That embarrassing moment when the US and Britain decided it would be a good idea to vote against the UN resolution for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

And still some people think these are the good guys.....

LOL the ability to off the cuff deliver a blow like this is *extremely* rare in politics

@grovymango This is the only response to Toy Story as far as I’m concerned

There is an American think tank for every mystery that isn't a mystery.

Why does Iran have a nuclear program? Twelve scholars, four reports, two conferences, one documentary on PBS.

Answer available without a think tank:

The United States overthrew their government in 1953, backed the Shah's secret police for more than two decades, supported Saddam Hussein when he used chemical weapons against Iranians in the 1980s, has maintained crushing economic sanctions for nearly half a century.

And two sovereign states that abandoned or dismantled their nuclear programs, Iraq and Libya, were subsequently invaded or bombed into chaos.

That's not analysis. That's a sequence of events that any Iranian government, of any ideology, would respond to in roughly the same way.

But the think tank exists because the answer cannot be we gave them every rational reason to want a deterrent.

That answer has consequences.

That answer implies accountability.

That answer walks five feet into common sense and common sense leads somewhere nobody in that building wants to go.

So instead:

Scholars. Reports. Conferences. Documentaries.

The mystery is maintained.

The machinery keeps running.

The budget gets renewed.

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.

@vdysseys this is a nice flex btw

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

A new UN Commission of Inquiry report released today documents the toll of Israel's war on Gaza and its occupation of the West Bank on Palestinian children, not just those killed, but the tens of thousands left to survive it.

Al Jazeera’s @leilashww and @Hind_Gaza report.

libraries were a good start, but we need more places where people can't talk.

Hayao Miyazaki once said that love is two people inspiring each other to live. And living is more than simply existing, it’s noticing the beauty in ordinary moments, finding wonder in the everyday, and being fully present in your life. To love someone is to awaken that sense of awe in them, to make the simple act of being alive feel meaningful. I can’t think of a better way to describe it.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

This report is haunting even for someone who has documented the most horrific aspects of this genocide - which too many world leaders pretend not to see.

I commend the Commission of Inquiry for its effort to bring about accountability and make the truth accessible.

Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. https://t.co/FEmCrdQ392
