NYC First Lady Painted Portrait of Her 'Inspiration': A Jew-Hating Artist Who Said 'Anne Frank' Is a Hoax, Posted Hitler's Paintings, and Celebrated Oct 7
Rama Duwaji's obsession with the Palestinian cause is shown in her reverence for the violence-tinged painter Sliman Mansour New York City first lady Rama Duwaji's self-declared artistic "inspiration," whose portrait she's painted in tribute, is a radical Hamas propagandist who praised the terror group's leaders as "great heroes," openly celebrated the Oct. 7 attack against Israel, and has claimed that The Diary of Anne Frank is a Jewish forgery. Sliman Mansour, a Palestinian artist, was also pleased when a warlike reinterpretation of one of his paintings was used as a backdrop for an angry press conference by future Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar, where he thanked Iran for funding Hamas. Mansour died in August after spending decades propping up violent "resistance" movements against the State of Israel. Before that, Duwaji had animated a portrait of the painter and indicated he "inspired the work that I do." "Hi, I'm Rama, a Syrian illustrator and animator based in Brooklyn, and today I'm going to be animating a portrait of Sliman Mansour, who is a painter and sculptor that's inspired the work that I do. Sliman is an artist of the Intifada," said Houston-born Duwaji, the wife of Zohran Mamdani, in a video first posted online in April 2024. The second intifada, in the early 2000s, involved thousands of terror attacks against Israelis, including deadly suicide bombings on buses. It left more than a thousand Israelis dead, mostly civilians. Mansour's work "is about the Palestinian experience under occupation, and growing up seeing his paintings, I was always really inspired by the emotion behind his portraits," Duwaji continued. The video shows her working in a Palestinian-themed studio under a large banner reading "Artists Against Apartheid: Palestine Will Be Free"--a reference widely considered an antisemitic trope. She wears a keffiyeh-patterned headband and even lights a candle using matches from a Brooklyn Palestinian restaurant. "Sliman has been jailed twice since the start of his career," Duwaji says proudly. "And since then, he's inspired many artists after him, including myself."
Oh. My. G**.

@CBSNews 2h Elon Musk unveiled Tesla's long-awaited Roadster on Thursday, claiming the electric sports car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in less than a second, reach speeds of 230 mph and even fly. The vehicle reportedly uses thrusters to achieve its extreme acceleration, though details about its flight capabilities remain unclear. Tesla says production is expected to begin in 2028, with no price announced.
Channel 4 NewsI saw this last night and immediately thought, of course, "AI." NOPE.
@Channel4News 3h Tesla has unveiled its new and redesigned Roadster - a 'flying car' that can turn in the air and land. Developed in collaboration with CEO Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX, it's claimed the Roadster can accelerate from zero to 60mph in less than one second and can hit a top speed of over 230 mph. Tesla demonstrated the two-seater vehicle at a livestreamed event in Texas, showing it driving upside down on a ramp and performing a mid-air flip. Musk told the crowd, "It can basically fly like a rocket", but admitted it's "not necessarily a safety-optimised car." It remains unclear how the proposed flying features would work on public roads, or whether they would be legal. Production is set to start in 2028.
JUST IN: Elon Musk unveils the Tesla Roadster by launching it off a ramp before the car flipped in midair and safely landed on the ground.
The car is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX. One of the most insane things I've ever seen. https://t.co/4tME4yavIh— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 16, 2026
ELON MUSK: “It's going to be pretty wild that you can have a rocket car. The car has attitude control thrusters and main thrusters in the rear, so it can basically fly like a rocket. It could do rolls. It could do crazy gymnastics. Whatever you want, really.
This is not necessarily a safety-optimized car, but it takes the fun meter to 11 out of 10.
This will be an actual car that’s on the roads. I’m not sure it’s necessarily legal in all jurisdictions. The car can recharge its air tank, so it’s not like you need special propellant or anything like that. It literally is just going to pop itself up and be able to do these maneuvers whenever you’d like.”— DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) October 16, 2026

She's so bitter: "My approval rating is always sky high when I'm not running for something...as long as I am in service to either a man like my husband or President Obama..." "And then once I say, well, you know what? I think I could do a really good job. Like, I don't know, being president. Then oh my goodness, that's very scary." Hillary's never getting over her rejection in 2016. Gnaws at her every day of her bitter life.— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) October 15, 2026

Elon is going for a double catch on the next Starship test flight, Flight 15. The booster will come back and be caught by the tower, which they've done before.
And then, Starship itself will go into orbit for a few loops, then deorbit and come back down to the tower at Starbase and be caught by the tower.
Elon said the last two flights were so accurate, they're confident they can do it. With those splashdowns in the ocean you've seen, they were pretending there was a virtual tower there, and maneuvering the incoming vehicle to align perfectly with that imaginary tower on the ocean surface.

How did she get her Sec. of State job? She was hired by a MAN, her Dem opponent, who negotiated her being part of her administration, one assumes to project party unity and to appease those who voted for her in the primary.
What has Hillary accomplished on her own?
Heck, what has she accomplished, period? I mean legitimately good and legal accomplishments, not "she monetized the heck out of her position at State" or "she and bill accumulated hundreds of millions and DC power via their NGO." Book sales don't count, either, since we no how that scam works.

The Belgians built the main road in the area in 1954, and zero maintenance on the road has been done since the Belgians left.

To give you an idea of how mind-blowingly precise these tower catch maneuvers are, they use what SpaceX calls a "hoverslam". They changed that term from the previous "suicide burn" term (because that's what it is).
Imagine Neil Armstrong, under manual control there at the last, landing the LM on the Moon, using thrusts. He had to slow down just over the surface, and then basically hover for a relatively long time, gradually easing it down, within the limits of human reaction time and all that.
That takes a relatively large amount of fuel. You're basically hovering, just wasting fuel fighting gravity while you gingerly lower it.
Those boosters can't do that. It would take too much fuel. So....

The booster (and Ship) have to retain enough fuel to do the landing burns. Which is fuel that can't be used to push the think into orbit. So, you want to minimize the weight of the fuel you have to keep onboard for the landing burn.
The faster you accelerate, the more efficient it is terms of fighting gravity, and the less fuel required. So...the vehicle some flying it, aiming for the landing zone. At supersonic speeds initially. Now, just at the last moment, you fire the engines just right, thrust vector and attitude have to be dead on the money.
And you go full thrust, decelerating as hard as you can. And you time so just as the landing legs of the vehicle touch the ground (or the catch pegs are in their sockets on the tower) your velocity is zero, and there you are, dead stopped on the ground. An you're out of fuel right at that moment.
The precision required to do that is just mind boggling.

IIRC, Jason didn't become superhuman until later in the series. I think in at least the first movie where he was the killer, he was a normal human, moved like a normal human, and didn't become a superhuman slow-walking zombie until later.

I think it was baked in from the beginning. In the first film (where his mother is the killer), he appears in the final shot, still as a child decades later, and heavily disfigured. It's not a whole lot, but it's not "just a guy" type stuff.
It just grew into something more obviously fantastical as the series kept going.
Except for V. He's not even in V.
Still, it's a stupid series that's only concerned with its own rules in comparison to something like Halloween's sequels.

Yes, it's a balance between drag and gravity losses. On launch, it works out that the gravity losses are the vast majority of the wasted fuel compared to drag.
On launch, you go up a little steeper than the ideal gravity-only launch trajectory. This gets you out of the denser air must quicker, where you can then lean over and start pouring on the horizontal speed.
Coming back in, re-entry, you use that drag to bleed off most of that horizontal speed. On the last leg, before the landing burn, you're going slow enough that's it's all about killing that last bit of velocity with thrust as efficiently as possible.

In the movies he's as strong as Arnold as the Terminator. He never moves faster than a slow walk, yet manages to catch up to his victims, hide where they can't see, and pop out of nowhere to kill them. He's often portrayed as surviving injuries that would kill any normal human.
How is a teleporting, magical Terminator not scary?

From Amazon, book's description:
From the sunlit courtyard of her family home in Mogadishu to the icy streets of Minneapolis, Salt in the Snow is a deeply personal memoir about migration, motherhood, and the enduring influence of a father’s love.

The Falcon 9s uses the "hoverslam" maneuver. That's because the engines can't be throttled down far enough to just hover the Falcon 9. So they run an incredibly precise landing sequence that calculates that the excess thrust will have the rocket moving at 0 vertical velocity at the exact moment the legs touch the pad. Any longer, and the rocket starts lifting back up. Any less time, and the rocket smashes the landing legs. It's a pretty astonishing feat.
Starship and Superheavy *can* be throttled down far enough to hover. But as you point out, that wastes fuel, so eventually they'll want to get pretty close to a hoverslam type maneuver to maximize payload (maybe).

Hitchcock actually built up Crane as a character in Psycho so that her death would be shocking.
But, the appeal for horror movies like Friday the 13th is never about actually scaring. There's no atmosphere. There's no tension. It's just blunt force violence done with comic timing.
People watch Friday the 13th to laugh, not to scream in fear.

2. Automatically reports speeding to authorities
3. Automatically turns off the AC if outside temperature is below 35°C
4. Car will not start when public transport option exists on your route
5. Built-in system reminds you how much CO₂ your trip produced
Launch expected after EU regulatory approval in 2068
