Stanning Dua Lipa has really never disappointed me lmaoooo

the fact that we witnessed this in real time and yet the world is still so silent is absolutely enraging

I don’t want a city on Mars. I don’t want AI in every app. I don’t want data centres in space. I don’t want humanoids or flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive. And a habitable planet.

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

The lopsided balance of power between capital and labour: the workers have no ability to refuse to wear the cameras which are training systems which will eventually replace the workers themselves

I literally had to go see this for myself. Sure enough. Apple Maps has removed almost every town in Lebanon from the map while keeping every podunk town in Israel and Syria clearly marked.

My brain can’t comprehend how a monkey and a penguin get more attention than an actual human baby, starving in the middle of a genocide. People in Gaza deserve to live too. No child deserves to be starved to death or shot in the head.

[Ethan Levins 🇺🇸 @EthanLevins2]

Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon.

As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation.

I’ve never seen something like this.

I don’t know how to exist with people who think opposing genocide is antisemitic.

Netanyahu:

➖"Naziler Yahudilerden nazikçe gitmelerini mi istedi? 'Lütfen gidin mi?' dediler... Bunu yapan var mı? 'Çıkın da içeri girelim mi?' dediler, tabii ki hayır." 

Bu konuşmasıyla kendisinin de Nazi olduğunu kendi ağzıyla itiraf etmiş oldu.

When 12 people were killed in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March

But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing 2000 civilians, ~200 children, ~300 women, 7 journalists, 178 health workers, and 3 UN peacekeepers in Lebanon

I just found these photos of the schoolwork of 9-year-old Ritaj Rihan, who was shot in the head and killed by Israeli terrorist forces yesterday in a classroom tent in northern Gaza.
One photo shows Ritaj’s practicing handwriting. The words on the page were orange, banana, and apple.

The other photo shows her solving subtraction problems. She was murdered in front of her teacher and peers, leaving behind only these unfinished lessons.

Lebanese here. Israel destroyed our house in 1976, I was five. We were ethnically cleansed to another town. Israel destroyed our home again in 1982, I was 11. We escaped with our life and rebuilt our home. Israel destroyed it again in 2024. No one believes your lies.

Tom Hurndall was murdered on 11th April 2003.
He was carrying Palestinian children (who were frozen from fear) to safety from gunfire. He successfully rescued one but was shot when he went back for the others. He was 21.

🇨🇳 Ministro de Defensa de China:

"A pesar de sus 240 años de historia, Estados Unidos solo ha logrado pasar 16 años sin guerra."

"Ha establecido 800 bases militares en más de 80 países de todo el mundo."

"Estados Unidos es el principal actor detrás del caos global y el mayor destructor de la paz y la estabilidad regional."

The best explanation I have ever heard of the New York Times' editorial line throughout its history is that it's not a left-wing newspaper, or a right wing newspaper, but an *establishment* newspaper. It will always side with the establishment, meaning whoever is currently in power. If Bush wants a war, the New York Times will give him a war. If Biden wants a genocide, the New York Times will argue for his genocide. It goes beyond party. It just serves power. And that means it serves the status quo only. In this sense, the New York Times is anti-progress. It will never push anything forward.

At most, it may occasionally look back when power transfers hands, and it reconsiders its previous positions to align them with the current establishment at any given time. But it will never, ever argue on the side of human progress.

Once you know this, you stop expecting anything from the paper or its owners. There is no moral principle at work, no particularly ethical demand. The only goal is to be on the right side of power.
