@ShabbosK @piersmorgan @PiersUncensored @cenkuygur "given the UK government actively hate Israel"

This is completely ridiculous. Most the cabinet are pro-Israel Zionists and do the lobby's bidding whenever called to.

While everyone is busy searching for wealth and a beautiful future that suits them, I am still searching for my father’s remains, after the Israeli occupation army destroyed the cemetery in which he was buried.💔

@hormeze @nuttyscot @simon_schama Post October 7th, when it's become so nakedly obvious to so many around the world that this is a murderous expansionist land grab.

@PMastersMusic @HunterBiden You are really a very fucked up person aren't you. https://t.co/vu0TuLLCN0

Your media tab is also nothing but bile: https://t.co/jeiE7ZjKBz

@PMastersMusic @HunterBiden Most other people would have taken this absolute beating he's just meted out to you, find a bit of grace and shut the hell up.

Not you though obviously. Your soul seems blackened as hell.

It’s metastatic bone cancer that spread from the prostate. They caught the bone issue quite early and with radiation and hormone therapy it’s under control, but he will live with cancer for the rest of his life. Listen man- I understand if you don’t like my Dad’s politics and you hate me because you believe everything Fox News has told you. I’m fine with that, but my Dad has cancer. How is that an issue you want to attack. What sickness is in you that makes that fair game Patrick.

We are living through a reality that is beyond words, a reality unlike any suffering known elsewhere in the world. As we struggle every day simply to survive, rats and rodents have become a relentless nightmare that follows us at every moment.

They devour the little food we have left—the same food we fight desperately to obtain for our hungry children. They tear apart the few clothes we still possess, and they rip through our fragile tents without mercy, leaving our families and children exposed to fear, insecurity, and harsh conditions.

Twitter is actually an experiment in hyper-democracy (ignoring the bot element).

Every post is a referendum (on an idea or a perspective).

The comments, retweets and likes are the votes.

And so predicably it's both incredible and an absolute cluster-frig.

Such a beautiful sonnet I came across recently from Billy Shakes.

Can't stop thinking about the contrasted almost onomatopoeic rhyming of:

"myself almost despising"
and
"like to the lark at break of day arising"

[Loster @Loster]

@matthewbaszucki Well done man. This is brilliant.

What are you eating day to day then? Lots of meat and coconut oil?

[Loster @Loster]

@MothinAli I'm with you Mothin. Exactly right.

@GrantHBrennerMD I realised a while ago that *so much* philosophical debate invokes thought experiments that are utterly impossible in present reality. They've since stopped landing with me argument wise.

You can't ever bit-part replace a person (tho I am a kidney transplantee, which is ironic).

[Loster @Loster]

@GrantHBrennerMD @WilliamJMcCart7 It's interesting that some cells seem to stay with us from an early age - but still it's really remarkable that many parts of our bodies are turned over every few days.

We are at least _partial_ Ships of Theseus (yeah, I know that that's a mite oxymoronic).

[Loster @Loster]

@ebarenholtz This is interesting.

Language clearly is dissociable from us and you have to wonder how the thoughts of higher animals are experienced... almost like "leanings" away from or towards something (and animals feel anticipation, dread etc which are also fully non-linguistic).

[Roger This @RogerThisdell]

I keep finding myself unable to truly hate anyone, even those that have done wrong by me. Confusion would arise when I would look at their actions and not like what I see, and yet I'd still feel this love for them. This confusion would be because I was mislocating where the love lies. It has not much of anything to do with their behaviour. The love is despite their behaviour. Being recognising being.

And with this insight then the selection of interaction with persons can be made more sensibly base off of behaviour; as there is a short road to love (through immediate recognition of mutual being) and a long road to love through behaviours that are compatible to strengthening and sustaining this recognition. Not everyone's compatible.

At the same time, it is important to admit to hate when it is actually harboured and not supress it. Hatred needs it outlet. But even when it's there it seems to never fully eclipses my care.

[Loster @Loster]

@RogerThisdell This is beautiful. And I know what you mean. It's always possible to stop and recognise that mutual being-ness. We're just all these fragile animals vulnerable to pain, sometimes acting angrily, sometimes beautifully...

[Loster @Loster]

@TadhgHickey @elonmusk It shocks me how they seem to have prompted @grok to be so pro-Israel too.

They've either done that directly or it just comes from so many of the "sources" it references being pro-Zionist. And maybe that there's generally more pro-Israel writing in English.

[Loster @Loster]

@nuttyscot @simon_schama He doesn't say anything about Israel in that. Only that he (obviously) feels a deep affiliation with his Jewish tribe.

The man was a zen monk. He would absolutely have been early to call out Israel's murderous barbarism.

Guess who survived the genocide and is now studying and rising again

They think we've broken.

@Heavenly_Race_ "it must be practiced and developed like any other skill"

It's an under-recognised truth that intelligence is shockingly unevenly distributed. Millions are just dumb.

We all have to practice being clearer, less reactive thinkers but u need the capacity to begin with to want to.
