Opinion | I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.

There's a partial paywall. But you can get limited free access, thank tNYT. I'd pay if I was in a position to, really. But here's someone way smarter and way more informed than me discussing how #Israel is committing #genocide www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/o...

Rabbi who boasts of bulldozing Palestinian homes will light torch for Israel’s national day Human rights campaigners say honour for Avraham Zarbiv endorses ethnic cleansing and war crimes

A religion of peace and love. A sovereign state that is only defending its right to exist. Tell me again about human rights, dignity, moral rectitude, the sacredness of life...? #apartheid #rabbi #Zionism #Israel #Palestine #Domicide #genocide www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I wonder if trump will be Stalined, Tussaud’d or plastinated?

However bleak things feel I absolutely refuse to lose my sense of wonder.

wtf #10news? Children this year who’ve died from domestic and family violence were “laid to rest”?? They were fucking MURDERED. First Nations people MURDERED. Women MURDERED. Fuck your minimising language. Violence is being perpetrated regularly and if you don’t name it nothing happens.

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

‘Everything is gone’: Israel destroys entire villages in Lebanon Rights groups fear tactic of ‘domicide’ trialled in Gaza, where entire areas are made uninhabitable, is being used again

Probably because you’re not a real person, Gina, who’s ever lived in the real world. Stfu and gtfo. #GinaRinehart #BenRobertsSmith #WarCriminal

US warns of Iran-affiliated cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure across country Security agencies say municipalities should watch out for unusual activity, especially in water and energy sectors

So he's adding genodical maniac to his list of brain fart hobbies, along with some other known genocidal maniacs. #Trump #Dicktator #Senile www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

So, this guy occassionally busks in Sunshine, playing and electric oud with a darabukka backing and it is just ecstatic.

‘As soon as I left the first session I felt taller’: is reformer pilates as amazing – or awful – as they say? One of the fastest-growing fitness trends is also one of the most divisive. To its fans, it promises a stronger, healthier body; to its critics, it’s another way to make women feel insecure. Time to s...

This is a bit depressing & also a bit one-eyed. As a cis-male who's only done Pilates mat work classes which require little/no equipment (e.g. football-sized rubber balls or small foam rollers) I found it a challenging, efficient, effective & fun form of exercise. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

If I hear “the Australian way” or “farmers/tradies/small businesses/families” one more fucking time I’m going on a rampage. When will any bastard politician learn to speak in anything other than flaccid stereotypes and rotten cliches? Tax the fucking rich, mate. #NationalAddress #AusPol #Albo

The Guardian view on Israel’s death penalty: capital punishment is always wrong. This new law is doubly so | Editorial Editorial: Palestinians convicted of lethal attacks deemed terrorism face execution – while settlers enjoy impunity despite soaring West Bank violence

How can people who claim that they have historically experienced utter horror and continue to experience vilification then take positive joy in the genocide, displacement, abuse, torture and state-sanctioned murder of others (looking at you especially, Ben-Gvir) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you’re a #Zionist, look me in the eye and tell me you’re ok with Israel’s actions. Look me in the fucking eye and tell me you sleep soundly at night. I’ll respect you but I will also hope that your ancestors and descendants burn in a particularly toasty version of hell.

I would seriously love to know exactly how #AngusTaylor’s living standards have collapsed in the last ten years. Massive property portfolio, shell companies and trust funds, god it must be awfully being incredibly rich. Hiding it all whilst pretending to be one the hoi polloi.

Constantly surrounded by beautiful things, from beautiful people. Lovely bedlinen from my mum.

So I’m posting real pieces. As in posting. Put your hand up if you’d like a note in a hand-desecrated envelope.

Cutest gift from a friend’s daughter who was asking if I’m a bear:

I’m so grossed out by the adjective “Trumpian”.

If it’s used about a man it’s somehow flattering (🤮)

If it used about a woman it’s an insult (🤮)

Either way IT IS FUCKING GROSS.
