Private finance for reconstruction. That's colonialist speak for corporate genocide profiteering.

The genocide is not over. Blair and Trump's colonialist occupational government, together with corporate 'aid', will strip Gazans of their land, culture, and homes.

A polite, very profitable genocide.

Tweet by @HFalconerMP:

"The rebuilding of Gaza will be one of the most challenging operations in modern times.

With a ceasefire in place, we must seize this moment.

That’s why this afternoon I convened partners at Wilton Park to drive forward private finance efforts for Gaza’s reconstruction"

Attached: presumably two images of said convention.

i mean, hell, the ghost of yotei meme going around about "catering to gamers vs catering to activists" is a prime example of this. they can't stand to see something be made outside of their Extremely Limited tastes so they have to tear it down

Jenna "the" Yow @jannouna.bsky.social · 1d

one of the reasons i feel like the games industry is unfortunately the prime spawning ground for AI is that gamers, as audience members, are /exactly/ that entitled to the level of individuality and personal catering

Chris Franklin @errant-signal.com · 1d

Even putting aside the fact that AI can't do this and will never be able to do this

Who would *want* this? Who wants a bespoke personal TV show? That they can't meaningfully engage anyone else with? That no human had a hand in crafting? You might as well tell someone about a cool dream you had.

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down.

If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid.

All women, children, and men over 50 were released under previous ceasefire agreements. It's important to make a record of all the pro-Israel propagandists spreading this lie and getting millions of views. Academics need to publish studies on how Zionist propaganda fell apart in the 21st century.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.
