I realize the Europeans have largely gone to bed, but: I got bitten by a dog yesterday and had a bad reaction to it and ended up throwing up all night last night.

"The remains were recovered from the rubble of homes destroyed by Israeli strikes on 23 Nov. 2023, in the Sabra neighbourhood of #Gaza City... The 112... were among the 308 people reported killed... members of the Al-Hassayneh & Abu Sharia families." m.youtube.com/shorts/4wLmM... #GazaNews #Israel

💥 Israel is burning the olive groves of Yaroun in South Lebanon. One of the oldest villages on Earth. A 3,000-year-old village. This is an act of ecocide.

From MZ and @asians4tino.bsky.social "To me, this issue is less about foreign diplomacy, offending China, or jeopardising trade relations. I’m more concerned about the further escalation of racial abuse against migrants of colour in Aotearoa."

It somehow seems apt that the Butlerian Jihad is kicked off by a country with a Muslim majority. I can't wait to dig out my out slide-rule and tell the kids that, aside from drugs, this is now the closest thing they have to the internet.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

This is not a parody - no really it isn't. This pro-genocide MP fancies herself as, well, she just fancies herself really. She held up a deep-fake (she says) nude picture of herself in parliament. Now she proudly portrays herself as "Right-wing Barbie". Probably inspired by Klaus.

A dear medical colleague and friend working in Gaza currently sent this photo to me. Canada is sending fortified biscuits into Gaza, but also still sending weapons to Israel to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Don’t be fooled by Canada’s “humanitarian alibi”.
