Israeli army to launch criminal investigation after soldier strikes Jesus statue in Lebanon Netanyahu says ‘harsh disciplinary action’ will be taken after IDF confirms sledgehammer photo is authentic

Killing tens of thousands of children is a-okay, but defacing a statue is a criminal offense? Seriously Israel? FFS

I work in tech, which means I always feel a little compromised ethically. It’s often not intolerable, but I have in fact quit a job because they asked the wrong things of me.

Money is complicated… but if you work at Palantir and you’re NOT a Nazi, I don’t know how you can spend another day there.

The inventor of speakerphone should be jailed. It is a fine invention, but it relies on people in general being aware of, and to care about, fellow humans. Way to misread the room...

I've written a little book that says I own Chuck's house. He'd better start packing his bags...

I was going †o say Jesus H Christ, but that's probably the wrong response. Anyway, I've written a little book that says I own Chuck's house, so...bad luck dude.

There's going to be quite the celebration in this house when Murdoch kicks the bucket. (Unfortunately there are more to come...)

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.

Israeli politicians/media have 'emptied' the term antisemitism of 'analytic meaning', Israeli university finds Zionists have reduced antisemitism — which should be carefully and properly used to describe a vile form of racism — to catch-all slur

Dear Viktor,
I hope this fax finds you well.
Sorry to hear about your loss in the Hungarian election, but as they say ‘shit happens’.
I have spoken to Peta Credlin and we both agree that the best strategy for future elections is for your party to become even more right wing.

Regards

Going to ask J D Vance to come support the football team my son’s playing against next week

Did Iran offer to rename the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of Trump? Because if they did that I'm pretty sure he'd let them have all the nukes they want.

I know whose side I'm on in this argument.

Cruel and unusual punishment - inhuman or degrading treatment - in violation of established human rights since 1689.

Bingo! Section 230 no longer applies: they are publishers and can be sued for anything published on their platforms.

The argument seems to be that the Taliban are bad guys who break all the rules - they kill civilians! - so we break all the rules too. That's quite...a thing?

Do you realize that makes you a bad guy too?

Real wars are bad enough, but the culture wars are endlessly tiresome

Melania got everyone talking about Epstein again, so I fully expect Trump to do something completely unhinged any minute now.

Morning. ☕️

Could an Australian journalist publish a "Where Are They Now?" piece exploring the board memberships, consultancy roles, and other paid jobs of former AUS Govt ministers (both Coalition & Labor)? I wonder how many now have lucrative roles in industries over which they once had influence. 🤔 #auspol
