"The main actors of the genocide will have to answer to justice."

Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez says the ceasefire deal ending Israel's war on Gaza should not mean Israel’s conduct should be forgotten, saying “there cannot be impunity”.

"The case is proceeding."

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says the US-backed agreement to end Israel's war on Gaza will have no bearing on his country’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

It infuriates me that as human-made porn is being increasingly censored across the board, AI porn is not only allowed, but celebrated. And AI porn exists because of stolen content from non-consenting, unpaid human pornographers. It's maddening.

“I still can’t believe how unhinged the last update was. Not only the nudity but the motions, boobs bounces more realistically, it’s incredible.”

Elon Musk's xAI seems to have relaxed filters on Grok's video generation, allowing users to create and share explicit AI pornography.

Social media Zionists have gotten their marching orders and now they’re posting this article about reprisals against gangs that Israel armed to rob aid convoys.

There were reprisals against Nazi collaborators after WWII as well, so if they want to criticize such actions, they can start with those.
And here’s the Palestinian idea of peace.

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

Scalzi reading Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville’s Ghost and finding the American family relatable.

So sad that you can’t annotate books or anything (also you don’t need to understand absolutely everything in a story to enjoy or get value from it)

Most "classics" are boring as fuck to a modern reader in no small part because the context of the story is not understood by them and so many of the allusions and "inside jokes" known to then-contemporary readers have been lost in time and in translation

Just Scalzi making a self-serving case that “interesting” books should appeal to a focus group in Ohio

The idea that not understanding a work of art makes it "boring" and not, in many cases, *more* interesting because you get to learn stuff, is nonsense

This is a sign of immense weakness. It’s like a mobster asking others if they’d be interested in a shakedown because their first targets didn’t cooperate.

uncomfortable seeing pro-AI people developing persecution complexes; the entire material economy and tech sector is lined up to benefit you at the exclusion of people who feel moral qualms about these things, and you want, what, everyone to just bow at your feet?

They should rename the box AppleTV minus AppleTV
jimmyjazz1968.bsky.social
The reason it was called Apple TV+ is because their streaming box is called Apple TV. They'll presumably have to rename that now.
