Daniel José Older gap year baddie one of those things where you think you have a sense of the extents of “liberalism” in an institution like this, but you don’t realize it’s explicitly wholeass cartoon villainry 💀 murdoch!!!!

There’s a massive #Blockout2024 taking place where we block every celebrity that hasn’t spoken up about Palestine or called for a ceasefire. It’s a global movement. They live off of our attention. If they don’t have any, they cease to exert their influence.

The PEN America gala (underwritten by Pfizer and Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp) is at 6:00 at the Natural History Museum on May 16, it would be such a shame to let these ghouls drink alone …

Amen to this 1000x. All anyone needs to know about PEN America is that they’ve cancelled the awards event (for writers) and the Festival (for writers) but will proceed with the gala (for socialites). The priorities are crystal clear.

Ok drop what you’re doing and listen to the incredibly talented Hamed Sinno’s bop INFANTADA.

Now THIS is the sound of my summer. on.soundcloud.com/whZp3BUH3YvD3j…

BREAKING: The confederation of Spanish universities will cut ties with Israeli universities and research centers.

No cops. No arrests. No violence inflicted on students. Just a university administration listening and doing the right thing. Imagine.

maybe ask yourself why you're so ready to see the student encampments doing something 'wrong' lol

PEN America honoring the publisher of the Wall Street Journal—the editorial board of which just called for the invasion of Rafah—at its glitzy annual fundraising gala next week is, even by recent standards, taking the piss

The washington post has written another haiku because they can’t say:

“Israeli strikes wounded & burned thousands of Palestinians in Rafah & overwhelmed the already struggling health system due to its siege”
