Palestinian filmmakers Basel Adra and Hamdan Ballal alongside the Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor made this film at great physical risk to themselves. Studios won't even take the minimal risk of distributing it. Profiles in courage. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/m...

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

i hate to be a monocausal guy but i really think this discussion of masculinity, trade school, the gendering of education etc is beating around the bush. male democrats have seen no sizable drop in their desire to attend college. female republicans have. it’s about politics.

One of the ways Israeli soldiers are having fun doing a genocide in Gaza is by forcing female medical workers to strip at gunpoint after destroying their hospital. These people are part of ‘normal’ Israeli society. www.instagram.com/reel/DEFdTyz...

To prevent online brain poisoning you should have to have some human interaction before you're allowed to post. If you quote a twitter screenshot you have to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor. For every 10K followers you have to explain yourself to a classroom of middle schoolers.

What’s with the trend of celebrity biopics with a weird gimmick? Pharrell Williams had Piece by Piece that told his life story as an animated Lego movie. Now Robbie Williams is presented as a CGI monkey while everyone else is human in his biopic. A quirkiness overdose.
