⚡ Oceanic plate between Arabian and Eurasian continental plates is breaking away
An international research team led by the University of Göttingen has investigated the influence of the forces exerted by the Zagros Mountains in the Kurdistan region of Iraq on how much the surface of the Earth has bent over the last 20 million years. Their research revealed that in the present day, deep below the Earth's surface, the Neotethys oceanic plate - the ocean floor that used to be between the Arabian and Eurasian continents - is breaking off horizontally, with a tear progressively lengthening from southeast Turkey to northwest Iran. Their findings show how the evolution of the Earth's surface is controlled by processes deep within the planet's interior. The research was published in the journal Solid Earth. When two continents converge over millions of years, the oceanic floor between them slides to great depths beneath the continents. Eventually, the continents collide, and masses of rock from their edges are lifted up into towering mountain ranges. Over millions of...

⚔️ How Israel uses an AI genocide program to obliterate Gaza
According to whistleblowers: Israel's AI system is generating targets so fast, based on inputs so broad, that everyone in Gaza is in the crosshairs... It should already have been evident from the scale of death and destruction inflicted on Gaza over the past eight weeks that Israel was implementing a policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide against Palestinians in the besieged enclave. Now Israeli whistleblowers have provided details of how these crimes against humanity are being carried out - and how they are being rationalised internally within Israel's military and political echelons. An extraordinary series of testimonies jointly published by the Israel-based publications 972 and Local Call last week established that the huge death toll of Palestinian civilians is, in fact, integral to Israel's war aims, not an unfortunate side effect. The known dead so far are estimated at almost 16,000, with a further 6,000 missing, presumably crushed under rubble. Two-thirds of those killed...

⚔️ Jordan, Egypt reject US plan to resettle Gazans as Trump doubles down
After last Saturday President Trump floated a plan to 'clean out' Gaza by conducting a mass resettlement of Palestinians in neighboring countries, namely Egypt and Jordan, he's now doubling down on the idea. Egypt and Jordan are not happy, but are also feeling the pressure as a result, and it must be remembered that both are recipients of huge amounts of foreign aid each year - with Egypt receiving billions. Israeli media underscores there's been wall-to-wall firm opposition by Arab leaders: "US President Donald Trump dug in his heels Monday over a controversial suggestion that large numbers of Gazans take refuge in Egypt and Jordan, shrugging off wall-to-wall opposition to the proposal from Arab leaders. "Fresh off what he said were calls with Egyptian counterpart Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi and Jordan's King Abdullah, Trump insisted both leaders would take in Palestinians from the war-ravaged territory and said the issue would be discussed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the...

The digital coin has seen a surge in its value in recent months. In 2024, its price jumped 121%, reaching the peak of $108,135 in December. On Monday, following the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, Bitcoin hit a record $109,225. Trump had previously announced plans to make the US the world's "crypto capital" and to set up a national Bitcoin reserve. Fink told an audience at a panel in Davos on Wednesday that he is "a big believer" in the world's largest cryptocurrency as an instrument, highlighting its potential as a financial hedge.

If you think Canada has such a great nationalized health care system, you need to reconsider.

However, that number is incomplete, as several governments provide either partial data, or simply do not track the problem. SecondStreet.org collected the data by filing Freedom of Information (FOI) requests across Canada. When the data collected is extrapolated across jurisdictions which did not provide data, the number actually nearly doubles, to around 28,077. These figures cover everything from cancer treatment and heart operations to cataract surgery and MRI scans.

Just 43 of the roughly 8,000 removed returned to their service branch after the Biden administration scuppered the mandate, according to the White House.

The menu, apart from a meze feast, is simple: only two broad questions about Sultan Erdogan's approach to BRICS and to Syria. Here's a concise synopsis of our dinner - more relevant than a torrent of Western-manufactured word salads. Enjoy it with a hefty dose of the best arak. And let the table have the first - and last - word. On BRICS: "Türkiye feels itself as part of the West. If we look at our political party leaderships and Turkish elites, right-wing or left-wing, there's no difference. Maybe a little bit part of the East... Ankara is using its membership in BRICS as a bargaining chip against the West." Türkiye simultaneously could be a member of BRICS and NATO? "Erdogan has no clear future plans.

🚨 Newly discovered asteroid has slight chance of Earth impact in 2032
The discovery marks only the second time that an asteroid's impact risk has reached greater than a 1% chance. Astronomers — professional and amateur alike — have turned their attention to an asteroid with a slight chance of impacting Earth in 2032, based on current observations. While the possibility is slim, and more observations are needed, the object itself might be large enough to devastate a city, motivating follow-up observations as well as archival searches for pre-discovery observations. The asteroid, designated 2024 YR4, was first noticed on December 27, 2024, by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS); searches quickly revealed that ATLAS had already imaged it two days earlier. Then, as observations accumulated, astronomers could roughly determine its orbit. That's when the realization dawned: The object has some chance of striking Earth. On Monday, January 27th, NASA's Sentry impact-tracking system officially raised the asteroid to a level 3 on the...

"[The park] had an especially dry year with very little rain in the last six months, so snow is a welcome sight in the park, and is a good indicator for Joshua Tree blooms and wildflowers in the spring time.

The "golden age" of America now comes with a golden parachute. The White House is offering buyouts to federal workers who don't want to return to the office pursuant to President Trump's orders, The Post has confirmed. The offer, contained in an email sent Tuesday, could significantly pare down the federal workforce as Trump terminates COVID-19-era policies that let many workers to do their jobs remotely. "This email is being sent to more than TWO MILLION federal employees," Katie Miller, who serves on an advisory board to the Department of Government Efficiency, wrote on X. The offers come on the heels of Trump's freeze on federal aid and attempt to pause disbursement of grant money, which was held up Tuesday evening by a federal judge. White House aides expect between 5% and 10% of federal workers to take the deal — which is projected to save taxpayers $100 billion a year, according to Axios, which first reported on the plan.
