This was such a rewarding experience. I read stories that I otherwise would not have read, and encountered authors I likely never would have encountered.

I didn't miss a day, meaning - in total, I read 112 stories.

For my own sake, here's my top ten :)

I have a few lockdown goals - one of them is to read a short story every day.

(I've got a pretty good TBR list going, but recs welcome!)

We are seeing ACTUAL beheaded babies on our screens and this is not even a news story? Wtf is going on.

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

It shouldn’t surprise us that AI is a tool used by the police state of 1984 to keep the population in check. As it advances, its uses are likely to become more sinister: mass surveillance, the building of weapons systems, an endless flood of slop and distractions.

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

“in gaza it’s a guarantee they’ll die” sitting next to the man who murdered them. beyond evil. there are no words

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

Palestinian civilians have every right to hate Israel. Expecting them to be “good victims” and appear defeated and submissive, wishful of the mercy of the West’s solidarity, as opposed to defiant and angry, is part of the logic of genocide. “You’re not broken yet? Ah then this must not be genocide” is just a perverse mindset meant to justify Palestinian extermination

My politics come down to one simple principle: We have enough for everyone, so everyone should have enough. We don't have a scarcity problem or even a logistics problem, we have a greed problem.

@ConversationEDU @SashaBailey_v1 I'd love for us not to import more of this culture war BS from the US and the UK. Australian politicians should see the damage and divisiveness it has introduced overseas and keep politics out of medical decisions

@JJKALE2 There's a doco about Marlene called Black Panther Woman - worth watching!

2024 was the warmest year on record. Our experts work with @NOAA scientists to track Earth’s average temperature, relying on millions of measurements worldwide. They found this year was hotter than any since at least 1880, the result of human activities: https://t.co/bVchhDzQku

Remember that one of the reasons babies are freezing to death is that the Israeli government is limiting the entry of tents, winter clothing, and blankets.

Bertrand Russell wrote this over 100 years ago, in 1923. Hasn't aged a day.

Why are babies in Gaza dying from the cold? Who destroyed their homes, shelters and hospitals? It’s not a natural disaster.

“i don’t get it yall want housing to be free? what’s next? food? water? every necessity?” and ur supposed to be the weird one for saying yes 🧍🏽

Law Schools have nothing to say about international law? Medical Schools say nothing about targeting hospitals & staff? Historians have nothing to say about the obliteration of archives & historic sites? Professors ARE choosing their politics over their profession, but its NOT US

one of my favorite videos is these geese seeing a meteor over portugal. I love how they’re curious, but not scared. and how they talk to each other after.
