📈 Confirmed: Live metrics show a partial restoration to internet connectivity in #Iran on day 88, after 2093 hours of near-total isolation from international networks, the longest nationwide internet shutdown in modern history. It is unclear if the restoration will be sustained.

DISGUSTING: Dr. Nawaf Al-Takrouri, head of the Palestinian Scholars Abroad Association: "I don't think a reasonable Muslim can see the fantastic gains all over the world, and still say negative things about [Oct 7th] Al-Aqsa Flood" and that Gaza's destruction is "a natural price for the liberation of Al-Aqsa" — one that "may require 1 million martyrs across the Muslim world." These disgusting people do not see the blood of our children in Gaza as anything more than a tool for their fantasy of so-called liberation. This is a death cult. 70,000 dead is not enough for them. 150,000 is not enough. They want millions of deaths — and they speak about Gaza's destruction and the killing of our people with excitement. Absolutely vile.

Er zijn nog eerlijke journalisten van linkse outlets die niet helemaal verteerd zijn door activistenpropaganda... allez ja, beter laat dan nooit... archive.is/20260523121326/vo… "All of those projections were plausible enough under the numbers set by RCP 8.5, but by the mid-2010s, researchers, journalists, and even official government reports were routinely calling the scenario “business as usual,” a phrase that transformed a stress test into something that sounded like a forecast. It wasn’t, and it was never meant to be. Somewhere along the way, though, that distinction got lost."
Vox with a BOMBSHELL admission in the wake of the demise of RCP8.5. “Those numbers shaped a decade and a half of climate journalism, including a lot of my own when I covered climate change at Time magazine. I didn’t always know — and didn’t always communicate — that the scenario behind the most apocalyptic, attention-getting findings was largely an attempt to imagine how bad things could get, not a true forecast. But I wasn’t alone. RCP 8.5 was a frequent background presence in climate journalism.” vox.com/future-perfect/48948…

Perspectieven die nooit overwogen worden in onze (mainstream) media. Terwijl ze IMO wel wat gewicht dragen. In elk geval veel meer gewicht dan een "internationaal recht" dat je in de praktijk niet (zonder US) kan enforcen, wellicht zelfs zelfs nog niet met 10% GDP aan defensie-besteding aan NAVO of een hypothetische "Palestijnse" UN-vredesmacht.

Is oil expensive? Took an oil contact for breakfast at (admittedly, overpriced) restaurant in London's Mayfair. Two coffees; two orange juices; one yogurt and granola; one eggs and salmon. The bill came at £75.9 (~$100). A barrel of WTI wouldn't cover it. #PrebischSinger

Russian source: In exchange for military aid, Russia is sharing nuclear submarine technology with North Korea. Pyongyang asked for technology sharing rather than procuring such subs. Russian officials are reportedly already in NK for initial survey of shipyards for tech installs.

Though I really didn’t want to spend any time on this, I need to make one thing clear, which is that the loathsome Shaiel Ben Ephraim, pro-Israel commentator turned pro-Palestine activist, has recently crossed two lines from which there is really no coming back. Number one is that he doxxed my entire family and posted their information, including the names of babies and children as young as three and four years old, and those in Gaza who are still in Hamas territory, and shared this information with a network of Gazans that includes people in Hamas’s orbit. This is abhorrent behavior that is also worsened by his attempt to get Gazans to send harassing messages to my colleagues where I work – he was writing posts for Gazans and having them share the text as if it were their own when it was clearly him writing these tweets and, in some cases, using fake accounts to post. Worse, he had a terrible habit of posting insults, ad hominem attacks, and profanity for a few minutes, hoping I would see them, then deleting the comments, not to mention the late-night messages of rage and fury he would send. I tolerated the disturbing past of Shaiel and the problematic behavior that includes the exploitation of Gazans to make him look like a benevolent savior. What I will never tolerate from him or anyone else, is that no matter how much you despise me, you can come after me all you want, and that’s fair – but going after my family, including children and my sisters and placing their lives at risk in a war zone is a new low that speaks volume to how dangerous, problematic, and troublesome this individual is. I caution all who believe that he is truly “pro-Palestine” from further engaging with him. As I said, you can dislike me all you want and come after me, but there are red lines even amongst political and ideological opponents.

I have long suspected that this ideological takeover is not an organic, people-driven shift. I think we are victims of deliberate manipulation, and my instinct evidence suggests the agents of this manipulation are Russia, Qatar money, and the IRGC & affiliates.

Moeten we het normaal vinden dat een voorzitter van @cdenv uitpakt met Kneecap? Een groep die tijdens optredens er de gewoonte van maakte om "Go Hamas" en "Go Hezbollah" te scanderen met bijhorende vlaggen van die terreurgroepen? Welk publiek hoopt Mahdi aan te spreken? Waanzin.

A lot of ppl defended the use of *that* photo. Now the NYT explicitly *rejects* that defense--its editors explained clearly in internal comms why it was unethical. And it turns out some of the assumptions about Israel's actions may need revision:
