just tried some Tunisian Maqrout. if you want to imagine it as a westerner, you should say it is like deep-fried fig newtons with a few sesame seeds. The stuffing is the purée of dates, and it's not overly sweet though it might be approaching overly greasy.

I think when I get back from Tunisia, I'm gonna make a lot of videos talking about Tunisian food and teaching people how to make it because Tunisian food is really on another level and having it under your belt, especially as a poor student or worker is going to make your life a lot better. I'm completely convinced that Tunisia has perhaps the greatest cuisine of any country in the world and I am genuinely depressed that I waited so long to visit this incredible country

One of the most concerning features of AI is the intersection between AI and sexuality. Naturally, any new technology that can be converted into pornography will be used for pornography. That is basically a given. And because AI is necessarily up to us to understand its operations even for experts, much less government imbeciles, the trend seems to be one of very laisez-faire attitudes towards one of the most sinister crimes imaginable. In this SNL sketch a mad scientist creates a robot designed to molest children and rather than specifically programming it to molest children he molests it himself, and hopes it passes on the trait. this is very similar to how a lot of bad actors have historically and continually trained AI to act in some of the most unethical ways imaginable, and this will have incredible moral consequences for children around the world as they will likely be the victims of all manner of perverse activities because of the wild West conditions of contemporary AI.
It's been recorded that AI incorporated into social media has pushed sexual ideation to underage users, and AI is also frequently used by sexual predators to create realistic, fakes of their victims, which can often be used to blackmail and coarse genuine abuse material. it is an absolutely urgent matter to institute very stringent regulations on AI for the sake of protecting children from harm.

talking about what was lost and what survived from the ancient libraries of Carthage. This could apply just as well to anything in antiquity.

This might provide a lesson for history, both for the strong nations that are powerful, and for the ones who wish to undo their power.

we have a beautiful bevy of Carthaginian shorts I just uploaded for the channel related to the Tophet of Carthage and the notorious blood libel invented by the Romans that still modern scholars often confidently hold onto despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

In the book, "Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People" Jack George Shaheen Jr. analyzes 1000 portrayals of Arab people in western film. Of these 1000 portrayals 12 are positive and 56 are neutral and the rest of them are negative.
The incredible racism and propagandization of imperialistic violence by Hollywood is no accident. The use of Hollywood for American soft power is well documented with countless examples of Hollywood partnering with the military industrial complex the US government and fascist police apparatus to generate consent for oppression of internal minorities and the vilification of foreign adversaries. it also is the international marketing of the great American lie, creating a golden America where freedom and individualism is paramount, yet is always framed through the "heroic violence" of representatives of power.
How ironic trumpeting of freedom of speech when dissenting speech can only be a whisper to the mighty howl of state fascistic and capitalist boot, licking propaganda churned out by Hollywood for the benefit of the rich and powerful?
