Adorno, in the course of a sentence, evoking what used to be lovely about travel, dissolving it all in a phrase, and super-subtly elegising the millions of murdered dead who are nowhere to be found. He takes you from past to present to every variable of the tragic future.

BBC News, reporting from eastern Ukraine:

"There’s a feeling here that Ukraine should have negotiated at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, to prevent the death and destruction they’ve seen since."

Ukraine did negotiate at the beginning of the invasion. So much so that it reached the outline of a peace deal with Russia. Zelensky abandoned that deal at the behest of the US and UK, who wanted to use Ukraine to bleed Russia -- no matter how much death and destruction ensued.

This reality remains censored by Western media -- across the spectrum -- with Ukrainians left to pay the price:

He's made more egregious decisions than this but this feels up there with the most stupid in a string of own goals. People will feel this a lot more than most other economic policies

My unpopular opinion is that rather than mocking traumatised IDF soldiers we should understand them as exemplifying how Israel's genocidal project destroys its supposed beneficiaries from the inside – and use that knowledge to build a coalition that includes Israelis

@Pal_action You are an inspiration to us all. A true hero. Happy 21st!!!

On this day 24 years ago, the world watched, helplessly, as Jamal al-Durrah tried to protect his 12-year-old son Muhammad from Israeli bullets that rained down on them in Gaza for 40 minutes. Despite pleads, Israeli soldiers intentionally shot Muhammad in the stomach, whose final moments of fear and horror were caught on camera and streamed by France TV, and injured his father.

Muhammad became the defining and haunting image of the Second Intifada.
