It’s my conspiracy theory, and I’m sticking to it until I see convincing evidence to the contrary.

@ShabanianAram Anecdotally, I’ve seen a lot of vegetation fires along corridors this summer (I-205 & I-405, mostly). A fire near Tilikum crossing would’ve been kinda fun to see, honestly.

@kellowaves @tatertotsconor I’ve been there. I don’t know how to compare the experience to anywhere else in the U.S. but I can say that it was less of a hostile vibe than walking through Loyalist neighborhoods in Belfast as a non-white person.

This is a wild failure of imagination in a world where “meat wave” attacks and child sex trafficking exist. Have you even seen humans?

[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

Saying that everyone has to shut up about an active genocide because it is ruining the vibes of your political movement is so nihilistic that I really can't believe any human who lives and breaths could even imagine thinking it.

Yesterday, the Russian army destroyed the Nestor Makhno museum located in his birthplace Huliaipole.

Makhno was a Ukrainian anarchist and leader of the peasant movement 1917-22.

Netanyahu had a very unpleasant and somewhat shocking meeting with the hostage families. It was recorded and leaked to the press. Sara Netanyahu also joined the fray with some controversial comments. Netanyahu and wife did not win any points for this. Here are the exchanges that made headlines in Israel.

Released Hostage: "We went through difficult things. I was beaten. I was tortured. More cruelty than we experienced is impossible in my opinion, Enough. I can't stand that he is suffering there. I can't stand that the women are suffering."

Son of a hostage: Do you understand that there are girls being raped now? Because Biden understands that."

Netanyahu: "Hearing your stories is shocking. I went through a captivity training session. I was beaten, but it didn't affect me much, because I knew it was a drill. So I get hit, it hurts, I knew it was a drill. That I am not really in danger and that adds to the suffering."

Hostage daughter: " You can be remembered as the one who led the country to a better place or as the one who wreaked havoc here. You are the prime minister and you are responsible for the abductees, not Hamas and not anyone else. You are supposed to reach a deal that will bring all the abductees.”

Netanyahu: "What’re you proposing that I do?” Netanyahu responded.

Hostage daughter:“I’m proposing that you sign a deal that will bring the hostages home. There’s a deal on the table!”

Netanyahu: "What deal? Which deal? Whoever told you that there was a [hostage-ceasefire] deal on the table and that we didn’t take it for this reason or that reason, for personal reasons, it’s just a lie.”

"There are many things we want and they’re hard to get. For example, I’d like to walk to Italy on foot in a straight line… so if that’s what we need to do, it means drying up the ocean, so ‘let’s dry up the ocean, what’s the problem?’"

Released hostage: "I didn't get an apology from you."

Another released hostage: "And you didn't take the blame."

Sara Netanyahu: "There is also the army."

Released hostage:" Who is the leader? He runs the army. He is responsible."

Sara Netanyahu: "They don't tell him anything. How is he supposed to know?"

She then complained about being demonized by the media for being Netanyahu's wife: “I was Sara Ben Arzi, and no one told lies about me. I lived a normal life."

Released hostage: “I also lived a normal life until I was kidnapped with my partner.”

The amazing ability of the Netanyahu's to make the suffering of the hostages about themselves and deny that there is a deal on the table is really staggering. No wonder the trust between the hostage families and the Prime Minister is at such a low ebb.

🇲🇱 #Mali: Tuareg insurgents in Mali have stated that #Russia has yet to contact them regarding the status of Wagner mercenaries captured near the border of #Algeria last month. The insurgents have claimed openness to negotiations regarding the release of the prisoners, but have reportedly not been contacted for negotiation. The Russian state has declined to comment on the fate of the mercenaries thus far.

@GravitysRa1nbow She’s possibly the most philosophically consistent presidential candidate we’ve seen in a while. FWIW, everything comes back to her belief in a human right to safety.

You can say what you want about how she examines that concept, but at least it’s an ethos.

[David Nwa’eze @davnwaeze]

@wartranslated To be fair… why would anyone ask Germany for feedback on fighting in Kursk?

[David Nwa’eze @davnwaeze]

@GravitysRa1nbow …but I totally understand how that’s not remotely clear, yet.

[David Nwa’eze @davnwaeze]

@GravitysRa1nbow It’s certainly notable to folks with any kind of formal education in international relations or diplomacy. I can see how it seems like “just talk” for laymen, though.
I would be astonished at this point if Harris wasn’t more likely to take a harder line with Israel after winning.

[David Nwa’eze @davnwaeze]

@GravitysRa1nbow And I’m not even saying that it’s an easy pivot or that it wouldn’t be utter political suicide during the general election. But it’s not surprising that critics of the Biden administration’s handling of the situation in Gaza are unswayed by this week’s statements on it at the DNC

[David Nwa’eze @davnwaeze]

@GravitysRa1nbow The problem for the Democrats is that “working tirelessly for a ceasefire” rings a bit hollow while arms are still being supplied by the same administration.

Sisyphus is working tirelessly to get to the top of the hill. It’d be a lot easier if he ditched the rock.
