Recent disclosures from the Jeffrey Epstein files indicate that the convicted human trafficker received the kiswa (the cloth of the Holy Kaaba) as a gift from an Emirati businesswoman named Aziza Al-Ahmadi, who has since removed her LinkedIn profile.

Only discovered Eva zu Beck's content recently, even though she's been traveling for quite some time. She's such a good vibe. Everything is just lovely about her, how she approaches people & places. Now, she's in Africa with her dog Vilk. youtu.be/lJQfmn35j2o

This is the kind of reply I don't like. The world of Big Tech is turning absolute shit. Don't enforce their services. #bigtech #fail #domain

Ok, one strong criticism of #UpScrolled: search for #Holocaust if you want to see disgusting accounts. Be shocked when a cool account you follow has mutuals with the outright antisemitic cesspool accounts.

Scandi humor remains undefeated.

this is why ad profiling is an evil business.

Looks like both the #UAE & the #KSA have communicated that they will not allow the use of their airspace and land in case #Trump attacks #Iran.

TikTok now censors the word “Epstein” when mentioned in DMs by users in the U.S. Currently, the word is not being filtered for users in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.

I predict "we are so screwed" o' clock.

Palantir – and every corporation that profits from occupation, surveillance, genocide and war – has no place in our society and should never again receive a penny of public money. Me in @opendemocracy.net: www.opendemocracy.net/en/zarah-sut...

via @aljazeera.com "Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip has, in some cases, killed multiple generations of the same family. Over the last two years, more than 2,700 entire bloodlines have been wiped out and 6,000 families left with just a single survivor, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reported."

If your app is built on the idea of "breaking away from Big Tech", but your account verification email doesn't deliver to a personal domain address, then you are not breaking away from Big Tech. DKIM, SPF, DMARC properly set up, don't at me. Spammers won't bother with proper setup.

A reminder that The Voice of Hind Rajab is nominated for the Oscar in the Best International Feature Film category. The competing films are great, but Hind's story is a whole different league. #Gaza #Palestine youtu.be/hrssPpqv6vc

The way it is commercially shoved down our throats as an unavoidable utility in every app: fuck no. In eg protein folding, where it is explicitly trained on specifically relevant scientific data, and nothing else: I see the usefulness. voteyesornoai.com/vote/no

it's the ai ouroboroses circlefeeding off of each others' diarrhea in the race to the bottom.

Very large online platforms' argument against GDPR & DSA was that they can't control what people post online, why the platforms should be responsible. Now we are at the stage where it's the platform itself generating the content. Who's responsible now?

music choice for today: awda - عودة by zeyne #palestine music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Poppy and Jordan Fish did it again. Absolute banger. music.youtube.com/browse/MPREb...

The Voice of Hind Rajab is nominated in the non-English Golden Globe category. Here's hoping, against all odds. Justice for Hind. Justice for Gaza. Justice for Palestine.

- "you can't trust the government." - "you are the government." - "yes." ho-ly. fuck. what a fucking dumbass.

For many years #Palantir and #ICE. have been partners. Palantir has also been contracted by many EU member state governments. Palantir is making a profit with European tax payers’ money. Do we feel okay about that? (spoiler: we shouldn’t). No European government should work with Palantir

had to pay way too much for a domain reactivation, so i guess it's back to budget instant noodles this month.

Just the US fucking up shit, episode fuckhundreth.

Cool and normal, we should give them even more personal data.

We really do live in Idiocracy.

Iranian-Americans (or Iranians elsewhere in the West) moralizing with arguments like "protesting Gaza was easy", have nothing to say about ICE, or the corpofascist tech chud invasion on democracy in Europe are the easiest to block. Fuck your MAGA aligned MIGA.

Also shoutout to the SDF in Syria. Bijî Rojava! Bijî Kurdistan! Jin, Jîyan, Azadî! youtu.be/QvCr19sHwsU

I support the youth of Iran demanding an internal change, opposing external intervention. We know what happens when invaders arrive guns blazing, only going for the oil, not giving a fuck about anything else, destroying a wonderful ancient culture in the process. Fuck jingoism. Iran deserves better.

I return to Noel Kharman regularly. What a wonderful voice.

we're just 1 week into 2026 and it's already been shit.

Children begging in the streets for just a meagre apple, families waking up to their tents flooded, their mattresses drenched, their blankets barely giving any protection, the last buildings standing collapsing on those seeking shelter there. #Gaza www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Just like after 911, when dimwits attacked Sikhs & basically anyone who had the wrong skin color, except now we have social media mobs doxxing, harassing people, & the platforms doing fuck all about it. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Mashallah, he did the bravest one could in that chaos. He took 5 bullets. Wishing him a great recovery and good fortune, inshallah. (Give this guy a medal, not just figuratively.)

What stage of capitalism is this again?

honestly, better than "rage bait".

point out where mr ahmed al-ahmed, the hero of bondi beach is from, conflicting the "acceptable arab" narrative, get blocked. good that this platform is more civilized.
