How MAGA-Inspired Politics Are Reshaping Japan and South Korea
A culture war playbook honed by American conservatives is finding new life in East Asia, reports @eleonorazocca for @newlinesmag today https://t.co/9y7kXe2WBq

1/ S. Korea's entire media establishment across political spectrum has united in unprecedented editorial consensus expressing profound betrayal, outrage, national humiliation, and fundamental breach of US-ROK alliance re: mass arrest of Korean workers at Hyundai's Georgia plant.
Israel is a nuclear armed genocidal rogue state which has
- Wiped Gaza from the face of the earth
- Committing a massive pogrom in the West Bank
- Devastated Lebanon
- Invaded Syria
- Launched a new war of aggression against Iran
What an Orwellian world we live in. Israel launches a clearly illegal and unprovoked attack on Iran, in violation of the U.N. charter, and with no imminent Iran attack in sight, or any Iranian nukes developed, and its western allies come out to say they reaffirm *Israel’s* right to defend itself, not Iran’s. The aggressor’s, not the victim of the illegal attack.
This, I guess, is the west’s ’rules-based international order.’
Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.
This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.
Anything to say @Keir_Starmer or @vonderleyen?
I do not think i have words to express the situation on the ground
Reporting in Gaza is so hard because there is no dictionary to describe the situation
Israele ha demolito il piccolo villaggio di Khalet Dabaa a Masafer Yatta (Cisgiordania). Ha raso al suolo 9 case, 6 grotte, 10 cisterne d'acqua, 4 stalle, una cabina elettrica, l'impianto solare e il centro comunitario lasciando in piedi solo 3 strutture e la scuola.
It's profoundly depressing seeing all the Studio Ghibli-styled AI output tacitly being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to one of our greatest-ever animators and artists
The violence in Amsterdam last night has been widely described as a pogrom against Jews. This is not only misleading but politically dangerous. A thread.
Che cosa è successo ieri sera ad #Amsterdam? I media si stanno concentrando molto sulle gravi violenze contro i tifosi israeliani, ma sottovalutano un contesto di tensioni, provocazioni e aggressioni commesse anche dai fan del Maccabi Tel Aviv. Proviamo a spiegare. 🧵
Invece di abbandonare Twitter (sic) leggete un libro.
Questo per esempio.
Potrebbe sollevarvi il morale, sostiene che l’unica possibilità di salvezza per l’umanità è abbandonare il capitalismo e intraprendere la via del comunismo della decrescita.
Sulla scorta di Karl Marx.
Quando Laterza mi ha chiesto di scrivere un libro su alcune parole giapponesi, mi sono tuffata nel compito di farne una selezione per racchiudere in undici stazioni un viaggio ambizioso che si presenta lungo e non privo di deviazioni, nella storia e nella cultura del Giappone.
la sospensione di #christianraimo dall'insegnamento è l'ultimo sintomo del clima mutato. ormai la statistica è nutrita. ma una novità c'è: adesso sappiamo che neppure l'insegnamento è compatibile con le convinzioni politiche.
