I hate that bodies do this so often, like they know the least convenient, most upsetting time to do it. Hope it clears up quickly

In fact, they both have committed many war crimes over the years, and I suspect the UK has too.

But when there's no consequences for it, it hardly seems worth pointing out, except to document it for the history books.

They absolutely will not set a precedent in stating that the US and Israel have committed a war crime, but the US and Israel have absolutely committed a war crime: watchlist.org/publications...

I suppose I should have some kind of food. Feels like a lot of effort today though. Odie is refusing to bring me snacks. So rude.

There's not really an image of it, but I think we should have the JESUS CHRIST FENTON incident immortalised on a banknote

Yeah, what we actually need is some kind of digital watermarks for AI output, IMO. Hopefully someone is campaigning for that

This deeply deranged pamphlet has been living rent-free in the heads of most of my friend group for over a year now. Let it infect your minds too.

Bookday! It's my bookday!

Out today is BUTTERFLY EFFECTS, the fifteenth (15! How did that happen?) adventure in the InCryptid series, and the third book narrated by Sarah Zellaby. Sarah's adopted, which is relevant only because she's not human. She's still family. Biology is irrelevant.

I ask you from my heart, please do not underestimate 5 dollars. When many kind people give a little, it becomes life saving care for my child. We cannot do this alone

Finally watching My Dinner With Andre. When I was a kid, I thought it was about Andre the Giant.

I think Family Guy might have done a riff on that, many years later? but it's true, I did

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering β€œdistractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

I just remember when the roof of Notre-Dame de Paris was on fire and how every Western leader became a cultural expert and lamented the damage and how everyone donated money to rebuild it.

I am having a hard time finding a single article in any European or American publication about this.
