I am so tired of the world being run by evil, grasping men. I also don’t love the evil, grasping women, but let’s be real, they’re vastly outnumbered

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

This is amazing.

Yes!! What’s going on?

Old boys are the best ❤️

Zitat von Navid Kermani aus der SZ: Jetzt spricht Merz von der Drecksarbeit, die Israel dem Westen abnimmt, und ich mach’s jetzt einfach mal kurz und ausschließlich in eigener Verantwortung als Autor dieser Zeilen, schließlich lebe ich anders als meine Verwandten in Iran in einem freien Land: Wer Respekt vor der Drecksarbeit hat, Bomben auf Zivilisten abzuwerfen, ist selbst ein Dreckskerl.

toomajofficial "Evacuate Tehran" is nothing more than a populist slogan meant to later claim: "We didn't intend to kill Iranian civilians; they just refused to leave the war zone." But how are over 9 million people - without fuel, often without enough savings to relocate, and with no second home in another city - supposed to evacuate Tehran? If your intention is to kill the people of Iran, at least have the honesty not to hide the burden of that responsibility. Your war is not with the people of Iran. If you attack them, you are, in truth, killing hostages. And you know very well that such a crime will plant seeds of hatred that could deprive generations - both ours and yours — of the peace and calm we all long for. No child should become a victim of decisions made by politicians hiding behind the iron walls of their palaces.

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement.

Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

Thread of the day. This got me misty-eyed

I'd use AI if it did things like wash my laundry and clean the dishes so I could communicate with people, maybe write a bit, read.

What's on the table is the opposite. Why would you even *WANT* to outsource the good stuff to a robot that doesn't even do it all that well?

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.
