israelis are much like americans in that they think their biggest problem is just their leadership and not the fundamental culture of their society

I guess society at large has simply decided sex crimes are no big deal. Like shoplifting a candy bar

I’m constantly astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.

So apparently Pokémon Go has been helping drones murder people in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran?

1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR.

THE ANSWER WAS NO.

The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought.

The European Commission's official response:
- It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far
- Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second.
- The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games
- Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have

1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings.

And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not.

Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it.

If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.

New today: Peter Thiel's secret society of illuminati had a website so insecure it exposed his entire membership list. And it's... interesting. His Palatantir folks, sure. Leonard Leo. The president of Stanford. Ezra Klein. And some D politicians who really shouldn't be there. 1/

En la Italia fascista de Meloni alguien llamó a los bomberos para retirar una bandera Palestina izada en el monumento Emanuele Filiberto, en la plaza de San Carlos de Turín.

El bombero subió y lejos de retirarla, la ondeo entre aplausos...

Palestina, el mundo está contigo.

The Netherlands actually demanded Indonesia to pay over 6 billion Dutch guilders (debt incurred by the Dutch East Indies govt) as the price for Indonesia's independence. The two sides eventually agreed on 4.3b guilders (US$15.9b today). Indonesia only finished paying it in 2003

🚨 BREAKING: Lebanon files UN Security Council complaint accusing I$rael of violating the Chemical Weapons Convention in the south

Lab tests from Aita al-Shaab, Naqoura, and Dhaira confirmed catastrophic levels of Glyphosate—a cancer-linked chemical—in agricultural soil.

Normal farming levels would show 0.5 to 2 mcg/g but tests on soil in South Lebanon show 22,750 mcg/g, 11,000 times above safe levels

It has been labeled by some as a deliberate war crime designed to permanently destroy arable border lands.

Here is our report from the scene filmed in February

The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property

The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.

I actually AM clicking the tiny x to close the phone game ad correctly each and every time. The ad companies just got so mad that I'm perfect at tapping the tiny xs that they programmed the ad to ignore attempts to close them and just open the link to the app store anyway.

To become rich from curing cancer, you have to withhold the cure from people suffering and dying from cancer. So yes, you don't deserve to get rich from curing cancer. Only in an exploitative and unethical system is this seen as acceptable.

They’re coming for everyone’s homes because you let them do it in Palestine

[george @idobadtakes]

No they won’t. The tech oligarchs are the most useless set of elites imaginable. No set of rich people in American history have been as useless a drain on society as they have

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

UFC is having a massive year with a $7.7 billion Paramount deal and a $60 million fight at the White House.

But while CEO Dana White makes millions, fans get skyrocketing ticket prices and fighters are locked into exploitative contracts.

It's a $23 billion monopoly.

I want a refund on every minute I spent in 8th grade learning that monopolies are illegal and that our government would protect us from greedy men....

Weird as it may sound, THIS might be one of the best articles you can read in order to digestibly understand Israeli society. It touches on everything: The post-90s hippie aesthetic, the made up "PTSD" bullshit, the Israeli delusion that the world thinks they're (cont)
