KD did everything possible to lose this one, masterful really :/

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

I really appreciated this thoughtful piece about Ta-Nehisi Coates & Ezra Klein. Andrea Pitzer says “lost” folks like Klein “don’t have a clear idea how this moment fits into history and what it is exactly that they’re doing”. [degenerateart.beehiiv.com]

THE MEME IS REAL

Nothing to add.

‼️ÚLTIMA HORA | La Comisión de Investigación de la ONU concluye que Israel comete genocidio: “Los Estados deben actuar para pararlo”

You’ll never guess who bombed another school today.

"When you live to be over 70 it is sometimes tempting to think that you have seen it all and that nothing much will shock you. Then you hear something that stops you in your tracks, causing you to re-assess your definition of evil."

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Keep their voices alive.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

AI's best use case will always be scams. It's scamtech, top to bottom. Everything about it is crooked. Its bedrock is theft and its legacy is the destruction of the environment, both physical and virtual. Even most of its 'legitimate' uses are a form of lying. "I wrote this." "I created this."

My latest AI piece is about a man who wanted to use ChatGPT to develop an idea for a short story. Instead he experienced more than a month of psychosis as he conjured “ghosts” of famous philosophers in a quest for ultimate meaning and truth. By the end, he had stopped sleeping.

I've been waiting for years to watch this in decent quality and it's finally here ☺️🔥

Aid groups report that Israel is refusing to allow any olives or other “fruits or vegetables with pits or seeds that could be planted” into Gaza. They will only allow in pitted olives.

Rest in peace Ozzy, you wonderful, ungodly loon 🖤

Ozzy Osbourne, the frontman of Black Sabbath, died today, at 76. Osbourne—along with half of the musicians in Led Zeppelin and the key members of Judas Priest—was raised in the bombed-out ruins of the British Midlands. Read more: nyer.cm/iCI3UFJ

Gazans' View of the World by Nabil Abughanima

That last line hits hard

On the show this week: • UK outrage as chant in Glastonbury is deemed too far, yet genocide in Gaza deemed not far enough • Mainstream media goes all-in against Dem candidate for New York mayor Zohran Mamdani • How anti-Palestinian abuse became normalised in Israel Watch ▶️ youtu.be/ZjaEjI-G4CY

Did not think this skeet would age so well in just six hours Stop reading that paper. Stop expecting them to be better. Unsubscribe. Read wired or rollingstone or the ap instead and tell people in your circle you dont read the nyt or click on nyt links and why

I’m going to be very honest and clear. I am fully preparing myself to die under this new American regime. That’s not to say that it’s the end of the world. It isn’t. But I am almost 50 years old. It will take so long to do anything with this mess that this is the new normal for *me*.

BREAKING: Zeteo has released, globally, the film the BBC so controversially refused to air. "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" is now available to watch in full at gazadoctors.film and zeteo.com. Here's the trailer:

🚨 All hell just broke loose at BGSRacing at the finish for the Street Stocks! It’s 2:37 long but just watch it. I lost it at the flying kick into the windshield. 🚨

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

In light of Mamdani's performance, is astonishing there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Democratic establishment is discredited. Power is just sitting there like a mountain of gold but instead of being guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, it's fossils like Chuck Schumer

I feel like booing the world right now

So many incredibly specific things had to break in the worst way imaginable and so many people with the capacity to do something had to do nothing for us to get to this point.

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Cold, cold water.

Una manifestación en apoyo de Palestina cada fin de semana: consulta las fechas y ciudades

Wonder if there's a lesson in this. Oh well, probably not

This Israeli TV Channel has literally been inciting “genocide” onto thousands of screens. Read @premthakker.bsky.social's story: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

Read this horrifying testimony from Israel's massacre of people just trying to get food:

VÍDEO | Así es como los fondos proisraelíes están financiando el genocidio con tu dinero, por Helena Margarit

This is extremely significant. Former 🇮🇱 Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (2006-9) wrote in a May 22 Haaretz op-ed that Israel is: 🔴 intentionally waging a war of annihilation 🔴 premeditatedly adopting a policy of starvation 🔴 massacring civilians 🔴 making declarations of genocide A thread:

I was proud to sign this thoughtful letter to the Bluesky team advocating for members of the Bluesky community from Gaza, whose accounts are regularly removed without adequate explanation. Please read and consider signing.

Folks, get in here. We’re admitting all the dumb wrong shit we believed until we were way too old.

ANÁLISIS | 'Y Europa, ¿qué hacía mientras Israel asesinaba en Gaza y cantaba en Eurovisión?' Por Olga Rodríguez

Huge respect for Youth Demand, who disrupted Israel's performance at #Eurovision tonight. ✊🏽🇵🇸 During genocide it cannot be business as usual. We NEED civil disobedience & resistance of the status quo en masse. Marches alone aren't enough. The aim is to disrupt. #FreePalestine🇵🇸

Wes Craven's analysis of America from this interview he did in 1988 feels like it could have been from yesterday
