I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Why a small indie game developer put Palestinian liberation before profit A small indie game developer joined the No Games for Genocide campaign, even though it meant giving a significant chunk of money back to Microsoft.

Microsoft is the priority target for @nogamesforgenocide.com given the tech corp's ties to the IDF, & small indie developer @allwillrise.bsky.social recently broke contract with Xbox to support the campaign.

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc.

But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

More War in Latin America Feared as Farmers Describe Torture From US-Ecuadorian ‘Operation Total Extermination’

A human rights group denounced “bombings, burning of homes, arbitrary detentions, torture, and threats against the civilian population."

Ive yet to meet a historian who would believe this, though (I am happy to be corrected).

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California lawmakers say they'll change name of César Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day following sexual abuse allegations.

The Gulf states have spent billions on US security agreements that distil down to "America will protect us no matter what", and here's Trump basically saying he doesn't care about them being bombed as long as the US gets what it wants.
