BBC | #Israel 's defence minister says he has instructed its military to prepare a plan to move all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp in the south of the territory, Israeli media reports say.

One Israeli human rights lawyer condemned it as nothing less than an "operational plan for a crime against humanity".

"It is all about population transfer to the southern tip of the #Gaza Strip in preparation for deportation outside the strip,"

Central Gaza’s Al-Aqsa Hospital to run out of fuel within hours

It is one of the barely functional hospitals left in the central area, and this chronic shortage will have severe repercussions on the lives of many patients who are receiving treatment inside, and will lead to the potential suspension of a number of medical services, including kidney dialysis treatment.

ALEX JONES SAYS A DEAL WAS MADE WITH THE DEEP STATE CONCERNING EPSTEIN

( No Deals! )

====Bullhorn Barry📢 (Opinion / News)

According to Alex, the Deep State is supposedly going to roll over and let Trump do his thing—as long as he backs off the Epstein disclosures.

Yeah… no. That’s never going to happen.

You can’t make deals with devils.

Now, I’m not even saying I believe that claim—but IF there’s any truth to it—NO DEALS CAN BE MADE! Personally, I think what's happening is something else, but I don't think anyone knows for sure except for those on the inside.

Trying to explain "How Capitalism Works" without mentioning its disastrous structural flaws for the masses is just a cover-up, albeit an entertaining one, I must admit.

#Capitalism needs "suckers" on an individual level, all the way to colonies on an "empire" level.

Fortunately, -although I have some doubts about stupidity-
both of these "characteristics" are beginning to disappear.
And this is precisely the path that capitalism will inevitably take.

I think one of the reasons I tend to enjoy "retro-styled" games (eg. pixel art and possibly chiptune music) isn't really about nostalgia at all - there were no games like Eastward, Animal Well, Kingdom: Two Crowns, Stardew Valley or even Undertale when I was a kid with an Amiga. Playing them feels nothing like what playing games felt like when I was a kid with an Amiga either.

Rather, I think it's because pixel art and that sort of gameplay feels much more like a piece of artistic craftsmanship someone cared about. I get the same feeling from hand-drawn vector art (ranging from the simplistic-looking art in eg. Don't Starve and Oxygen Not Included to the "cartoon you can play" style of eg. Spiritfarer). I only very rarely get this feeling out of modern 3D-rendered game art - for lack of a better term, that often feels a lot more "alienated", even when it's technically much better.

(Possibly I'm just better at judging pixel art than 3D rendering, which would be because I'm old. 😀 )

One 3-d rendered game that stands out for me is The Long Dark. Its art style borders on cartoony: it's 3-d, but highly stylized and not hyperrealistic. This video gives a sense of it. It's one of the few games I've played as an adult where I felt like I had an experience. I remember and still think about it from time to time.

Hyperrealistic 3-d game art tends to trigger unpleasant feelings in me. Usually either it's the uncanny valley, where everything feels creepy, or it's one I can't easily describe where I feel like I'm smelling cellophane the whole time (everything's too shiny) and just want to leave before I'm sick from it. It's disorienting, almost dizzying, and I can't suspend disbelief enough to enjoy the game a lot of the time (while also acknowledging some of these games are visually very impressive). I've had this reaction to modern digital television shows too. I'll admit that maybe I'm unusual, but anyway I have a kind of "alienated" response to this kind of game art too.

Brazil’s most revered Indigenous leader, Raoni Metuktire, has said he believes that one of the former president Jair Bolsonaro’s goals while in office was to “exterminate” the country’s Indigenous peoples.

“He really wanted to exterminate us. But Indigenous peoples across Brazil united to resist his government,” he says, adding that “from now on, every president elected in Brazil must respect Indigenous peoples”

@RichardJMurphy hits the nail on the head (as so often):

'if any political party wishes to truly succeed — not just scrape by, but build lasting loyalty and transform this country — it must make the promise that it will put people first, meet their needs from cradle to grave, and offer them freedom from fear'!

However, our political class seems quite some way from that agenda....

It’s made to order. First, eliminate the aid system after creating circumstances of enormous suffering. Then, kill, starve, vanquish and displace those in need of that aid. Finally: give the pretence of humanity by ensuring some aid to those whose suffering you created in the first place.

As things stand, the system of aid distribution in the Gaza Strip is intended to cause suffering and destruction to recipients.

On Tuesday, The Guardian published an opinion piece by Colombian President Gustavo Petro, in which he accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of orchestrating a "campaign of devastation" in Gaza and called on the international community to move beyond symbolic outrage toward concrete action in defense of international law.

Petro has emerged as one of the most outspoken world leaders condemning "Israel’s" war on Gaza.

that's kinda like saying OSI should write software.

IMO FSF's role is to be a steward and promoter of Free Software values and definition. For example, by giving well argumented opinions on which licenses satisfy the Free Software Definition, but also which software and hardware best fulfills the spirit of Free Software and which doesn't.

I agree it does a poor job at that, but that doesn't mean it should be doing something else.

Israeli occupation forces detained Nasser al-Lahham, Al Mayadeen’s bureau chief in occupied Palestine, in a pre-dawn incursion into his home in Beit Lahm, southern West Bank.

The Israeli security service, Shin Bet, was directly responsible for the detention, which specifically targeted al-Lahham’s personal broadcasting studio in search of electronic equipment and media devices linked to his journalistic work.

The nation state system, Western conceptions of property rights, and the theater we call "rule of law" are all reaching their logical ends.

They were all just Colonialism 2.0 and the whole inane system is slowly being crushed under its own weight.

We need a detailed proposal for what a post-nation state could look like.

Particular attention must be paid to how systems that sustain civilization can be picked up & transformed with as little damage as possible as the systems of yesterday perish.

En 2017, il a présidé une commission d’enquête parlementaire sur la vente de la branche énergie d’ #Alstom à #GeneralElectric, dénonçant une possible perte de souveraineté industrielle. Il a saisi le parquet de Paris en 2019 et a reçu le «prix éthique» d’ #Anticor en 2020 pour ce travail.
Gaulliste convaincu, il critiquait régulièrement la #politique d’Emmanuel #Macron, notamment sur la faillite du pays et la désindustrialisation.
Olivier Marleix est mort aujourd’hui à son domicile d’Anet. Selon plusieurs sources, il se serait suicidé, une information confirmée par le procureur de Chartres.
