A careful piece which considers not just the medium but also the longer term effects of Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank

But the group does have a weapon of another form: the IDF as a recruiting sergeant to its cause.

Young Palestinians in their teens and early twenties have witnessed their friends and families killed and maimed in appalling numbers, and are now seeing young children being starved to death.

In a landmark decision, the International Court of Justice found that polluting countries are now legally obligated to address global warming. In a unanimous ruling the court said high-emitting countries do have legal obligations under international law to address the "urgent and existential threat" of climate change…

Tragedy of the Commons

More than 60 scientists issue dire warning that the Earth is careening toward catastrophe: 'Things are all moving in the wrong direction'

"We're seeing some unprecedented changes, and we're also seeing the heating of the Earth and sea-level rise accelerating as well.“

Good morning.

20 May 2025

Yesterday, we took a walk to Prairie Creek. When we reached the bridge, we crossed—bringing to mind the familiar saying, ‘We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.’ It’s a bit of a corny joke, but the meaning holds weight. It symbolizes decision points in life, reminding us that even seemingly small choices can lead to significant consequences down the road. I often try to explain this to the young people in my life, emphasizing the importance of making thoughtful decisions. After all, today's choices shape tomorrow’s opportunities. Some have taken this advice to heart, while others have not. But every decision steers the future—a place where "time keeps slippin, slippin, slippin into the future," along with chances that may or may never come.

- "The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your decisions." — Ray Dalio

One thing people might ignore about the #broligarchy & #conservatism today is it’s shoehorning of the fascist impulse of #purity onto technology.

We see this impulse particularly applied to #ai, with calls for #deregulation approaching religious fervour.

We see it in transhumanism, tescrealism, network state, pretty much all of it.

Purity is another way of saying; only our tribe is good enough to reap benefits. But most importantly it is a domain of no #consequences. The holy item of #fascism

« The actor Pedro Pascal has attacked author JK #Rowling on X, calling her a “heinous loser”.
Pascal responded to a comment reporting the words of activist Tariq Ra’ouf in an Instagram video, in which he urged people to #boycott Rowling’s work.
“It has become our mission as the general public to make sure that every single thing that’s Harry Potter related fails … because that awful disgusting shit, that has #consequences.” »
