Although I strongly oppose Trump’s populist behavior and rhetoric, I’m deeply glad to see the exchange of hostages and prisoners from both sides.
No political polarization can overshadow my joy today.
Long live freedom, no to violence.
May the two-state solution and the end of this endless war finally come. ✌️🌿

@SusanV Hi Susan, when you asked for my WhatsApp, I took it as a kind wish to stay in touch (or maybe to check I’m not an AI 😄). I’d love to keep the conversation going, and it means a lot to me. For now, I prefer to stay in touch on Telegram: @JacobR1990.
If you’d like to verify me or connect professionally, here’s my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayub-a-17a966187.
Looking forward to chatting more!

Thank you all for participating in the Elon Musk Remorse Contest. No new entries are being accepted; we have a winner.

The WH confirmed Saturday it has “authorized” the deployment of #NationalGuard units to #Illinois over opposition from Gov #JBPritzker…

Brace for the #propaganda:

“Amidst ongoing violent riots & lawlessness, that local leaders like Pritzker have refused to step in to quell, President Trump has authorized 300 national guardsmen to protect federal officers & assets,” White House spox Abigail Jackson said in a statement issued late Saturday afternoon.

@SusanV I’m truly passionate about modeling—especially in Revit, which is my main specialty. Recently, as a research project, I’ve also started experimenting with FreeCAD. I even enjoy modeling MEP systems (mechanical and electrical), not just structures. For me, 3D modeling feels both creative and technical at the same time, and that’s what makes it so rewarding.

@SusanV Haha, I can see why you might think that, but no—I’m definitely not an AI. 😊 I just have a very organized way of thinking, and I really love structure and order. English isn’t my first language (my native language is Persian), so sometimes I use ChatGPT to double-check my grammar and make sure my replies are clear.

Every day, Elon Musk shows more clearly how far he stands from science, shaping his views around hostility toward established minority groups. At times, I feel he acts like a repressed individual who has decided to ignore and silence part of society simply because he failed to impose his own desires even on those closest to him.

Nepal’s Gen-Z revolution had no leader, only people acting together.

74 killed, 2,113 injured, institutions burned. Discord became their square, Karki chosen by vote.

For 48 hours, power was truly public. The message: we don’t need saviours, we need each other.

When Donald Trump talks about peace in Gaza or Ukraine, from the bottom of my heart, I wish those words could become reality. But no major problem is solved with superficial thinking or oversimplification.

And yet, I know that whether peace comes or not, Trump will still say, “I made peace happen.” These lies have become so repetitive that I no longer even react when I hear them.

It was painful for me to see at the UN speech that the representative of a country I always considered the cradle of democracy and freedom acted with arrogance, turning the whole message into a declaration of war against the vulnerable of the world — and even complained why the world is not grateful. I am deeply disappointed in the American style of democracy, where the deception of public opinion can be this powerful.

This week in FreeCAD development:

Sketcher: 

theo-vt fixed a blocker where FreeCAD would crash when trimming arcs and lines. He also fixed another bug where splitting an edge would work incorrectly.

PaddleStroke improved circle constraint positioning, fixed a crash on constraint selection, and fixed a blocker where arc offset dimension constraint wouldn’t w

Although I’m glad that progressive and humanitarian countries like the UK, Canada, Australia, and France have finally recognized the two-state solution as the best path forward, I can’t help but wish this had happened earlier—before the tragic events of October 7 and the horrific war crimes and mass killings that followed.

When I took this photo, I had just started my job in Canada and was feeling a mix of stress and joy. I began working during the winter, and this picture marks my very first spring here-the first time I could finally go out and wear the clothes I liked.
