Karine Jean-Pierre, when asked about international aid agencies saying Israel has failed to improve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza despite the U.S. previously warning military aid would be at risk:
“Israel has taken steps to address the measures laid out in that letter.”
Personally would not use an environment-ravaging technology to bring attention to the ravaged environment but I guess this is why I’m not considered a genius artist.
We would like to share our “Nature Manifesto,” a sound installation at the Centre Pompidou @CentrePompidou, Paris. Produced in collaboration with the IRCAM @Ircam using AI software, this immersive sound piece gives endangered and extinct animals a voice by merging their sounds with our words. We wanted to share their presence in an architecture representing the industrial age, far away from nature. In the veins of the escalator of the museum, known as the “caterpillar,” we wanted to remind citizens of the raw vitality of endangered creatures. Even though you are restlessly traveling between floors whilst listening to this soundpiece, the tone of animals’ voices hopefully builds a sonic bridge towards the listeners. And in the spirit of these animals, in the magic of how they are sensually aligned with their environment, they become our teachers! Their ghosts remind us of improving our primordial mindfulness. But we didn’t only want to talk the talk but walk the walk, so together with young environmentalists in France and Iceland, we have set up a campaign. It will launch later.
Thank you,
Björk and Aleph

Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.
I would know because I wrote the law.
Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.
This is what illegal corruption looks like. https://t.co/JJjJ59DgB5

What are the left-coded dude hobbies and obsessions? I can think of a million right-coded ones––weed and DMT and UFC and weightlifting and comedy and nutrition and weird supplements and paranormal shit––but what are the equivalents on the left?
Wonder if these guys are gonna have an oppsie moment when they destroy the earth with WWIII. Probably not since they think they’re bringing on the rapture
In this 2015 interview I conducted with @marcorubio, you can see evidence of his consistently hardline approach to Iran. The new Trump cabinet could become a real nightmare for Tehran:

Stefanik proudly promoted the antisemitic “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory that has motivated mass murders.
Yet the head of ADL is eager to embrace and legitimize her and other Trump lackeys, prioritizing the shielding of Israel from criticism over American Jewish safety.
Mazel Tov to @EliseStefanik on her nomination to be the next US Ambassador to the @UN. Rep. Stefanik has been a critical partner and absolutely fearless in fighting campus antisemitism. I’m excited to work with her to combat anti-Jewish hate & anti-Israel bias on the world stage.
@BradleyJuma11 @MSNBC_reports You obviously do not know anything about hormone therapy. I encourage you to read up on it and educate so you don’t embarrass yourself further
@MomAngtrades@cyrusbeschloss This is the problem with liberals. Of course people were helped. No one owes you or the democrats a vote and policies should be ideologically based and not as quid pro quos
