There are 3 types of people since Oct 7th.
Those who condemn only the killing of Israeli kids.
Those who condemn only the killing of Palestinian kids.
And those of us who condemn the killing of both.
Don’t be in the first 2 groups - the 1st one dominates our politics & media.

@letterboxd.social and the shake up of cinephilia.
Covid was supposed to kill cinema – but did lockdown and gen Z save cinephilia?

They have been communities of racial and economic diversity, where many people own their own homes”
The California wildfires could be leaving deeper inequality in their wake

A reminder that what #Meta is doing is targeted solely at the #USA to appease the incoming #Musk / #Trump administration. If Meta wants to continue operating around the world, it has to continue to conform to the laws and regulations in those places. #EU
Meta has "no plans to end fact-checking in the EU", the company clarified and "will review its EU content moderation obligations before making changes" www.politico.eu/article/mark...
Zuck goes full Musk, dumps Facebook fact-checking program
Meta will replace it with so-called community notes like on the X platform. The content moderation changes won’t be rolled out in the EU for now.

Like Putin, Erdoğan, and Orbán, Netanyahu is trying to silence a critical, independent newspaper. Haaretz will not balk and will not morph into a pamphlet that publishes messages approved by the government and its leader.
