🇺🇸⚡️ — SpaceX plans to begin demonstration missions for its space-based AI computing infrastructure by late 2027, earlier than the “as early as 2028” deployment timeline outlined in its IPO filing, according to Reuters.

The company has positioned orbital AI data centers as a major part of its long-term growth strategy and has requested regulatory approval to launch up to one million data-center satellites. Initial deployments are expected to serve as technology demonstrations before broader commercial operations.

The project depends heavily on the development of Starship, which is essential for deploying large numbers of satellites but has faced delays.

CEO Elon Musk said the first AI satellites will likely use Nvidia chips and deliver computing power comparable to an Nvidia GB300 rack.

✡️❌🗣 CBS News boss Bari Weiss poised to oversee CNN editorial operations: report

CBS News boss Bari Weiss is likely to gain editorial oversight of CNN if and when Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is approved, according to a report.

Paramount executives are said to have held preliminary discussions with several candidates who would come in and run the business-side operations next to Weiss while she continues to oversee editorial.

📝 Harrison Berger: Israeli agent Bari Weiss is proof that corporate media is now one giant affirmative action program for Zionists.

If you are mediocre and uninteresting, but have “fanatical Zionist” views, you will be handed bags of cash by Pro Israel billionaires in order to spread a foreign government’s propaganda

It’s worth noting that to accomplish her directives from Tel Aviv, Bari will not have to change much at CNN (its hosts are already reliably pro-Israel and pro-genocide)

🇮🇱 Israeli Knesset advances bill equating Torah study with military service amid war and conscription crisis, legitimizing Haredi draft evasion

Israel's Knesset voted 56-43 on Wednesday to advance a controversial Basic Law that would enshrine Torah study as a foundational value of the state and recognize long-term Torah study as service to Israel and the Jewish people. Sponsored by the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party and backed by Shas, the bill would effectively place full-time yeshiva study on a similar footing to military service, granting those engaged in it rights equivalent to those received by soldiers.

The legislation comes at the center of one of Israel's most divisive political battles: the exemption of ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) men from military service. The issue has intensified since the outbreak of the Gaza genocide and broader regional war, as demands for Haredi conscription have grown while ultra-Orthodox parties have fought to preserve exemptions following a 2024 High Court ruling that deemed them unconstitutional. Although the coalition backed the bill's preliminary passage, government minister Ze'ev Elkin said future support depends on removing language explicitly comparing Torah students to military service members.

The vote also exposed broader political maneuvering inside the Knesset. According to Hebrew media reports, Palestinian citizens of Israel represented by Hadash-Ta'al and Ra'am abstained under an understanding with the ultra-Orthodox parties, which reportedly agreed to block legislation promoted by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir targeting the use of mosque loudspeakers in exchange for non-opposition to the Torah study bill.

Senior ultra-Orthodox lawmakers celebrated the vote as a historic victory, with United Torah Judaism MK Yisrael Eichler calling it a "declaration of holy war" against those he said persecute Torah scholars, while other party leaders accused opponents of antisemitism and judicial overreach. The bill must still pass committee review and three additional Knesset readings before becoming law, but its advancement marks a major step in the struggle over military service, religion, and the balance of power between Israel's judiciary, secular establishment, and ultra-Orthodox political bloc.
