64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.

From my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT: "Trump covers up crime with scandal. That is his main propaganda tactic, the one few seem to be able to discern...The crimes are much worse than the scandals, but the media will always take the scandal bait."

You receive a call on your phone. The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraudulent payment. "Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right? The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank." 🧵 1/4

Can’t believe this needs to be said but here we are. The MMR vaccine DOES NOT contain pieces of aborted fetuses. The vaccine contains weakened forms of measles, mumps, and rubella viruses and inactive ingredients like rHSA, neomycin, and sorbitol to stabilize the solution. That’s it.

Planned obsolescence - companies making old but functional devices stop working so people buy new ones - is one of many challenges in smart homes. There's a lot of potential to improve comfort, convenience, energy efficiency and grid-interactivity, but we need standards that prevent stuff like this.

Wikipedia has an independent and transparent editing process for establishing shared truth. The Internet Archive shows what was public before it was changed. Without them, any hope of establishing some kind of shared singular reality is truly gone. Sounds overly dramatic, but such are the times.

Starmer faces Labour revolt over plan to raid bank accounts of benefit claimants. This revived Tory Bill must be defeated, assumes that everyone on benefits is a criminal and doesn't deserve any financial privacy. The plan wasn't in the manifesto. There is no impact assessment.
