I came across a theory that AI is starting to make more mistakes because the internet is increasingly polluted with AI slop. The idea of AI cannibalising itself into obscurity is one of my favourite things ever. I hope it is true and I hope it becomes impossible to fix.

the guy who rents an apartment at One Constitution Avenue thinks that a poor laborer who takes one day off in a week instead of two, doesn't take off on usual public holidays unlike him (like Labor Day, Kashmir Day), doesn't see his family for months, is not working enough.

The female loneliness epidemic already happened when our moms, grandmas, and great grandmas felt all alone with husbands who didn't listen to or support them

Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.

Since having kids I am completely incapable of handling it when kids are in distress. I didn't *like* it or anything before having kids, but I could tolerate it in reasonable doses. Since my first was born I can't watch movies where people hurt children, can't handle pictures of starving kids, can't read stories about it, can even feel myself getting somewhat upset about someone *else's* kid being truly distraught at the Dr's office. It's like a neurological switch flipped. I can barely even handle the scenes where the parents are worrying about their daughter in Moana.

Before I could ask what was wrong, I was already looking at her face.

The child sat in front of me. Her mother was beside her. She was small and very quiet. Her face was covered in red, swollen bites. There were too many of them. It seemed disproportionate, as if her face could not contain them.

I leaned closer.

The mother stopped me.

“That’s not the problem, doctor,” she said. “They are mosquito bites. It is like this every day.”

She said it without hesitation.

Then she explained why she had come. The child had severe diarrhea. It had started after drinking milk distributed by an international organization.

I wrote the prescription. The case itself was simple.

But I kept thinking about the face.

Not because of the bites, but because they no longer meant anything. They had lost their status as a problem. They belonged to the order of things.

The mother was almost surprised that I had noticed them.

It seemed that I was the one who did not understand.

There are places where suffering is no longer an event. It becomes a condition. Something continuous, like the air.

In such places, distinctions disappear. What should alarm us no longer does. What should be temporary settles into permanence.

A child can be covered in bites and it is nothing unusual.

Children sleep among insects and rodents. They fall ill from what is given to sustain them. Each day is organized around endurance.

No one calls this life. But it continues.

One adapts. That is perhaps the most troubling part.

Because adaptation gives the appearance of order. It creates the illusion that things can go on like this.

But there are limits that should not be crossed.

When they are, the world does not collapse. It simply becomes quieter.

And in that quiet, what is intolerable begins to resemble the normal.

Once the world watched the first live streamed genocide in human history without enough discomfort to stop it, a line was crossed and any and all degrees of imperialist violence became acceptable.

This is what we meant when we said Gaza wasn’t a “single issue”, it was the issue.

I understand it can be hard for readers halfway around the world to absorb headlines like this over & over. Fatigue for stories of faraway grief is natural.

But every one of these families is shattered, possibly beyond repair. Please do read what my colleagues are documenting.

[Nick Cruse 🥋 @SocialistMMA]

So let me get this straight

Iran is allowed to enrich uranium while having sanctions lifted as a result of this peace agreement

So instead of lifting sanctions that would have prevented this war in the first place, U.S. went to war, lost all its credibility on the world stage while all their bases in the region were completely destroyed.

Only to get a worst version of the Nuclear Deal where Iran can still enrich!?

United States utterly humiliated

it just amazes me how some people aren’t amazed. What do you mean you aren’t awed by Artemis, or you didn’t wanna go see the total solar eclipse, or you aren’t mystified by weather or sunsets or mountains like it’s all so amazing and so beautiful and you get one chance to see it

There is not a single ounce of anything Roald Dahl wrote criticizing Israel that was anti-semitic or unreasonable in any way

Here's the first page of what he wrote

[caxhole @caxholee]

“i wish children would be temporarily elevated to the skies until the war ends
then they would return home safe
and when their parents would ask them,
where were you? they would say,
we were playing in the clouds” - ghassan kanafani, a palestinian poet

Israelis only appear human, but they're not like us. Tell me, who among you has the heart to torture an 18 month old by inserting, pulling out, then reinserting metal nails into his flesh? burning their tiny body with cigarettes, completely unaffected by the baby's screams?
Israelis only appear human, but they are not like us. It's not enough to call them the monsters of our time. Jewish supremacy brings a particular kind of horror and inhumanity. The receipts are documented. The question is how long with this abomination go on before it's finally wiped off the map?
