A superpower that one gains when getting older is looking at something, rolling your eyes for a second, and going further with your day.

“The West’s failure to oppose genocide in Gaza is a disaster for Palestinians. But there is also a boomerang effect at work here. Western political institutions have been shamed in the eyes of many of their own voters, deepening an already widespread cynicism about politics that is.”

“Even seasoned observers of Iran’s penal system are stunned by the pace of executions this year. The 1,025 people killed in the first nine months of 2025 compares with 1,001 in all of 2024.” www.thetimes.com/article/c1c4...

The UK is effectively being bullied into submission. The BBC personally apologised to Trump for upsetting him and he’s threatening to sue anyway. And it’s not like there’s anyone with a spine at the head of the UK gov willing to stand up to Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“The plan to use aid to tempt the Gaza population into an area under Israeli control, after two years of a war deemed genocidal by a UN commission, has echoes of other disastrous US policies in Afghanistan and Iraq.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Yesilgōz is een bewezen leugenaar. De ophef is daarom overbodig, want dit is gewoon een feit. Het zou de Nederlandse parlementaire pers sieren om eens niet mee te gaan in de VVD-spin.

God, these Epstein mails consist of a bunch of losers.

it's actually really hard to send an email that makes you and others sound like pedophile sex traffickers if that's not your intent. there's no cherry picking a tranche of hundreds of emails that out of context make you sound like one lmao

The U.S. gathered intelligence last year of Israeli officials discussing how their soldiers had sent Palestinians into Gaza tunnels the Israelis believed were potentially lined with explosives, according to two former U.S. officials familiar with the matter. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

“What does it say about us, as Lebanese, as Arabs, that we rent out our heritage? That the places meant to anchor us have become props for vanity? Perhaps it is not greed alone, but a deeper forgetting, a loss of measure.” newlinesmag.com/spotlight/je...

“It is not just older generations who have enjoyed seeing photographs of their forebears — Yazidi youth have also flocked to the exhibitions, recognizing that they are testimony and affirmation of their traditions, culture and presence in Iraq’s sociopolitical landscape.”

After months of verification and mapping, the archive now includes 248 confirmed white phosphorus strikes across South Lebanon (2023-2024). Only incidents with visual evidence were used, then geolocated, verified, and cross-checked with satellite imagery Part of my PhD research at TU Delft.

"Israeli soldiers . described a free-for-all in Gaza and a breakdown in norms and legal constraints, with civilians killed at the whim of individual officers" “If you want to shoot without restraint, you can,” [says] Daniel, the commander of an [IDF] tank unit"

I was reading this article, which there have been many, about work stress. What I’ve seen in practice, is that a lot of people find it difficult setting boundaries. In my view, there is nothing wrong with a 9-5 mentality. If an employer wants you to work more, then they better pay you more.

theres a whole category of newstertainment thats gotta go. and its "ask a really rich freak who is also evil and directly stealing from you what hes seen on the computer lately that has made him feel bad." the only -- ONLY -- story about this guy worth exploring is: he is getting rich spying on you

Indonesian friends will be protesting in at least 3 places (Jakarta, Bali, Lamogan) tomorrow! against giving the old murderous dictator (Soeharto) the title of national hero & for the release of activists arrested during the protests of late Aug. #FreeOurFriends #TolakGelarPahlawanSoeharto

GeoSpy AI attempted to do a geolocation in the occupied West Bank in Palestine. However, nothing beats the human eye, as @annonemo.bsky.social showed that the correct location was actually 19.6 km from what the AI and it’s founder claimed it was: 32.113212, 35.133272.

Suharto was a brutal dictator who disappeared and mass murdered many innocent civilians in Indonesia and East Timor. Any attempts to name him as a national hero is a spit in the face of all those who suffered at his hands. www.arabnews.com/node/2621860...

Reminds me of the old aesthetics of fascism.

Hashim and his family, who are members of the Zaghawa, were forced to flee to El Fasher. Two of his brothers were killed. “After almost twenty-three years, genocide never ended,” he told me. “The world has just stood there watching, not taking any concrete action.”

There is no “domestic credibility” in the first place because the PA has lost legitimacy which is further evident by again undermining immediate and free democratic elections with the decision to name a replacement. carnegieendowment.org/middle-east/...

“It is important to note,” German foreign official Joachim Arschgesicht explained, “that Israel told us it has learned over the years to perceive the camera as a threat, and that the settlers acted in self-defence. The IDF is conducting its investigation.”

People would rather end up k-holing on camera than skip a podcast show.

Fascinating investigation by National News: A long-time employee of the UK’s embassy in Tel Aviv owns property in a settlement considered illegal under international law in the occupied West Bank that was built by an organisation now sanctioned by the British government.

"Hey, we would love to collaborate with you, geolocate an entire dataset, and do some additional verification for us for free. In the meantime, we'll discuss if a contributing line is possible with our editors, which would be great visibility for you!"

Call it the AIPAC effect: “Biden officials worried that attaching their names to a recommendation to limit American support for Tel Aviv would hinder their future career prospects, the former senior official said, ‘which is in itself appalling.’ ” www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-...

Brett McGurk led the pushback to reducing support, two officials said; the controversial Biden adviser often behaved as “Israel’s lawyer” when U.S. officials questioned the country, another senior Biden-era colleague told HuffPost.

REUTERS: “The U.S. gathered intelligence last year that Israel’s military lawyers warned there was evidence that could support war crimes charges against Israel for its military campaign in Gaza – operations reliant on American-supplied weapons, five former U.S. officials said.”

He gets grilled about it because the political consensus within the Democratic Party on the issue is breaking down and as a result elite backlash against the ascendant POV is at an all time high. Trump doesn't get grilled about anything because Republicans aren't actually held to a standard at all.

Do I have anybody following me who has knowledge about airsoft guns? I'm looking at something in relation to an analysis and would like a second opinion.

Dutch Court has concluded there is a serious risk Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and violating IHL. The Dutch State’s obligation to prevent “(further) genocide” would be “of little practical use” if the Netherlands had to wait for the ICJ to issue a final ruling on the matter.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose. Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

It often feels disappointing when some people claim that open researchers have been absent or avoided Gaza while in reality, there have been a couple of us, who’ve worked on it the past two years day in, day out, without much pause and still continue to do so now with a lot of dedication.

Appears journalists who were allowed into Gaza under IDF supervision were taken to the archeological mound Tell Ali Muntar and shown the massive destruction in Shujaiyah. Video from BBC (h/t @easybakeovensz.bsky.social) shows the schools at around 31.4959,34.4744: www.bbc.com/news/article...

The BBC visits an IDF outpost on the eastern edge of Gaza City: “The Gaza of maps and memories is gone, replaced by a monochrome landscape of rubble stretching flat and still for 180 degrees…there's almost nothing left to orient you here or identify the neighbourhoods.”
