Gaza Palestinians not Gazans. West Bank Palestinians not West Bankers. Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, not Israeli Arabs. Decolonize your language. Say Palestine. Say Palestinians.

Worth noting just how impressive it is that public opinion has so steadily turned against Israel in the United States considering the fact that news like this basically does not get covered in any of the legacy media publications.

next week!!!

I don't think this is reckless, I think it is welcomed. These people have a 'mow the lawn' mindset without drawing a gun.

Israel's chief collaborator in occupied Gaza, the former ISIS member Yasser Abu Shabab, is reported to have been killed.

Our government tried to let racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans rampage on Birmingham's streets. They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people. Now listen to what the West Midlands Chief Constable told MPs. What a scandal.

I’m so sad and angry. Rania and I have been in touch for months during this genocide and I have grown to love and admire her so much. Through bombings and displacements, she’s been a rock and a star for her family. And now, because she couldn’t get evacuated in time, she’s gone. I’m so sorry. 💔

My dear friend has passed away.

Rania has developed sepsis after a long and complicated pregnancy during the famine. In a world where the genocide had ended, she could be evaluated for treatment in another country because in Gaza it is impossible to get her the care she needs.

Act my age? What the fuck is that "act my age"? What do I care how old I am? The ocean is old as fuck, it will still drown your ass with vigor.

I just heard from Mohammed that Rania's condition is getting worse. Please keep her and her family in your hearts and if you have anything to donate to contribute to her medical care it would be gratefully received.

My dear friend Rania has just undergone an emergency cesarian to deliver her daughter. Both are in intensive care units and very vulnerable. Any donations towards their care will be gratefully received. Mohammed, their husband and father, has been injured and is unable to work.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

EHRC guidance leaked and it's so bad even The Times can't put a positive spin on it www.thetimes.com/article/82ee...

This rancid trash understands the significance of Labour's anti-refugee policies.

We cannot understand the emboldening of racists/fascists on the ground without centring the role of the discourse of mainstream elite This Labour government, anything right of it and any media that does not cover them as enablers are responsible for this www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I ran my first ultra marathon across the Scottish Highland Moors this weekend. It was fabulous! Dava Way 50km. Great race, super people. More of this! Picture by Stuart Ross.

We’re doomed, as a species, if the smartest of us can’t stop doing insanely dumb things. Doomed!

This is something @aaronwinter.bsky.social and I explored in our report for the @runnymedetrust.bsky.social in the lead up to the 2024 election Once more, the key question is not whether immigration is a popular concern, but why it has been made so www.runnymedetrust.org/publications...

Great to see the central role of mainstream parties covered so openly as it's been ignored for too long However, I can't help but think that if the Guardian was serious about agenda setting, it would also reflect on their own role in the mainstreaming process

Unironically, you can see how these guys’ Twitter brainrot has progressed to this stage where they have trouble remembering that you’re supposed to talk about the Nazis as the bad guys. It’s not a winking nod to neo-Nazis so much as them genuinely forgetting which way is supposed to be up

“If you do not agree at this point, two years in, that the state that needs to be demilitarized–and deradicalized frankly–is the state that is committing genocide, then you’re part of the problem.”

Using the phrase ‘golden ticket’ like saving your family is a game and you just got a cheat code is insane. The Labour govt are soulless ghouls.

We laugh at this shit -- I mean, how can you not? -- but it's serious: these guys want to infuse reactionary thinking into AI and then infuse AI into every nook & cranny of American life. They can't win the argument so they are trying to blunt-force their views onto us with money & power.

A cool way to illustrate #Viking ships? Paint them on a pane of glass and set it up by the sea.

So Keir Starmer’s position is to both recognise the State of Palestine and strongly support its total colonisation by Trump, Blair, and the IDF?

Btw the new OpenAI data centers will consume more power than the entire city of New York, brags Sam Altman

🇦🇺Australian doctor Nada Abu Alrub volunteering in Gaza City writes: “Today’s shift cannot be written down; not even in a hundred years could words capture how horrific it was; not even in the worst imagination of any human being. So, I’ll only write this: This Was The Worst Day Of The Genocide...

This 💔 is awful in so many details. Oh man.

I'm over invested because this is my way of cooking with garlic 🧄 and now I need to know how it ends....

The UK is a spineless disgrace.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

What it sounds like when philosophers who are also anti-trans activists submit an amicus brief to a US court where they argue for banning trans girls and women from women's sports.

Hilarious example of UK-pundit-brain: "Hey, EU, agree to take back an unlimited number of asylum-seekers from us, in return for us agreeing to take a much smaller fixed number from you, or else we'll go ahead and make Nigel Farage Prime Minister!" No, srsly, that's it.

I have just signed up to my first Ultra Marathon race across the Dava Moor! I shall not be fast. It's in November so that might be interesting in itself haha! The Dava way is in the North of Scotland, so yeah.

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

I'm seeing some people post this and not realize this is PART of the radicalization. Building an audience from reasonable sounding videos and converting them into the pipeline. Weiss is doing this now as I get The Free Press ads about things like "low tech parenting" and workout fads.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle
