Important to know given impending crisis: While flour is an excellent ingredient for making homemade craft glue, papier-mâché paste, or sculpting clay, you cannot use flour to manufacture actual, usable toilet paper

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.

Australia gave Israel zero votes at Eurovision and this was brought up at the “antisemitism commission” as an example of anti-semitism. What a joke. Australians don’t have to vote for genocidal maniacs.

Anon Twitter is so fascinating. So many anons claim they’re anonymous to “protect their views.” But their views are impossible to take seriously because they’re not just anonymous, they’re @horseguy69 or @badbiiiitch420. Really, they’re just angrily shouting.

Outrageous

The internet used to be full of websites; there were millions of them and you could browse for hours and come away smarter rather than dumber. Now there are four sites and they've made half the population illiterate. We've destroyed a wonderful thing, and it has destroyed us.

BREAKING: Israel just dropped bombs on the Qaraoun Dam in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley — a key water reservoir serving civilian populations across surrounding villages. This is not a battlefield target. It is a critical water infrastructure. This is an act of genocide.

Here's a quote from 2014 from a member of the IDF's tech/intelligence Unit 8200 regarding its targeting of queer Palestinians

A good rule for Twitter health: If you use your real name, And your real face, On your Twitter? Never, ever engage with someone who doesn't use their own name face on their Twitter.

The irony of replying to someone you disagree with on social media: You’re going to see 10x more content from that person because you’ve now told the algorithm you engage with their content. Disagree wisely.

We're mad because the movie version of THE ODYSSEY which we haven't seen, doesn't match the vision of the book we never read.

Hilarious legends.
