Little Britain meme: Politician stands outside his expensive country house with his sheepish-looking wife to read an unbelievable statement: "Nobody told me that Peter Mandelson was a twice-resigned-in-disgrace friend-of-a-paedophile nicknamed 'The Prince of Darkness'"

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Satellite images reveal scale of Israeli demolitions as Lebanese villages destroyed BBC Verify analysis found more than 1,400 buildings had been destroyed since 2 March.

It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Warsaw Ghetto uprising and the Great Palestinian Revolt in Palestine both began on April 19th.

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

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.

And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.

And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.

And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

In the fall of 2025, NYU social psychologist Jonathan Haidt visited Yale as a Presidential Lecturer and presented the research behind his book The Anxious Generation, which documents the effects of smartphones and social media on adolescent mental health, attention, and social development. Haidt’s visit helped to inspire a conversation among faculty and students about the fundamental shift that has taken place in the relationship between technology and learning.47

This passage citing the work of Jonathan Haidt in the Yale Report is instructive. For a group pushing "intellectual pluralism," it is notable that it doesn't mention the widespread criticism of the book, such as the reviewer in Nature who bluntly said his argument "is not supported by science."

Israel has killed 11 Palestinians in Gaza today. Including children.

Just seen a horrific video of a man with half his head blown off.

Israel has not stopped killing Palestinians during the 'ceasefire.'

Islamophobia and the Weaponization of Antisemitism - UNICORN RIOT A new report from Rutgers University highlights how claims of antisemitism stemming from Islamophobia are being used to silence discourse about Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians.

All the attacks on Hasan Piker with cynical claims of antisemitism keep bringing me back to this article of mine from 2023 highlighting how most of it comes from deep-seated Islamophobia.

Bears mentioning that everything everyone on this site feared Trump would do to Iran yesterday, Israel is doing to Lebanon today.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent.

To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

“Israel” proves with each passing day, each murdered scientist and each leveled apartment building that it is the dangerous, rogue, nuclear state it claims Iran is.

Tony Benn's "Don't arab women weep when their children die, doesn't bombing strengthen their resolve?"

Is as relevant now as it was 25 years ago.

A Zionist sent me a letter this week threatening to sue me for defamation for my statements that Israel is committing genocide and that Muslim people face discrimination and honestly I kind of hope they do at this point. Skip the motion to dismiss, let's go do that discovery

Blood on your hands.

The NYT is not responsible for the opinions it publishes.

US soldiers are not responsible for the deaths of the children it kills.

The Empire is not responsible for its actions.

The Empire's citizens are not responsible for supporting imperial institutions.

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning. https://spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-syllabi/

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Absolutely horrifying. This refugee survived genocide and died because of the gross incompetence of federal immigration agents.
