Al-Mayadeen says that the deal is done and Hamas and other factions have agreed.

John Woo cameo in Bullet in the Head

I highly recommend this one! So so bleak.

Finished reading Lolita yesterday (finally!) Incredible book, deserving of its classic status. Biggest surprise to me was just how darkly funny it is (the climax is so bizarre and tragicomic). Got to watch the Kubrick film I suppose (one of two films of his I still have left to see), but I find it

In this house, we always believe in the right to armed resistance for oppressed peoples. As espoused and popularised by the great martyr of the subcontinent, the Shaheed-e-Azam, Bhagat Singh: Inquilab Zindabad!

you really couldn’t make a funnier social media site if you tried

the words every girl wants to hear

Again, this wouldn't even be a debate if mosques were raising money for ISIS. A lot of people who call themselves allies should really do this exercise on a daily basis. Ask yourself "if it was Muslims doing this, would I react the same way".

If you agree that Israel is committing genocide, you should loudly condemn organizations raising money for Israel. That includes churches and synagogues. Period.

This is probably the last actual benefit of being a British citizen which is that they'll intercede on your behalf when things like this happen and in the face of their pet pariah state they refuse to even do that.

finally got around to making my Karachi stamp

Can donate to the mosque here, feel its important to show the community solidarity at this time. www.peacehavenmosque.co.uk/support-us

You won’t see the PM commenting on this, or talk about the need to offer security protection at mosques or politicians from other countries chiming in Because Muslims, black and brown people’s lives are worth jackshit in this country. I’m so fucking sick of this shit

I look forward to international media covering this nonstop and heads of state making a million comments about it

Ahh going down the Elon route. Maybe just par for the course if you’re a tech CEO

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Another Keir Starmer masterclass

society isn't something to be reflected by their shitty app, instead it's something for them to mold to some perverted ideal of relationship that exists in their minds. we've seen it with zuck, jack, elon, and now the bsky team. these people are messianic sociopaths

i love how instead of just building a place for people to interact every one of these intellectually stunted coders thinks they're on some divine mission to shape human behavior

Danny Glover's 2009: playing the American president in Roland Emmerich's 2012 and serving as an associate producer on Elia Suleiman's THE TIME THAT REMAINS

Arabic has 348 words for "lion". Here is the cover of Ibn Khālawayh's (d. 980, Baghdad) book on the subject.

BREAKING: The Global Sumud Flotilla says one vessel, Marinette, is “still sailing strong.” Over the last 24 hours, 21 boats were confirmed intercepted and 20 presumably intercepted. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/qngd86

Mathematics in action

These people are enforcing a Black Mirror episode on literal genocide survivors & then crying about how they're the mistreated ones because their userbase wants moderation that isn't racist and anti-trans. Loser behaviour.

If Bluesky's admins are getting frustrated at being 'brigaded endlessly' and crying about it they should try putting themselves in the shoes of Palestinians trying to post for help here to keep their families alive through a genocide & being forced to make new accounts every day as mods delete them.

logging on to AO3

how do they need so long to board the sailboat? if there had been any fighters on that boat they'd been able to take out half of that loser squad before they boarded the sailboat 😭😭

Check out how many heavily armed losers the IDF sent to take over this tiny sailboat

Every genocidal stormtrooper on the ocean doing illegal kidnapping is one less killing Gazans and Lebanese and Yemenis

And by the way, it is also not insignificant that Israel has expended the additional effort of boarding the ships, taking the 500 flotilla volunteers captive, etc. The IDF is at its breaking point after 2 years of this. That is more strain on the army committing genocide.

BREAKING: Union in Italy has announced a general strike on October 3, as per their promise if the Gaza flotilla was attacked, as it has been now.

Some great reporting here: “One of the most prominent YouTubers, Anthony Styles, 59, has since deleted his AJ Audits channel after it was revealed he is a convicted paedophile. He was known to frequent protests… where demonstrators claimed to stand for the “protection of women and children”

“The floatilla is white saviorism that reveals the participants’ problematic privilege”

The Sumud flotilla covered about 20 nautical miles in the past 5 hours and have less than 90 to go. They anticipate another attempt at interception sometime after dark, and sunset is not far off. Seems like they're traveling at about 4-6 knots presently, which would be <20 hours travel remaining.

THREAD 🧵 #OnThisDay 25 years ago, Israeli forces shot and killed 12-year-old Palestinian boy Muhammad al-Durrah in Gaza as his father tried to shield him from bullets. The moment shook the world and turned al-Durrah into a symbol of the second Palestinian Intifada ⤵️

Tony Blair should not be allowed near Arabs or Muslims, or any human beings in general. A truly demented cap on the 21st century so far when he’s being floated as some kind of viceroy to oversee the Gaza Strip. The British mandate: first as tragedy, then as farce.

There’s been alot of misinformation about countries protecting and aiding the Global Sumud Flotilla. Spain is the only country that is currently offering support all the way to Gaza. The Spanish Navy Ship is 10-12 miles behind the flotilla and its role is to be available to assist the flotilla.

I have a feeling the disdain is not actually about the human rights, somehow, as I never saw anyone mad last week about Kimmel taking Disney's money or Pedro Pascal for being in the israeli zombie TV show based literally on dehumanizing Palestinians

Hey can someone tell me the difference between the Riyadh Comedy Festival and the White House Correspondents' Dinner besides the much higher death toll of the attendees of the latter? Asking for a friend

absolutely incredible things are happening. someone should write a poem about it

Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month www.jstor.org/action/showL...

Just finished reading this. Surprisingly pretty short! Read the translated version (I’m that Punjabi who can’t read or understand Punjabi 😔 apart from when it overlaps with Hindi/Urdu). I was also surprised at how faithful the film adaptation is, there’s a couple of deviations but it mostly follows

You'll never find more eager participants in the border regime and the rhetoric designed to harden it than some second generation immigrants. The amount of "my parents came here the right way" I heard from people whose parents I know for a fact didn't blew my mind growing up.

Crazy how Gunn wrote the script before 1936 considering he is 59 years old

Digital IDs are a terrible, dangerous idea for numerous reasons. But, even on their own terms, what's the gap they're supposed to fill? It seems many people don't realise that we already have eVisas. All migrants get this "digital record" of their status and permission anyway.

Anyone else want to watch Stephen Chow as Garfield getting the shit kicked out of him from the Hong Kong 1994 movie Love on Delivery cause I can’t stop watching it

never not thinking about Love on Delivery

Again am still sick today, still far from reaching my goal. All I want now is a little rest, a small space where I can breathe again 💔😔 Repost help me reach it today
