🪂 Airdrop: 5–15 tons 🚚 One truck: 15–25 tons 🚚🚚 20-truck convoy: 300–500 tons 🇺🇳 Needed to avert famine: 2,000–5,000 tons/day ⛑️ Airdrops are for remote, inaccessible areas—not places with open land borders. This is humanitarian camouflage. It is a continuation of genocide.

Because he doesn't believe Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives. Because he's totally lost his humanity in his bubble where he sees peoples lives as bargaining chips. And because the man is devoid of all principles and compassion. Next question.

my policy has become no quarter, scorched earth: not only forbidden, but i tell them if they ever plan to use AI for any human intellectual work in the future, they need to admit to themselves they are a mentally self-enfeebled person, morally weak, and a disappointment to god

Sadiq Khan tells LBC: “Recognition should not be a bargaining chip. It’s an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.” Most significant Labour criticism of Starmer’s new position.

AI is rubbish at history. It just makes stuff up. I gave ChatGBT a go yesterday, thinking it might boost my productivity, and it fed me a completely bogus quote by Pindar. But making sure it WAS bogus took time - so far from boosting my productivity, AI had actively sabotaged it.

Lacan used to joke, “My fiancée is never late for an appointment because the moment she is late she is no longer my fiancée.” There are no working-class civil servants because the moment you become a civil servant you are no longer working class. Otherwise the term is meaningless

One of my favourite projects yet, it was such an honour to be in the writer’s room for this one. The brief was tricky: to write the least funny sketch comedy series ever broadcast. But I’m pleased to say we all smashed it

“My scrub nurse that I was working with every single day was followed home by a quad copter drone, and it didn’t kill him on the way home… it waiting until he was home, in his tent, and greeted his three children and killed them all”

Remarkably candid piece on the implosion of Boundless / Unbound: ‘No conspiracy, just good old-fashioned incompetence.’ The short-lived Boundless magazine was briefly excellent, what a shame to lose it

Final Mission: Impossible film would‘ve been much improved if Ethan Hunt died from the bends as he emerged from the sub, leaving the other characters (including standard-issue 20-yrs-younger love interest) to ‘finish the job’ in the last hour. More Hollywood characters must die!

This isn't true at all. Palestinian journalists have been reporting from day one about everything happening on the ground in Gaza. They have routinely broken stories weeks in advance of subsequent coverage in the west. So many of them haved died doing so. Western media could have

This bollocks is reputational triage by western media outlets, who now want to pretend that an impermeable informational fog has hung over Gaza for the last eighteen months when hundreds of on the ground journalists have been reporting everything happening there and would talk

James Marriott is right, as is judge Time: Barry Lyndon is a masterpiece of sound and image... painterly, operatic, sensual, picaresque. Easily Kubrick’s best film
