They can spend it all on AI instead. What an amazingly efficient system.

We're all going to burn. Which will save on spending money on us, apparently an ideal situation.

⭕️ Israel’s far right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir responds to Vice President JD Vance: “For every tear shed by an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers should cry. All of Lebanon should burn.”

He writes:

“With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not up for grabs. All of Lebanon should burn. Our highest duty is to protect Israel’s citizens and IDF soldiers, and that commitment comes before any other consideration.

I tell the Prime Minister, including in our meetings: for every tear shed by an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers should cry.

Enough with the ping-pong. In the Middle East, you do not win through measured responses and restraint. You have to go crazy. Erase. Defeat terrorism.”

🇸🇩 A confidential Doctors Without Borders (MSF) investigation found widespread sexual abuse and exploitation by some staff working in camps hosting Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad, AP reports. 

The report documented 59 allegations, including claims that aid workers traded food, jobs, or humanitarian assistance for sex, with some victims reportedly underage girls. MSF dismissed 18 staff members, and investigators said some cases suggested possible organized sexual trafficking.

The MSF report said it found 59 allegations of abuse and said 18 staff members were dismissed and barred from future employment. The report also said some of the repeated exploitation suggested potentially organized “sexual trafficking.”Sam Mednick

The report credited AP as playing “a fundamental role as an external whistleblower.” In 2024 AP reporting found that women had accused staff of sexually exploiting them in displacement sites in Chad, where hundreds of thousands fled from #Sudan’s devastating civil war.

The report says the group was investigating several cases of sexual exploitation of female refugees in exchange for food, water and milk. It also found cases of sex in exchange for jobs, and the prostitution of female refugees, including underage girls.

In response to questions about the memo, MSF called it “a candid internal analysis” that laid out where systems failed. Since issuing the report, MSF has strengthened recruitment efforts, reference checks and complaint systems.Sam Mednick

BC has been subsidizing a largely US lumber industry for decades via low stumpage rates (royalties) & more, yet the companies keep closing mills because they've cut virtually all the old growth, & also their plantations in the US grow faster than the firetrap monocultures they replanted here #bcpoli

For argument’s sake, let’s say you reject the science proving that burning fossil fuel causes bad climate change. Fine. But why is anyone OK with continuing to burn quantities of fossil fuel that kill millions, when we actually have the energy technology to replace much fossil fuel & burn less?

Look, there's a lot going on right now but our friend has been detained by ICE for 29 days now. It's a drop in the toxic bucket of fuck that we are all currently swimming in, but please don't forget about him and others like him who committed no crime other than being brown. His kids miss their dad.

Frustrated writers may find serenity by remembering that publishing success depends less on craft or artistry than “relevance,” which can mean a hundred things. And those who game the market—“But is it relevant?”—might not enjoy their work as much as you, writing from the heart.
