People peeved at the Lord Byron quote at the end of Frankenstein, instead of something written by Mary Shelley … Look - the two are just inexorably linked. That in itself is such a profound commentary to mirror the story!

Even ‘Byron: a Life in Letters’ begins with a Mary Shelley epigraph!
“The Lord Byron I find there is our Lord Byron – the fascinating – faulty – childish – philosophical – being – daring the world – docile to a private circle – impetuous and indolent – gloomy and yet more gay than any other – I live with him again in these pages” — Mary Shelley

Checking in on the worst Zionists who’ve been pumping out hysterical Islamophobia in the lead up to the NYC mayoral race for *months* and fear-mongering around voting Mamdani.

The post-win cope is sublime (and by that I mean deeply disturbed and racist)

Jtilch and Eve Fartlow …
Jordyn Tilchen “Jtilch” posts cutest Zionist Instagram tiles. This one features Muslim man Mamdani with an uncharacteristic frown and the words: the city that never sleeps just woke up on the wrong side of history Sure babe 🎻 tiniest violin for you Eve Barlow (Fartlow) on X: Jews of New York, take a leaf out of the pages of the Jews of London. Protect your buildings. Safeguard your schools. Train your own security teams. Organize your own grassroots campaigns. This is serious and it’s time you learn from your scrappier cousins. Jtilch with more Instagram cope: if you voted for Mamdani today, congratulations you chose performative politics over people You picked a socialist pro-Hamas antisemite over a mainstream Democrat and threw your Jewish friends under the same “free” buses Mamdani promised but will never deliver He’s a con man. You fell for it. Embarrassing doesn’t even begin to cover it (Babes here fails to say Mamdani was formally endorsed by Rabbi Moshe Indig of the Satmar Hasidic community, while Cuomo - the “mainstream Democrat” - is credibly accused of sexual harassment by 13 women and was endorsed by Republican and rapist in the Epstein files, Donald Trump) Eve Fartlow on X: “If you don't already see it, this is what the war in Gaza was about” If this Tweet was a cat I’d say “oh that’s a big stretch”

KFC Australia now making a “zinger banh mi” and GOOD. GOD. NO!

This is un-Australian. I guarantee you can Google “your suburb + best bánh mì” and get recommend a small, local joint that’ll make you want to start loudly & proudly declaring; “NAH mate, *we* have the best bánh mì near us!”

The Guardian has images of the No Kings protest in Times Square and if you zoom in on one of the billboards, you can see images of IOF soldiers and presumably other Israelis … projected down on an anti-authoritarianism protest 😕

The call is indeed coming from inside the White House, patriots.

‘Diary of a Young Doctor: Notes from the Genocide in Gaza’ by Ezzideen Shehab

• Out 10 November 2025 • links for preorder ➡️ linktr.ee/readerswrite...

A powerful eyewitness account of the genocide in #Gaza by an extraordinary young writer and general physician. #FreePalestine
How did we come to this? How did we become a people the world no longer believes are fully human? Is it because our blood is too cheap? Or is it because the world has learned to look, and then to look away? If so, then it is not we who have lost our humanity. It is you.

Google “Global Sumud Flotilla” and it’s all sponsored posts “exposing” the “truth” behind funding the Flotilla. But it’s all Hasbara bullshit planted by Israel to paint these peace-activists as terrorists. This is Israel’s strategy now - probably to commit more atrocities against civilians.
Screenshot of a Google search of the top three sponsored posts the first that you google when you google the global sumid Flotilla it’s all articles connecting the peace activists to hazy terrorist organisations

I don’t think Emerald Fennell has a distinctive style yet - all her films look so different - “Wuthering Heights” looks very inspired by del Toro’s ‘Crimson Peak’ aesthetic (interesting they’re both adapting gothic romance source material, and cast Jacob Elordi as their “monster” too)

I humbly dedicate this book to all the Palestinian academics and journalists killed in Gaza who would be alive now if academics and journalists in the West had spoken and acted when they had the chance.

‘PM says some good people marched on Sunday, blames exploitation by neo-Nazis’

Albo is an embarrassment. He’s giving Trump after Charlottesville “very fine people on both sides.”

Um, I think the Sydney harbour bridge protest was specifically against Israel’s ongoing genocide and extensive war crimes being committed in Gaza. Not that you’d know it from The Guardian and The Age tepid headlines. #NSWpol #AUSpol
Guardian headline: “Sea of people march across Sydney Harbour Bridge calling for an end to killing in Gaza” … the passivity! Who is killing?! Name them. Israel. The Age headline; “100,000 march in Melbourne and Sydney to protest Israel bombardment of Gaza” JFC

Josh Burns: flog

(Also; doesn’t mention Lovitt Technologies and why they were protested, eh? For supplying parts to fighter jets. And his super casual mention of Shahar Segal as restaurant owner of Miznon - he’s actually an IDF propagandist for a food program accused of human rights abuses) #AusPol

“The 10-year-old observed court for the first time in his life and even tried his hand at a courtroom sketch.”

Careful. You let kids sit in on Erin Patterson’s mushroom trial and next thing you know, they’re amateur sleuths heading up a neighbourhood detective agency.

Julie Szego?
The Julie Szego who wrote this genocidal FanFiction last year?
“Even if, heaven forbid, the IDF were to kill hundreds of thousands more Gazan civilians in a final bid to eliminate Hamas, the mass killing still wouldn’t constitute genocide”

I ain’t reading her. #FreePalestine
#AusPol
No military action will exterminate Hamas, the editorial argues, “short of an unthinkable genocide against the entire population of Gaza”. Depressing, really, when even a Zionist publication such as TJI parrots the most defamatory of anti-Israel propaganda. Even if, heaven forbid, the IDF were to kill hundreds of thousands more Gazan civilians in a final bid to eliminate Hamas, the mass killing still wouldn’t constitute genocide, whatever the ideologues of the UN and its associated NGOs might say about the matter, because the objective would not be wiping out a people but defeating a fanatical enemy.

I occasionally check in to see if Eve Barlow is still one of the worst people imaginable and continuing to show the true face of Zionism … yup, on both counts.

And I just know her ancestors are deeply embarrassed by her.
Screenshot from eve’s X: “It's crystal clear to everyone who knows history that "stop genocide" is the modern day blood libel. There is no genocide in Gaza. There is a war that Hamas started. This obsession is the world's oldest religious hatred. It's a religious war against the Judeo-Christian world.”

This jobless loser pretending to be proud of the fact that the LNP tanked their national vote so horrifically, that preferences weren’t there for the Greens. Sure, spud. How Machiavellian of you.

#AusPol
Peter Dutton tweet: No spin by Adam Bandt can change the reality that he, and other Green members, lost their seats because of their appalling treatment of the Jewish community. Australians were rightly disgusted at their behaviour. We were proud to preference the Greens last, helping to ensure Adam Bandt’s loss.

Are the Sherman-Palladino’s having a laugh? They’ve got a ballerina moonlighting as an eco-warrior, when they signed a letter denouncing BDS movement. Boycotting Israeli literary institutions in opposition of the genocide was too much for them; www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/ar...
