t deal even if he wanted to. But it's very clever from Hamas because it puts a wedge between Israel and the United States because Trump really likes releasing hostages, not just these hostages but he's got this great track record of being able to get hostages out and he brags about it.

So Hamas cleverly thinks there's no way Trump is going to say no to a sure thing. It'd be a sure thing. 60 days of not fighting for half of the hostages. And we don't know that there's any response but I think it only matters what Israel thinks of it.

Turkish President Erdogan who as you know is a member of NATO was asked in an interview do you consider what's happening in Gaza a genocide? Erdogan says there's no other explanation. This is a full-fledged genocide and Netanyahu is responsible.

And the question that I ask is what would it be if Hamas were the dominant military and Israel was just hiding in tunnels? Would there be a genocide in that direction? Yes of course it would. Hamas has been very clear that it would be a genocide as soon as they have the ability to do it.

So my take is genocide is bad with the single exception that if the other team is saying directly and consistently and for years if we get a chance we are going to genocide you so hard. What else are you going to do? It might still be a genocide but you have to genocide a genocide. How else would you stop it? Because if the only thing that will stop them from killing you is completely taking them off the field, what are you going to do?

So Russia's been shooting down Ukrainian incoming drones like crazy, including a number of them were heading toward Moscow. Now how would you feel if you lived in a major city anywhere and on a regular basis your government had to shoot down incoming exploding death drones? Like even if they got them all would you ever feel comfortable going outdoors? I mean it feels like it'd be really uncomfortable.

So it makes me wonder if the population in Moscow is starting to feel the war in a way that they hadn't felt it before. You know I think Moscow is most of the opinion that matters. So I guess their anti-aircraft destroyed 81 Ukrainian drones in one night. And that's a lot.

Sweden says that they're prepared to shoot down any Russian jets that wander into their territory because as you might know for reasons that I'm not entirely clear about the purpose, Russia has been quite consciously wandering into the airspace of other neighboring countries. So Estonia, Poland, Romania, Russia just keeps accidentally flying into their airspace, presumably putting pressure on or maybe testing defenses or both or what?

But Sweden says if Russia flies over their space they're going to shoot it down. No warnings and no excuses. Do they mean it? I don't know. We might find out.

I saw a post by Alex Prompter who says that Google is right on the border of revolutionizing education. Apparently Google has launched an AI app or program called Learn Your Way. So what it does is it gives a very personalized lesson to each student based on what they need basically. So if you have a different learning style, if you need a mind map or an audio lesson, a timeline that you could click around on or quizzes that will change based on what you know and what you don't know and that sort of thing.

So they tested it on 60 high schoolers and it worked great. Apparently every one of them said it made them more confident. Scores were up. And so basically if AI could adapt its teaching method for each person and maybe each day, the potential for how well you could learn things apparently is really good.

So that might be a big deal because in my opinion the terrible school system is one of the biggest things that holds back people born into poverty is that they can't necessarily use school to escape. And if you could fix that by making it universally possible that everybody can get this kind of education with AI then you would solve one of the biggest problems in the country and they may have solved it.

You know we may see that instead of regular classrooms maybe you just go to a pod of a dozen people that decided to be in the same pod because none of them are troublemak
