Why I changed my mind on the genocide charge against Israel For the past 21 months of horrific violence and heartbreaking suffering in the Gaza Strip, I’ve been wrestling with the contentious…

A tipping point is happening.

From the Chair of Israel Studies at UCLA:

We can remember them for you wholesale.

My anxiety is what it produces is often so bland and normative. As an autistic person I communicate differently - I'd rather that be acceptable than have to run my words through a machine to make them so. But I *can* write, so I take your point.

I loved Tenko!

Iannucci, on his best day, can't top this:

A very cool technology that allows students to interact with John Maynard Keynes’ ideas as he develops them is called a book

Confronting & Celebrating the Limits of the Body: Black Sabbath Live at Villa Park  | The Quietus Black Sabbath began with a broken body – Tony Iommi's industrial accident – it is both fitting and inspirational they end in the same way.

This, on the frailties of human bodies fighting the passage of time and Ozzy Osbourne’s last gig, is well worth a read. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...
