If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, your wedding vows (!), I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Pretty sure David Bowie is the only actor to work with Lynch, Scorsese, and Nolan, which really just solidifies him as the coolest guy to ever live

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This isn't just any report by a fringe organization: this is the United Nations - which, lest you forget, under the Charter signed by the entire world is supposed to represent the ultimate international legal authority - now officially saying that Israel is committing genocide.

And not in a small way: while the Genocide Convention requires proof of just ONE "prohibited act with genocidal intent" to establish genocide, they found Israel guilty of FOUR separate categories:
- killing Palestinians
- causing them serious bodily and mental harm
- deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy them
- imposing measures to prevent Palestinian births
- they also found that Israeli President Herzog, PM Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Gallant personally incited genocide - meaning the genocidal intent goes straight to the top

In other words, this is textbook, systematic, intended genocide according to the UN's own investigation.

We all know however that, while all nations - including the U.S. and Israel - have signed up to the UN Charter, the actual world order is VERY different from what's written on paper. What's happening in Gaza is making this eminently clear: a UN investigation can meticulously document genocide using the very legal standards the world agreed upon after the Holocaust, and yet said genocide will continue unabated.

Heck, without a doubt the states legally obligated to prevent genocide will instead work overtime to discredit the UN. The very institutions created to prevent another Holocaust will ironically be demolished for identifying one.

What we are seeing in South Korea right now is not just a moving example of democracy but also an important reminder of how strong historical education can empower people to not repeat the worst of its history.
