OTD in 2018 Jamal Khashoggi walked into an embassy, picked fight with trained killers who just happened to be there, beat himself to death, choped himself up with a bone-saw & then dumped himself in a secluded woodland. Something Donald called a "credible scenario"

Incredible: another Ukrainian famine is unfolding, this time in Russian-occupied Oleshky. The remaining inhabitants of what used to be a thriving small city, now down to about 6000 people, are blockaded by Russian forces and cut off from food and water. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Oleshky: Eating garden weeds to survive in Russian-occupied city cut off from food and water
The BBC has spoken to residents in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky who say they are being "constantly shelled".

Trump: "Mr. Zelenskyy has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia, because he's causing a shortage of diesel fuel. This isn't done by the Middle East, this is done by what's happening with Russia and Ukraine." You morally bankrupt, victim-blaming narcissist, RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE!

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

I encourage everyone to listen to Ed Miliband's full statement announcing the UK ban on Israeli West Bank settlement goods. It perfectly captures the anguish of many of us UK Jews who don't want to see Israel destroyed but who are increasingly horrified at Israel's barbarism against Palestinians.

The return to physical media is a radical act. A book in your hand or a record on the turntable belong to a world beyond subscriptions, licenses, and corporate permission, and they can be lent, inherited, annotated, repaired, and loved. They remain when the platform fails and the servers die.
