From Dusk till Prawn

No.

I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.

Defying the Israeli ban on filming Gaza from above, Bowen instead describes the carnage & genocide he can see:

“I can tell you that communities in the north of Gaza that I knew well…with tens of thousands of people…are flat. There’s nothing left of them.”

What kind of calculated sadism starves infants to death? This genocide didn't just murder children - it murdered my faith in every principle I've studied for decades

Bob Carr former Australian Foreign Minister

Paediatric intensive care doctor Tanya Haj-Hassan on the psychological effect on Palestinian children in Gaza after what they've gone through.

*Astonishing* to see that it’s taken *two years* of completely open, calculated, systematic genocide before someone, anyone, goes on TV and tells one of these despicable shitehawks that the Israeli government have been lying about their crimes against humanity.

Gareth Barlow: "What is the situation in Gaza, just how dire is it?"

Bushra Khalidi from Oxfam talks about her colleagues in Gaza. You can hear the desperation & despair in her voice.

Solidarity to Bushra and all her colleagues.

In all this Bob Vylan pearl clutching some are conveniently forgetting the IDF is committing genocide.

A staggering 96 private jets are expected to fly in for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding – Supercar Blondie Almost 100 private jets are expected to touchdown in Venice, Italy, this week for the wedding of billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez

Wracked with guilt because I accidentally tossed a plastic jar in the trash and not the recycling bin 🫤

Like, how many songs are U2 planning to write about this because at this rate, the IDF are racking up Bloody Sundays at a rate of one every eight hours or so.

You’d think someone might ask why distributing aid in Gaza has proceeded like the opening twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan, every day, for weeks. Is it normal to fire machine guns at starving civilians trying to collect flour? Because we are currently at one, two or three massacres *per day*.

it's not worth holding detailed discussions about the capacities and merits of AI when literally any technology introduced into western capitalist economies will be used to hurt people. you could invent a new kind of cup and by the end of the month it will have been used to kill someone.

BBC headline: Group backed by Judi Dench takes over North Yorkshire nature site.

Why are they reporting it like it's a paramilitary coup?

Replacing public servants with chatbots, public offices with websites, workers with apps, conversation with notifications, making everything digitalised & lonely = cool, radical, the future

Hiring care workers = making us an island of strangers

Yeh ok Starmer you absolute tool

Just want to give a little shout-out to the people who stitch the little hanging loops on some types of towel. You're doing valuable work and I appreciate you.

Yeah probably.

I suppose what I'd say is that "mansplaining" implies that this is behaviour that is innate somehow to every "man", there's nothing a "man" can do to change what he is, he can only change his behaviour. It's a great pejorative though and I'm not arguing that saying it might be cathartic.

Respectfully disagree, I think the behaviour is the same, patronise already implies a gender if you consider its etymology.

I wish that people would criticise the behaviour rather than the vessel carrying out the behaviour. Patronising is already a better term than mansplaining and condescending would seem to accurately describe this behaviour.

I've started going into supermarkets and deliberately messing up the self checkouts because I find the voice that says "help is on the way" very reassuring in these troubling times.
