A Nobel Prize for Hating Israel
How about parking the Gerald Ford Carrier Group outside Oslo. I've had just about enough of this sheet! A Nobel Prize for Hating Israel The last thing the award to Navi Pillay will do is promote the cause of peace. By The Editorial Board, WSJ Oct. 9, 2026 5:54 pm ET It’s possible that the Nobel Committee will someday bestow its peace prize on a less worthy recipient than Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, but we doubt it.

Thieves pull off Italy’s biggest-ever wine heist, stealing 30,000 bottles worth 5 million euros
I've done a carefully analysis with Claude (below) and I think cybercrime or robbing a bank is a far superior option. Good luck unloading the cargo without getting pinched. About 95,000 lb (roughly 43 metric tons), and it would take around 20–28 Sprinter vans. Weight A full 750 ml bottle weighs about 2.6–3.3 lb, depending on the glass. Heavy “premium” bottles sit at the high end, and Champagne bottles are heavier still. A 12-bottle case, including cardboard, usually weighs 35

Was the guy shot by ICE in NYC a law abiding dude?
This doesn't fit into a neat narrative. The guy shot was a real criminal (see below). Bad guy who shouldn't be on the street. That's doesn't mean ICE handled this well however. "ICE said Belgal’s criminal record includes a criminal conviction for grand larceny and arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs and weapons possession. Belgal has two arrests in New York City, according to the NYPD. One arrest was robbery in 2023, after which he pleaded guilty to fourth-degr

Walmart's having a rough time introducing robots to warehouses?
That got me wondering, is Amazon having the same troubles? Gemini to the rescue. Short answer, no they're not having the same problem. The difference comes down to what the robots are being asked to do, how uniform the goods are, and a decade-long head start in vertically integrated tech. While Amazon’s warehouse automation looks ubiquitous and seamless, Walmart is attempting a far more complex logistical task: retrofitting legacy grocery and retail networks rather than sorti
