Israel is forcibly displacing over 1 million Palestinians in Gaza City. “Displacement is not just moving from one place to another. It feels like a version of hell where you are split in two, your body in one place, your soul trapped somewhere else.” https://t.co/YZR32iTcAz

Israel’s devastating assault on my city is forcing thousands to flee in search of ‘safety’ that we know doesn't exist, and at the cost of losing our homes forever.

If your current smartphone is fully functional, I highly discourage purchasing this. Rechargeable batteries use cobalt mined by the men, women, and children of Congo working in horrific conditions and paid the equivalent of a few dollars a day.

Phone and electric car batteries are made with cobalt mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Cobalt Red author Siddharth Kara describes the conditions for workers as a "horror show."

The real reason the AI bubble will burst is because transhumanism & tech accelerationism form a unified belief system that is anti-human. Deep down we sense this. Due to the arrogance and impatience of the accelerationists the adverse effects of their planned tech utopian future

Sam Altman just admitted AI is similar to the dot-com bubble that caused the Nasdaq to collapse 80%. Now why would he admit it at this precise moment in time? I bet you can guess...

Half of $NVDA employees now have a net worth of $25 million. Sounds exactly like Nortel and Cisco employees back in 2000 when the parking lot was full of sports cars. Most refused to sell the entire way down. https://t.co/si3iYYONCD

I don’t think it’s sufficiently appreciated how much the insular circles of the extremely online have fostered a generation of smart people talking about unworkable futures based on plausible but unhinged fan fictions about how the world actually works.

Let’s be clear: the world is watching Israel attack a civilian boat carrying no weapons—only humanitarian aid—flying a U.K. flag in international waters & carrying humanitarians of many nationalities. Israel has precisely zero authority to do so under any law. #AllEyesOnDeck

There is something so audaciously cruel about kidnapping a group of humanitarians, armed only with humanitarian aid, as they set out to break the siege of a people being exterminated by bombs and starvation. And then, on camera, offering them sandwiches and water — by the very

BREAKING: Israel is firing on civilians near a US aid point in Gaza again Reports of dozens injured so far as quadcopter drones open fire on starving civilians West of the Rafah aid site. Teasing the hungry with aid then shooting them. Nothing is more sadistic.
