A brief thread on the interference with humanitarian aid to conflict zones.
Interfering with the ability of people trapped in conflict zones, to access food or healthcare,
is
a
crime
against
humanity
under the Rome Statute. This applies to anyone, acting from anywhere.

Seeing one of our helpful Geopolitics Understanders here post about looking up whether Nigeria has oil reserves, I am struck once again by the chasm between the human reach and the human grasp

Hey wow this is the most fucked up cruel weird-ass way to exploit a disabled relative that i can ever recall! AI once again proving its only use case is abusing other people.
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Around the world, countries are confronting and exposing historical abuses and human trafficking carried out through adoption systems. Yet in Canada, there has been no national inquiry into adoption practices.

This will be an extremely fun tweet for someone to ask Ryan Walker and Tembo execs about one day, in a deposition
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

A great example of how the @nytimes.com centers white Americans and Trump supporters in its anecdotal political coverage. You never see stories like this about Black Democrats whose cities are cracked in Republican gerrymandering to give them Republican elected officials.
They Wanted a Conservative State. They Might Get a Democratic Representative Instead.
The passage of Proposition 50, which redrew California’s congressional map, means that all of the state’s conservative north is likely to be represented by Democrats.

I count 4 years in college and 23 in the Agency here
I love how ppl think my CIA experience defines me. I spent just under 5 years there. 11 at RAND. 6 at Yale. 4 in college. 1 at a French grad school (EHESS). Two summers as a USPS ranger. One summer as a hardware store cashier. But it's the CIA that defines me.

Vatican City has no native inhabitants. Everyone living in the Vatican, for centuries, was born elsewhere. Papa Leo himself is of course quite newly arrived there. The nature of this institution is so global that it confounds the very imagination of nationalist weirdos.

In response to a tweet about Pope Leo's recent admonition that refusing to help the poor and strangers is rejecting God himself,

Before the rest of this house wakes and Christmas begins for real, I just want to say it has been profoundly depressing to see whitey have more and better ideas about how to fight the renaming of the Kennedy Center than they've offered about fighting the building of America's concentration camps.
