This bears repeating: Western states cannot sustain support for Israel's carnage in Gaza unless they compromise democracy and the rights of their citizens.
Here's Prof. Haim Bresheeth, a child of Holocaust survivors, getting arrested in the UK for speaking against Israel's war.
Arrested under the terrorism act btw
Possibly the dumbest lawyers to have ever existed
Wish they had pelted very large and sharp blades at his head instead
This one is very noticeable, and the decline in flying insect population has been staggering.
On the other hand, here where I live, there are now bitting mosquitos almost all year round instead of just the summer
If global warming is real how come my freezer is so cold?
Hot take: the accelarationist will win. The accelarationist candidate is kamala. Things will keep getting worse, the Democrats won't get anything done, and this will take fascism into overdrive in the US.
Anyway if trump does end up winning it will be extremely funny.
Would be so funny if that happened
In a completely unexpected turn of events, the fascists are fighting among themselves...
Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon has called on the leaders of the military and Shin Bet security service to join forces with Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and declare that Netanyahu is unfit to serve

The publisher of Israel’s left-wing/liberal Zionist newspaper Ha’aretz has kicked up a storm.
He said at a London conference that those whom Israel calls terrorists are Palestinian freedom fighters.
Israel’s Interior Ministry has announced it is cutting ties with Ha’aretz.

Jesus christ, bill Clinton gave an incredibly pro genocide speech
Edit:
How many civilians should Israel kill? “I am sorry but we are not keeping score that way.”
He literally did the Hexbear post
my mom clicks on shady links all the time and won't let me install ubo on her computer smh
Your mom is really playing with fire, and you should make it clear to her. Say the FBI recommends installing ad blockers or something (which they actually do lol)
Israel is going in the direction of banning haaretz lol
Looks like a whole of government approach will be taken against Ha’aretz.
Israel’s Ministry of Communications has drafted a proposal to effectively ban the government/public services interacting with Ha’aretz.
Probably one step away from banning the paper as a whole.

Number of deaths in Spain's floods up to 158
The images look insane. Also apparently Valencia is one of the cities in Europe that has better flood preparedness. However it seems that in 8 hours it rained the equivalent of 1 and a half years of rain, which is bonkers
The chatbot excels at science, beating PhD scholars on a hard science test. But it might ‘hallucinate’ more than its predecessors.
I know people here are very skeptical of AI in general, and there is definitely a lot of hype, but I think the progress in the last decade has been incredible.
Here are some quotes
> “In my field of quantum physics, it gives significantly more detailed and coherent responses” than did the company’s last model, GPT-4o, says Mario Krenn, leader of the Artificial Scientist Lab at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany.
> Strikingly, o1 has become the first large language model to beat PhD-level scholars on the hardest series of questions — the ‘diamond’ set — in a test called the Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A Benchmark (GPQA)1. OpenAI says that its scholars scored just under 70% on GPQA Diamond, and o1 scored 78% overall, with a particularly high score of 93% in physics
> OpenAI also tested o1 on a qualifying exam for the International Mathematics Olympiad. Its previous best model, GPT-4o, correctly solved only 13% of the problems, whereas o1 scored 83%.
> Kyle Kabasares, a data scientist at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute in Moffett Field, California, used o1 to replicate some coding from his PhD project that calculated the mass of black holes. “I was just in awe,” he says, noting that it took o1 about an hour to accomplish what took him many months.
> Catherine Brownstein, a geneticist at Boston Children’s Hospital in Massachusetts, says the hospital is currently testing several AI systems, including o1-preview, for applications such as connecting the dots between patient characteristics and genes for rare diseases. She says o1 “is more accurate and gives options I didn’t think were possible from a chatbot”.
