This is a photo of the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, giving a big hug to the former Vice President of ISIS in Iraq and current President of al Qaeda in Syria. His name is Ahmed al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani.
The West got its regime change when Bashar Al-Assad fled to Russia but now Syria is run by al Qaeda and we all have to pretend that was the plan all along.
Macron welcomed the Syrian leader to the Élysée Palace and became the first Western country to host him. Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa promised to protect all Syrians but he has not been able to do that since taking office. In March, more than 1,700 members of ethnic minorities and Christians were killed.
But President Macron asked nicely for him to stop this. He says that if al-Sharaa can stop the Islamic violence, he can work on lifting those sanctions that the West placed under the Al-Assad administration.
You don’t “Google it” anymore. You ask an AI program.
Google is quickly becoming uncool and outdated and the stock market knows it. Shares of Google fell by 9% on Wednesday after Apple announced that it is planning to integrate AI-powered search options to its Safari browser.
Already Google search engagement is down and so is market share. Could AI programs replace Google in the not-too-distant future? The only thing I use it for these days is Maps.

New Study Tanks “Gender-Affirming Care”
A new report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services shows that sex changes for young people have not been proven to be “beneficial.”
This is often called “gender-affirming” care but it’s not. It’s a sex change.
Anyone who has studied this knows that. Children who go through gender transition do not report to be happier and have higher suicide rates than children who don’t. The report is also one of the first times that the U.S. government has admitted that “gender-affirming care” carries risk of “significant harms including infertility/sterility, sexual dysfunction, impaired bone density accrual, adverse cognitive impacts, cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders, psychiatric disorders, surgical complications, and regret.”
The report is a review of the current literature around sex changes for minors and concludes that more research is clearly needed and that gender transition is a dangerous thing to do. Duh.
And yet…if your child finds their way to Character.AI, they can chat with a transitioned version of themselves. Researcher Eliza Mondegreen chatted with it as a 16 year-old girl and found all sorts of shocking things that AI could be telling your child too! It said that breast removal was easy and great and that there is almost no risk of regret! None of those things are true!
A new viral trend online is disputing who would win in a fight: 100 British people versus 100 Americans.
The rules are that no weapons could be involved. It’s imaginary mano a mano.
Now that’s cute. Everyone knows that this was settled in 1776 and if it came to it again, it would end the very same way.
Come on now, Limeys. The U.K. government has succeeded in emasculating most of its men. The last burly man I saw in the U.K. was in a sequined dress in a ladies toilet. Plus, a cup of tea isn’t going to fuel you for a fight against coffee drinkers. Wisely do not forget yourselves here.
I jest of course but if the fight were me versus Keira Knightley, I’m liking my odds!
