physical: spiritual, because they donโ€™t believe in Allรขhโ€™s Oneness and in His Prophet Muhammad; and physical, because they lack personal hygiene (filthy as regards urine, stools and blood). And the word Najas is used only for those persons who have spiritual impurity e.g. Al-Mushrikรปn. Quran 9.14 "Fight against them so that Allรขh will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people." Quran 8.39: "...fight them until disbelief (non-Muslims) disappears and the whole Dean (way of life) is for Allah alone...(for Islam)โ€ Quran 9.5: โ€œ...kill the Mushrikun (non-Muslims) wherever you find themโ€ฆ" Al-Bukhari: "To wage war against Allah means to reject faith in Him." Quran 2.191: "The sin of disbelief in Allah is greater than committing murder." "The concept of Jihad as defined by Sharia law." By: Ofer binshtok. 09.0 JIHAD (0: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad, "We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad." The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as: (1) "Fighting is prescribed for you" (Koran 2:216); (2) "Slay them wherever you find them" (Koran 4:89); (3) "Fight the idolators utterly" (Koran 9:36); and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: "I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah"; and the hadith reported by Muslim, "To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it." Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally attended, some twenty seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight. himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.) THE OBLIGATORY CHARACTER OF JIHAD 09.1 Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others (0: the evidence for which is the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace), "He who provides the equipment for a soldier in jihad has himself performed jihad," and Allah Most High having said: "Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah's path with their property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to each. Allah has promised great good" (Koran 4:95). If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it. In the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims. The first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad (def: 09.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is speaking of when he says, "Jihad is a communal obligation," meaning upon the Muslims each year. The second state is when non-Muslims invade a Muslim country or near to one, in which case jihad is personally obligatory (def: c3.2) upon the inhabitants of that country, who must repel the non-Muslims with whatever they can). 09.2 jihad is personally obligatory upon all 'those present in the battle lines (A: and to flee is an enormity (dis: pH)) (0: provided one is able to fight. If unable, because of illness or the death of one's mount when not able to fight on foot, or because one no longer has a weapon, then one may leave. One may also leave if the opposing non-Muslim army is more than twice the size of the Muslim force). 09.3 Jihad is also (0: personally) obligatory for everyone (0: able to perform it, male or female, old or young) when the enemy has surrounded the Muslims (0: on every side, having entered our territory, even if the land consists of ruins, wilderness, or mountains, for non-Muslim forces entering Muslim lands is a weighty matter that cannot be ignored, but must be met with effort and struggle to repel them by every possible means. All of which is if conditions permit gathering (A: the above-mentioned) people, provisioning them, and readying them for war. If conditions do not permit this, as when the enemy has overrun the Muslims such that they are unable to provision or prepare themselves for war, then whoever is found by a non-Muslim and knows he will be killed if captured is obliged to defend himself in whatever way possible. But if not certain that he will be killed, meaning that he might or might not be, as when he might merely be taken captive, and he knows he will be killed if he does not surrender, then he may either surrender or fight. A woman too has a choice between fighting or surrendering if she is certain that she will not be subjected to lin indecent act if captured. If uncertain that she will be safe from such an act, she is obliged to fight, and surrender is not permissible). Source: Reliance of the Traveller - Revised Edition.

Quran 8.39: "...fight them until disbelief (non-Muslims) disappears and the whole Dean (way of life) is for Allah alone...(for Islam)โ€ Quran 9.5: โ€œ...kill the Mushrikun (non-Muslims) wherever you find themโ€ฆ" Al-Bukhari: "To wage war against Allah means to reject faith in Him." Quran 2.191: "The sin of disbelief in Allah is greater than committing murder." --- "The concept of Jihad as defined by Sharia law." By: Ofer binshtok. 09.0 JIHAD (0: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the lower self (nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad, "We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad." The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as: (1) "Fighting is prescribed for you" (Koran 2:216); (2) "Slay them wherever you find them" (Koran 4:89); (3) "Fight the idolators utterly" (Koran 9:36); and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: "I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah"; and the hadith reported by Muslim, "To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it." Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of the ones he personally attended, some twenty seven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of Uhud. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight. himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.) THE OBLIGATORY CHARACTER OF JIHAD 09.1 Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others (0: the evidence for which is the Prophet's saying (Allah bless him and give him peace), "He who provides the equipment for a soldier in jihad has himself performed jihad," and Allah Most High having said: "Those of the believers who are unhurt but sit behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah's path with their property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to each. Allah has promised great good" (Koran 4:95). If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it. In the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims. The first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad (def: 09.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is speaking of when he says, "Jihad is a communal obligation," meaning upon the Muslims each year. The second state is when non-Muslims invade a Muslim country or near to one, in which case jihad is personally obligatory (def: c3.2) upon the inhabitants of that country, who must repel the non-Muslims with whatever they can). 09.2 jihad is personally obligatory upon all 'those present in the battle lines (A: and to flee is an enormity (dis: pH)) (0: provided one is able to fight. If unable, because of illness or the death of one's mount when not able to fight on foot, or because one no longer has a weapon, then one may leave. One may also leave if the opposing non-Muslim army is more than twice the size of the Muslim force). 09.3 Jihad is also (0: personally) obligatory for everyone (0: able to perform it, male or female, old or young) when the enemy has surrounded the Muslims (0: on every side, having entered our territory, even if the land consists of ruins, wilderness, or mountains, for non-Muslim forces entering Muslim lands is a weighty matter that cannot be ignored, but must be met with effort and struggle to repel them by every possible means. All of which is if conditions permit gathering (A: the above-mentioned) people, provisioning them, and readying them for war. If conditions do not permit this, as when the enemy has overrun the Muslims such that they are unable to provision or prepare themselves for war, then whoever is found by a non-Muslim and knows he will be killed if captured is obliged to defend himself in whatever way possible. But if not certain that he will be killed, meaning that he might or might not be, as when he might merely be taken captive, and he knows he will be killed if he does not surrender, then he may either surrender or fight. A woman too has a choice between fighting or surrendering if she is certain that she will not be subjected to lin indecent act if captured. If uncertain that she will be safe from such an act, she is obliged to fight, and surrender is not permissible). Source: Reliance of the Traveller - Revised Edition.

Analyzing Episode 60. Season 2 aka Motherhood Deconstructed I want to start this analysis with a disclaimer that I'll be writing about that kiss separately, because really, it deserves a post of its own. I'll talk about it here briefly, but this analysis will stick to the overall events of ep 60. To me, the main theme of this episode was motherhood. Be it Alya, Nare, Zerrin, Sadakat, and yes, even the dishrag. We see how these different women strive, suffer, and never stop trying to keep their children with them, all except one. So, let's begin. We start episode 60 with Alya and Cihan awaiting to conduct a DNA test on baby Simal, whom Kaya insists is his child. Long story short, Kaya is feeling a little pissed about Zerrin keeping the truth of Simal from him, and he has a point. But then, it's not like Zerrin has had a jolly good time pretending to play house with a creep like Demir. The only reason she relents is to keep her baby safe. So, it's a catch-22 situation, where both sides are right and wrong. But, it's not like we don't know these two will make up soon. What stood out to me in that sequence was Alya taking charge of ensuring Zerrin has access to her baby. She knows exactly what it is to be separated from one's child, and she's kind and brave enough to refuse to let anyone suffer through the same. So, in a way, Alya's motherhood doesn't just extend to Deniz. It encompasses her to the point where she shields all those she feels need protection. I also like the fact that she's taken Zerrin under her wing, because when the latter moves into the konak with Sadakat, she'll need all the help she can get. The next sequence begins at the hospital, where Nare is still hell-bent on continuing with the pregnancy, though at great risk to her life. This is another glimpse of motherhood the show gives us - in the shape of a woman who is so in love with her unborn child already, she's willing to risk death to bring it into the world. Contrasted to that is Sadakat, who's willing to lie or cheat to keep her daughter alive. Here is a ruthless kind of motherhood. Sadakat's love (if you can call it that) has always been wrapped in control, manipulation, and fear. But, still at the center of all her ugliness is a woman who doesn't want to lose her children. Nare is willing to die for her child, Sadakat is willing to kill Nare's child to ensure she lives - quite the compelling contrast. Different forms of motherhood, but both rooted in desperation. In the middle of all that, Meryem pops up like a bad penny. But even as she arrives in that room and Sadakat wants to keep her there, the awkward silence that envelops the space as she lingers is telling. She doesn't belong, it seems to say. But, there's another person who's starting to question their 'belonging' in this new version of the past that's come back - and of course, that's Alya. The more she sees Meryem infiltrate parts of her life beyond the konak, the more her exposed nerves are rubbed raw. This woman is so close to complete and utter exhaustion, it's heartbreaking. What's even more heartbreaking is that while she tries to be there for everyone, she herself cuts everyone off when she feels troubled. And that, to me, is where the episode quietly portrays the emotional labor aspect of being a mom. Alya mothers everyone around her. Nare, Zerrin, Kaya, and Deniz. Even Cihan at times. She absorbs pain, tries to stem chaos, protects others from falling apart, yet when it comes to her own fears and insecurities, she retreats inward completely. It's almost as if she believes she only deserves to be the shelter, never the one allowed to seek sanctuary. Because children who grow up thinking they've been abandoned grow up thinking love is a thing to be earned through caring or usefulness. So, instead of asking for comfort, they always end up providing it. But humans, even the strongest of the strong, have their limits. And, it's so clear that Alya is close to reaching hers. So, when Cihan is forced to relent and allow Mujgan and her son to the konak because Deniz wants it, Alya does what she does best - she withdraws and leaves the source of discomfort. That's why she tells Cihan she hates going to the konak now because every time she goes there, the spectre of Meryem and what she can snatch away becomes unavoidable. And, as blind as Cihan can be at times, he picks up on that. He knows exactly what she's trying to do, which is why he tries to redirect her attention to the fact that he hates going to the konak without Alya around, too. He wants to be wherever Alya is. In his own way, he's trying to tell her it doesn't matter who stays at that house; it's only home to Cihan when Alya is around. His words reach Alya, which is why she relents and visits the konak for a few hours, but then shit hits the fan again. We'll get to that, but first, let's talk about Meryem. Meryem's scene in the hospital with Mujgan reveals Meryem saying she can't tell Cihan about Serhat because she's not sure who the father is, and that she'd rather live in the hope that Serhat is the son of the man she loves, bla blah. Now, go back and think of all the versions of motherhood we've seen in this series, and indeed this episode. They all have one thing in common - that all the mothers did whatever they had to, and bore whatever came their way to ensure their babies stayed with them. No matter how much Alya, Zerrin, or Nare love their better halves, when push came to shove, they put their children first. Even Sadakat married Azem for Boran. All except one. Meryem. Meryem sent her son away and made it look like he was Mujgan's child, thereby erasing all his links to her. One could argue it was because she feared Feyyaz. But what's stopping her now? Let's assume what Meryem says is right and there's a 50 percent chance Serhat is Cihan's son. For a mother desperate to save her child from danger, those are pretty good odds, so why avoid the DNA test? Suppose Serhat turns out to be Feyyaz's son; even so, if she comes clean with Cihan, she knows he's the kind to help her, even if just to keep an innocent child safe. So, her version of motherhood sticks out like a sore thumb in the episode. In contrast, I found Alya's line, 'When it comes to my son, I put him before everything and everyone else,' much more fitting with the theme. Mothers on the defensive, who feel there's a threat to their child's wellbeing, will relent to even the most extreme measure - even if it tears their own being apart. Alya hates being away from Cihan. She hates that distance she imposes between them as much as Cihan, but she can't help it. Because the mother in her won't let her choose anything else. Which is why I say Serhat is almost like an afterthought to Meryem because his needs are never the focus. And I get the feeling that whatever Meryem is trying to hide threatens not her son, but likely the version of herself she's presented to the world. Even when I rewatched the kite flying scene, the way the camera pans into Serhat only once, but mostly focuses on Cihan and Alya after showing us Meryem is telling. Like this is a woman not going through hell because of her child, but because she's looking at a structure of acceptance she's no longer able to enter. Life at the konak, Cihan's family unit, his love for Alya and Deniz - it's everything that could have been hers once, but no longer. No matter how she tries, she no longer fits. And honestly, thatโ€™s why that sense of not belonging is even more overt in an episode about motherhood. Every other mother in this episode becomes messy because of love for their child. Nare breaks down. Zerrin panics. Sadakat manipulates openly. Alya practically emotionally disintegrates trying to hold everything together. Their feelings spill all over the place because motherhood, especially threatened motherhood, breaks people down. But Meryem remains oddly stoic throughout it all, except for a few tears. She's mostly careful and controlled, and always aware of who's watching her. Going back to the point of shit hitting the fan, when Alya discovers Meryem and Mujgan in Cihan's room, she doesn't buy Meryem's story for a bit. When Cihan tries to calm the situation, she dismantles the sorry excuse Meryem gives with two questions. In other words, her spidey senses pick up trouble, but she keeps it locked in because she doesn't want to appear as the jealous, unreasonable wife. But things come to a head anyway when Feyyaz cuts Cihan and Alya off on the road. Cihan seems to finally realize exactly the kind of trouble Meryem has unleashed in their lives when Feyyaz keeps eyeing Alya. Because to Feyyaz's psychotic mind, Cihan is keeping Meryem away from him, which makes Alya fair game. But when Cihan insists Alya return to the konak, Alya flat out refuses, and all the pressure that's been building inside her gets directed at Cihan. She knows deep down he's not at fault, but the fact that he's jumped into another situation without thinking of the danger, grates on her nerves. Which is why her default setting kicks in; she demands that Cihan bring Deniz to her and leave the apartment. Cihan, who is already reeling from Alya pulling back from him and the reality of Feyyaz targeting the only thing he truly holds dear, is desperate to stop Alya's isolation before she decides he's not worth all the misery she's suffering, and does what's worked for him once before in a desperate situation (the airport, anyone?). He forgets everything, pulls Alya in, and kisses the breath out of her. And, it works too, because for that moment, Alya stops spiraling long enough to simply feel. To stop calculating danger or bracing for abandonment. She feels loved and safe in Cihan's arms again. That's what makes that kiss so powerful. It isn't just the passion. It's the desperation behind it, on both sides. Cihan isn't kissing Alya because he wants to win an argument. He's kissing her because he's terrified, and he misses her. He's worried that if she keeps retreating inward, one day she'll retreat so far he won't be able to reach her anymore. Worried that all the fear, exhaustion, and pressure she's carrying will eventually make her decide loving him isn't worth the cost. And Alya responds because beneath all her anger, fear, and exhaustion, she loves him just as desperately. That's the irony of CihAl this season. They're not going to pieces because the love is weakening. They're going to pieces because the love has become so enormous that losing it feels catastrophic to both of them. To conclude, everything within ep 60, including the kiss, works so beautifully because technically everyone is unraveling. Every woman in this episode is fighting to protect something she loves, but the ways they do so reveal who they are at their core. Alya protects by sacrificing parts of herself. Nare protects by risking herself. Sadakat protects by controlling others. Zerrin protects by enduring humiliation. And Meryem... Meryem protects the narratives she builds. Her emotions, while visible, don't land with impact, almost as if they're missing a core ingredient. On the opposite end of the spectrum lie CihAl, whose love strips them bare, only for them to realize that retreat is no option. The only way forward for them is through - through fear, through exhaustion, through jealousy, through danger, and through every ugly and painful thing that loving someone this deeply awakens inside them. Because CihAl are incapable of loving each other halfway. Their love keeps dragging every hidden wound, every insecurity, every instinct to the surface until there is nowhere left to hide. And maybe thatโ€™s the real contrast episode 60 quietly builds toward: one side clinging to carefully maintained facades, the other being emotionally dismantled by a love too raw and overwhelming to remain controlled. Till later, happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #Uzakลžehir
