Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground
NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Oasis weren’t just a band. They were a MOVEMENT. Working class lads who made it big. But yeah, keep tweeting from your iPhone with your skinny oat latte about how they’re "ploddy music for coked up dads". Absolute clowns.

David Adler reporting, in audio, on the brutal treatment of Israel's abductees - on the actual conditions inside Israel's prisons - on the display of inhumanity by Israeli officials, including genocidal Ben-Gvir and his minions. Listen now!

imho western governments should keep funnelling hundreds of billions into a company developing a technology which still has a primary use case of producing forgeries and aiding fraud, and which both deadens people's experience of reality and makes them deeply mistrustful of it

this is a man who went on national radio and said israel has the right to cut off power and water to an entire populace in response to its citizens being kidnapped, who now holds the position that britons being kidnapped makes them effectively subjects of their captors
Keir Starmer’s spokesman asked about Israel detaining British citizens who were on the Gaza aid flotilla, while in international waters, replies that it is a “matter for the Israeli Government”

this is a genuinely surreally insane position to take as the official government line, even by the standards of the last two years

My friend and comrade David Adler was abducted by Israel for attempting to deliver aid to Gaza. He has still not been released. We call for David's immediate release, along with all other crew members of the Global Sumud Flotilla. The siege is a crime. Breaking it is not.
