What happens when you're not an adolescent anymore but you haven't quite become an adult yet? In the #podcast finale of Notes from TFD John tries to figure it out! Featuring field recordings from my time in #Accra #Ghana Listen now on @forpodcasters open.spotify.com/episode/1o9Ftm…
These headlines are part of a purification ritual. The US is always “innocent,” its “mistakes” admitted 20 years later but never learned from, and always constantly repeated. You’ll see similar headlines about Syria and Palestine in 10 or 20 years
BREAKING: S.T.O.P. Condemns NYC Mask Ban, Says Mayor Needs To Face Facts On Surveillance "Thompson was shot in one of the most surveilled parts of the most surveilled cities in America, but his killer still shot him and fled." @FoxCahn #EricAdams stopspying.org/latest-news/20…
I am once again asking everyone to read:
The Democratic Republic of Congo has filed criminal complaints in France and Belgium saying that Apple's supply chain is contaminated with "blood minerals". Their lawyers argue Apple is complicit in crimes committed by armed groups that control mines. bbc.in/4gBVaUo
Quick Notes/Thread on Syria angles: What explains the stark polar reactions we are observing everywhere in the wake of the Syrian regime’s collapse? It is as though people are watching different realities, or approaching reality from singular angles. I’ll try to unpack here…
There’s been multiple massacres where thousands of people died in the span of a couple days. Not to mention “indirect” deaths from starvation, dehydration and disease. Especially bc most very active war zones are very densely populated. The death toll is AT LEAST 300k.
This framing—of the destruction of Palestine as a matter of no real concern to anyone without an ethnic stake in the matter—is so tiresome. Americans, who are overwhelmingly neither Arab nor Jewish, have paid for 70% of Israel's war on Gaza
"The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds."
Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children, UN says bbc.in/4fH3RfP
As predicted, Israel waited until Tuesday, Nov. 5th, 2024, the date of the US Presidential election, to officially announce that Palestinians are in the process of being ethnically cleansed from North Gaza. Doing Zionism quietly, like clockwork. theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…
Over the next 48 hours, Israel will likely slaughter & ethnically cleanse Palestinians at an accelerated pace, timed for US Presidential election day, so as to minimize the PR damage. This is a phenomenon I call "doing Zionism quietly." (Full article linked in the thread)
OK, Harvard SUSPENDED 25 professors from the library for silently studying materials about Palestine with signs saying "Embrace Diverse Perspectives." I don't think these new university rules are working. Do you? thecrimson.com/article/2024/1…
American author Ursula K. Le Guin was born on this day in 1929. “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.”
Why are we doing this. Automating "science" is not doing anything approximating "science". It is creating paper-shaped things which are not new discoveries.

And there it is: the glut of AI content farms is implicated in the anti-Muslim, anti-migrant pogroms happening in the UK right now. Tommy Robinson and Andrew Tate spread disinfo, and models fueling content farms syndicate that content. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
Sky News confirming the tweet I posted earlier. Israel targeted a school killing at least 30 people. Another school more children! 💔🇵🇸
BREAKING: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) declares that Israel is engaging in racial segregation and apartheid in occupied Palestine.
Biden resumed shipments of 500-pound bombs to Israel two days ago. Here is how they are used
Dozens of students at the University of Manchester used their graduation today to show solidarity with Gaza and protest the University’s complicity in the ongoing genocide 🇵🇸🇵🇸
