Actor Josh O'Connor interviewed by Dazed Digital: "The people outraged about that are often people who cuts arts funding."

"The people outraged about [climate protesters symbolically defacing art] are often people who cuts arts funding."

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

You must go in quest of yourself, and you will find yourself again only in the simple and forgotten things. Why not go into the forest for a time, literally? Sometimes a tree tells you more than can be read in books…

A mother of five describes leaving their home and husband during Israeli bombardment of Gaza city.

"Whole residential blocks were leveled on top of their inhabitants" in Gaza.

I start to write, then delete, speculating that even the un-done words are registered somewhere, and I start again. Reserve your mourning for the thousands of innocents. Where hearts are broken into unrecognizable pieces, tread lightly.

Italian dockworkers threaten Israel cargo ban if Gaza flotilla blocked “If we lose contact with our boats … even for just 20 minutes, we will shut down all of Europe,” dockworker says.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

If a child anywhere in the world starves in 2025 it is on purpose.

Congratulations! Look at you out here gettin shit done! 🎉

If you’re not going to clean the air to prevent kids from becoming diseased (which is only going to increase with measles on its comeback tour because Lucifer and his followers have annihilated public health & mandatory vaccine schedules), then …wear a mask.

As if it's a war with actual battles, and not executioners hacking at trapped innocents. The "pauses" are nothing but lunch breaks for the murderers.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Can I sit with you?

Screenshot of New York Times opinion piece by Bret Stephens titled "No, Israel Is Not Committing Genocide in Gaza." May god have mercy on his soul.

Let this execrable publication decompose in the filth it has thus piled. I hope these people dream of Nuremberg, because I sure as hell do.

I went to the Diane Arbus show at the Park Avenue Armory yesterday, 454 photographs all titled in this format. I am going to post some of my favorites in the 🧵 below. Any one of these would make an excellent short story title.

How many more. How many. How.

What has it been like shifting from reporter to media executive, managing a staff instead of filing stories yourself? And do you write any of the jokes at The Onion? Or are you strictly managing the business? The Onion’s process is deeply, beautifully inefficient. Every day, our writers take 150 headlines into a physical writers room in Chicago and whittle them down to maybe one or two. These people throw away the funniest sentence I will ever write in my life six times by noon every weekday. The point of taking over this place was to preserve this process, which I learned this week is almost assuredly more rigorous than The New York Times. That’s why I don’t touch any of it. I just try to get more people to pay attention to the output, and get our work into different mediums and new places. We brought back the paper, reinvested in the Onion News Network, bought a full page ad in The Times for something they were going to write anyway. The role is to make the world-class work they’re already doing seep into everyday American life more frequently, and that’s working. You actually can do this, you know. You can just try to highlight the beauty of things you like and not try to vampirically extract value at every step. If people get one thing out of this whole Q&A, I hope it’s that. You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People don’t actually want that shit. Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you. This is a valid way to run a company.

Also talked about The Onion being inefficient on purpose.

Haha, there's really no wrong answer

Stubborn as hell 😂
