Someone who can't read Japanese might mistake this for an ad for a happy slice-of-life anime.
It's actually the front cover of the Japanese Ministry of Defense's 2026 White Paper, which explains the country's defense policies.
Albert Corey, French runner and silver medalist in the 1904 St. Louis Olympics marathon event, dies in Paris. He was 48.
For those unfamiliar with the 1904 St. Louis Olympics marathon event, it is one of the chaotic incidents in athletic history: the Cuban runner lost all his money and had to hitchhike to the games, and he raced in trousers; the route hadn’t been sealed off, so the competitors constantly had to dodge traffic; and there was only one water station along the entire marathon route, as James Sullivan, the chief gamemaker, wanted to deliberately test the limits of human endurance.
American runner William Garcia collapsed and almost died, and South African runner Len Tau was attacked by a wild dog.
The hapless Cuban runner, who hadn’t eaten in days, stopped to eat some apples, but they were rotten and he dropped out due to cramping.
American runner Fred Lorz got tired and he hitched a ride to the finish line, then was declared the winner before officials realized his ruse.
Officials also discovered American runner Thomas Hicks collapsed from dehydration, but instead of giving him water they gave him strychnine, brandy, and eggs, and he got up and resumed running, but spent the race staggering around and hallucinating. Officials shadowed him and fed him more brandy and eggs whenever he appeared to collapse. He finished the race.
@MickeyGitzin זו תשובה קלה מדי. רואים תהליכים דומים ב-ארה״ב ובמדינות מערביות רבות. יש מרכיב של ״רוח התקופה״, שהיא ניהיליסטית, רוח של התפרקות ואובדן אחריות
יש המייחסים את זה למשבר הכלכלי של 2008 (תשובה שלא עובדת לגבי ישראל), אולי לעליית הטלפונים /רשתות חברתיות. מכל מקום, כיבוש זו תשובה לא מספקת
@AterItai אני מתקשה להבהיר את שאלתי, אנסה עוד פעם אחת. אני מתייחס לציטוט ומאמר מקושר של שנרב
א. כתבת שנתוני למ״ס (הבסיס של שנרב) הם חצי שנה, אבל שלך (של כל השנה) הם גם למ״ס. הוא עשה cherry-picking לחצי שנה? או שהמידע לא שוחרר לציבור?
ב. שנרב כן מחריג עולים; כתב בטור שלו שבדק ילידי ישראל
@AterItai לא הבנתי: הנתונים שלכם הם של כל השנה והם לא מה-למ״ס? כי שנרב כותב שהיתה ירידה של 20% לעומת 2024 בכמות העוזבים בחצי שנה הראשונה.
הנתונים ששנרב מתמקד בהם גם מסירים עולים חדשים שהגיעו ועזבו באמצעות התמקדות בילידי ישראל.
השוני המשמעותי במגמות בין 2 הניתוחים מאד מוזר.
Beyond the basic criticism here, considering the issues that seem to be dominating this primary campaign, I feel this is far more than a "strategic error", and yet another part of what we see in American academia since October 7th.
@AAUP and @ProfTWolf making major strategic errors; main professional organization of professors should not be a political lobby endorsing in D primaries
יש משהו בזוי במיוחד בחוסר היכולת של האיש הזה להאמין במשהו טוב לגבי מתנגדיו הפוליטיים. הוא פשוט לא מוכן להכיר בזה שבצד השני יש משהו טוב.
(בעולם זו גישה נפוצה יותר בשמאל, אבל בישראל רוב השמאל הבין שבלי להכיר בדברים חיוביים בימין לעולם לא יגיע לשלטון...)

But it would be useful for the people who want to negotiate a multilateral AI control agreements to do some deep reading on the history of multilateral institutions and ask themselves whether it would be remotely feasible to negotiate what they want on any useful timescale
@ncarmi@Omer_Lubi עדיף המונח ״הגדה המערבית״, כאילו שזה עדין חלק מירדן?
(לדעתי, שאני מבין שאת לא מסכימה איתה, עדיף לומר ״כן, ברור שזה שטח שיש לנו קשר היסטורי אליו, אבל אנחנו עדיין סבורים שלא צריכים לשלוט עליו ועל תושביו״, מאשר להשתמש במינוחים אחרים. אבל לא יודע איזה מינוח,חוץ מ״השטחים״ הגנרי, עדיף)
@img770@DuduLagziel כיון ש״אבר״ דורש עצם שלמה (כמו גם בשר, שאין לו שיעור), לפי מה שאני מכיר, המשמעות המקובלת (עפ״י המנייה במשנה), היא שזה בעצם מספר העצמות.
Only since the advent of Overleaf did I discover there are people who see a red icon indicating errors in their LaTeX, and yet are NOT totally consumed with a desire to eliminate it and only work once the LaTeX is correct. Instead, they focus first on the content itself.
Weirdos.
@mattyglesias Analyzing US politics, you are more careful to look at economic issues. In this case, as well, quite shockingly, the economy is doing suprisingly well. The stock market's been amazing since October 2023 too…
