The ICC is preparing to issue arrest warrants for Israeli officials, Israel nearly started a war with Iran, and the IDF is preparing to commit a horrifying massacre in Rafah, so naturally the mainstream press is very, very interested in 'anti-semitism' on college campuses again.

Make it make sense 🤷‍♀️

I feed 80 street dogs every day but the last stop is my favorite because I get to see little Angelina Jolie.

She’s a very very old girl who has lived on the streets her whole life but she is very special (1/6) 🧵

She lives beside a little shop in the jungle. She’ll either be sleeping either under the car or just beside the road waiting.

Angelina is very vocal and likes to tell me she’s happy about her food delivery. Her voice makes me so happy (2/6)

The highly-regarded paediatrician who conducted the most thorough review ever undertaken on the medical evidence for transitioning gender-confused children has been advised not to travel on public transport for her own safety. 1/3

Big tech is dystopian and crushing us with surveillance and all, but you have to admit it's pretty great that you never have to spend 20 minutes on the phone with someone giving them directions to your house.

Job hunting this morning. Compare and contrast - busy community ER in Canada - rate is $150/hr day time and $190/hr night time. Some bigger centres may pay more, smaller less. We only ever get to $200/hr on major holidays. Plus 53% personal income tax. If you choose to

To those of us who have been steeped in the revelations day by day, the ominous reality is that the traditional understanding of rights, liberties, law, business, media, and science were dramatically overthrown in the course of just a few months and years.

Some of us who have been reporting and speaking out against the rise of the new totalitarianism, in Germany, and elsewhere, for four fucking years now, would have appreciated a few more comrades during 2020-2023, but they stood by in silence as it took shape, and now, here it is.

One of the most interesting segments from the interview: Tucker calls out Bari Weiss by name.

And he nails it. Rogan tries to defend her. Ha.

There are a lot of US media people just like her: their priority is Israel. Everything else is secondary.

Incredible article by Yuval Noah Harari of all people: how do you break through mass psychosis?

He is warning his countrymen how out-of-touch and dangerous their position has become due to vengeance and arrogance.

Duh 🙄

Academia that suppresses the freedom to protest against blatant oppression is no longer academia, but a school of empire propaganda.

Columbia has the choice between the freedom of thought academia represents and the tyranny of authority the state does — and it is choosing BADLY.

Trish Wood on 'justice' in Canada: 'I had a long conversation with Marco Van Huigenbos yesterday afternoon. He is resigned to the idea that we’ve reached a point where challenging the government in meaningful ways means you might have to accept a prison sentence. He feels it is

This, by Yuval Noah Harari, is masterful. It gives me no satisfaction - only grief - to add that I’ve been saying all this since 10/10, but he says it much better. Enough. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
