ICYMI 🎙️ We discussed the Iran protests and Argentina accountability with @gissounia.bsky.social How are the current protests in Iran related to the 2022 ones? And what means are protesters using to get evidence out & fight for accountability? Listen: www.asymmetricalhaircuts.com/episodes/epi...

Initially this episode was supposed to focus on the complaint we filed in Argentina in mid Dec & UN reform & impact on documentation bodies. But then last month the Islamic Republic killed thousands of protesters in just two days… Without meaningful accountability cycles of violence will continue.

The gang was all there for #Kabuga at the #IRMCT only to learn it was the last ever hearing in the #ICTY's legendary courtroom 1 where I spent a big chunk of my late twenties with accused Yugoslav war criminals @lucyjgaynor.bsky.social @janethanderson.bsky.social @mollyquell.bsky.social

A friend sent me the only #autism take you need "The existence of Dutch people with autism - whose two fundamental beliefs are that no one should take pain killers for any reason and that sprinkles on bread are a health breakfast - should be all the proof we need that Tylenol isn't the cause"

Out now on #Patreon 🎙️ For our September episode of the War Criminals Book Club, we reviewed 'The Prosecutor, the Defender, the Father and His Son', about war crimes in #Bosnia & a fictional trial at the #ICTY "Everyone came out looking bad" - we agreed👇 www.patreon.com/c/Asymmetric...
