@AaronRegunberg But they don't live in the same communities. Why lie to your followers?




Brandon Sanderson on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: "My end opinion of it was meh. I thought it was fairly mediocre. Some strong elements. Some very weak elements that I think are towing it down. And the good elements were mostly bungled, I felt. The big one for me is the Harfoots. The Harfoots, I feel, were just utterly bungled. ... In these last episodes there was a woman who comes to the guy in charge and says, ‘It’s time to execute them. Let’s take their wheels and make them die.’ Like what are you thinking? We do not need Hobbits talking about murdering other Hobbits. And this is our second time. It’s so baffling and then they only accept the Stranger in after he proves useful. There’s no big-heartedness to that. That is pure utilitarianism." Is he right?



⚖️ UN EXPERT: Israel Using Torture In ‘Genocidal’ Campaign against Palestinians A new report by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese finds Israel has systematically used torture against Palestinians since Oct. 2023, describing it as a core tool of genocide. ➤ Systematic torture as policy: Based on 300+ testimonies, the report says torture is embedded across detention sites and daily life, aimed at “breaking bodies” and forcing Palestinians from their land. ➤ Mass detention and abuse: Over 18,500 Palestinians have been detained, including children. Detainees face starvation, beatings, sexual violence, electric shocks, sleep deprivation, and denial of medical care. Deaths in custody range from 84 to 94+, with many cases concealed. ➤ Sexual violence documented: The report details rape and other forms of sexual abuse against detainees, used as a method of humiliation, coercion, and control. ➤ Targeting professionals: Doctors, journalists, UN staff, and academics are singled out, indicating an effort to dismantle Palestinian society’s capacity to function. ➤ Gaza as “torture environment”: The report says Israel has turned Gaza into a space where no place is safe, combining bombardment, displacement, starvation, and destruction of homes, hospitals, and cultural sites to inflict collective suffering. ➤ Starvation and siege: Policies cutting food, water, fuel, and aid are described as deliberate tools of mass suffering, with hundreds already dead from malnutrition. ➤ Psychological terror: Constant surveillance, forced displacement of nearly 2 million people, and repeated strikes on “safe zones” create what the report calls a permanent state of fear and coercion. The report from @FranceskAlbs concludes torture is being used both as a method and as evidence of genocidal intent, forming part of a broader system of domination, destruction, and forced removal.

No candidate who is serious about winning a general election in a swing state would be associating this closely with this dude.

The building where Dr. Saeed Shamaqadari, an electrical engineering scientist, was assassinated by American fighter jets. In this building, dozens of other citizens were also martyred and injured.
