More than 2mn people live in Gaza and now almost all of them are seeking refuge. For one family, their 'more than perfect' life in Gaza City has turned into a daily struggle across a barren wasteland. ig.ft.com/gaza-one-year/

"The incumbents in every single one of the 10 major countries that....held national elections in 2024 were given a kicking by voters. This is the first time this has ever happened in almost 120 years of records." ft.com/content/e8ac09…

Western leaders are in love with the status quo because it's usually what brought them to power. Even when it's clearly no longer working, disintegrating around their ears, they have been more worried about what would happen if Russia lost than the catastrophe of Russia winning.

I see it’s honours announcements today, and would like to remind everyone of how it needs to be reformed. We need an entirely new order of chivalry. It costs a pittance, and Ned Donovan and I even already got one of the heralds to create the designs. tenentrepreneurs.org/research/honou…

Just checking in: has Elon Musk said anything critical about the government in China? No?

This is **exactly** what the Serbs did in committing genocide in Srebrenica.

אין שום לגיטימציה לירי על ריכוזים אזרחיים. לא בטהרן ולא בת"א, לא בעזה ולא בשדרות, לא בביירות ולא בחיפה, לא בדמשק ולא בק"ש. זאת בנוסף לחוסר התוחלת שבו. די לטירוף! יש רק ניצחון מוחלט אחד לכל העמים: שלום! ושלום לא יהיה עם כיבוש, רצח עם או טיהור אתני. די! מגיעים לכולנו חיים

Putin: “I’ve already said that Russians and Ukrainians are one people. In that sense, all of Ukraine is ours. … We have this old rule, that wherever a Russian steps foot — that’s our territory.” Whatever this is, it’s not a president preparing his people for compromise.

I worry that the Left has stopped making the argument for a more expansive state funded by most people paying more tax. Instead we're left with the false claim that Other People will always pay.

Time for a land value tax as the surest way to avert national decline and bankruptcy 👇 thetimes.com/article/9fafa6…

One hint that Israel was going to starve everyone in Gaza was that senior Israeli national security people said, in Oct '23, that they were going to starve everyone in Gaza. This was published in English by Fathom Journal/Calev Ben-Dor, Michael Walzer's favorite magazine.
