If it's unskilled labor, why didn't your buddy just do it himself?

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Just as the lies were vomited, just as the congresspeople frequently applauded, an air strike killed six people in my city of Beit Lahia. A school principal I worked with briefly was murdered. His name is Darwish Al-Ghirbawi. He was murdered in front of his house with his son, also a teacher, and other neighbors.
You should be ashamed of inviting a war criminal, of receiving him, of listening to him, and worse of applauding his sheer lies.
I’m angry more than ever.

Tim Bender, CEO of Hooded Horse, with a fantastic response to someone saying “Manor Lords is a pretty interesting case-study in the pitfalls of Early Access”.

I didn’t think Hooded Horse could get any cooler but here we are 👑

This undercounting—deliberate undercounting as censorship and disinformation—is precisely how it played out (and is still in effect) in the Sri Lankan genocide as well. These are well-worn and much-bloodied techniques. Being able to recognize them is essential.

[Stan's Account @tristandross]

using this juncture in history not to slow down an extinction event, but instead to accelerate it, in service of building machines whose primary purpose is to render humans obsolete. silicon valley makes sense as a grand death drive project, a compulsion towards self annihilation

[Carolyn Petit @carolynmichelle]

Notions of "objectivity" in video game discourse remain an absolute scourge. Why on earth would you not "recommend" a game you think is amazing?

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

The cruelest myth of European colonization, whether in the subcontinent or the Levant or west Africa, remains the idea that we had nothing, that we didn’t build our societies & our peoples - that we would be wandering & wallowing in filth, were it not for their gracious violence.

Jessica Wick is one of my dearest friends; she co-founded Goblin Fruit with me, & is very much family. She lost her mother last month, & it's been harrowing to witness all the ways in which vicious systems essentially paywall the right to grieve.

[Kate J. @NoeticVice]

i am honestly very here for the nicola coughlan bandwagon; she’s on a massive press tour and the two biggest messages from her have been free palestine and enjoy the tiddies - absolutely iconic behaviour
