“This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly. Yet it’s not. It is this world. And what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras. One that casts a stain on humanity that will endure for generations.”

@stillreezy Recession indicator I fear

why am i the only person talking about the plague of tribute bands infecting this country they’re not just local groups either, live nation is importing them from overseas now

US intelligence assessed just weeks ago that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon “The IC [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003. The IC is monitoring if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program.” - Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, 25 March 2025

The new study shows what the polar regions might look like in the future as the planet warms. @unimelb theconversation.com/forest-home-of…

We are working full 24-hour shifts, often with less than two hours of sleep, and all we’re given in return is a single portion of low-quality rice. Day after day, this is our fuel if it can even be called that ,for a workload that is devouring what remains of our strength. My health is beginning to unravel. I’m losing weight rapidly. For days now, I’ve been taking prenatal vitamins (the only supplements available) . But even that is not enough. Vitamins only work when paired with proper nutrition. In our condition, they’re a bandage on an open wound. We’ve reached the edge of what our bodies can endure. Most of what we give now, we give at the cost of our own well-being. Even my mind is beginning to falter, I can no longer summon the focus to write a full literary text. The words, once vivid and sharp, now slip through my fingers like dust. Hunger doesn’t just gnaw at the body; it corrodes the spirit too. We are collapsing quietly, invisibly, from the inside out. #GazaGenocide

Everything that makes you resilient doesn’t exist

@TheSeanMitchell @catrachito_Mar @AssalRad Amnesty International (and the Human Rights Watch, International Federation for Human Rights, UN Special Committee, Médecins Sans Frontières, Oxfam, the South African, Namibian and Malaysian governments…)

There is basically a media blackout on this story about Amnesty’s annual report. Nothing from NYT, CNN, AP, Reuters, WaPo, BBC… If the largest human rights organization in the world saying Israel is carrying out a LIVE-STREAMED GENOCIDE in Gaza isn’t newsworthy, what is?

How do you mistakenly shoot medics on both sides of the head, bind them, and dump them in a mass grave with their crushed ambulances?

Two bodies were found thrown into a grave, handcuffed. All these medical and aid workers were executed. If you’re talking about free speech, colleges and deportations of students in this country right now and not about how all of that is in service of this - this genocide - you are contributing to the repression & genocide denialism. The two are inseparable.

@CJ_Casselman @EricEngels Against poor teams? Beat the Canes, Panthers as well the Sens who were the hottest team in the league at the time. Took it to OT against some other solid opposition

@EricEngels We need to keep in mind this was a 1-7-2 team leading into the four nations break. They got on a run vs poor teams coming out of the break and management fell into a trap and didn’t make any trades as a result. Just a big mistake

There’s a good chance Kaiden Guhle will return Friday. The Canadiens need to return as well. On the mindset shifts required to stop the bleeding in Carolina👇🏻

The health ministry has released a 1,516–page document listing the names of over 50,000 Palestinians confirmed killed in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023. There are a total of 474 pages listing 15,600+ children’s names. The first 27 pages the age is listed as 0 — children under 1 year old

After 9 months of displacement, Mohamed Gharib returns to his home. The view outside, at around 52 seconds, shows an unfathomable devastation - it is right there for us to see, we have seen it for 15 months and still it’s devastation your mind cannot begin to comprehend.

DECLASSIFIED AUSTRALIA EXCLUSIVE: A 14-month investigation by @EveCogan + @sstephanietrann has found a massive scandal that barely any other media has touched; 100s of millions of $ flowing into #Australian universities from the Pentagon and arms companies since 2007: declassifiedaus.org/2024/04/18/rev…

In just 6 hours, IDF fired at UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, Doctors Without Borders denounced killing of their colleague in Gaza, CPJ condemned Israel killing journalists in Lebanon and the WHO called again for protection of hospitals. Israel is the definition of a rogue state.

The IDF bombed a clearly marked vehicle and killed four engineers going to repair water infrastructure in southern Gaza after they had coordinated the trip with Israeli authorities, Oxfam says oxfam.org/en/press-relea…

Israeli occupation forces just bombed the tents of displaced people around Al-Aqsa Hospital, causing citizens to be trapped and burn inside their tents while they were sleeping , massacres are non stop.

@ampersandanalog Bring on 2025! 🚀

@ampersandanalog The draft is supposedly quite even in the first round, so could be a high price to move a few spots up the draft order, but time will tell I guess. I expect Connors will get the Houston deal done.
