Did anthropology, conflict recovery, peacebuilding, sustainability, ethics... but academic gloves are off in these times of war and genocide

Some guy broke into my house and set up residence in the study room. He says his grandparents used to live in this house and now he won't leave.

My family and I tried to kick him out but he got very violent. He brings in his friends and they help beat us up if we ever try to make him leave.

They keep saying I hate the guy because of his religion. I don't even care about his religion, I just don't like sharing my house with some random outsider who broke in here out of nowhere and took my stuff.

"The poor guy just wants one room to call his own," his friends say in his defense. "You and your family have all the surrounding rooms in the house, and yet you have a problem with the guy having sovereignty over ONE room? That's kind of bigoted and evil."

He keeps throwing stuff at me and my family if we get too close to his door, saying we make him feel afraid. His friends say it's understandable because his room is surrounded by enemies who hate him just for existing, but we don't hate him for existing, we hate him because he forcibly inserted himself into our home and keeps throwing stuff at us.

And what's weird is whenever I explain my situation to normal people they completely understand where I'm coming from and agree the guy is being a dick, but if I talk to the police or the local paper they always side with the guy. Almost everyone in town hates this guy now because of how he's been acting, but everyone in power does everything they can to protect him. It's like there's a total disconnect between the authorities and the will of the public on this particular issue.

It's having a nastier and nastier effect on the community at large all across town. The police have been showing up to arrest anyone who says they think the guy's being an asshole. The paper keeps printing these obnoxious lies telling everyone that me and my family are the real criminals and the guy is actually sweet and awesome. It's really unfair.

Things have been so tense and hostile ever since this guy showed up. I honestly think it would be better if he'd never moved in here at all, but whenever I say that his friends claim I'm saying the guy should be exterminated and try to get me in trouble.

It's a real mess, man.

That guy sucks.

Eric Schmidt saying the quiet part out loud: "What I don't like about [China's AI] is that it's all open source which means it's largely uncontrolled and not controlled in any way by us."

He adds, "if that makes you feel any better," that only 2 or 3 countries can be independent AI powers.

In other words, it's all about hegemony: the ideal scenario is a world where AI is controlled by the US - and the fewer countries that can resist that, the better.

BREAKING: Israel has just issued an evacuation order for the entirety of the biblical city of Tyre.

No more “safe zones.” No more fake ceasefire. No more good-cop-bad-cop routine between Trump and Netanyahu.

Israeli ethnic cleansing is in full effect.

What does it say about you if you look at this infant and see a threat that must be eliminated?

And what does it say about the values of the countries that defend and enable these murders?

This is the 7-month-old Palestinian baby shot & killed by an Israeli soldier yesterday.

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.

Mona is not a fighter.

She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.

Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.

So of course the @NYTimes finds some reason to attack her.

They hate her because she shows what can be done.

NOW STREAMING: EARTH'S GREATEST ENEMY

The Pentagon consumes more oil than most countries, spreads toxic destruction worldwide, and is exempt from accountability.

@AbbyMartin's new film exposes the ecological crimes of US militarism and the system protecting them.

Not only does Kaja Kallas whitewash US imperialism in Latin America, but she does so in a speech delivered in Mexico — one of the region’s fiercest critics of US imperialism.

The lack of self-awareness is astonishing. It is embarrassing that this is Europe’s top diplomat.

Taking medical supplies to pediatric hospitals in Cuba is now a crime? Saving the lives of babies is a crime? This administration is beyond grotesque.

🇺🇸/IRAN - I'm watching far too many fall again for the same trick - the US pretends to make peace with Iran while "Israel" is left angry & resolute to attack Iran "alone."

Just like Ukraine, literally no Israeli military op can take place without complete & constant US backing.

An entire chapter in a US policy paper was dedicated to having Israel attack Iran on the US' behalf.

Despite this trick being exposed, it has been used multiple times from 2024-2026 (spanning both the Biden and Trump administrations), millions have still fallen for it over & over again including  analysts.

Cognitive infiltration led by those like Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson & others in the so called "alternative media" repeatedly claiming "Israel controls the US" despite this being absolutely absurd (how could the US make peace with Iran in the first place if Israel holds so much power over the US?) shows how much is being invested in this & how confident US policy makers are that the public can't see through it despite the policy being written out in detail in signed & dated policy papers.

Prove them wrong - that you can see through it - and that you won't fall for it yet again.
