Finally got to do a story for @snapjudgment, one of my all-time favorite podcasts. I first came across Jacob's story on Reddit in 2020 and couldn't get it out of my head. And I still can't.

When no one can hear you and nobody sees you anymore, how do you tell the world you are still there? This week, Snap presents one man's impossible journey back to the world that forgot him. https://t.co/H59agvaW0w

@brian_goldstone Around 4:35, he addresses exactly this: "Dozens of Palestinian journalists have died trying to report on what is going on"

I've been to the spot where they were standing. Our photographers used to shoot from there. It would have been quite clear that they were journalists.

An Israeli strike in south Lebanon killed two journalists reporting for the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen TV

David Remnick sent a note to staff this morning abt the worrisome news on Mosab Abu Toa, the Palestinian poet and essayist from Gaza, whose work we have been publishing. We had lost touch w/ him and learned he was arrested in central Gaza. Here's a thread of his @newyorker work.

I stayed in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem for several weeks in 1994, while writing From the Holy Mountain. I regularly used to hear armed Settlers shouting "Death to the Arab," as they passed along the outer walls, smashing windows and breaking into shops. Now the Settlers have seized a chunk of the Patriachate that has been Armenian land since the 4th century. The Patriach writes that the Christian presence is under "existential threat."

MNDAA continues to hold key positions taken since starting 1027, and is openly working with Chinese police at Chinshwehaw gate, processing the return of Chinese nationals, this time rescued from Lashio.

The world is still using more energy each year, our consumption ticking ever upward, swallowing any gains made by renewable energy.

When two very nice people from the City tried to explain the proposed lane change to Bennington St in East Boston/Revere, the townies showed up to voice their opposition. Which led @StillettoDee1 to film this rant filled with QAnon dogma from @VitaleForBoston about how she and woman beater @Shawn4Boston are fighting the good fight against bike lanes. #bospoli? #mapoli!

From our reporting on the ground in #Ukraine:

When a Russian bomb damaged a library full of Ukrainian cultural artifacts, residents of Chernihiv feared a part of them would be lost forever. Then a cutting-edge technology came to the rescue.

The Green Line extension, which opened less than a year ago, is riddled with so many defects that workers will now have to essentially redo a key element of the 4.7-mile stretch, T general manager Phillip Eng announced Thursday. https://t.co/3SvZwYBhmf

New from 404 Media: Instagram has been auto-translating phrases that included "Palestinian" into phrases that say "terrorist". Instagram now ‘sincerely apologizes’ in a statement to us https://t.co/AfFxlGBjMU

I spoke to multiple respected OSINT experts who have been tracking conflict on Twitter for years. Now after Musk's changes on verification, profit:
- "all hell broke loose"
- “this entire space is 90% grifters”
- “It just creates more noise and less signal https://t.co/gZpMFjrfr5

Marc Andreessen, who runs one of the biggest Silicon Valley venture capital firms, wrote a "manifesto" today labeling “social responsibility" and "tech ethics" teams "the enemy."

His firm recently pivoted from crypto/Web3 to American military and defense contractor technology.

This has now been confirmed from Reuters:
We are deeply saddened to learn that our videographer, Issam Abdallah, has been killed.
Issam was part of a Reuters crew in southern Lebanon who was providing a live signal.
Our thoughts are with their families at this terrible time.

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Very telling when an ex-Top Adviser to Israel's Prime Minister is way more sympathetic to Palestinians than a BBC presenter:

Presenter "The Israelis would say.. we're defending ourselves"

Daniel Levy: "Do you really keep a straight face when you say that? ...these kind of lies"

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

CNN continues to spread false information - a massacre happened, but there is no evidence of 'beheaded babies' (even some Israeli journos are saying this). There is a very clear strategy to manufacture consent for the Israel's bloody campaign in Gaza with US blessing and backing.

[Jack Adamović Davies @jackoozell]

Hilarious story from @instupor. Those billboard ads greeting Hun Manet in Times Square that his dad was so proud of? They were fakes, say the billboard managers:
