TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

The LMU announces the cancellation of a seminar on the topic "the targeting of Palestinian academia". The cancellation announcement is titled "LMU as a place of pluralistic discourse". Couldn't make this up.

Homayoun Ershadi, a renowned Iranian actor, left us today. He was perhaps best known internationally for his debut role in Abbas Kiarostami’s 1997 Cannes Palme d’Or winning film Taste of Cherry. May he rest in peace. #Iran

There are no words for Sudan-- the "blood bath" conclusion marks the complete failure of the international community. This is a horrific situation & like so many other wars, I doubt there will be justice for these survivors & their families.

#Rente vor dem Kollaps? Mitnichten. Die #Rentenversicherung ist stabil und verlässlich. Die größte Herausforderung besteht aktuell darin, dass über Rentenpolitik richtig diskutiert werden muss. WSI-Rentenexperte Florian Blank @taz.de zu Fehlern der Debatte taz.de/Gesetzliche-...
Gesetzliche Rente: Finanzierbarkeit ist politisch, nicht neutral
Die Rente wird derzeit schlechtgeredet, ihre Vorteile bewusst ignoriert. Verloren geht dabei die Tatsache: Rentenpolitik ist auch Verteilungspolitik.

No words to describe what you see and hear here. That the BBC is actually airing this (for once, the coverage makes no bones about anything), after their previous choices, is also striking.
"Without question I witnessed war crimes by the Israel Defence Forces, without a doubt.

"Using artillery rounds, mortar rounds, firing tank rounds into unarmed civilians is a war crime.”
