The story of the last date in Gaza How a small piece of dried fruit embodies a world of meaning.

"In #Gaza, we have redefined wealth. Wealth is not what you hoard but what you give away and is measured in the strength of the bonds that hold families and neighbors together. In a world that tries to reduce us to statistics, we have become storytellers." - Asem Alnabih, tinyurl.com/3jrr5evt

The US regime deploys the military to take over the city of Washington. A gunman fires 180 bullets into the CDC. A MAGA-inspired gunman hunts Democrats. Freedom of expression is gone. Trump has created "military zones". Our military is being turned against us. We are in BIG trouble. #FascistMaga

Today, #Israel targeted and killed 5 journalists: correspondents Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, Moamen Aliwa. The U.S., the U.K., and Germany are as responsible as Israel for this assault against the press and international human rights. #Gaza

In memoriam: 80 years ago, 246,000 people were killed in a single flash of fire of light at the hands of the U.S. military. Remember the dead and survivors of #Nagasaki.

US issues sanctions against Francesca Albanese, UN official investigating abuses in Gaza Trump administration targets special rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza, in latest action against critics of Israel’s war

β€œWe must stop this #genocide, whose short-term goal is completing the ethnic cleansing of #Palestine, while also profiteering from the killing machine devised to perform it,” Albanese said... β€œNo one is safe until everyone is safe.”

I'm with her.

The devaluation of the art of #humantranslation is not just about threatening an already underpaid profession: It's pretending that the "sagging nutsack" of AI, to use Kristy Lowe's apt image, can do our work and selling fraudulent products to the public. Shame on @globalscribe.bsky.social.

Dismay? How about fury? The devaluation of the art of translation is not just about threatening an already underpaid profession: It is pretending the the sagging nutsack of AI, to use Kristy Lowe's apt image, can do this work, which it cannot, and serving up fraudulent translations to the public.

The sustemic failure is white supremacy and, oh yes, technofeudalism.

"Fame is a social phenomenon and society, to be able to function, must separate people into categories and types. But what it absolutely cannot accept and so can only recognize in retrospect is the one of a kind." -- Hannah Arendt on Walter Benjamin's posthumous fame at the Goethe Society, 1968

Kenyan writer NgΕ©gΔ© wa Thiong'o dies. He was tipped to win the Nobel Prize for Literature many times, leaving fans dismayed each time it was not awarded to him. His family and he were victims of white colonial genocide. He wrote from prison and, indeed, continuously for 60 years. RIP, master.
