According to accounts from Slidstvo.Info and other local media outlets, on April 1, 2024, two officers from a local military recruitment office approached #Shulhat while he was grocery shopping, attempting to hand him a notice to report to their office. When Shulhat began recording and questioning the officers about potential links to his probe into Vityuk’s property holdings, they promptly left. Although individuals in Shulhat’s age group are legally subject to conscription under Ukraine’s martial law regulations, the circumstances surrounding this event suggest a deviation from established procedures outlined in Ukrainian law. Notably, #CCTV footage examined by Slidstvo.Info revealed the two officers entering the supermarket accompanied by a civilian, identified by Slidstvo.Info as an SBU representative. This individual pointed out Shulhat before departing. Shortly after, the officers approached Shulhat, addressing him by name, and informed him of the need to update his personal information with the #recruitment board, citing his recent 27th birthday.

This is satire, isn't it?

The original tweet from the State of #Israel’s official account has received more than 53 million views. At the time of this writing, the first Community Note containing the false information about Swift’s bodyguard had over 650,000 views and the second one, which is still public, has over 1.4 million views. Taken together, this appears to show how lots of people can be shown Community Notes which do not add clarification but, in fact, add falsehoods to a post.
If the United States intervenes in the war between Israel and Iran, American forces in the region will be attacked.
They have not said where they got this information from and why has US, UK, Germany and France have suddenly turned into guardians of Israeli security.
But it's the time of sensationalism, anyone can come up with something and then it is turns into "fact" after a few rounds of quotes.
Soon, it will Turner not something completely different and they are going through claim that Iran have said that US targets will be attacked at the same time Iran retaliates again Israeli bombing of it's consulate in Damascus.
Just wait and see (now I'm making up the story, let's see how it goes).

However, over a week ago, other documentation of the incident surfaced on Al-Jazeera. It showed four men, not one, walking together on a wide path, in civilian clothing. There is no one nearby, only the ruins of houses where people once lived. This apocalyptic silence in the Khan Yunis area was shattered by a loud explosion. Two of the men were killed instantly. Two others were wounded and tried to continue walking. Perhaps they thought they had been saved, but seconds later, a bomb was dropped on one of them. You can then see the other one falling to his knees and then, a boom, fire and smoke.
This story is but one example, made public, of the manner in which Palestinians are killed by IDF gunfire in the Gaza Strip. The number of dead Gazans is now estimated to be over 32,000. According to the army, some 9,000 of these are terrorists.
A host of reserve and standing army commanders who have talked to Haaretz cast doubt on the claim that all of these were terrorists. They imply that the definition of terrorist is open to a wide range of interpretation. It’s quite possible that Palestinians who never held a gun in their lives were elevated to the rank of “terrorist” posthumously, at least by the IDF.
“In practice, a terrorist is anyone the IDF has killed in the areas in which its forces operate,” says a reserve officer who has served in Gaza.
In the heart of a kill zone
The combat zone is a key term. This is an area in which a force sets itself up, usually in an abandoned house, with the area surrounding it becoming a closed military area, but with no clear marking as such. Another term for such areas is “kill zones.”
“In every combat zone, commanders define such kill zones,” says the reserve officer. “This means clear red lines that no one who is not from the IDF may cross, so that our forces in the area are not hit.” The boundaries of these kill zones are not determined in advance, nor is their distance from the house in which the forces are situated.

Myth-busting documentary finally breaks the stranglehold of Israel and its western media acolytes over the story of what happened on 7 October.

The revolt among NBC personalities is extraordinary—and could force a real debate about all the ways the media enables Donald Trump and MAGA.

The weird thing about all these anti-abortion people taking cases to the Supremes is that they have brought up how stuff is dangerous to the grown-ups but never that it's dangerous to the fetus, which they've always claimed is a person. NEVER.

Ask social psychologist Phil Zimbardo about "bad apples" versus "bad barrels & barrel-makers".
IMM, Laurence O'Donnell is the embodiment of integrity, plus quite a good fit with the seeking of "context and perspective".
Even good barrels will occasionally produce bad apples, but bad barrels plus bad barrel-makers is what tips the scales toward evil.
If there are islands of responsible journalism that can speak truth to power, and ;even to apparent corruption of 'purity' in one's own ecosystem, I'm happy to see it and celebrate it. I'm thinking O'Donnell, Stephanie ("Let's get smarter" Ruhl), Wagner (who described #Muskvirus as a "free speech absolutist"), and others whose shifts I don't often see .... play on! Continue offering refuges of #truth.

So we've seen how ML models are at their best, for journalism, when recognizing patterns the human eye alone can't see. Patterns in text, data, images of data, photos on the ground, and photos taken from the sky. Of course, a lot of this has been possible for many years. But there are some equally inspiring uses of the hottest new machine-learning technology, LLMs, or generative AI. If traditional machine learning is good at finding patterns in a mess of data, you might say that generative AI's superpower is creating patterns. So let's look at a few examples of that in action for news.
Die #Presse berichtet gerade einhellig:
Da es sich um besetztes Land handelt müsste es sich doch um eine #Annexion handeln 🤔?
Hat Putin am Ende die Krim nur beschlagnahmt?

The #NYTimes once published an article saying that #Hitler wasn’t really that bad. He was just using #antisemitism as a way to attract followers & keep them excited about his #political campaign.
The NYTimes more recently published an article saying that #Trump isn’t really that bad. He is just using threats of #violence & #authoritarianism as a way to attract followers & keep them excited about his political campaign.
The Washington Post’s new #publisher and C.E.O., Will Lewis, was more clearly bearish on subscriptions. “That subscription-based model is now #waning and then will enter a more significant period of decline,” he said. “There’s very positive evidence of how news can be accessed and paid for in more innovative ways. There are day passes that are successful, there’s week passes, there are models like the #Guardian where you can make #donations. So there’s a whole new generation of paying user concepts. I’m pretty excited about it. I think it’s #newsroom 3.0.”
