Itโs hard to capture in a pic the size/energy of the crowd ready to march over the Syd Harbour Bridge but the station announcer at Wynyard:โdonโt worry about tapping off, Transport NSW will work it out, gates are open, youโre heading for George St to the park, keep going, letโs free Palestineโ ๐๐

Iโve seen estimate of 100,000-300,000 people in todayโs march. A sobering thought: these are also the conservative (100k) realistic (300k) estimates of people israel massacred in Gaza.

German public media are running fact checks on just how starving individual children are, while serious journalists propose that maybe the children are predisposed to hunger due to inbreeding (also they have low IQ, apparently). Germany unhinged is a truly terrifying spectacle.

there are 100,000 watching the Lions vs Wallabies game in Melb tonight. That, by conservative estimates, is the death toll in Gaza: an entire stadium of people, gone (the realistic death toll is 4 x this)

How to silence academic speech on Palestine
Jillian Segalโs proposal seeks to mobilise the IHRA definition of antisemitism and would have far-reaching implications for students and staff across Australian universities.
Me in @crikey.com.au about Jillian Segal's plan to "combat antisemitism". In universities, repression is already present. This is already the climate that we work, teach, and study in. Segal's plan, if adopted, will make our conditions much more precarious

A.I. Is Homogenizing Our Thoughts
Recent studies suggest that tools such as ChatGPT make our brains less active and our writing less original.
my @newyorker.com column this week goes in depth on how using AI makes us less original, unique, and creative as writers, thinkers, and communicators. Various new studies are proving that AI is a rampant force of homogenization: www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...

a very small gripe in the scheme of things, but I remember the days when fascist leaders had to be charismatic, powerful orators to sweep a nation in their bloodthirst. This dude announces WW3 like a failed middle manager on the verge of a breakdown

They just wanted flour.
Israel gave them bullets.
This is not war , itโs hunger genocide.
They died with empty hands, hoping to feed their kids.
Flour bags on backs.
Bodies on wooden planks.
We carry both now.
Gaza is starving , and bleeding.

I initially shared the 14,000 babies figure reported by BBC after it was said by a UN leader.
The time reference of all those babiesโ impending starvation death was inaccurate. I have now deleted that video.

Via Haaretz: Netanyahu has repeated his mission, saying โwe are going to take over all of Gazaโ, admitting that aid is being allowed in, only because Israelโs reputation is being damaged.
Yet our politicians pretend that Israel is not committing genocide or ethnic cleansing. A disgrace.

As the total ban on any humanitarian aid entering Gaza stretches into its third month, doctors warn babies are starving in hospitals.
Anything to say, at all, about this?

When we call for politicians to "do something," this is what we mean. Not speeches or op-eds or campaign rallies, but using every tool available to disrupt the advance of fascism.

For slightly stupid reasons that Anthony would specifically hate, his family doesn't have his phone at the moment, and so we can't get people's phone numbers.
