Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.
She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

Id rather deeply personal art than deeply personalized content
the A/I bros dream of a "deeply personalised content" is really telling, cause it only cares about what me-as-a-customer wants
they don't see art as sharing and discovering human experiences, it's all about being fed a content without leaving the comfort of your tiny self

Watched first ep of Season 6 of Love is Blind last night. So far, not very impressed by the men. The women all look sort of the same. Lots of makeup and long hair. Would love to see a girl with a bob, little makeup and a full sleeve of tattoos.

I saw somebody promoting a weirdly regressive take on masculinity, & whenever that happens I think about Fred Rogers, LeVar Burton, Jim Henson, & Bob Ross. Universally beloved men who gave us so much empathy, charity, beauty, education, patience, & love

Mark-Paul Gosselaar (from Saved By The Bell) has talked about the way people would utterly reject the idea that he's biracial despite his mother being Indonesian because he doesn't look the way they expect. It's a very odd aspect of racism and societal expectations.
