Reminder: Dockworkers in France, Greece, Basque Country, Turkey, Morocco, and Italy are calling for strikes on October 30 “against war and militarization” and to protest “the genocide of the Palestinian people.” https://t.co/8Iy2KvO9fU
Colonial PR playbook: Doing the absolute minimum of the right thing while continuing to materially, militarily and finamcially support perpetrators of genocide but shouting loudly about it.
One of the most brutal scenes in history:
The Israeli army blindfolded this young Palestinian man, forced him to run, and then shot him in the back of the head.
All this for mere amusement.
A historical crime.
“I did a leg amputation on a 5-year-old girl, and the only anesthesia that we had was the anesthesia doctor singing to her… We were praying for her to faint. She stayed awake the whole amputation.”
Absolutely devastating testimony from doctors in Gaza.
An Israeli soldier shot and killed a mentally ill young man after he crossed the "yellow line" east of Deir al-Balah. His family, unable to control his movements, dug a grave 300 metres from his corpse but aren't allowed to retrieve it.
For 2 days, his mother waves a white flag from dawn to sunset, hoping Israeli forces will permit her to recover his body, but she receives no response. The desperate family has now pleaded on Facebook for international help to bury their child.
On the same outskirts, Israel last month kidnapped a 3-year-old child and his father and shot the child dead: https://t.co/3snvUBocSr
🚨 “We will not be used as a ‘loophole’ in the wider erosion of trans rights!”
Disability Rights UK come out swinging in support for trans / intersex people, and against exclusion from social inclusion.
“We call on other Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) to do the same.”
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
This is the so...called ceasefire in Gaza.
The bombing has never stopped, and every day brings more martyrs and injured civilians.
This child was brought to hospital after another airstrike.
I’m sorry for the painful scene, but the world needs to witness what is happening here.
I'm glad it can finally be reported that Rajiv Menon KC, lead defence barrister in my daughter's (Filton 6) trial, is being *prosecuted*
Judge 'Injustice' Johnson is trying to punish Rajiv for a brilliant speech in the 1st trial because it led to the jury refusing to convict.
@Nia_mp4 Flatmate tried to cut her hand off with a 9” cook’s knife. Got through the tendons and all. Got in from work to find the kitchen a bloody mess as her boyfriend barrelled her out the door to hospital
