So, Netanyahu collects the domestic political capital from bringing home the hostages. Netanyahu finds an excuse to bomb a Hamas target. Netanyahu falsely accuses Hamas of breaking the ceasefire. Netanyahu resumes the genocide. ➡️

So, the Nobel committee wanted to highlight the struggle to preserve democracy by giving the peace prize to someone who is friends with people trying to dismantle democracy. Subtle.

Jørgen Watne Frydnes must really want a wee-wee.

If Trump wins the peace prize today, it will invalidate all other Nobel prizes ever in any category. Einstein’s: null and void; Ernest Hemingway’s: null and void; Marie Curie’s: null and void; Nelson Mandela’s: null and void; Martin Luther King’s: null and void. ==> (Cartoon by Pierre Ballouhey)

She was arrested for holding a sign reading: “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

A tiny but exciting reminder that Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists have not been ‘arrested’ as the media and Israel insist. The flotilla was in international waters where Israel has no jurisdiction, nor have the activists committed any crimes in international law.

We stand with our MEP Benedetta Scuderi and with all the volunteers of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla and call for her swift & unconditional release It's unacceptable that volunteers have risked their lives to make up for the shortcoming of the EU and its Member States www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/p...

— @UKLabour is having its annual conference through Wednesday this week. If you can't make it in person, you could join in the jolly by posting "I oppose genocide — I support Palestine Action" all over their SM propaganda feeds.

Those who live by hate speech should not be entirely surprised to die as a consequence of hate speech.

I want to hear Starmer say Musk will be arrested for incitement if he sets foot in the UK. I'm not holding my breath.

When a blast from the past actually says more about the present. I drew these two In 2021, when Starmer adopted his flag-based strategy. I think the outcome at the time was pretty easy to see — to everyone but Starmer ... (1 of 3)

This is an absolute slap in the face to every single serviceperson who has protected this country and the Constitution. Ashli Babbitt was a traitor who deserves no recognizance whatsoever. Every person involved in this decision deserves the same.

I have collected another week of news about Gaza into one narrative in this recent post. While I’m here, the media still insists on calling what’s happening a war. It’s not a war. In wars two sides fight each other ... psipook.substack.com/p/a-week-in-...

We hear about the genocide in Gaza in fragments — headlines, death tolls, clips online. Does this piecemeal flow dilute reality? What if one week’s events were in one clear account? 3–10 Aug 2025 in Gaza: psipook.com/2025/08/10/a... #Gaza #Palestine #GazaGenocide #HumanRights #WarCrimes

A proper rant about Spoti-bollocks and military AI on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/psipook/... No mention of Hello Kitty or cake, which is a shame because the algorithm likes that sort of thing, BUT the story does mention frothy cappuccino, so there's that.

Constructive dyslexia. My Wordpress dashboard just exhorted me to "Power up your website building experience with Utter Bollocks!", which I thought was heroically honest. Therefore a bit disappointed to realise it was actually saying "Power up your website building experience with Otter Blocks!"

Cancelled my #Spotify subscription the other day.

It is a further illustration of the stupidity of people that so many think AI is intelligent.

Quiz time! Trump is a homonym of a verb meaning to 1. hump 2. dump 3. fart 4. pump

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

The media keeps saying the Bob Vylan Glastonbury appearance was ‘controversial’. It is only controversial to people who do not want attention drawn to their support for the genocide of the people of Palestine.

So, the BBC will no longer broadcast ‘high risk’ Glastonbury acts. And who will decide what ‘high risk’ is? To the Starmer-appointed beeb-bots a walk in the park without a parasol is high risk. www.nme.com/news/music/b...

Everyone is using ‘refute’ wrong now. It joins the list of hollowed-out words such as ‘iconic’, ‘amid’, ‘forces’ … Linguists call this lexical drift. It is better called lexical decay ...

Somewhere on social media today — can't remember which — I saw a video of a ex-soldier abusing a pro-Palestine protestor at, I think, a Cambridge Armed Services day event. Didn't save the video. The soldier's behaviour was clearly incitement and threat. I wonder whether the abuser ...

The biggest threat to world peace is not Russian or China or even the US or Iran, it's Israel. Or more specifically Netanyahu and his merry fucking yahoos.

Oh. Fuck.
