The campaign has drawn scrutiny, with critics saying it is not realistically portraying the country’s diversity and is sending messages that feel exclusionary.

Israeli soldiers have described a free-for-all in Gaza and a breakdown in norms and legal constraints, with civilians killed at the whim of individual officers.

“If you want to shoot without restraint, you can,” one commander says.

It’s a genocide.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

PRESS RELEASE: A person from the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than someone in the bottom 50% produces all year🔥

Our new report exposes how the super-rich are using their influence to keep the world hooked on fossil fuels.

👉 oxf.am/climate-plun...
We must break the chokehold of the super-rich over climate policy by taxing their extreme wealth, banning their lobbying and instead put those most affected by the climate crisis in the front seat of climate decision-making,” said Amitabh Behar.

The emissions of the richest 1% are enough to cause an estimated 1.3 million heat-related deaths by the end of the century, as well as $44 trillion of economic damage to low- and lower-middle-income countries by 2050. The impacts of these climate damages will disproportionately impact those who have done the least to cause the climate crisis, particularly people living in the Global South, women, girls and Indigenous groups.

Floods, storms and droughts have uprooted people across the globe as rising temperatures intensify conflict and hunger Climate-related disasters forcibly displaced 250 million people globally over the past decade, the equivalent of 70,000 people every day, according to a report by the UN refugee agency (UNHCR). Floods, storms, drought and extreme heat are among the weather conditions driving conflict and displacement, alongside slow-onset disasters such as desertification, rising sea levels and ecosystem destruction, which are threatening food and water security.

"Data center water usage closely parallels energy usage and carbon emissions. "
www.eesi.org/articles/vie...
Highlights: Data center developers are increasingly tapping into freshwater resources to quench the thirst of data centers, which is putting nearby communities at risk. Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons per day, equivalent to the water use of a town populated by 10,000 to 50,000 people. With larger and new AI-focused data centers, water consumption is increasing alongside energy usage and carbon emissions. Novel technologies like direct-to-chip cooling and immersion cooling can reduce water and energy usage by data centers. Data centers have a thirst for water, and their rapid expansion threatens freshwater supplies. Only 3% of Earth’s water is freshwater, and only 0.5% of all water is accessible and safe for human consumption. Freshwater is critical for survival. On average, a human being can live without water for only three days. Increasing drought and water shortages are reducing water availability. Meanwhile, data center developers are increasingly tapping into surface and underground aquifers to cool their facilities. Data center water usage closely parallels energy usage and carbon emissions. As data centers use more energy for their typical data center operations and to meet AI requests, they consume larger amounts of water to cool their processor chips, so as to avoid overheating and potential damage. Similarly, as energy use increases in data centers, so do carbon emissions. Source: https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/data-centers-and-water-consumption

🚨 Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta describes evidence of systematic organ theft from Palestinian bodies recently returned from Israeli custody, saying hearts, lungs, kidneys, and corneas were surgically removed from those killed in Gaza. He noted surgical cuts and stitching from the chest to the abdomen, opened with a medical bone saw, and skin showing burn marks from preservation chemicals. Sahat English 🇵🇸 @sahatenglish In an interview with @AJEnglish @AJArabic , Dr. @GhassanAbuSitt1 revealed medical evidence indicating that vital organs — including hearts, lungs, kidneys, and corneas — were surgically stolen by the Israeli occupation from Palestinian martyrs in #Gaza. He noted that the chest cavities were opened using a medical bone saw, organs were extracted without damage, and skin bore burn marks consistent with preservation chemicals. These findings, he says, point to systematic organ removal under Israeli custody.

The fact that universities continue to do business with the likes of OpenAI says a lot about how they value human contribution to knowledge via human labour. The chant: "AI is the future" from Big Tech and govt, when the present is pure exploitation, should be the cue for revolt, not embrace.

This connection isn’t articulated often enough.
That is why care has transformative power beyond health. To be truly listened to – to be recognized not as a case but as a person – can change not just how one experiences illness, but how one experiences oneself and the world. It can foster the capacity to care for others across differences, to resist hatred and violence, to build the fragile social ties upon which democracy depends. By contrast, when medicine is reduced to data and transactions, it not only fails patients and demoralizes doctors. It also degrades democracy itself. A system that alienates people in their moments of deepest vulnerability – bankrupting them, gaslighting them, leaving them unheard – breeds despair and rage. It creates the conditions in which authoritarians gain traction.
