Me: Ugh my four year old is SO annoying asking all these questions before she finally falls asleep. Also Me: How do these scientists know how Dilophosaurus mated? Are they guessing based on modern bird behaviour? Did a boy dinosaur ever kill a girl dinosaur because of sexual rejection? Are humans-

Nothing helps you deal with existential crisis like recognising the Earth is older than you can even conceive of and that your mammalian ancestors had it way worse than you and never developed the language to complain about it,

My four-year old has been playing the Lilo and Stitch soundtrack on repeat for a full week now. I’ve come to really appreciate the simplicity of that movie in this era. Also grateful for the break from KPop Demon Hunters.

I am mostly off of micro-sharing sites, but I just wanted to pop on to say that #BibiNetanyahu’s influence on President Trump’s decision to go to war with #Iran has nothing to do with the Jewish faith.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I am in a toxic relationship with #RyanMurphy. I start his shows, all excited about the cast and the atmosphere, but I never finish them. Radically progressive portrayals of gender, sexuality, and (sometimes) race, all wrapped up in the ickiest packaging. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/m...

One of the Jewish traditions I like most is on Passover, when Jews mourn the suffering of Egyptians even amid our liberation. When reciting the 10 plagues during the Seder, we dip a finger into our wine and remove a drop each time. The message is clear: you don’t rejoice in your enemy’s suffering.

‘The inadequate provision of aid to civilians on terrain that is, in effect, under occupation is a war crime. A plan by hardliners in Israel’s government to corral Gazans into a permanent “humanitarian city” would amount to ethnic cleansing.’

This tiny body, wrapped in a burial shroud no bigger than a pillow case, was killed by both my govts. The Israeli one chose to starve him, his mother, father, siblings, cousins, grandparents, neighbors, & the morgue worker who wrapped him in the shroud. My US govt enabled it. His name was Youssef.

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency. They are out of energy and they are starving to death. I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it. 🧵

Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir
21 juillet 2025
L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024.
Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls à rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis près de deux ans.
Nous refusons de les voir mourir.
L'un deux, Bashar, collabore pour l'AFP depuis 2010, d'abord comme fixeur, ensuite comme photographe pigiste, et depuis 2024 comme principal photographe.
Samedi 19 juillet, il est parvenu à poster un message sur Facebook: « Je n'ai plus la force de travailler pour les médias.
Mon corps est maigre et je ne peux plus travailler ».
Bashar, 30 ans, travaille et vit dans des conditions égales à celles de tous les Gazaouis, allant d'un camp de réfugiés à un autre camp au gré des bombardements israéliens. Depuis plus d'un an il vit dans le dénuement le plus total et travaille en prenant d'énormes risques pour sa vie. L'hygiène est pour lui un problème majeur, avec des périodes de maladies intestinales sévères.
Bashar vit depuis février dans les ruines de sa maison de Gaza City avec sa mère, ses quatre frères et sœurs et la famille d'un de ses frères. Leur maison est vide de tout aménagement et confort, à part quelques coussins. Dimanche matin, il a rapporté que son frère aîné était « tombé, à cause de la faim ».
Même si ces journalistes reçoivent un salaire mensuel de l'AFP, il n'y a rien à acheter ou alors à des prix totalement exorbitants. Le système bancaire a disparu, et ceux qui pratiquent le change entre les comptes bancaires en ligne et l'argent liquide prennent une commission de près de 40%.
L'AFP n'a plus la possibilité d'avoir un véhicule et encore moins de l'essence pour permettre à ses journalistes de se déplacer pour leurs reportages. Circuler en voiture équivaut de toutes les façons à pre…

I know people are up in arms about “platforming” these “people” and I absolutely see where those folks are coming from, but I also think stuff like this can be a useful thing to show normies who aren’t as chronically online and in the weeds as we all are and who may not know it’s gotten this bad.

I will be happy to be wrong, but I would like it if some folks stopped acting like the Epstein story is going to be the thing that brings down Trump. He will never be “brought down”, but his hold on power might very well fracture because he only employs the most incompetent people.

I’ve fallen into another true crime rabbit hole. Almost every serial killer in the UK and the US from the 1960s to the 90s is a man with a long list of violent sexual offences against women and children that authorities passed over. Yeesh.
