94 yaşındaki efsane aktör Clint Eastwood, genç nesle lüksün gerçek anlamını şu sözlerle anlattı: “Lüksü saatlerde, bilekliklerde, villalarda ya da yatlarda aramayın. Lüks; kahkaha atabilmek, dostlarla vakit geçirmek, yağmurun yüzünüze düşmesi, sarılmalar ve öpücüklerdir. Lüksü mağazalarda, hediyelerde, partilerde ya da etkinliklerde aramayın. Lüks; sevilmek, saygı görmek, anne babanızın hâlâ hayatta olması ve torunlarınızla oynayabilmektir. Gerçek lüks, paranın satın alabildiği değil; satın alamadığı şeylerdir…”

It is becoming deeply disturbing what @abcnews (and its website) blatantly fails to report. Events that we can see, hear, and read verifiable reports on other news sites. Silence is complicity. 😠 #GazaGenocide #WestBank #Lebanon #Iran #IsraeliTerrorism

The men in masks here are Israeli soldiers who stand accused of torturing and raping Palestinian prisoners. This is how they were greeted as they entered the court room - as heroes. When will Western leaders address the illness that exists in large parts of Israeli society?

No comment from the govt or media about Australian IDF soldiers returning home? Is it because they are complicit in Israel's & U.S. war crimes against humanity?

Arresting people for what they say in private conversations on a train, is treating your own citizens as enemies.

1700s. American colonists are the tallest population on earth. The average revolutionary soldier stood at 5'8" at a time when his European counterpart was 5'5". They were eating venison, beef, pork, and dairy from land that hadn't yet been broken by intensive farming. Game was everywhere. The forests fed them. 1850. Still the tallest. The country runs on bison, cattle, lard, butter, eggs, and game. 1950. Still near the top. The post-war American is two inches taller than his grandfather. 1960. Height growth begins to flatten. 1980. The line goes horizontal. 2000. The Dutch, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Danes, the Estonians, the Czechs, and the Germans have all overtaken the Americans. 2020. American men rank in the bottom half of developed nations for height and are now shorter than their fathers in several demographic groups. The exact period of the stagnation lines up almost perfectly with the introduction of the Dietary Guidelines, the rise of seed oils, the demonisation of red meat, the explosion of ultra-processed food, and the substitution of margarine for butter. You can argue about which of those did the most damage. You cannot argue that the country got taller while the changes were happening. The country got shorter.

A short history of the great British improvement. They came for beef dripping. We got margarine, then seed oils, then a cardiac ward in every hospital. They came for butter. They told your grandmother it would kill her husband. The replacement was a tub of palm oil emulsified with rapeseed and a yellow dye, and her husband died of a heart attack in 1989 anyway. They came for full-fat milk. We got skimmed milk, a vitamin D deficiency epidemic in children, and a cereal aisle fortified to plug the gap. They came for mutton, the meat that fed every shepherd, miner, and mill worker for six hundred years. We got a chicken breast injected with water and a turkey twizzler. They came for the kipper. We got a Findus boil-in-the-bag, dyed orange, and a fish oil capsule sold at the chemist to make up for the omega-3 nobody is eating. They came for wool. We got polyester fleece, and microplastics in human placentas. Every one tested. Sixty-two out of sixty-two. They came for leather. We got synthetic shoes that delaminate in eighteen months, and a high street with no cobbler. They came for the cotton nappy. We got the disposable, and a landfill that will outlast the child wearing it. They came for the cast iron pan handed down three generations. We got Teflon, and a forever chemical now found in 98% of British rivers. They came for the wooden bowl your grandmother kneaded dough in. We got Tupperware, then BPA, then "BPA-free" plastic containing compounds we have not yet bothered to measure. Now they are coming for the cow herself. The replacement is a textured pea isolate, extruded in a factory in the American Midwest, packaged in plastic, and marketed as the ethical option by a company called Cargill, who happen to be the third-largest meat processor in the United States. Every traditional material we have been told to give up was working perfectly, for free, for centuries. Every industrial replacement has been worse for the body, worse for the land, and considerably better for the shareholders of the company that sold it. The pattern is not subtle, and the people running it are not embarrassed. Your great-grandmother is no longer here to call it. You are.

Could not be more proud that my work has been part of exposing the horrors, by the New York Times, of Israeli torture of the hostages it takes. I moved away from Zionism when guards at Sde Teiman told me what happened there and instead of trying to fix it, Israelis and their supporters tarred me instead. This feels like closing a circle for me. May the hostages be released and the perpetrators held accountable.

Israeli soldiers admit killing Palestinians in Gaza 'no matter the age, even if unarmed' ift.tt/BIPSgOe

It still amazes me that we need a Royal Commission costings $MILLIONS to understand WHY Australians DON'T like Zionist Jews!!

By failing to get Iran deal ahead of Xi meeting, Trump will arrive in Beijing with an economy under strain, falling poll numbers, poor midterm prospects, key munitions depleted, military assets re-deployed from Indo-Pacific to Middle East, and humbled by a third-rate power as he confronts a first-rate one. Trump put off this summit a month ago to avoid just this scenario, and now finds himself in an ever weaker bargaining position than he was then.

The genius of American empire, and it is a kind of genius, a dark and studied one, is that it made its own citizens into its most effective defenders without ever formally conscripting them. No one told the average American: your identity must be fused with the actions of your government so that any criticism of the government feels like a personal attack on your soul. It happened through accumulation. Through decades of films and textbooks and news anchors and political speeches and sports stadium flyovers and the casual, omnipresent, never-interrogated assumption that America is the main character of history. The main character does not commit atrocities. The main character makes difficult decisions. The main character has flaws that are part of their journey. The main character's violence is always, on some level, justified by the narrative logic of the story. The people the main character kills are not main characters. They are plot devices. Obstacles. Context. Sad music for thirty seconds and then a cut to the protagonist processing their trauma. By the time most Americans encounter a real challenge to this story, an actual, sourced, detailed account of what American power has done to specific people in specific places, they are not encountering it as new information. They are encountering it as an attack on their personhood. And they fight it the way you fight an attack on your personhood. Not with evidence. With fury.

@RhondaGarad While you celebrate Mother’s Day, share a thought for all the mothers whose kids were killed and are still being killed in Gaza and in Lebanon

Happy mother's day.

With fertilizer, this planet feeds 8.5 billion people. Without it, we can feed around 2 billion. We have just disrupted 30% of global fertilizer supply through the Strait of Hormuz. And people are still talking about this as if it is an oil story. It is not an oil story. It is a food story. And the numbers do not care about politics.

Lebanon is the second most-documented genocide in history after Palestine, yet the most denied.

More billionaires should be doing this: Kochhar announces during his commencement speech that he is paying off all of their senior year debts. He’s the son of Prakash Chand Kochhar, an immigrant from India.

Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu blames the increasing disgust for Israel in the United States on the rise of social media, and dismisses Israel’s abhorrent genocide in Gaza and crimes in the occupied West Bank as ‘mistakes’. The reason Israel is despised by most of the world is because people can see with their own eyes on a daily basis the gleeful genocidal fever of Israelis as they commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. They can see that the IDF is the 21st century’s Waffen SS. They can see the pure sadism of Israeli settlers as they attack Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and steal their land. Israel isn’t ‘besieged’ on the propaganda front because of mistakes being exploited, it’s because the global population isn’t stupid and can see that genocidal sadism is deliberate Israeli state policy.

@TanaGaneva Why is this report not on the front page of every newspaper and the leading story of the TV evening news in the USA

"After he was dumped into his cell, he concluded that the spot where he had been raped had been used before, for he found other people’s vomit, blood and broken teeth crushed into his skin." This is by Nick fucking Kristoff and it's not even visible on the front page. Why is it not a top story? nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…
