Clive helped groom Diddy to be the op he's been, Clive was an op and ops can see opportunity, talent, ambition, innocence even beauty, especially black beauty, as they monetize and destroy it

James Blake took to his Instagram story to call out the state of the music industry's metrics, one by one.

"Can't trust a review because blogs/mags stopped making money so journalists now get paid off by labels…can’t trust a comment section…YouTube numbers…streaming numbers…Can’t even trust a song that was made by human beings,” he wrote. Read his full note below.

@jamesblake concluded with a message to artists: "You're probably doing better than you think."

The largest concentration camp in the world; more than 170,000 tents cover Gaza, says @Tamer_Alnoaizy — an israeli-engineered nightmare

[Jan☭🇵🇸 @GodandtheBear]

Remember the people who were saying if they let go of the hostages and stop bombing Israel it all stops and yet it hasn't stopped for not one day.

I saw children with their faces ripped off from Israeli attacks and you fuckers called it “self-defense”

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.

Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.

Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.

In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.

These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.

To clear up any confusion:

There are TWO bans on under 16's access to social media in the UK. The first is at the app level and this comes into play next year. It will require selected social media apps to prompt for age verification when accessing them.

The second more insidious one is happening much sooner. This one is the 'nudity detection' feature and this one operates on device level. It will require every adult to show a form of ID in order to operate their phones and tablets without restrictions/monitoring.

The voluntary deadlines to tech companies to implement this is around early September this year.

If Apple, Google and others don’t implement device-level monitoring by then, the government has said it will bring forward legislation to make it mandatory.

People saying "Just use a VPN!" are not understanding how this works.

[chloe @Dykeocletian]

People making the point that this is about creeping authoritarianism aimed at adults, which it is, but the ongoing crusade for "parent's rights" e.g. to reaffirm that children are the property of their parents and deserve zero autonomy whatsoever is also a crucial aspect of this.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

As a (welcomed but fragile) deal with Iran is announced, keep an eye on Palestine. Whenever Israel is forcibly restrained elsewhere in the region, it notoriously takes out its frustration on the people it can brutalize with virtually no cost.

[Linda Mamoun @mamoun_linda]

Israel is destroying every single home in the southern 40 miles of Lebanon.

This is not “targeting Hezbollah strongholds.”

These are Christian villages and Sunni villages and Shia villages where people have lived for centuries.
