Big shoutout to jmalaska and mspeer for this little exchange on the autodesk forums in 2018, which appears to be the only source for this extremely valuable bit of information that absolutely saved my ass this fine Sunday morning.

The horrifying details emerging about the World Central Kitchen massacre: The convoy was struck 3 times in succession, with the drone chasing the wounded aid workers from vehicle to vehicle to make sure they were all killed. No legit pretext and precise coordination with the IDF.

Wow, I can't believe that just happened. Amazing. #UFC300

Should have had him in his pointing to the ground pose.

i’ve been thinking about Meta’s support for open-source AI all day, wondering what zuck’s business justification must be. you can’t run a $1T co on ideology alone. but when you google the financials of Meta ($134B/yr) compared to a co like OAI, ($1.6B) it starts to make sense:

Today's newsletter is the story of how Prabhakar Raghavan, Google's former head of ads - led a coup so that he could run Google Search, and how an email chain from 2019 began a cascade of events that would lead to him running it into the ground. wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-ki…

Antisemitism is a disgusting ideology that has resulted in the deaths of many millions. That does not negate the unprecedented actions of Netanyahu's right-wing & racist government. It is not antisemitic to demand an end to the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

Cannot overstate how profoundly ignorant & dangerous this is. Intifada is the Arabic word for uprising. When Egyptians & Tunisians launched intifadas against their dictators the world celebrated. That folks are offended by Palestinian calls for liberation is telling & disturbing.

I live by Columbia. Tonight I went for a walk & saw 10+ blocks rapidly barricaded, dozens of police vehicles flying by, large groups of NYPD in riot gear gathering. I study protest in E Europe. What I saw tonight was some of the most wildly disproportionate policing I've seen 1/

🧵 Exclusive on Israeli war crimes published on soldiers' social media accounts Sergant Simha Lubling 890th battalion: “You have to much china stuff at your kitchen. I was happy to help you residents of Khan Younes (as much as I had time to). GO SUE ME AT THE HAGUE BASTARDS” ->

Ahem.

It takes incredible bravery to do this in a room of people who see her as subhuman, she could have skipped, but Tlaib chose to make sure that the voices of Palestinians being slaughtered by the man receiving standing ovations are present in the chamber.

We expected to have to dedicate considerable resources to identify the soldiers featured in the photos and videos. What we found was that, for the most part, soldiers posted material in their own names on publicly accessible platforms.

65 doctors, nurses, and paramedics told the New York Times what they saw in Gaza. What they saw was a pattern of children being shot in the head.
