bringing back this iconic video where satoshi kon called out this shameless thief, who openly admitted it was a homage to him while fully aware he never gave him credit
This was done inside a student residence. Security blocked students and staff from accessing their own homes for this event. The water used came from the residences. During the 40°C heatwave, students couldn't access their own park to cool off or their homes to escape the heat
Irish athlete Ciara Mageean says she was subjected to a wave of abusive messages on social media after publicly condemning Israel’s ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
The messages reportedly included hateful comments wishing her death from cancer and targeted her health after she revealed her own battle with the disease.
Mageean also said she was accused of antisemitism for criticizing the genocide and calling for Israel to be excluded from international sporting events.
Don't think for a moment that anyone in Gaza is "used to this."

Children never get used to spending their summer waiting in line for water. This should be the season of school holidays, beach days, amusement parks, football with friends, and afternoons spent making memories.
Instead, they're carrying heavy jerry cans under the scorching sun, walking long distances to bring water back to their families. They're learning to ration every drop before they're old enough to understand why they have to.
The Sameer Project is working every day to make water more accessible through our daily water distributions, and we're building a desalination plant that will produce hundreds of thousands of liters of new, clean water each day for Gaza.
Help us bring water closer to the families who need it most. And help us give children back a little more time to be children.

Ms. Rachel says many celebrities have refsued to sign petition literally just to not put kids in immigration detention centers (ICE)
"I’m disappointed that so many celebrities were contacted to sign our petition literally just to not put kids in immigration detention centers that we know harm them - and many said no"
For decades, #Gaza stood as a beacon of hope, with a steadily declining illiteracy rate and a growing generation of dreamers.
Now, 700,000 students haven’t been in school for two years, after Israeli attacks destroyed or damaged around 90% of schools, and many classrooms were turned into shelters for displaced families. Instead of desks, these children now stand in long lines, waiting for water, for a hot meal.
The genocide isn’t just about the destruction of buildings, it’s about a whole generation having their education, their future, stolen.
BLOCKED
The self-proclaimed champion of ‘free speech absolutism’ has begun blocking Defend Our Juries content on the grounds of “terrorism”.
A number of videos in which people vocally oppose genocide and support Palestine Action have been censored on Elon Musk’s X.
Children.
Let that sink in.
According to a new UN inquiry, Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
No government, army, ideology, or political argument can make the killing, starvation, displacement, and traumatizing of children morally acceptable. A world that excuses the destruction of children has lost its moral center.
We must not grow numb. We must demand an end to genocide, protection for Palestinian children, unrestricted humanitarian aid, accountability for these atrocities, and every child’s right to live in dignity, safety, and peace.

Activist Greta Thunberg appeared in a Copenhagen court on Wednesday to face trespassing charges stemming from a 2024 pro-Palestinian demonstration at Copenhagen University.
Thunberg pleaded not guilty. A verdict is expected by Thursday.
In #Gaza, over 63,000 girls and boys are taking part in classes run by UNRWA in Temporary Learning Spaces in 77 of the Agency's shelters.
But these locations are no substitute for schools. Children need proper classrooms where they can learn, grow and rebuild a sense of normalcy.
For more than 75 years, UNRWA has provided #Palestine Refugee children with quality education. The Agency needs to go back to teaching them in schools, to help build their future.
