The report requirement I do not know what to think of. Where is that going? Assuming they actually hand in the homework, and it is done with the same (lack of) seriousness as the defense of this case, what then?

Someone else here in another thread (~~I forget where~~) (here it is) said that it was giving Israel rope with which to hang themselves. If Israel won't even do this minimal task, it's going to cause serious damage to their worldwide propaganda efforts.

The one that I get is "competition breeds innovation". I think they're just wrong that it should always be monetary competition. Personal-prestige competition (such as academic reputations) can also be a powerful motivator. The USSR had a bit of this going on in the various OKBs.

No coalition of the willing are going to act as world police and stop the zionists with force.

Even if there was an international coalition, even if the United States didn't unconditionally back Israel, there's the elephant in the room: Israel's nuclear weapons. And out of all the countries on the planet, Israel is bottom of the list in terms of "fucks to give about international opinion", and top of the list for "prone to extreme disproportionate violence". That's a worrying combination.

There's a fancy gala dinner in London tonight for attendees of one of the UK's biggest arms sales expos.

Sometimes I think that the people we ought to be focusing on radicalizing en masse are catering staff.

Yes, on the condition that the only topic of conversation is "Dogma".

Don't do this to me! I've been checking out prices on leather skirts all week. As sexy as it would look and feel, my bank account is yelling "don't do that".

I'm thinking of doing vocal performances of excerpts from "The School of Venus" (published in 1655) on tiktok. I'm told I have a voice for radio and that I should do book readings there. Starting with a classic text that's well out of copyright seems like a good idea.

It's fun! It's a very practical language. By far my favourite thing about Go is that the standard library is massive. For example, you can write a high-performance HTTP server that can handle a ridiculous number of concurrent requests in only a few dozen lines of code, because all the functions are in the standard library. But despite that huge library, it's really easy to learn because there's a relatively small number of keywords, and all the standard library functions work in a consistent way. If you already have familiarity with C, learning Go is basically a weekend project.

One thing that Go lacks is a mature UI toolkit. It's fantastic for writing memory-safe and fast network services and command line utilities, but I probably wouldn't recommend it quite yet for desktop or mobile apps. The Fyne folks are working on fixing that.
