On a day when 🇮🇱 forces are taking naked, blindfolded men away in trucks; when reports are emerging that Gaza’s most celebrated doctor was tortured to death; on the eve of an historic vote on blocking weapons to 🇮🇱, there isn’t a single 🇵🇸 story on the @nytimes homepage. Not one.
cool that PA’s democratic governor with presidential ambitions is going to force a strike, massive service cuts, and fare increases that could ultimately end mass transit in Philadelphia
Pretty remarkable: viewership for this year’s NCAA women’s basketball championship outdrew the clinching game of a Dodgers-Yankees World Series in primetime.

@alexsteed@youaregoodpod my older brother bought me the soundtrack on cd as a gift, I was in middle school and it made me feel so cool at the time getting into artists like Frou Frou and dishing out recommendations to my peers as if I’d been listening to Nick Drake for yearssss
ever since i read about the weapon israel used to kill those kids - not an explosive bomb, but a weapon the pentagon and CIA developed in secret that blasts knives out to slice people to pieces - i couldn't stop thinking about that maxim: "the purpose of a system is what it does"
Bombing Beirut and Tehran in the same day, to assassinate the ceasefire negotiator, the week ceasefire negotiations were taking place. They keep showing us they have no interest in a peace, only total extermination and colonization

destroying archives—incl archives of political satire shows—is one of the first things authoritarian govts & systems do. the daily show & colbert show consistently spoke truth to power

What was the point in spending our entire childhoods being taught what the Nazis did if we were gonna be expected to sit by and do nothing during a televised genocide?
Even if you believe “no one will be arrested for masking” … you need to understand what message a mask ban sends. It says protecting ourselves is wrong & invites harassment of vulnerable individuals. It gives law enforcement a reason to stop marginalized people. Its dangerous.
Please stop believing we don’t owe each other anything. We owe each other so much! We owe each other love, equity, understanding, community, compassion, and much more. Don’t let this toxic hyper individualism cut you off from humanity. We’re all connected. We all need each other.
