News Corporation's decades-long support for Israel is reflected in its coverage of Israel–Palestine, reducing its complexities to a black and white issue. @MRicketson @Deakin @unimelb https://t.co/5CqB0cQlv9

Gina Rinehart - Pauline Hanson's financial backer & policy advisor - wants to give Aboriginal land to Israel & Elon Musk for them to develop weapons of mass destruction...

How is this not front page news???

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

During Refugee Week, support organisations act like marketing PR machines, real estate agents, or salespeople, raising funds for non-refugee careers rather than sustaining our lives. Do we still want to be part of the “Refugee Week” & “Refugee Day” circus, to entertain you more?”

Americans love cars because they combine their two favorite things: sitting down and killing people

This is why I have so much beef with AI tools being pitched for the first draft— for design and writing.
It’s too clean, too final looking, it’ll close so many creative doors.

That first draft you grit through will connect you more deeply to your project than any other step.

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

We can finally stop pretending we don’t know how OpenAI and the rest of the Silicon Valley AI cartel intend to stay profitable.
The answer is, and always has been, war.

If you consider the monstrous infrastructure required to sustain these systems.
We are talking about colossal, billion-dollar data centers.
We are talking about tens of millions of dollars burned daily just on cooling systems, the relentless, devastating strip-mining of the earth for rare-earth metals to build their GPUs, and the astronomical power consumption required to train these massive models.

Then you'd realise that there is absolutely no way they are recouping hundreds of billions of dollars from $20 monthly subscriptions and a handful of API tokens.
Every single wire, every server farm, and every algorithm was designed from the ground up for military contracts, autonomous weapons, and global surveillance.

Mega-corporations are the true, unmasked face of evil we need to fear and not the pathetic, spineless puppet politicians they buy, lobby, and install into power to act as their PR mouthpieces.

People condemn the "British Empire" for its savage imperialism in Nigeria, completely forgetting the Royal Niger Company, the ruthless, profit-driven private corporation that actually bought, sold, and brutalized the region while hiding behind a corporate charter.

People remember Hitler as the singular monster of the Holocaust, but they conveniently grant amnesia to IBM, who built the punch-card tracking systems that organized the extermination camps.
They forget JP Morgan, British Petroleum, Standard Oil, IG Farben, and the rest of the corporate titans that funded the fascist machine, supplied the fuel, and provided the logistical backbone that made such an industrialized horror a reality.

People blame George W. Bush for the Iraq War which turned into dirty slaughterhouse that eradicated millions of Arab lives and sacrificed thousands of American troops.
But they conveniently look the other way when it comes to Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and the rest of the defense and oil conglomerates that bathed in the blood of the Middle East and walked away pocketing hundreds of billions of dollars.

You look at these slick, modern corporations with their fancy campuses and you wonder how they sustain their endless wealth? The answer is terror, the answer is wars and endless wars.

If the American hegemony were to miraculously collapse tomorrow, do you really think the wars would stop? Nope, not even for a second.

These corporate parasites hold no loyalty to any flag.
They will simply and happily pack up, migrate to another global superpower, change their letterheads, shuffle a few board members, and continue spreading terror and devastation across the globe to feed their own insatiable greed.
It is an endless cycle of parasitic migration: from Britain, to Germany, and then directly into the veins of America.

America today will beat its chest on the global stage, claiming to be the supreme fighter of "Antisemitism" and the supreme defender of human rights.

Yet they conveniently omit that after World War II, under Operation Paperclip, the United States gleefully absorbed the very architects of the Nazi regime.
It was the exact same fascist scientists, the complicit corporate bankers, the brutal intelligence officers, the chemical engineers, and the rocket manufacturers who facilitated the Holocaust that moved to America.
The US swallowed them whole, along with their blood-stained equipment, their stolen trade secrets, and their patents.

The only difference now is the crosshairs. Their target is no longer European Jews; the crosshairs are fixed squarely on the rest of the Global South. The names of the companies and their leaders have all changed, but the core, venomous philosophy of absolute imperialism is still very much alive, breathing, and hungry for its next war.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

Exactly correct. The billionaire class is an economic tumor that has metastasized to every major organ in civilization in search of growth at all costs. The primary characteristic they share is psychopathy—they see humans as disposable objects. They are eating us alive.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Instagram removed a story showing injured children in Gaza from today, calling it “child nudity.”

They’re trying so hard to suppress evidence of Israel’s genocide.

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

The Zionist clampdown on mass media is how they plan to “reset” younger generations away from the great awakening. I have no doubt this exact wording has been used in their strategy meetings. Next, anti Zionist media will emerge and become popular. And the Zionist agenda will find ways to clamp down again - through a combination of policies and restrictions and criminalization.

[CrémantCommunarde #GreenTransitionNow💚 @0Calamity]

Actual politicians behaving like 4Chan trolls, live on television.
The far right are dangerous because they lie and lie and lie, shamelessly.
They don't care about facts.
There is no point in arguing with them, because their goal is to flood media with fake news.
It is time journalists got some balls and started calling them liars to their faces, on television.
You cannot treat psychopaths with kid gloves and reason with them. They are not there to be reasonable.

Data centres could consume more water than every person on earth and produce emissions equal to the United Kingdom annual total by 2030, a United Nations report has found.

So Lebanon is next and no one is doing anything. Again.

When the military response invariably happens, don’t you dare call it terrorism. Don’t you dare.

Shut them all down, we can live without AI data centers we can’t live without clean water.
