Dear My Phone, My Computer, My Apps, My Electronic Devices, and so forth: Please stop asking me if I want to enable AI. Or use your janky AI tool. Or load my documents or pictures with a bunch of useless, off-putting, earth-killing AI junk. I don't want it. I SAID I don't want it. Stop offering.

Our friend, poet and activist Sarah Clancy, is on the Spectre, one of the boats on the Flotilla which was attacked last night. Contact the Taoiseach and Tánaiste to demand protection, there must be safe passage for all trying to break apartheid Israel's illegal siege of Gaza. #LiftTheSiege

I say this as a flotilla participant: we cannot let drone attacks distract from the genocide. Israel has murdered at least 84 people in Gaza so far today, with the real number likely far higher. Governments need to sanction this rogue state, not just protect their own citizens

CRACKS (1975): Legendary Sesame Street animation that was, for decades, considered lost media until it popped up on YouTube. Creepy, queasy, and wonderfully weird, it features legendary sax player Mel Martin and Dorothy Moskowitz from experimental rock band The United States of America.

i was just thinking the other day how ray-ban wayfarers have been timelessly cool for like 50 years and it's hilarious how they just let zuck totally shit all over that

A Happy Batman Day to all who celebrate.

"I had a campaign ready, I had groups throughout the country, we probably had 200 or 300 people dedicated to the campaign. We were ready to go."

Dutch late night TV has its take

Sally Rooney won the Sky Arts award for literature for Intermezzo. Her editor collected it for her as she couldn't travel in case of arrest for her support for Palestine Action. "to reiterate... and my solidarity with the people of Palestine." We are proud of her always. #BDS #SolidarityIsAVerb

Took the velorail home from work today … walking!

🔥 Powerful message to our government from Rebecca Heslin, chair of the Dublin Branch of IPSC and from Irish Psychologists for Palestine at our demonstration at the Dáil today. "Stop telling us how you feel about genocide and tell us what you're going to do." #SanctionsNow #FreePalestine

🇮🇱 Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “There’s a business plan on Trump’s table to turn Gaza into a real estate bonanza. We paid a lot of money for this war. Now we need to divide how we make a percentage. We did the demolition phase. Now we build. It’s much cheaper.”

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

Remember this. The Nazis were defeated by geologists and car mechanics and school teachers and milkmen. Ordinary people from all over the world who risked their own lives to put the fascists in the ground where they belong.
