Don't ask about Palestine at the Berlinale! Here's my question to the jury about selective solidarity of the film festival with the people of Iran and Ukraine vs. Palestinians. Wim Wenders (jury president) actually said: "We have to stay out of politics" #Berlinale2026

"In Mandarin, Malfoy 马尔福 (Ma er fu) contains phonetic elements that resonate with words associated with horses (马, ma) and good fortune (福, fu). Hanging Malfoy upside-down on a door or wall extends the same pun, suggesting “good horse fortune has arrived” in your home"

This is a pogrom

"Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit]."

"Whiteness" isn't really about sunlight or skin, it is the category that was created to constitute a legally and socially privileged group of European immigrants in contrast to enslaved Africans and indentured Asians.

Nach den ICE-Morden in den USA ist das Abgrenzungsbedürfnis in Europa groß. Dabei ist die Migrationsabwehr der EU keineswegs humaner – der Unterschied ist nur, dass die rechtlose Gewalt ins Mittelmeer und nach Nordafrika ausgelagert wird.

This is so cool!

Very disgusting. More "great minds" turn out to be Epstein besties & pedophiles. Here, Deepak Chopra, courtesy of @voiceofsandiego.org voiceofsandiego.org/2026/02/05/d...

UN Special Rapparteur on freedom of Expression Irene Khan on Germany: “A primary concern in Germany remains the use of anti-terrorism laws to restrict advocacy for Palestinian rights, chilling public participation and shrinking discourse in academia and the arts, the Special Rapporteur said.”

As @rinewithoutacat.bsky.social said: "This is a publicly-funded university, using public money to fight its own employees.”

there is an infamous 'joke' lecture they invited him to do about groping. they didn't just think it was acceptable, they thought it was hilarious. www.publicbooks.org/asimovs-empi...

I like to imagine that few commentators would publicly articulate a "slavery was good" argument--yet when it comes to the violent dispossession of Indigenous homelands, there seem to be many willing to speak up in defense of settler colonialism.

This is NOT, in fact, “how men behave.” It’s how predators and scumbags behave. We should never allow them to say “oh gee golly, it’s just because I’m a dude.” If someone you’re recommending a student to asks for “aesthetic details,” tell him NO and immediately WARN the student. FFS.

I am thinking about the fact that the Trump administration posts trophy shots of lawless airstrikes on social media while Obama’s authorized drone killings were done without fanfare.

Two HRW employees that make up the entirety of the organization's Israel and Palestine program are stepping down after the leadership blocked a report that deems Israel’s denial of Palestinian refugees the right of return a "crime against humanity." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

Not only was Epstein a sex-trafficking monster, he was also a first class scam artist whose offshore shell company received a massive multi-billion dollar cash injection from the Fed and taxpayers after the 2008 Wall Street debacle: craigunger.substack.com/p/jeffrey-ep...

“Decolonization cannot be conditional. It cannot operate on the assumption that Western institutions are the most competent custodians of non-Western heritage. Nor can it coexist with legal frameworks designed to protect the spoils of empire.” –Emiline Smith

"They went into hiding after Frank’s sister, Margot Frank, received and ignored a summons to go to a labor camp. They were hiding precisely because their existence in Amsterdam had become illegal the second that Margo failed to show up; they were all defying orders."

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

Die CDU und CSU sind übrigens nicht nur selbst korrupt, sie arbeiten auch mit korrupten Leuten zusammen. Nicht überraschend aber wichtig, das immer wieder klarzustellen. Und wirklich keiner übernimmt politische Verantwortung. So zerstört man den Glauben ins System. www.spiegel.de/panorama/jus...

My 3 year old is reading Foucault and asked me, tears in his eyes, "why is power in society only reified through force and surveillance?" I told him to read more Fanon

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

An impeccable summary by Alex Shams—long, but essential and monumental. When it comes to the Middle East, intricacies matter. You cannot be lazy about being informed; otherwise, by definition, you are not informed. So, a must-read:

I hope this is in no way interpreted as any kind of support for Trump’s deranged Greenland plan but given there’s a conversation about the future of Greenland, it should be noted that Denmark has in many ways treated Greenlanders disgracefully.
