Heute ist #Nakba-Tag: Die Nakba ist kein abgeschlossenes Ereignis, sondern ein Prozess, der mal mehr, mal weniger intensiv vorangetrieben wird. Aber seit 1967 nie so intensiv wie jetzt. Dazu medico-Nahostreferent Riad Othman: 1/5

Some of you would surprise yourselves if you really thought out the timeline and realized just how recent an idea it is that social media is Important. If Twitter makes you feel like you're engaging in something Important, that's like a depression symptom. You're doing too much social media.

Out now: AI and the Murder of Truth. And Air Bud. On AI, education, fascism, paying the Dane-geld, and why there ain’t no rule says a dog can’t play basketball. The follow up to last year’s “You are a better writer than AI.” If you liked that video, this is worth your time. youtu.be/sETvPBVKBAY

Today is May 3, 2026. This is the third year that Hind Rajab cannot celebrate her birthday after being violently murdered by the Israeli "Defense" Force.

Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.

From the study -- this distinction between helpful human mentorship + collaboration vs. what chatbots provide to people by default is really striking:

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it. It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within. www.middleeasteye.net/news/i-wishe...

Deutschland hat sich mal wieder zum Mittäter in einem imperialistischen, völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg gemacht (bzw. wird es weiterhin, wenn die USA den Waffenstillstand bricht). Es wird Zeit, die Ramstein-Airbase zu schließen & mit der Abrüstung zu beginnen. www.tagesschau.de/inland/regio...

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

No hate to this lady in particular, but annihilating people and taking their resources is what America does. From the genocides it's founded on, to the slavery that propelled its rise to imperial power, to the global "interventions" post-WW2. It's not just Trump. The US is a terror state.

let's be clear about what's happening: donald trump and benjamin netanyahu, whose countries have been committing genocide in gaza since 2023, unilaterally started a war with iran, and are now threatening genocide there.

Political activism is the only context where full-grown adults say shit like "I tried once and it was hard, now there's no more hope" like a teenager after their first breakup

"I flew to Cuba on a humanitarian aid mission to bring 40 tons of food, medicine, and medical equipment to the island nation as the United States maintains an oil blockade strangling the country." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvqe...

"The process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose."

Two years of live-streamed genocide and now this. Just horrifying levels of depravity.

Why's it called "dead internet theory" and not interdead

Die aktuelle moralische Panik um die 'neue autoritäre Linke' ist vor allem ein weiterer Ausdruck der gegenwärtigen Faschisierung. nothing more, nothing less.

Seeing people say AI is a tool that helps "working class people become writers" and its such bullshit. The process of learning and skill sharpening is labour, and its telling that there is work to be glamorized (being perceived as a Writer) and labour beneath people (learning to write)

If you’re a socialist, hell just a “good person,” supporting the revolution in Cuba and the Communist Party is the easiest, most clear-cut actually existing socialism to support. The fact that so many progressive and democratic socialists fail at this is why I have such dim hopes.

You may not like it, but there’s actually no universal consensus vis-à-vis blowing up little kids, and in fact suggesting that blowing up little kids is evil is, itself, a form of terrible violence, and furthermore naïve to say, if not outright childish. And you know what we do to children

"iran could hit europe with their missiles!!!" america has nukes in my backyard in europe. maybe we worry about those first

capitalist leaders are measured by realpolitik standards, socialist leaders are measured by utopian standards. I wouldn't be surprised to see a liberal lambasting a communist leader for speaking with Kissinger
