By walling off tech tiers like a VIP nightclub, the US guarantees Chinese firms become the default ‘open bar’ for 85% of the planet. Once Huawei’s is part of the grid or Moore Threads chips are in the servers, good luck evicting them.
Meanwhile, #US firms are stuck redesigning chips to fit arbitrary rules, watching #China eat their lunch. In the quest to ‘contain’ Beijing, the US just outsourced the future to them. It's like watching a self fulfilling prophecy unfold.

“Where is humanity? Where is leadership? Is this a post-shame world, and how do we not slip into anger and rage that cannot be channelled?”
“We can ask these questions, but we know the answers. #Israel has been clear in what it’s doing, and this is being documented in real time by medical workers, by journalists.”
“It has been repeated by the Israeli leadership itself so many times: to use starvation, to make Gaza unliveable, to ethnically cleanse Gaza.”
Daniel Levy
In yet another harrowing scene from Gaza, Israeli occupation forces bombed tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, and Beit Lahia.
The attack left scores of martyrs and wounded, including children, whose cries sent chills down people's spines as they were rushed to hospitals.

The war in the Gaza Strip has reached one of its darkest periods, as Israel’s blockade of all food and supplies enters its 12th week and the military wages another major offensive against Hamas.
Hundreds have been killed in recent days, experts have warned of a looming famine and doctors say overwhelmed hospitals are running out of medicine to treat even routine conditions.

Joint Statement on Palestine
"We will not be silent in front of the man-made humanitarian catastrophe that is taking place before our eyes in Gaza. More than 50.000 men, women, and children have lost their lives. Many more could starve to death in the coming days and weeks unless immediate action is taken.
We call upon the government of Israel to immediately reverse its current policy, refrain from further military operations and fully lift the blockade, ensuring safe, rapid and unimpeded humanitarian aid to be distributed throughout the Gaza strip by international humanitarian actors and according to humanitarian principles. United Nations and humanitarian organizations, including UNRWA, must be supported and granted safe and unimpeded access.
We call upon all parties to immediately engage with renewed urgency and good faith in negotiations on a ceasefire and the release of all hostages, and acknowledge the important role played by the United States, Egypt and Qatar in this regard.
This is the basis upon which we can build a sustainable, just and comprehensive peace, based on the implementation of the two-State solution. We will continue to support the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, and work in the framework of the United Nations and with other actors, like the Arab League and Arab and Islamic States, to move forward to achieve a peaceful and sustainable solution. Only peace can bring security for Palestinians, Israelis and the region, and only respect for international law can secure lasting peace.
We also condemn the further escalation in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, with increased settler violence, the expansion of illegal settlements and intensified Israel military operations. Forced displacement or the expulsion of the Palestinian people, by any means, is unacceptable and would constitute a breach of international law. We reject any such plans or attempts at demographic change.
We must assume the responsibility to stop this devastation."

🇷🇺 Russia’s playing the intimidation game again — planning a “training-combat” launch of a Yars ICBM on the night of May 19, according to Ukraine’s intel.
The move is aimed at pressuring Ukraine, the EU, and NATO. The missile, with a mock warhead, will be launched from Sverdlovsk region and can fly over 10,000 km.

Ever-tightening restrictions are boosting Chinese firms.Ray Wang (Foreign Policy)
While I don't broadly care about how my #photography posts do, I do find it striking how little *my* personal take on how good a photo is has to do with how well it performs on social media relative to my other works.
It's like, "am I this out of step with what 'most' people like?"
Some of my 'best' work (in my opinion) does abysmally, while a shot I have flagged as 3* in my catalog gets Explored on Flickr. Some of it I'm sure is algorithmic fortune, but it does get me thinking sometimes.

While children in Gaza have shown enormous strength throughout the horrors of the war, the pain they endure, including from hunger, has become overwhelming, says Afeef Nessouli, a volunteer with medical group Glia International who often visits the Strip’s orphanages.
“They are suffering in a way they don’t understand and maybe have never had a full explanation as to why they are living in such an unfair, unjust manner.”
