This is what Trump does when someone faints. Can you imagine what he would do if the US were attacked?

My grief is less due to his skill than to how decent, funny and insightful a human being he was. For all the darkness in the world, he was a flicker of light. He will remain so, in my heart and mind, as long as I live.

[Context and tribute in Alt Txt]
![Daniel Naroditsky (November 9, 1995 – October 19, 2025), often referred to as Danya, was an American chess grandmaster, author, and commentator. He won the Under-12 section of the World Youth Chess Championship in 2007 and the US Junior Championship in 2013, the same year he was officially awarded the grandmaster title at age 18.
While Naroditsky was consistently in the top 200 of FIDE's world rankings for classical chess, he was an absolute beast in faster time formats such as blitz chess, where he was consistently ranked top 25 in the world.
Naroditsky also made engaging educational and often hilarious chess content on YouTube and Twitch, published two chess books, and wrote columns for Chess Life and The New York Times.
He played on Chess.com under the handle DanielNaroditsky, and on Lichess.org under the handle RebeccaHarris. As to why he chose the latter, "I have to point out that I spent all of five seconds creating that account name because I didn't know that it would become big and Rebecca Harris is just a character in a TV show called Limitless that's a spin-off off of a movie that I liked and Rebecca Harris may or may not have been played by an actress [Jennifer Carpenter] who, in my early high school days, well… I'll trail off there… let's just say she made an impression on me".

Danya was as quick witted as he was bullet-fast at playing high-speed chess. And his generosity, humility and kindness were unmatched in the chess world. He will be dearly missed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:z7fq5sb3thfww72ndrnpuivv/bafkreidbnstkwljgio6vs7eae7mbhp2n6edan5wrfyoskzpox2rrgg3llu@jpeg)

Prospectus proposes forced displacement of entire population and puts territory into US trusteeship
A plan circulating in the White House to develop the “Gaza Riviera” as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an “insane” attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population.
The Washington Post published on Sunday a leaked prospectus for the plan, which would see the forced displacement of Gaza’s entire population of 2 million people, and put the territory into a US trusteeship for at least a decade. Continue reading...

The President (79) fawning over Sydney Sweeney (27) is probably not the best way to distract us from the fact that he just gave Ghislaine Maxwell (convicted sex trafficker and pedophile rapist) a quid pro quo because she’s got all the dirt about him and knows he’s all over the Epstein files.

Israel’s blockade of most food and aid, along with distribution difficulties inside the Gaza Strip, have driven many of Gaza’s 2 million Palestinians to the brink of starvation.
