You should side with the Oppressed in their fight against the Oppressor.

One side is a settler-colonial ethnostate with the backing of all major colonial nation states in the world.

One side is a displaced, imprisoned, starved, dehumanized population.

It's not complicated.

Mainstream western media: any sense of journalism ethics left in your veins?

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Have the outraged people seen what Gaza has been turned into? What the West Bank is being turned into?
The genocide is already happening. And it is not too late to stop it.

Unlike others, I do see the way forward for Palestinians and Israelis, but it requires that as many Israelis as possible, right now, turn their gears toward saving Palestinian life. And do that every day until the monstruosity Israel is fully engaged with, is over.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

There is basically a media blackout on this story about Amnesty’s annual report. Nothing from NYT, CNN, AP, Reuters, WaPo, BBC…

If the largest human rights organization in the world saying Israel is carrying out a LIVE-STREAMED GENOCIDE in Gaza isn’t newsworthy, what is?

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Remember when Biden officials told you over and over for months that they were working “around the clock” for a ceasefire and Hamas was the only obstacle?

Remember EYES ON RAFAH?

This is Rafah now.

How is this a ceasefire for Palestinians?

Today in Gaza Today in West Bank

Two tweets almost a year apart to the day. Arab American votes were meaningless when there was still time to pressure the Biden admin to change policy, now they are all important when someone needs to be blamed

[Hanine Hassan حنين @Hanine09]

Gaza did indeed swallow the monster & expose it. Historians of Palestine continuously want to write Palestine’s history as one of victimhood to appeal to genocidal Western governments, but Gaza is also the graveyard of Israeli tanks and bodies. That history should be documented

[Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا @SMohyeddin]

Footage of skulls & decomposed rib cages & femurs and feet are now coming out of Gaza. Make no mistake why Israel isn’t allowing international journalists to enter. It has nothing to do with security.

[Falastin Flip @TOliveFern]

LMAO it happened again 😂

They were rigging Palestinian homes for demolition before a Palestinian fighter targeted the building with an RPG which triggered their explosives and killed them

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

The Israeli occupation army released footage documenting the abduction of 240 Palestinian civilians during its storming of Kamal Adwan Hospital on Friday morning, including patients and medical staff.

The footage included an image of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, being summoned by the Israeli occupation forces after the hospital was surrounded and stormed, with civilians and patients trapped inside.

Dr. Muneer Al-Borsh, the director of the Ministry of Health, confirmed that they are still unaware of the fate of the civilians and medical staff members who were abducted during the Israeli occupation forces’ storming of Kamal Adwan Hospital.

[CODEPINK @codepink]

We are witnessing a holocaust.

[Kavita Algu @KavitaAlguMD]

Palestinian health workers are facing what a @UN official has called “one of the most criminal armies in the world”.

These systematic attacks on health and health workers are unprecedented in our lifetime.

This last picture of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya shows him in his white coat facing two 🇮🇱 tanks on hospital grounds. He was stripped, beaten and kidnapped –his whereabouts now unknown.

The very least global medical organizations could do is:
– condemn these barbaric crimes
– call on our governments to stop providing the weapons
– stop investing in the companies that support this #genocide

@ian_joo_korea @garicgymro That is very much not true. You've been misinformed.

In fact reducing a universal grammatical constraint to an explanation that does not itself look like a grammatical fact is the dream. I don't know why you think we're opposed to it.

[Max Papillon @MaxPapillon1]

@langofmind Why the F are they training LLMs on solved problems like arithmetic? All this effort would be so much better invested in making the LLM able to use external classical computing resources like a calculator, but I guess that's too modularity-pilled for the Zeitgeist.

@colin_fraser Fun! I tried something similar a while ago.

ChatGPT is so overtrained with riddles and logic puzzles that it just completely fumbles them if you make small changes that would presumably make them easier for a human.

[Max Papillon @MaxPapillon1]

@Brehove @colin_fraser what? to the contrary, this shows that LLMs don't understand what they're doing and pnly make statistics-based guesses
