I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Below are some brief highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Here's the full eye-opening 'debate': https://t.co/VG2vnik1J0

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING!!! - 11:18PM UK time; I am with the flotilla online. They have just been reached by the Israel speedboats - 5 vessels circling the flotilla. The captain is instructing the team to stay calm and seated, with their passports and life jackets on. I hear them speaking with Israeli soldiers as I type... telling they are carrying humanitarian aid and go in peace. For the time being they are just circled. I am with them, recording everything.

Manche bei den @neos_eu verdauen anscheinend ganz schlecht, dass sie nicht imstande waren, ordentlich zu verhandeln.
Als guter Juniorpartner kann man zB umsetzen: CO2-Steuer; Klimaticket; Lobautunnelstop; Förderungen Photovoltaik und Gasaustieg; Mrd für Bahnausbau, etc.

RT @maxschrems: Was mir noch wer erklären muss:

[Max Schrems 🇪🇺 @maxschrems]

Nur so zur Referenz: Wenn die #ÖVP wegen der #Erbschaftssteuer (u.a.) die Bildung einer Regierung abbricht, dann nur mal so im Vergleich wo es das überall gibt und wie wenig "#radikal" das ist... 🙄

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

As we enter the holiday season, a moment of goodwill from my archives: during the long cruel siege of Sarajevo during the 1990s by Bosnian-Serb forces, this is the story of a taxi driver who put aside ethnic divisions and became a hero to the needy under siege.

Today's Lancet climate and health report presents 56 indicators of health and climate change across FIVE domains. (Download the report for free from the Lancet website). Here is a thread of some of the key findings. #Lancetclimate24 (1)

[Carne Ross @carneross]

For those unmoved by Palestinian and Lebanese deaths, just be aware that every day that passes of ‘the West’ enabling and permitting the slaughter of civilians by their ally Israel, the ‘rules-based order’ that they claim to support is eroded and the Putins, Xi’s, Assads and all the other brutes are emboldened and encouraged. Gaza is a turning point for all of us.

Der drittreichste Mensch der Welt verbietet der @washingtonpost, einer der renommiertesten Zeitung der USA, die traditionelle Wahlempfehlung. Der viertreichste kontrolliert die Plattformen Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp - seine Algorithmen haben schon Wahlen entschieden. 1/4

Fussi aus Partei ausschließen! Ist schon längst überfällig!

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

Should everyday objects be beautiful, or useful?

Here's how to fight back against functionality.

And why beauty matters in the mundane... (thread) 🧵

[Dr. Mads Gilbert @DrMadsGilbert]

If the missing person is a child, 15 to 20 kilograms of body parts are weighed and if the missing person is an adult, 70 kilograms of body parts are weighed and delivered to the missing person's relatives.
Attempts are made to identify the remains by the colour of the remaining clothing, the colour of the hair, or any other sign that can be used to identify the owner of the remains.
In fact, everyone knows that these remains do not belong to any one person, but the victims' families want to give the false impression that they have collected the remains of their relatives.
The families of the victims, especially the parents, cannot close their eyes without this deception that they have honoured the remains of their children's bodies.
This is an unprecedented genocide that is taking place before the eyes of the world.
No words can describe it... this is horror.

[Fabian Goldmann @goldi]

Am 10.8.24 bombardierte die israelische Armee eine mit Flüchtlingen überfüllte Schule in Gaza und tötete über 100 Menschen. Keiner einzigen größeren deutschen Tageszeitung war das Massaker ein Aufmacher auf ihrer Titelseite wert.

[Christian H. Klosz @_Kun3_0]

Ich will die Gefahren des islamistischen Extremismus nicht klein reden, aber was Klenk hier von sich gibt, ist offene Islamophobie.
Wenig überraschend, er hatte sich immerhin schon im Zuge der Covid-Pandemie radikalisiert und mit Schwurblern verbündet.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Britain's former MI6 chief suggests Netanyahu wants a war with Hezbollah and Iran in part because he thinks it would help elect Trump -- yet another example of his willingness to sacrifice innocent lives for his political calculations. https://t.co/gp4oun3V5d

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

"Las Meninas" is one of the most revolutionary (and mysterious) paintings in history.

At first glance it might not be obvious why.

But when you notice its little details, everything unravels… (thread) 🧵

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

I strongly condemn the decision by the Israeli Government to revoke the diplomatic status for Norwegian diplomats dealing with the PA.

This is of interest for all working for peace and stability in the Middle East.

Full solidarity to Norway.
