Sometimes I mourn the forests we never got to see

There are old photographs of men standing on sequoia stumps, smiling like they’d accomplished something.

That was the story of America, really. See a thing older than God, cut it down, call it progress.

Sometimes I think the loss was not only the trees, but the people we might have been if we had understood that not everything was meant to be owned.

Image 4 was unintentionally AI-generated. After reading the comments, I agree it does not belong with the original photographs. I apologize for missing this earlier. Unfortunately, I’m unable to remove the image from the post, but I appreciate everyone who pointed it out!!

Another invading terrorist eliminated. 'Israel' admits senior reserve officer killed in Lebanese resistance ambush on Tuesday, May 19.

The 'israeli' army has admitted that Major (Res.) Itamar Sapir, deputy company commander in the 7008th Battalion of the 551st “Half-Fire” Formation, was killed by the Lebanese resistance in south Lebanon.

Sapir was a senior reserve field officer in one of 'israel's' main reserve paratrooper brigades, making him a significant officer casualty.

Channel 12 reported that the incident took place on Tuesday morning after invading 'israeli' occupation forces came under fire by the Lebanese resistance from the vicinity of a church in the Qawzah area. Sapir was struck during the exchange.

'Israeli' Army Radio said a Hezbollah fighter opened fire on the officer, killing him instantly before withdrawing from the scene, while KAN reported that the ambush took place approximately 2.5 kilometers inside an area under 'israeli' occupation.

According to Channel 12, Sapir is the tenth invading IOF soldier killed on the northern front since the so-called ceasefire with Lebanon was declared on 16 April.

The 'israeli' army has now acknowledged at least 21 IOF soldiers killed in south Lebanon since March, while reporting that more than 910 troops have been wounded.

The American Rebellion Against AI Is Gaining Steam

The only thing growing faster than the artificial-intelligence industry may be Americans’ negative feelings about it, as former Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt saw on Friday.

Delivering a commencement address at the University of Arizona, Schmidt told students the “technological transformation” wrought by artificial intelligence will be “larger, faster, and more consequential than what came before.” Like some other graduation speakers mentioning AI, Schmidt was met with a chorus of boos.

"No order from The Hague will deter me," convicted terrorist Ben Gvir said. More info and sources below.

Middle East Eye reported on 18 May that ICC prosecutors filed a secret application for an arrest warrant against 'Israeli' Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, while a possible case against National Security Minister and convicted terrorist Itamar Ben Gvir remains under review.

Following the report, Ben Gvir attacked the court and vowed to continue his apartheid policies against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

“I am not afraid and not deterred. No order from The Hague will deter me from continuing to lead an offensive policy against terrorists,” Ben Gvir said, adding: “I won't apologize, I won't blink, and I won't stop.”

The report is separate from a Haaretz claim that the ICC had already issued five new sealed warrants against 'israeli' officials, which the court denied to Reuters as inaccurate.

Iran is more likely to build nuclear weapons since the U.S. and Israel started this war. There’s a reason why the U.S. hasn’t attacked China, Russia, and North Korea.
