Barry Malone @malonebarry Not only did Israel systematically hunt down and kill almost every journalist in Gaza, they murdered more than 700 of their family members also. This slaughter went on while many of the world's most prominent journalists stayed quiet. It is an eternal stain on our profession.

Universal basic income is nothing less than a goddamn human right just as much as universal healthcare and education are. And I don't care if anyone works less because we should be working less. We should have shorter weeks instead of bullshit jobs. We have the productive capacity to meet ALL NEEDS.

People keep mistaking genuine horror for politicking.

The people who supported the DOJ under Biden/Trump condone child rape. They defended officials who protected child rapists.

Other people saw this as a clear moral horror and condemned the DOJ. That's the actual divide. It's not between parties.

“Like Prime, but with human beings.”
“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said at a border security conference in April, according to the Arizona Mirror. The administration’s goal, he said, was to deport immigrants as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.”

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing.

This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

Du har de som bruker kjendisstatusen sin for å komme på TV og snakke om at de nekter å la seg kneble, og så har du de som bruker den for å tvinge verdens oppmerksomhet over på noen andre den aktivt prøver å glemme - som de sultestreikende fangene denne dama blir arrestert for å uttrykke støtte til.

Professional societies keep beclowning themselves buying into a lie about what an LLM "summary" is. They are inherently counterfeit: not an epistemic product of the ideas in the source, but summary-shaped text linguistically based on *other* works (in the training corpus) that use related language.

While none of these are acceptable in any way, shape or form, it's remarkable how many have no clear ideological motive, or are enacted by petty criminals or neo-nazis. It's directly counter to the idea that pro-Palestine marches are their sole and major cause.

Israel has killed over 30 000 children in #Gaza.

" #Germany approved a controversial $3.1bn weapons deal with #Israel on Thursday which will see Tel Aviv supply Berlin with Arrow 3 missile defence systems...

It follows a similar $3.5bn agreement... making the two contracts... worth over $6.6bn."

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
Screenshot from project 2025 that says By statute or regulation, CDC guidance must be prohibited from taking on a prescriptive character. For example, never again should CDC officials be allowed to say in their official capacity that school children "should be" masked or vaccinated (through a schedule or otherwise) or prohibited from learning in a school building. Such decisions should be left to parents and medical providers. We have learned that when CDC says what people "should" do, it readily becomes a "must" backed by severe punishments, including criminal penalties. CDC should report on the risks and effectiveness of all infectious disease-mitigation measures dispassionately and leave the "should" and "must" policy calls to politically accountable parties. Conflicts of Interest. There was a time when the CDC could not take money
