What an insane thing to tweet. Ben Gvir is literally Israel’s National Security minister! He is in charge of Israeli prisons and Israeli police! And everyone knows that the treatment of Palestinians off camera is infinitely worse than the treatment of Westerners on camera
Ambassador Yechiel (Michael) Leiter@yechielleiter

As @IsraeliPM Netanyahu and FM @gidonsaar have made clear, Itamar Ben Gvir’s reckless grandstanding is not representative of government policy. I am Israel’s top diplomat in the U.S., at the heart of our most important alliance. Ben Gvir’s antics take a sledgehammer to our diplomatic efforts while Israel’s enemies gleefully jump on every unfortunate nonsense to discredit and demonize. The provocateurs of the Flotilla charade were properly detained in accordance with international law and will be deported to their home countries. End of story.

I heard an interview today about AI in creative spaces and the man being interviewed said “AI is data, and Data can only look backwards. Creativity looks forwards.” And I need to sit with that in the best possible way.

We don’t need a Norwegian journalist to tell us about press freedom in India. Hear it from an Indian journalist. Jai Hind 🧿🫡

I am drafting a response to a journalist regarding Israel's abuse of the flotilla activists Gmail's AI is telling me that using the words "Israel's genocide in Gaza" could be "improved" by replacing "genocide" with "actions." Sorry tech overlords. You'll have to try harder

There’s this bizarre tendency by Zionists to claim that a literal cabinet minister does not represent Israel’s government, while actions by random Palestinians define the entire Palestinian nation. Funny how that works
Omri Ronen עמרי רונן@omrironen24

Itamar Ben-Gvir does not represent the people of the State of Israel or Judaism or Zionism. He represents hate and division. After the coming election, we will return this country to what its founders contemplated: A free, liberal, and democratic State of Israel advocating true Jewish values.

This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state. The strongest welfare states in the world (the Nordics) tax everyone, including nurses. And they give everyone universal healthcare, childcare, pensions, education in return. When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut. That's why billionaires keep pushing this idea. The real scandal isn't that this nurse pays $12k. It's that Jeff Bezos pays $0.
Shay Boloor@StockSavvyShay

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

It should be Indian prime minister Modi who sparks controversy for refusing to answer media questions while abroad, not a journalist for simply asking. trib.al/npAd03w

The Granta story -- whether or not it's AI -- is the result of decades of the publishing world constantly wearing down "ethnic" writers with their demands that they speak in very particular and compliant voices, using hoary, old, tired tropes. Karma is a wilted jasmine tree.

Germany is in panic over Chinese companies taking over its markets at home, abroad and in China. Having spent quite some time in China in the 2010s, I can’t help but thinking back to the arrogance and quite frankly racism of German expat businesses people. Chinese engineers with Ivy League degrees speaking fluent English and German looked down upon by German engineers with a degree from some German university, unimpressive English and less than two sentences of Chinese. The Germans didn’t see it coming because they couldn’t imagine Chinese people becoming better at what they are doing than themselves. An industry insider told me at the time how keen Chinese entrepreneurs were to collaborate with German car companies on EV development. But all the Germans worried about was they are going to steal our IP. Well, here we are.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections? When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?
