Over on the "hellsite," I've curated the first few hours of reactions, mostly of Palestinians, to the ceasefire announcement. Because on this site, apparently no one cares about the genocide.

📌Η ατιμωρησία του Ισραήλ για τις κατάφωρες παραβιάσεις του διεθνούς δικαίου μετράει δεκαετίες και πρέπει να τερματιστεί. 📢Τίποτα δεν μπορεί να δικαιολογήσει τη γενοκτονία.

As the Gen Z protests shook Kathmandu, violent clashes and crackdowns caused deaths, while journalists who were personally affected vy mob attacks and arson that damaged media offices, making reporting difficult.

If you’re in the media covering the Trump antifa news and you do not start every antifa-related sentence by telling your audience what antifa stands for, you are choosing complicity in an ideology that will come after you next. It means anti-fascism. Tell your audience where you stand on fascism

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

Interesting that both Robert Redford, who played Bob Woodward in 1976, and the real Bob Woodward outlived the Washington Post.

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.
