This New Norm thing on X is really totally utterly hilarious, and I am not lying about that in any way (though you may want to keep a bucket near when you watch). If enough people watch this pilot then Musk will spend good money on making the series. Then we laugh. A lot. twitter.com/XNewNorm/sta...

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

6/ It is essential that all Israeli and US forces be withdrawn from Gaza, because even if there is no real ceasefire, deaths after a so-called "ceasefire" will be a fraction of the amount that will occur if ground forces stay.

5/ If they have boots on the ground they can endlessly sabotage aid for “security reasons” and can kill civilians almost without limit under a doctrine of “force protection”.

4/ The other aim is to maximise the surface area of post-“ceasefire” interface between their forces and the people of Gaza and, by the same token, the armed militants of Al Qassam, Islamic Jihad and other groups.

2/ It is certain that whatever happens Israel will continue the siege and will continue bombing, shelling and drone attacks at some level of frequency. That will only end when the regime in Israel is ended.

1/ What the US and Israel really want from a “ceasefire” is to maximise their ability to continue the genocide in a post-“ceasefire” mode.

An already exploited workforce but RSE employers say it’s not enough. Some want to be able to charge more rent on often substandard accommodation, not pay sick leave, lower wages and provide less hours and sadly we have a Govt that will likely collude in exploitation. #NZpol 1/n

What the Western reaction to the Gaza genocide shows is that there is a real clear ruling class and they are absolute psychopaths.

John Kirby: The ceasefire deal that we announced was definitely an Israeli deal, not one we wrote, and even though Israel denies in public that they agree to the deal, in private they agree that they definitely wrote it themselves (not us) and agree with almost all of what they wrote. Seems legit.

I think people get too invested in the idea of wins and losses - like it is a narrative arc. The reality is one of ongoing struggle. If we don't fight things will get worse, so we keep fighting. In NZ we chant: "Ka whawai tonu matou!" "Ake! Ake! Ake!" Roughly "Our endless struggle! Forever more!"

People are asking why Zionist hasbara is so bad since October 7, but it isn't. Effective propaganda is simplistic and exaggerated - it always borders on self-parody. It's role is to make people take a position and defend it against reason. Their problem is not declining quality, it's over-exposure.
