Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

It's funny how many people will do anything to avoid saying the word rape.
I just watched someone change "graped" to "fucked" when they were told to call it rape.
That discomfort you feel at the word "rape"? THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD USE THE WORD.

My friend posted this heartbreaking comment when he shared the image below on Facebook: "The glaciers I worked on and around in my field area in Patagonia 1995-1998 are now gone. Their last moraines now hold back small alpine lakes in the cirques."
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

2) He got OLC to make up a fake war to justify killing real people.

If Hipkins thinks trans kids, whose identities have been stripped from the sex ed curriculum, whose community events have been literally invaded by violent bigots, whose ability to access healthcare just got banned, aren't at risk now, what exactly is his definition of "at risk"
Hipkins response to me was basically, "we absolutely support trans people & will reverse it, but we don't want to start a culture war that would put trans kids at risk."
It doesn't make sense. WP has already started the war, TPM & the Greens response didn't start a flare up of hate afaik.
