Dagens observation: skillnaden mellan när hårdrockare och punkare går på konsert är att hårdrockarna tvättar händerna efter att ha pissat.

@bucephalus424 That sums it up pretty well. If you ever stumble upon this one, it is also worth reading. The Skin was not good enough though.

Highly fictionalized and overtly self exculpatory, but the writing is extraordinary. Burned through just over two hundred pages of it flying across the country yesterday

Födelsedagen och första dagen av semestern snart avverkad. Det är bra att handla skivor.

Gaza after the ceasefire is defined by the ‘yellow line’ — drawn by Israel, and dividing the strip in two. 54% of Gaza is now inaccessible to its population; Palestinians approaching or crossing the line from west to east are met with lethal force. Meanwhile, Israel continues to attack civilians and buildings west of the line, such that nowhere in Gaza is safe. Our evidence suggests that Israel seeks to make the ‘yellow line’ permanent, as ‘reconstruction’ plans normalise this new stage of Israel’s occupation: frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/ceasefire

En väldigt stor andel vuxna personer (de utger sig för att vara detta) tycks helt ha missat att Astrid Lindgren skrev böcker för små barn. Texter riktade till personer i lågstadieåldern. När du fyller tio bör du intellektuellt gått vidare.

New data reveals 98 Palestinian deaths in Israeli custody since Oct. 7 Post-mortems & testimonies suggest many died from torture, medical neglect & food deprivation. According to leaked Israeli intelligence database, dozens were civilians. @yuval_abraham 972mag.com/98-palestinian…

Välbehövlig läsning. Litteraturen behöver till mycket större den visa hela samhället, inte bara den medelklass som allt centreras kring.

@MalatestasDream Jag hade tänkt se den, men det har inte blivit av ännu.

@bucephalus424 It’s good. But as a Swede it’s depressing to realize how much worse our Public Service journalism has become over the years.

Man kan alltid lita på att borgerliga dagstidningar skönmålar korrupta krigsbrottslingar. Uppskattar SVDs beskrivning att Irakkriget skördade ”tusentals dödsoffer”. Den mer exakta siffran är en halv til en miljon människor.

happy spiritual cramp day to all who celebrate! (this album is so fucking good wtf)

Efter två års slakt och nu fullbordat faktum kryper gråterskorna på SDS fram. Det är så dags nu. Till ingen förvåning är analysen platt. Hamas måste avväpnas, man vågar inte nämna ordet folkmord. Det är som att de inte förmår ta om vad som hänt.

According to this 2017 article in The Independent, allied governments were already receiving information about the unprecedented scope of the Holocaust in late 1941. By late 1942 they were fully aware that several million Jews had already been killed, that millions more were at risk, and that Germany, in the words of British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden that December, was waging a war of extermination against Europe's Jews. There has been ongoing debate about why nothing was done in direct response to this information. Explanations range from anti-Semitism, to an allied assessment that bombing the railroad tracks leading to the extermination camps (or the camps themselves) would have an only temporary and limited impact, to the conviction among relevant governments that they should focus their resources on defeating Germany's Nazi government, because their priority was military victory and this would also be the most effective way to end the atrocities. What is not debatable is that these governments could have spared large numbers of Jewish lives by offering them refuge but made a deliberate choice not to. It was the previous incarnation of "there's a reason nobody wants them", so popular among Israel flunkies these days when discussing Palestinians. In contrast to today's Middle East, during the 1940s there were no fears expressed that refugees would be prevented from returning to their homes after war's end. The article also reveals that allied governments, acting on the information at their disposal about Germany's slaughter of the Jews, which was far from complete, began drafting war crimes indictments against German leaders in 1942. This was several years before Soviet soldiers entered Majdanek, the first camp to be liberated in mid-1944. There was opposition to such legal prosecutions, but then as now this was for political rather than legal reasons. In those days, no one in their right mind claimed we should ignore the overwhelming evidence at our disposal, and first obtain a legal ruling definitively establishing that crimes were committed, before indicting those responsible. By contrast, in 2025 any talk of the Gaza Genocide is denounced as "blood libel" because the International Court of Justice has not issued a final ruling on the matter. And if, as widely expected, it finds that Israel has indeed committed genocide in Gaza, that too will be denounced as a "blood libel", only more loudly. independent.co.uk/news/world/wor…

It’s the 25th anniversary of my first book, Troublemakers, a short story collection. And it’s still in print by the University of Iowa Press. Damn, I’m getting old.
