Hooked on dopamine, fuelled by testosterone, powered by AI: this is the broligarchs’ war Three weeks ago, briefly, the world was focused on Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of women and girls. Now, as conflict rages, the tide of hyper-masculinity has risen again, writes Carole Cadwalladr

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Understand that Israel assassinated Anas Al-Sharif after approving the plan to invade Gaza City.

They knew he would not leave the city and would cover the assault and killed him ahead of it. Let’s just be very clear here.

Sinai for Israelis, Starvation for Gazans: Egypt’s Border Hypocrisy As Palestinians remain trapped and starved in Gaza, Egypt continues to keep the Rafah crossing - the besieged strip’s only exit - tightly sealed.

There were several Israeli families on my EgyptAir flight back to the US last week, after having been thwarted as part of the Global March to Gaza by the Egyptian authorities from traveling to the Sinai to try to break the siege.

The ‘chaos’ of aid distribution in Gaza is not a system failure. The system is designed to fail. Israel is using the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to condense Palestinians into increasingly narrow enclaves, forcing displacement through need. We are witnessing the rise of a new humanitari...

‘I came out as autistic. Everyone said: That explains a lot’ | The Observer An autism diagnosis helped Laurie Penny make sense of their experiences, but its real value was in helping them understand the rest of society

This piece - about the consequences of coming out as autistic- is very important to me, and pretty damn personal.
I hope people find it useful.

“Do Not Participate”: The Absurd Excuse Notre Dame Gave Me When They Canceled My Talk What a tragedy when we cannot rely on universities to house our most critical conversations.

This is a powerful letter

They might also fire him for his breeches, and the mess he left in them.

Truth

Trump’s Mob-Boss Offer to Us Jews: Accept “Protection”—or Else Under the guise of “fighting antisemitism,” Trump is shredding our rights and telling us we are safe.

My latest piece @thenation.com is how perilous it is for us Jews to swallow the lie that a criminal regime of antisemites is really “fighting antisemitism”. The reality? Trump has ordered a hit on Judaism. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

US-Zionist alliance resumes its genocidal bombing of Gaza: now is the time for action and resistance The US-Zionist genocidal assault on Gaza is continuing, with over 100 airplanes dropping US-made weapons on Palestinians in schools, refugee camps, mosques and residential buildings, with over 200 …

"This is the time to make it clear that their repression, their bans, their designations and their arrests — their state terror and imposed fear — will never allow them to get away with genocide. It is the time to be louder, clearer and stronger than ever."

‘Startup Nation’ Groups Say They’re Meeting Trump Officials to Push for Deregulated ‘Freedom Cities’ The architects of projects like Próspera are drafting legislation to create US cities that would be free from federal regulations.
