When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

There are two types of people in the world: Those for whom Trump has normalized being stupid Those for whom Trump has normalized mocking stupidity

In March 2001 the Taliban blew up a UNESCO world heritage site the Buddhas of Bamiyan and there was world wide condemnation. Last night the Israeli Occupation Forces blew up the UNESCO world heritage site of Beaufort Castle in Southern Lebanon - during a ceasefire. They used 700 tonnes of tnt

yougov.comHalf of Americans think the U.S. should arrest Netanyahu if he comes to the countryNearly half of Americans think that Benjamin Netanyahu is guilty of war crimes in Gaza, twice as many as think he is not guilty

It's been 21,577 days (59 years) since Israel invaded Gaza and turned it into the world's largest open air prison Most people left alive in Gaza today were born into occupation.

The unpredictability of people who watch their phones whilst walking should be studied by designers of heat seeking missiles and Formula One drivers alike. I have a theory as to why, but that's the subject of a whole other TED Talk

So let me get this straight... When AI was only a threat to the income of creatives the govt said "market forces" Now that Mythos is a threat to govt revenue, suddenly we need to put serious regulations in place?

Every member of NATO can just sit back on their lounge chairs. There is no way the US military industrial complex will allow them to leave.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Of all the people who could disappoint me, director Wim Wenders has to be the most shocking. His cowardice at the Berlin film festival was disgusting. Wenders has a lifetime of making films full of humanity and he has achieved that through his stubborn independence. 1/...

For the person who denied Harry Dean Stanton the possibility (probability) of an Academy Award because he refused to kowtow to Hollywood, he sure has fallen a long way. Ten years ago: Every film is political Berlin last week: We have to stay out of politics. 2/...

If only the question hadn't been about Gaza eh Wim? I understand how it happened, his minders at the Berlinale world have coached him like a hawk, but how did he allow himself to get trapped in that corner?

By giving her Nobel to Trump, Machado has acted shrewdly. It could have gathered dust on her wall or use it as a bargaining chip in a very high stakes game. Good on her for having the balls to do it.

JFK was the Wokest president the USA has ever had. Putting your name in front of his - on his MEMORIAL institution - is about as crass as one can get* * I'm going to look back at this and think "you were so naive"

He's also lying, he wasn't the " only person who got it right" He actually blamed Ukraine and said it was their fault. Well he had to please his sugar daddy

One of the best "features" of YouTube is content creators who DO NOT use background music. If something I'm watching brings in background music, I'm like a gunslinger with the remote.

If Trump really really wanted his Nobel peace prize, it's there for the taking Negotiate a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, statehood for Palestine and 1967 borders He can handle the backlash from the GOP, evangelicals and the lobby groups Taking candy from a baby #Gaza #NobelPeacePrize

Three options: 1. Jillian Segal resigns. 2. The PM asks for her resignation. 3. The PM fires her. Option 3 is the best option. Her appointment to the important role of Antisemitism Envoy was completely inappropriate. #auspol #ZionismIsNotJudaism

I realize I'm a weirdo. I'm moved by kindness. Actually, I'm moved by acts of humanity. I don't mistake politeness for weakness. I know I'm in a minority of 38M social media users. I don't have to agree with you on everything. Just be a decent human being.

Bluesky has a growth problem Bluesky has hit 38M monthly users, up 8M since March Once adding 5M users per month, it’s now slowed to 1.6M. A 60% drop But post volume is falling—more users, less activity It risks becoming a ghost town with a loyal but shrinking core #bluesky #fediverse

One kilogram of high explosive will obliterate a small car and destroy the four walls of a building. The IDF have dropped 100,000,000 kg of bombs on Gaza. One hundred million kilograms! More than all the bombs dropped on London, Dresden and Hamburg during World War 2 #Gaza #Palestine #Genocide

What happened to the astute Anthony Albanese from before the landslide election? How did he transform into a recalcitrant schoolboy quoting from a sanitized script? Honor the will of the people and you might regain some dignity. #Gaza #Palestine #Albanese

Julian Leeser likes to throw around accusations of flouting the law and conventions, but I suggest he familiarize himself with the Rome Statue before he and Penny Wong et al find themselves being the subject of an unplanned overseas delegation Censure is one thing, Silencing is complicity.

Senator Penny Wong's sanctioning of Mehreen Faruqi is quite specific. I wonder where she got that idea from? She claims it's because of decorum, but what it really seeks to do is silence a voice speaking out for over 80% of Australians. Decent Australians. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
