"We know there are congregations and Rabbis who are moving towards speaking out and it's really important for us to work with these institutions to make more space.

But what we're thinking about at the Jewish Council is how do we build our own institutions."

This is a since-deleted LinkedIn post from the marketing agency that created the since-deleted AI-generated McDonalds Christmas ad, and all I can think of is how the energy consumption must've been about on par with a small suburb or heavy industrial load to produce 30 seconds of slop everyone hated
Gardening.club 556 followers 1w Our team at The Gardening.Club have been pouring in the hours to achieve something that we finally feel ready to put our name to, and while Al film might be dividing opinions, we want to open the process up and reveal just how much human expertise and craft went into this campaign. There's this idea floating around that Al will do all the work for us. Let's set the record straight: the man-hours poured into this film were more than a traditional Production. Yes, this ad is 100% Al. But it was built with the same care that we bring to any live-action film. The brief was tightly prescribed, with a clear mandate for every single scene, so complete control of each shot was essential and pulled off by our team using proprietary workflows, and pulled off spectacularly well, this was not a prompt-and-pray process. Just like a traditional shoot, the film needed a director, real storytelling instincts, and intentional casting, we selected and shaped each Al performer, their look, energy, and emotional presence, to meet the brief just as we would in live action film. It required virtual location scouting, solid references, screen tests, and a countless amount of takes to maintain true cinematic continuity. Our in-house Gardening.club Al and Post team, spent seven intense weeks refining every single frame. They rebuilt shots, debated composition, shaped shadows, and tuned emotional microbeats with precision all overseen by Sweetshop director duo MΑΜΑ. Many scenes had ten or more specialists, with each shot running through a tightly engineered pipeline, Google Earth base plates, style-transfer passes, pixel-level refinements, custom LoRAs, control nets, and bespoke ComfyUl workflows. We composited, fixed physics, balanced lighting, and cleaned artifacts in Flame. New tools, same goal: a film that feels real. Of course, we came across roadblocks. There were many times we were challenged, but the team was able to problem-solve on the spot. This project demanded a team willing to push further than the tech was ready to go. But that's exactly why it works. So no Al didn't make this film. We did.

This is a MASSIVE story. Our universities have been sabotaged by right wing neoconservative ideologues.

It’s time to value AND FUND education from birth to death… life long learning.

There’s plenty of money. It’s just being spent in the wrong areas. Like AUKUS.

🇻🇪 Venezuela’s Foreign Ministry condemned what it calls a “brazen robbery and act of international piracy” after the U.S. president publicly acknowledged the seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker in the Caribbean. Caracas says the move is part of a long-running U.S. plan to plunder Venezuela’s energy resources, comparing it to the loss of Citgo, which it argues was taken through “fraudulent judicial mechanisms.” The statement says Washington’s aggression has “never been about migration, drugs, democracy, or human rights,” but about Venezuela’s oil. It claims the U.S. tanker seizure also aims to distract from the “failure” of opposition efforts backed by Western governments at talks in Oslo. Venezuela urges its public to remain firm in defense of national sovereignty and calls on the international community to reject what it describes as illegal, normalized acts of coercion. The government says it will take the case to international bodies and will not allow any foreign power to seize resources that “belong exclusively to the Venezuelan people.” Likewise, we denounce that this act of piracy seeks to distract attention and cover up the resounding failure of the political show staged today in Oslo, where the manipulations and lack of results of those who have attempted for years, without any success, a "regime change" operation through violence and in open complicity with Western governments, were once again exposed. Venezuela calls on all Venezuelan people to remain firm in defense of the homeland, and urges the international community to reject this vandalistic, illegal, and unprecedented aggression that is being normalized as a tool of pressure and plunder. The Bolivarian Government reaffirms that it will go before all existing international bodies to denounce this grave international crime, and will defend with absolute determination its sovereignty, its natural resources, and its national dignity. Venezuela will not allow any foreign power to attempt to seize from the Venezuelan people what belongs to them by historical and constitutional right."

🇸🇦🇵🇸 Drop Site News listened closely as the foreign ministers of Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, Norway, Spain, the EU, and Saudi Arabia laid out their positions on the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire at the Doha Forum. One thing that stood out: the only official pushing a hard line on urgent disarmament of the Palestinian resistance was the representative from the Saudi Foreign Ministry. That official, Dr. Manal Radwan, a Minister Plenipotentiary, warned there must be no “redefining” of what disarmament means under the UN Security Council–backed plan and dismissed debates over logistics, what she called the “who, what, when.” Her position directly clashed with Norway and Turkey, both of whom warned that forced disarmament up front is fundamentally unrealistic. Norway’s foreign minister said it is “very unlikely” there would ever be consensus for an international force to physically disarm Hamas against its will, stressing that any weapons process must be Palestinian-led and politically sequenced. He warned that if the “who, what, when” is not settled quickly — with governance institutions and a monitoring force put in place first — the ceasefire will collapse back into war and “total anarchy.” Turkey’s foreign minister was even more blunt: “We should not expect from the ISF work that has not been completed by the Israeli security forces.” He explicitly dismissed disarmament as the ISF’s first task, saying decommissioning of arms can realistically only occur after ISF establishes a security presence between the two forces, governance structures are restored in Gaza, aid begins to flow unrestricted, and there is some normalization of civilian life inside Gaza.

🔴 Mass rapes reported in northern Sudan Sudan Doctors Network says it has documented 19 new cases of rape committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) at Al-Afad displacement camp in Al-Dabba, including two pregnant women now receiving medical care. The network says the women were attacked while fleeing El-Fasher, describing the assaults as part of RSF’s systematic weaponization of sexual violence and a grave violation of international law. Doctors are urging the United Nations to deploy independent investigators, protect women and children along displacement routes, and ضغط RSF leaders to immediately halt the assaults and secure safe corridors for civilians. Map: Brittanica Sudan Doctors Network: We have documented 19 cases of rape committed by the Rapid Support Forces, including two pregnant women, at Al-Afad Camp in Al-Dabba The Sudan Doctors Network team at Al-Afad Camp in Al-Dabba has documented the rape of 19 women while they were fleeing from the city of El-Fasher to the city of Al-Dabba in Northern State, at the hands of individuals belonging to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Information indicates that two of the survivors are pregnant and are currently receiving special healthcare under the supervision of local medical teams. The Sudan Doctors Network strongly condemns the gang rape being perpetrated by the RSF against women escaping the horrors of El-Fasher, affirming that it constitutes a direct targeting of women in a blatant violation of all international laws that criminalize the use of women’s bodies as a weapon of oppression. The network believes that the continuation of such crimes reflects a dangerous escalation in attacks against the most vulnerable groups, and stresses that the silence of the international community regarding these heinous practices encourages their repetition and aggravates their consequences. The Network calls on the international community, the United Nations, and relevant human rights mechanisms to provide effective protection for women and children along displacement and transit routes, to send independent investigative teams to ascertain the facts, and to ensure safe access for humanitarian aid and medical personnel. The Network also urges serious pressure on RSF leaders to immediately stop these assaults, respect international humanitarian law, and secure safe corridors for women and children. #Sudan_Doctors_Network

Palestine and Syria traded jerseys and embraced after a 0–0 draw sent both sides into the quarterfinals of the FIFA Arab Cup. After five previous Arab Cup appearances, this marks the first time the Palestine national football team has ever advanced beyond the group stage. That breakthrough was set up earlier in the tournament with a dramatic 2–2 comeback against the Tunisia national football team. Palestine trailed 2–0, pulled one back in the 61st minute, then equalized in the 85th minute through Zaid Qunbar. That late goal (video), combined with today’s draw, sent Palestine into the knockouts.

Straight up 🔥
In its bid to become the "natural party of government" (whatever that actually means), Labor has filled the policy arena usually taken up by Liberal Party thought bubbles. Recent examples include, but not limited to - what if we revolutionised work and society with new technology but didn't regulate it? What if we had environment laws that made it easier to approve mining projects? What if we had donation reform that locked out independents and minor parties from election funding? What if we gave billions and billions for an insecure, no-guarantees defence deal but paid for it by shredding the social contract and cutting NDIS funding? Labor has the space to do what it wants - and what it wants, apparently, is to be the Liberal Party of the 1990s.

The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.

Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.

Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.
