Now, I care not who maintains the contrary, but all this is both foolish and unnecessary.

"We as Palestinians are often congratulated for our resilience. It has become the badge pinned on us—the costume of the noble victim. Our ability to breathe under rubble is praised as a virtue, when it’s actually an indictment of the world that put us there."

Gaza’s Broken Politics

Every movement that claimed to speak for Palestinians has failed them. The next chapter must belong to those who have endured the devastation.

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

Gaza Palestinians not Gazans. West Bank Palestinians not West Bankers. Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, not Israeli Arabs.

Decolonize your language.

Say Palestine. Say Palestinians.

The sequels I wanted from both movies were brand new original high concept scifi movies featuring amazing characters i’d never met before and exciting situations i’d never encountered. Not “What Flynn Did Next”.

He’s from the Mezco 5 points line. He was a 2020 Toy Fair exclusive. There’s a nice review of the figure here: thefigureinquestion.com/2024/07/29/3...

Oh yes. I hear you. I ended up working on intranets, writing and editing for government departments, libraries, hospitals and nonprofits. Dull work but steady and they actually need writers. They tend to be suspicious of AI, too.

Action figure photo showing a red Tyrannosaurus Rex buried up to its armpits in ash and rock, head tossed back, mouth wide open showing white, sharp teeth. Standing in front of the dino, looking stern, their head level with the dino’s snout, is cartoon superhero Space Ghost, wearing their signature while uniform with black hood, yellow cape, red belt and red and yellow bracelets.

Love this. Work the word “statistics” in there somehow and there will be a retroactive shift in the foundational frequency of the universe.
