If you have a problem, If no one else can help and if you can find him. Maybe you should still hire somebody else…

Worrying news about possible IDF intervention in a Damascus suburb. Family and friends all worried about attempts to partition the country. This is probably the most dangerous period in Syria’s history 😞

First morning of Ramadan. Feeling okay so far but missing not having a coffee. Glad I woke up before sunrise to have some food and water.

I'm not surprised Trump & Vance sold out our allies, our values, our way of life. I've known since inauguration that the country as we've known it for 250 years is dead. But today's disgraceful display in the Oval Office was like watching the autopsy. Disgusting. Time for revolution & rebirth

What President Zelenskyy endured today is what Syrians had faced from most of the world for the past 13 years - “why don’t you make a deal with the person who is trying to kill you”. There are some things you can’t compromise on 🇺🇦

Good on Zelensky for not letting himself be cowed and bullied and for standing up for his country ❤️

Watching the humiliation of Zelensky in the White House by Trump and JD Vance is cringeworthy and utterly shocking. Putin is loving this.

We will rebuild our country. We will educate our children. We will fix what is broken, and heal what is harmed, Israel and Iran won’t break us.

The utter weakness in Syria today on the economic, political, and military levels are all because of the disastrous Baath & Assad family era. Over fifty years of murder, corruption and oppression

Some thoughts on writing fiction. I’m not published and have no agent so take what I say with a very big pinch of salt.

On the morning of Nasrallah's funeral spare a thought for the Palestinians of Yarmouk and the Lebanese who had been forgotten in Seydnaya prison for over four decades. All of whom Nasrallah didn't give a damn about when he supported Assad in his brutal repression

This is new, to me, and interesting. ChatGPT doesn’t try to bullshit an answer anymore and now seems to try “reasoning”
