This is a pretty shit time, so if you just want someone to talk to for a bit to take your mind off or something please feel free to DM (or reply even). Remember to reach out to the people in your life as often as you can, even if you don't feel like it. We'll get through this. 🤗

Even pegasus seems more benign than this- government wants to install an app in all mobile phones to monitor your activity, locations, conversations and transactions.

Here's a copy of the directive.

Just keep licking the govt’s boots & watch the magic! You’ll be hailed as a “pillar of nationalist journalism.” A particular crowd wil instantly elevate you as their symbol of patriotism. That’s all it takes for them. Blind loyalty, 100% obedience to the PM and you’re their Hero

Just abuse the PM once and voila!!!! watch how overnight you’ll be hailed as an ‘internationally acclaimed journalist.’ A certain section here will start worshipping you as the new face of ‘integrity.’ That’s all it takes for them.

Chaim Herzog was a Haganah terrorist who murdered Palestinians in the 1936-39 revolt, then murdered them again in the 1948 Nakba. Parks are supposed to be reposeful places where people pursue leisure & amusement - naming them after violent racists is a mood killer!

Your Grandfather was also a member of the Haganah paramilitary organisation responsible for numerous terrorist acts and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. He was among those who oversaw the military occupation of East Jerusalem and the West Bank. And he was in IDF intelligence

An influencer marketing agency asked me to collaborate on Guruji Sri Sri Ravishankar's Ayurvedic medicine brand called Sri Sri Tattva. I have decided to do it for free. I'm benevolent when it's a collaboration for public health education.

Friends! If you, too, want your body to be used for something cool instead of just being used by nerds (e.g. doctors and nurses) to learn stuff, get our friend Vinay to draft your instructions. Use my code COOLSHIT during checkout to get 10% off. x.com/vinayaravind/s…

easy peasy. I'll draft the documentation myself.



This sounds extremely unlikely but man, how I wish this would become real. PVR took one of the best multiplexes in the country and destroyed it. It would be very sweet if it could be reversed.

When McFaul goes over to his friend’s house and opens the fridge and his friend says “have whatever you like”, McFaul walks out with the ice cube treys because he has no concept of context. Language, for him, is entirely free-floating and self contained.
