Not true as you can see Guatemala posted a statement x.com/guatemalagob/status/20….

🇺🇸🇬🇹🇲🇽 Guatemala just gave the go-ahead for joint U.S. airstrikes against narco-terrorists. This comes after Ecuador agreed to the same last week, with Honduras next on the list. The White House is deliberately building a ring of U.S. military presence around Mexico, after President Sheinbaum rejected joint operations. Why is she so against going after the cartels?

Everyone talks about how @pmarca turned A16Z into a media company that monetizes off Venture capital. But the real OG in that game has always been @msuster from UpFront ventures, he’s been doing it since he launched Both Sides of the table.

Religion or manipulation? This Netflix doc exposes how blind faith can turn into something far darker than people want to admit. ‘Trust Me: The False Prophet’ isn’t just about a cult… it’s about how easy it is to control people when they stop questioning. History has already shown us this pattern over and over again. Different names. Different beliefs. Different leaders. But when you strip it down, the blueprint is almost identical. Look at groups like the Peoples Temple, Heaven’s Gate, or NXIVM they didn’t start with chaos. They started with promise. With purpose. With someone claiming to have answers others couldn’t see.

What just happened as of now... • The U.S. (under Trump) and Iran agreed to a 2-week ceasefire.  • It was reached hours before a planned major U.S. attack deadline.  • The deal was mediated by Pakistan and includes cooperation from Israel.  Key conditions of the ceasefire • Iran must reopen the Strait of Hormuz (critical for global oil supply).  • Iran agreed to pause attacks and allow safe passage for ships.  • The U.S. and allies agreed to halt strikes during this period.  Important nuance (this is critical) • This is not the end of the war — just a pause.  • Fighting and tensions haven’t fully stopped everywhere yet.  • The goal is to buy time for negotiations on a longer-term dea

Iranian officials today rejected the latest ceasefire proposal, signaling the war will continue as tensions escalate across the region. The decision comes just one day before Donald Trump’s deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz—or face what he described as “hell,” including potential strikes on critical infrastructure.  Iran has dismissed the ultimatum, calling it unrealistic while demanding a permanent resolution that includes sanctions relief and long-term security guarantees.  With both sides refusing to back down, the conflict is now entering a more dangerous phase—one that could further destabilize global energy markets and pull more countries into the crisis.

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

He didn’t report her to be an *sshole he did it to save her from getting disqualified. Phones aren’t allowed. He happily posed for the selfie.
Lady took a selfie with Magnus Carlsen before the match began. In response, Magnus Carlsen reported his opponent to the referee, leading to her phone being confiscated 😭
Community note
FIDE Laws of Chess (Article 11.3.2) ban electronic devices like phones from playing venues to prevent cheating. Carlsen alerted the arbiter post-selfie to enforce this, protecting Nurman from disqualification. handbook.fide.com/chapter/E012018 news18.com/sports/chess/s… si.com/media/magnus-c…

According to reporting from The New York Times, the U.S. military suffered a significant setback on Friday as an F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down by Iranian forces over southwestern Iran, marking the first loss of an American fighter jet to enemy fire in the conflict. The incident comes despite repeated assertions from the Trump administration that U.S. air superiority had been established. Iranian state media released images purportedly showing the wreckage, which analysts say are consistent with the aircraft type and unit markings. Both crew members ejected, prompting a high-risk rescue operation involving U.S. aircraft and helicopters, one of which—a UH-60 Black Hawk—was struck by Iranian ground fire. One pilot was successfully recovered, while the second remained unaccounted for as of Friday afternoon. In a separate incident the same day, an A-10 Warthog crashed in the Persian Gulf region, though its pilot was safely rescued. The events underscore Iran’s continued capability to challenge U.S. air operations in the region.

New “satellite scans” and underground imaging data allegedly reveal massive geometric structures buried deep beneath Antarctica—suggesting the possibility of a hidden ancient city. Researchers from the (fictional) International Polar Research Institute say the formations show clear signs of organized infrastructure, sparking global debate over what may lie beneath the ice.

In February 1991, as Iraqi forces retreated from Kuwait along Highway 80, U.S.-led coalition aircraft unleashed a relentless bombardment. What followed was devastation on a massive scale hundreds of vehicles destroyed, the road turned into a graveyard of burned-out tanks, trucks, and lives cut short. To some, it was a decisive military strike that ensured Iraq’s withdrawal. To others, it remains one of the most controversial moments of the war, raising lasting questions about proportional force and the human cost of conflict. A single stretch of road that still echoes with the consequences of war.

Iranian authorities confirmed the execution of political prisoners Babak Alipour and Pouya Ghobadi on Tuesday, a day after two other individuals connected to the same case were hanged. During proceedings in Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court, eight defendants including two who were not sentenced to death denied all charges of armed rebellion against the state. Several defendants and their lawyers told the court that their confessions had been obtained under torture and other forms of mistreatment. Despite these claims, the court sentenced six of the men to death and issued prison sentences for all eight. Pouya Ghobadi was also given an additional prison sentence for attempting to leave the country. Meanwhile, Mohammad’s brothers, Ali and Mojtaba Taghavi Sangdehi, received prison terms of two years and six years and seven months, respectively, on charges related to national security offenses.

The U.S. Army has launched an investigation after a military helicopter was spotted flying at low altitude near Kid Rock’s Nashville home on Saturday, according to Reuters. The aircraft reportedly passed by Rock’s 27,000-square-foot home, which is modeled after the White House. “A U.S. official confirmed the incident and said the Army is reviewing how it occurred,” Reuters reporter @idreesali114 noted. The Army stated that an administrative review is underway to evaluate the mission and ensure compliance with regulations and airspace requirements, adding that appropriate action will be taken if any violations are identified.

In 1974, Daphne Sheldrick achieved something that had eluded conservationists for nearly 30 years she found a way to keep orphaned infant elephants alive. For decades, rescuers had tried and failed to raise baby elephants without their mothers. No matter what they fed them, the calves would weaken and die. Elephant milk is incredibly complex, and without it, survival seemed almost impossible. Every orphaned calf faced the same fate. Daphne refused to accept that. Working in Kenya, she dedicated herself to understanding what these elephants truly needed—not just physically, but emotionally. She spent years experimenting with different milk formulas, adjusting ingredients over and over again, determined to replicate what nature had perfected. After countless failed attempts, she finally discovered the missing piece: a formula that worked, with coconut oil playing a critical role. For the first time, orphaned calves began to survive. But Daphne’s work went far beyond nutrition. She realized baby elephants needed constant care, affection, and companionship just like human children. She and her team became their family, raising them, protecting them, and eventually preparing them to return to the wild. What started as one breakthrough turned into a legacy. The elephants she saved grew up… and many went on to have calves of their own—new lives that would have never existed if she had given up. One woman’s persistence didn’t just save a few animals. It changed the future of an entire generation. Photo Credit: Daphne Sheldrick and her daughter, Angela, with Eleanor, an elephant raised by Daphne.

Australian IT entrepreneur @paul_conyngham turned to an unexpected tool when his dog Rosie was diagnosed with advanced cancer and given only months to live. After chemotherapy and surgery failed, he used ChatGPT to explore alternative approaches and discovered the concept of mRNA-based therapeutic vaccines—designed to train the immune system to target cancer cells. With no background in biology, Conyngham leaned on AI to help him understand complex medical ideas, opening a new path in his effort to save his dog when conventional treatments had run out.

A powerful and controversial image people exercising their right to protest while targeting the very symbol of the country that protects that freedom. This happened today while protesters gathered outside the ICE detention center in Portland, where some were seen burning American flags. Moments like this continue to spark debate about expression, patriotism, and where the line is drawn.

The IRGC issued a statement urging the entire Muslim world to form a unified military alliance independent of the United States and Israel, declaring Iran is “ready” to lead it. “We do not need a power thousands of kilometers away to secure our region.” This signals the IRGC’s broader postwar vision: dismantle American influence in the Middle East and replace it with an Islamic security bloc led by Tehran.
