In these sad times, I would like to assert a straightforward principle that holds true for me: anyone who takes the life of human beings is a criminal, irrespective of their nationality or religious affiliation, and they will never garner my support or empathy!

​#Apple dropping updates for the gorgeous late 2013 iMac while the hardware runs flawlessly is unacceptable.

@dhh @theAnoopLamba @OmarchyLinux To be fair, Google announced the switch to Antigravity at I/O on May 19th and gave a full 30-day grace period before deprecating the old Gemini CLI. Definitely not a grand ceremony, but a month was plenty of time to transition without breaking workflows.

Vcs já pararam pra pensar que o atleta negro americano Jesse Owens entrou mais fácil na Alemanha Nazista para disputar as Olimpíadas de 1936 do que o atacante iraquiano Aymen Hussein para disputar a Copa de 2026 nos EUA?

@PalestineDays How many more children and families have to die before Western “leaders” say enough is enough to #Netanyahu’s deranged zealot freaks?

24 killed in one day and still the silence continues.

These “human” beings do not even deserve a comment. 🤢

Ce n'est pas un fake ! Pour son 50e anniversaire, l’épouse du malade mental #BenGvir lui a offert un gâteau représentant un nœud coulant de corde de pendaison ! Ces gens sont des démons, ils ne sont pas humains c'est clair.

One of the most heartbreaking examples of nonverbal communication to emerge from Iran.
I cannot call this a mere propaganda piece. It is the unbearable truth, laid bare through the profound art of cinematography and animation.

A household earning $52K but spending $73K runs a $21K yearly #deficit. Now add $1.36M in #debt vs just $60K in assets—that’s a $1.3M hole. By any honest accounting, that household is insolvent. That’s the reality of #UncleSam.

#Oil surging. War drums over #Iran. Months after the #US move in #Venezuela — the world’s largest reserves — now flowing under Washington’s watch.

Destabilize one region, secure supply in another. Energy dominance first, narratives later.

Join the dots.

Donald Trump’s decision not to refill the stockpile drained by his predecessor Joe Biden has left consumers exposed to an oil price shock following the US-Israeli attacks on Iran, analysts have warned. https://t.co/bLqBPBNBNT

🚨 BREAKING: President Donald Trump announces that the U.S. is conducting military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran

Trump says he is taking out all of Iran's missiles, their entire navy, and their nuclear program

He calls on Iranians to rise up now and overthrow their government

Trump calls on the IRGC to lay down their arms or they will be killed

While the "middle power" coalition is serious work, likely @GiorgiaMeloni misinterprets. 🤌
Carney is talking about geopolitical survival; Rome #Priorities are reminding us that if you are on the menu, it better be Carbonara and it better be authentic! 🤦

#Italy #StayOffTheMenu

[Patrick Bellasi @derkling]

Thoughtful Carney’s message at ​#Davos2026: bilateralism with hegemons is a performance of sovereignty that ends in subordination. #MiddlePowers resilience is the only path forward.
​If we aren't at the table together, we're on the menu alone. 🇨🇦🤝🌎

The voice of one of the two #Knesset representatives who were not allowed to display even a simple sign asking to #RecognizePalestin during yesterday's "celebrations".
What more can be said?! #Amen!

[Ofer Cassif עופר כסיף عوفر كسيف @ofercass]

What we witnessed yesterday in the Knesset was one of the greatest disgraces in modern politics.
A grotesque spectacle of adulation, sycophancy, and herd-like personality worship, on both sides of the aisle, coalition and opposition alike, for two violent, megalomaniac tyrants whose deceit is their craft.

Tyrannical war criminals and charlatans applauding each other for their “great work” after destroying the lives of two million people in Gaza, killing over twenty thousand children, and causing the deaths of dozens of Israeli hostages and hundreds of Israeli soldiers.

Anyone still wondering how the tyrant remains in power need only look at the nauseating servility of the so-called opposition, and will understand everything.

Oh, and let’s not forget:
Recognize Palestin!

Istruzione non è memorizzare che Hitler ha ucciso 6 milioni di ebrei.
Istruzione è capire come è stato possibile che milioni di tedeschi fossero convinti che fosse necessario farlo.
Istruzione è imparare a riconoscere i segni della storia quando si ripete."

[alberto negri @negrialbe]

Il colonialismo straccione di Trump
Gli Usa offrono, secondo i media, 5mila dollari a ogni palestinese che se va: nel 2023 il Pil pro capite di Gaza era di quasi 2900 dollari. Chi rimane potrà lavorare, sotto autorità Usa e militari isrealiani, nella Disneyland di Gaza Riviera mentre verrà disintegrato lo stato palestinese in Cisgiordania. La realtà immediata è che i palestinesi verranno confinati in campi di concentramento.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

U.S. military veteran Anthony Aguilar, who worked as a security contractor at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, says he was horrified by war crimes being carried out against starving Palestinians. "The sites have not only become death traps, they were designed as death traps."

[Patrick Bellasi @derkling]

July 2025 #BTSemReport concludes: #Israel is committing #genocide in #Gaza through mass killing, destruction, displacement, and the erasure of Palestinian life and identity.

This is not self-defense; it is deliberate!
The world must act now to stop it.

Because obviously, the best place to decide the fate of #EU economic #sovereignty is over cocktails at a #billionaire’s private #golf course!?

Really reassuring to see our #leaders standing tall… or at least standing somewhere near the 9th hole.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Following a good call with @POTUS, we have agreed to meet in Scotland on Sunday to discuss transatlantic trade relations, and how we can keep them strong.

[Patrick Bellasi @derkling]

Keep smiling when asked about 20,000 children killed? Unfathomable. It certainly makes you question the education and humanity of some individuals. History will remember this shamelessness. #Accountability #Humanity #GazaGenocide

[Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis @DrLoupis__]

Israeli Jew, Daniella Weiss refuses to express empathy for 20,000+ murdered Palestinian children.

In broader statements, she's calling to "erase" Gaza, remove all Arabs, and burn Palestinian towns for settlements.

This is Zionism.

A stand-up comic making more sense than world leaders? You know we're in truly wild times when it takes a comedian to call out the hypocrisy! #OddTimes #Hypocrisy #WorldLeaders #GazaGenocide
