[Duncan Watts @dncnwtts]

Big news! I’ve been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for my project Origins! Thanks to @ERC_Research, I will spend the next five years unveiling the Cosmic Infrared Background, along with my new postdoc and two PhD students. Keep an eye out for job openings at @UniOslo!

From @astrobites: The genocide in Gaza demands our attention and our action. As astronomers and members of the global scientific community, we cannot ignore the immense suffering and devastation inflicted upon our colleagues.

BREAKING: Anat Schwartz, one of the principal authors of the NYT "mass rape" atrocity propaganda hoax, not only expressed support for genocidal mass murder of Palestinians right before they gave her that job, but also served in the Israeli military's intelligence service

Doctors Without Borders says children as young as 5 in Gaza have told them they want to die

If you're just tuning in, Israeli intelligence ignored mountains of information that the October 7 attack was coming and left Israelis completely undefended, then the IDF killed significant numbers of Israelis with indiscriminate fire and pinned the blame for 100% of Israeli deaths on Hamas, and all those deaths are now being used as justification to push Gazans off their land to the south and shoot them if they try to return while Israeli officials keep talking about how great it would be to get all Palestinians out of all of Gaza.

[Dylan Williams @dylanotes]

Israel’s Intelligence Minister just wrote an op-ed advocating for the permanent displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and that other countries pay for it.

That would be ethnic cleansing — a crime against humanity.

@POTUS must ensure US aid and arms are not used in such crimes.

New Interview: I talked to the Holocaust historian Omer Bartov about how genocide has been defined historically, as well as his concerns about Israel’s actions in Gaza and rhetoric about Palestinians. https://t.co/qXgW6CJKPs

Israeli soldiers pointed guns at NPR reporters. It detained, questioned + mocked their interviewee, a Palestinian farmer. The farmer was showing NPR his land, which the IDF won't let him access, causing him to lose income he earns from selling olives.

Biden: I don't believe Palestine's self-reported death toll

Biden's own diplomats: It's actually much higher

Israeli officials: Yeah, we k*lled DOUBLE that many

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

All that fake moral panic about the meaning of “from the river,” and Israeli government ministers are just like ‘we’re doing a Gaza Nakba’ — yet crickets in the US about what’s obviously happening.

[Sharona Mazalian @SharonaMazalian]

IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari revealed today that Hamas' main operation is based under the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

Many details of what transpired on October 7 continue to be shrouded in mystery, including how the 1,400 Israelis who died that day were killed. A growing number of reports indicate the Israeli military was responsible for some of those deaths.

i don’t know about you, but if somebody changes their story about bombing a hospital multiple times, edits their social media posts, brags about doing it on other accounts in different languages, after saying they’ll do it over and over again, i think that they actually did it.

“Israel would never bomb a hospital”

@cosmic_mar It seems real (https://t.co/BREenn9219), I have half a mind to reach out with a Concept

New cosmic birefringence (CB) paper! We look for CB in the improved Cosmoglobe reprocessed maps of WMAP and LFI Planck. We find a weak signal (1.9sigma) in the synchrotron-dominated maps where instrumental uncertainties are now also taken into account https://t.co/PAdbKDolRY 1/2
