In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit.

@losdrogas he was the perfect streamer

@losdrogas why did he read that message about how his comedy is bad? rip

[tormance @tormance]

No meaningful global condemnation of the bombings of ambulances and hospitals and schools and refugee camps after the unproven claims that they were being used by terrorists is an insult to the value of human life and makes it easier for countries to kill innocents in the future.

[Aamer @IbnKulthum]

Smarter people have articulated this before but the Gaza Genocide prefigured all of this violence. What Gaza asked of all of us was how much horror we were willing to ignore, and it the answer was “a lot”. All of this (ICE, Venezuela, etc) is downstream of that complacency.

[Dr Fadel Naim @fnaim65]

Two years ago today, an Israeli airstrike killed my mother, my two nieces both doctors and their children
I was inside Gaza & they were in the south. I couldn’t reach them, couldn’t say goodbye, couldn’t kiss them one last time
We mourn them every day & carry their memory forward

They are not. This is a clever liberal evasion tactic also popular RE: Venezuela (2002) and Bolivia (2019): “This coup is unwise (possibly illegal) but something something we now need fair elections.” This way you distance yourself from an unseemly coup but implicitly endorse it

R.I.P. Tatsuya Nakadai (1932-2025), truly one of the greatest actors in all of cinema.

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

🧵Haaretz published a Hebrew-only article today, nominally about Israeli soldiers facing PTSD from their time in Gaza, with numerous admissions to killing children.

An Israeli sniper from Chicago, after killing a 19-year-old and then shooting his brother for trying to retrieve the body: "What was so important about that corpse?”

Those were 2 of the 4 members of the same family killed by Israeli snipers on a single day in Gaza, Nov 2023.

Subversive Sally Rooney? Only in a world where telling the truth has become the most radical act of all. In todays @irishexaminer

[Alex Skopic @alexskopic]

There's no such thing as "individual freedom" when a landlord controls your housing, a company controls your healthcare, and your boss controls whether you eat or not next month. You can have freedom, or you can have capitalism; never both.

Guy in front of me at the DMV has never heard of "tap" or "insert" card as a payment method. He keeps laughing and telling the clerk "I'm a sliding guy"

@TheLastTroll happy birthday tim 🎉

[dylan saba @shaabiranks]

The US defunded the primary UN organization feeding the people of Gaza in Jan 2024 and no one batted an eye. They did it to help Israel use aid as a weapon of war. Now as the predicted famine arrives in full everyone is throwing their alibis together and it makes me fucking sick

if only there were more like Sally Rooney around
