Palestinians in Gaza are suffering from man-made “mass starvation” due to the aid blockade on the enclave, the chief of the World Health Organization warned reporters at a briefing on Wednesday. “Parents tell us their children cry themselves to sleep from hunger,” Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. “Food distribution sites have become places of violence.” The United Nations says more than a thousand people have been killed by Israeli forces while seeking food since late May, when a controversial new Israel- and US-backed aid group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, began operating. Of those, hundreds have died near GHF sites, according to the UN. The GHF was created to replace the UN’s aid role in Gaza and has been widely criticized for failing to improve conditions. All 2.1 million people in Gaza are now food insecure. On Tuesday, Gaza’s health ministry said 900,000 children are going hungry, and 70,000 already show signs of malnutrition.

The character of Guenter, a monkey made super-intelligent by the Electronium Hat (an invention by Professor Farnsworth), in the adult animation comedy "Futurama." Gunter says, "All I want out of life is to be a monkey of moderate intelligence who wears a suit." It should be noted he goes to business school after this.

#Assholisation is, when the assholes get to say the quiet part out loud, & nobody minds:

"Huckabee suggested a Palestinian state should be carved out of ‘a Muslim country’", because christian nationalism & white supremacy's goal is ultimately always "Lebensraum for white people".

#Greta tut immer noch das, womit sie 2018 angefangen hat: sie weist uns auf unsere Heuchelei, unsere Lügen, unsere Unmenschlichkeit hin, und fragt "how dare you?", ob beim Klima oder im #Gaza.

Sie ist unser schlechtes Gewissen. Natürlich hassen wir sie.

Chinese manufacturing labor isn’t just cheaper. It’s better. In China, there are no people who are too fat to work. The workers don’t storm off midshift, never to return to their job. You don’t have people who insist on being paid in cash so that they can keep their disability payments, while they do acrobatics on the factory floor that the non-disabled workers cannot do. Chinese workers are much less likely to physically attack each other and their manager. They don’t take 30 minute bathroom breaks on company time. They don’t often quit because their out-of-state mother of their children discovered their new job and now receives 60% of their wages as child support. They don’t disappear because they’ve gone on meth benders. And they don’t fall asleep on a box midshift because their pay from yesterday got converted into pills. And they can do their times tables. To manufacture, you need to be able to consistently and accurately multiply 7 times 9 and read in English, and a disturbingly large portion of the American workforce cannot do that.

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

When you think of what the US state has at its disposal, totalitarianism does not look impossible:
- Facial recognition technology
- Armed drones, that can take out marked people
- A propaganda system already enmeshed in our lives (social media)
- Militias ready to become death squads
Resist now.

Trump dismantling climate science is appalling.

But what do we have climate science for if most of the world keeps ignoring its findings?

The accelerated global warming should be front page news and governments need to do everything in their power to address it.

This is the simplest and most obvious explanation.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named David Roberts (@volts .wtf). The post reads: "The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It’s not a public act, it’s not a schtick, there’s not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people."

MAGA, you got what you wanted. Trans people can't play sports, DEI is gone, Elon is firing half the government workforce, and Trump is planning to turn Gaza into a golf resort. Is your life better now? Are your groceries cheaper? Can you afford childcare or healthcare? No? Maybe trans people weren't the ones making your life miserable.

Vor Kurzem gab es im Haushalt keine 2 Milliarden Euro für eine Grundsicherung für Kinder. Jetzt sollen Hunderte Milliarden an Schulden aufgenommen werden. Okay, fine.
Aber erklärt das jemand den Menschen? Nicht den Grund, Russland, USA. Sondern wie das geht; die Prioritäten. Eine ehrliche Erklärung.
