Oh look, NYT can do journalism and forensic analysis now!

طبعًا.

If you‘re still reconsidering leaving this hellish platform, now is the time, just do it! And while we‘re at it:

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

Grok is not a human representative of X, therefore should not be quoted as if they are a human representative of the company. The company’s AI chatbot generated CSAM of users bc human beings programmed the AI to allow such things What are we doing here

*insert agressive Face-Palm imagery*

I don’t know, 6 seems like an overestimation.

a big part of the issue surrounding the use of chatgpt/LLMs in academic research comes down to process vs. product. a lot of us know that the process of doing research matters because that's where intellectual work is done; but some "academics" and lots of techies only care about a fast product

Israel allowing exists from Gaza but no reentry is ethnic cleansing & history repeating. It’s the script of the Nakba — massacre people & then leave them with the awful decision between their children’s lives & their land and then lie that those who chose the former voluntarily departed. So sick.

Insane! A bunch of ghouls telling on themselves.

Absolutely insane news from Egypt, where award-winning human rights lawyer Mohamed el-Baqer has had his terrorism designation renewed for another five years. Mohamed was pardoned by Sisi in July 2023 after being prosecuted and after serving jail time for his work as a lawyer.

when talking about “progress” & “turning tides” on Palestine we must always remember that this happened at the expense of +600k innocent souls. It wasn’t us asking the criminals nicely [and in vain] to stop the massacre, but the massacre itself that “changed” public opinion.

Shout to you academics taking positions in UAE funded centers 👏

Anyone still engaging with the UAE after the last two years, and what has just happened in El-Fasher, is someone comfortable abetting genocide.

Is social media dying? How much has Twitter changed as it became X? Which party now dominates the conversation? Using nationally representative ANES data from 2020 & 2024, I map how the U.S. social media landscape has transformed. Here are the key take-aways 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2510.25417

#OtD 29 Oct 2000 14-year-old Palestinian Faris Odeh stood alone in front of an Israeli tank in Gaza and threw a stone at it, during the second intifada, photographed by AP's Laurent Rebours. 10 days later Odeh was shot in the neck and killed by the IDF stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1263...

To have this weirdo among other weirdos be the fascists of the present times is both infuriating and embarrassing.

Israel kills 90 Palestinians in night of heavy of air strikes across Gaza - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-unleashes-wave-attacks-across-gaza-latest-truce-violation

the images coming out of al-fasher are honestly horrific. all filmed by the rsf themselves. Fuck the RSF and fuck the UAE.

I love that everything about this screams Saudi Arabia ✨✨

Someone came up with the expression “Spiritually Israeli” and it’s one of the best things in the internet comment history. I mean we always had similar expressions in Arabic , at least Egyptian, to mean that, but it is now international and I am here for it 😌.

Israel never ceases fire. And even if it did, it would still be carrying out military occupation, apartheid, mass arrests, land theft & more. Boycott Israel. Divest from Israel. Sanction Israel. Genocide is an active project & we are complicit. Action is the only way forward

وبعدين طيب؟! وبعدين؟!

انهاردة في تجمع للمسلمين في المدينة، كل ما كنت أنا أو صديقتي نتسأل احنا من فين ونقول إننا من مصر، كان الرد: " أنا عشت في مصر … و بحبها أوي". مفيش حد ما ردش نفس الرد ده، اللي عاش كام شهر واللي قضى سنين، بس الرد واحد. وجنسيات كتيرة بجد، التونسي والمغربي والسوري والصومالي والأفغاني ، شيء مدهش!

Sources say the 28-year-old was killed by members of Israel-linked 'militia' fighting Hamas in the Sabra neighbourhood.

Absolutely horrible news - Saleh was killed today www.middleeasteye.net/news/saleh-a...

They would have never kept tiktok as it is, and here we are.

This is actually what is going to happen. That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis. It’s just not on the news anymore. This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

The IDF took 3D animations from the Scottish Maritime Museum, a cyberpunk project and other places to make shit up about Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and these were reproduced in international outlets for the past 2 years. Thread
