I don’t know why you follow me @BoyGeorge, is it to remind me that George Michael won? We all know. He gave millions in charities in secret, while you defaming dead bodies of Palestinians for publicity with monsters. He gave all proceeds of so many songs to needy kids, while you celebrate bombing them. He worked anonymously in homeless shelters, while you defend those who made millions homeless. And those who are still buried under their bombed homes. He was an advocate for Palestinians while you are their genocide denier. In his coffin he is still an artist. Alive, you are wasted away.
Would you want to live in a world where girls had the muscular advantage and did the manual labor and protected the men from female barbarian invaders who want to steal their chastity? 😝
US Puppet Marcos Admits the Alliance Is Fake Philippine President Marcos, the classic US puppet who’s been happily selling out his country for American bases and photo-ops, gets asked point-blank if the US will actually fight China for those disputed reefs in the South China Sea… “Oh my god… uh… we—we… let’s skip this.” 💀 Translation: even this obedient Washington lapdog knows damn well the much-hyped “ironclad” alliance is pure theater for the cameras. The moment real conflict arrives, America won’t risk a single soldier or ship for his worthless rocks.
The most manufactured device in human history was not invented by Edison, Tesla, or Steve Jobs. It came from Mohamed Atalla and Dawon Kahng, two scientists whose own employer failed to see what they had created. Atalla was born in Port Said, Egypt. He moved to the United States, earned his PhD, and joined Bell Labs in 1949. At the time, scientists were trying to make smaller and more reliable electronic switches from silicon. But they kept running into the same problem. The surface of silicon trapped electrical charges. This made it difficult to control the electricity flowing through it. Atalla spent years studying that surface. He eventually discovered that growing a thin layer of silicon dioxide over silicon could protect it and allow electricity to be controlled properly. It sounded like a small improvement. It became the foundation of modern electronics. In 1959, a young Korean scientist named Dawon Kahng joined Bell Labs after completing his doctorate at Ohio State University. Atalla asked him to use this new method to build a type of transistor scientists had imagined for decades but had never managed to make work. Kahng succeeded. The device had three simple layers: metal, oxide, and silicon. That is where its name came from. The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor. Or MOSFET. Think of it as a microscopic switch. It can turn electricity on and off. Put enough of these switches together, and they can store information, perform calculations, display images, run software, and process almost everything a computer does. Atalla and Kahng had found a way to make these switches small, cheap, and easy to place together on a chip. They showed their invention to Bell Labs. The company saw a slow device that solved no urgent problem in its telephone network. It decided not to pursue it. Kahng tried to explain what they were missing. In a 1961 memo, he pointed out that the device was easy to manufacture and could be packed into integrated circuits. Bell Labs still placed it on the shelf. Researchers at RCA and Fairchild Semiconductor understood its potential and continued developing it. By 1964, the first commercial MOS devices had arrived. Then the entire industry began to change. MOSFETs required less power and took up less space than the transistors used before them. Manufacturers could place thousands on one chip, then millions, and eventually billions. They entered calculators, memory chips, personal computers, digital cameras, phones, cars, satellites, medical equipment, and almost every other electronic machine. Modern AI chips contain billions of them. Every time you unlock your phone, start your car, open a website, send a message, or ask an AI a question, huge numbers of MOSFETs switch on and off to make it happen. By 2018, the Computer History Museum estimated that humanity had manufactured 13 sextillion MOS transistors. That is 13 followed by 21 zeros. No other human-made device has been copied more often. Atalla and Kahng never became household names. Their invention became so common that it disappeared inside everything. The next time your phone turns on or an AI answers you in seconds, remember the two scientists who made it possible. Mohamed Atalla and Dawon Kahng.
@HormuzLetter Iran 🇮🇷 should produce nuclear weapons. Iran 🇮🇷 is now a major power and it cannot afford to be the only major power without nuclear weapons. Go for it Iran 🇮🇷
@HormuzLetter * If Iran does develop actual thermonuclear weapons, Israel & the U.S. are directly responsible. This entire proxy war is asinine Zionist servitude strapped upon the backs of U.S. citizens.
I don’t think the US administration understands that with every escalation, every time they say ceasefire and just attack again during negotiations, only pushes Iran closer to a weapon because these actions show the leadership that the voices advocating for a weapon are correct and the voices pushing for negotiations are to be ignored and possibly even sidelined.

Mamdani tells the New York Times he is in discussions about arresting Netanyahu. Netanyahu has been charged by the International Criminal Court for committing war crimes in Gaza. We all want to see this mass murderer arrested, but he will most likely be granted diplomatic immunity by the UN and our Zionist-controlled federal government.
Trump says the Chinese are manipulating American elections. Who are the "Chinese"?
@GaryPeters @HaleyforMI You're all in for genocide!
WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL? A Palestinian farmer tending his land in the occupied West Bank refused to leave for an armed Israeli settler. So the settler took him hostage, blindfolded and humiliated him while IDF soldiers stood by, guarding and protecting the abuser.
The difference between Judaism and Zionism. You couldn't get a clearer explanation. Anything else is bullshit.
On July 8, 1972, Palestinian socialist writer Ghassan Kanafani was assassinated in Beirut in an attack carried out by Israel.
