Consciously Uncoupled from Morality…

Vietnamese activist Bao Ngoc Ashley was aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla when Israeli forces intercepted the vessel in international waters. Detained alongside fellow activists, she says she endured violence, racism, and sexual harassment in Israeli custody. This is her story.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1989 Japanese energy drink commercial is the kind of gloriously bizarre celebrity advertising that could only have come from the late ’80s.

Shameless Germany…. How many more will you arrest for speaking up against Genocide.

I can’t see you how you can possibly avoid using the term ethnic cleansing, without losing your last remaining shreds of integrity as a journalist, @adamparsons. Lebanon's internal displacement rate is now 22.6 percent — more than one in five of its people. Over 1.2 million people, including 350,000 children, have been forced from their homes, with the IDF launching more than 1,840 attacks on Lebanon since March 2, killing more than 1,497 people and injuring more than 4,639. Moreover, the language used by Israel Katz to describe his aims in Southern Lebanon is extraordinarily explicit and self-incriminating. He has confirmed that Israel's military would establish a permanent "security zone" inside Lebanon up to the Litani River, that hundreds of thousands of displaced residents would be "completely prevented" from returning, and that "all the houses in the villages adjacent to the border in Lebanon will be demolished in accordance with the Rafah and Beit Hanoun model in Gaza." The targeting of civilians for displacement specifically identified by their religion (Shia), combined with the destruction of their homes to prevent return, combined with the explicit statement that they will not be permitted to return — these are precisely the elements that international law identifies as forcible transfer and ethnic cleansing. Human Rights Watch has said that "the displacement of the Shia population looks less like a temporary military necessity and more like a move to permanently displace the civilian population based on their religion." Its not complex, Adam. You just haven't got the balls to say it straight, and that failure makes your reportage worse than worthless. It makes it morally bankrupt.

Calling all watermelon fanatics! 📣 China's Henan Agricultural University has bred 1,300 unique watermelon varieties. That means if you ate a different one each day, you'd be on a 3.5-year tasting journey!🍉😍🍉

Here is the map of data centres in Ireland - over 130 of them. Data centres now consume 22% of Ireland’s electricity

Muhammad Ali’s legendary "knockout" by a child is still one of the most wholesome sports clips ever

None of this is satire. → A company spent $500,000,000 on Claude in one month because nobody set usage limits → Uber ran leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used, not what they shipped → Uber burned their entire 2026 budget by April. Their COO said he can’t connect any of it to consumer features → A CTO told Axios employees were using enterprise AI to check the weather → Microsoft canceled most Claude Code licenses because the token bill spiraled → Companies are now laying people off to pay the AI bill. Not because AI replaced the work. Because the bill replaced the headcount.

Reuters reports that Georgia will auction Stalin’s wine collection, which contains around 40,000 bottles after opening the vault in Tbilisi this week for the first time. The proceeds used to open a winemaking school. Stalin's stash includes bottles from some of Bordeaux’s most famous estates, once owned by Russian emperors Alexander III and Nicholas II. After the 1917 Revolution, Soviet authorities confiscated the Romanovs’ imperial collection, and Stalin became its custodian, gradually adding his favourite Georgian varieties. Reuters describes the vault as dimly lit, with tangled cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and a musky sweetness in the air from the precious wines.

I stand 100% with (my Palestinian sister) Susan on this. The unending sense of self-indulgence and narcissism is beyond disgusting and repulsive. Jewish people still think this is about them and the beauty of their opinions, and not about the lives of Palestinians, and their place, stories, identity, pain, legitimacy, humanity

Zionism is the most depraved and twisted belief system. Here they highlight the crimes of others whilst totally ignoring their support for actual war crimes. It's demonic
