- To all football fans who said sports and politics shouldn't be mixed when we asked you to stand up for Gaza, the guy who received your inaugural FIFA peace price deposed the elected president of Venezuela and declared himself its governor. Your spinelessness will never be forgotten.
- You have to be really stupid to think that the protests in Iran are not related to US fossil fuel colonialism that’s directly targeting Venezuela. Like, really really stupid.

- Winter stuff.
- So, who killed the Libyan Army Chief of Staff? Not China, not Iran, not Russia, not Turkey, not Syria, not Iraq, not Brazil, not UK, not Canada… hmm 🧐 He was in Turkey discussing Mediterranean security. He wasn’t selling other peoples oil like some people recently did to Egypt.
- He bankrupted the government and the White House so he has to move on.

- More bad news.
- Every #AI investment in every country is a disguised WATER theft. Tech giants are seizing the world’s water while telling us it is about AI. Each investment will lead to prioritization of corporate access to water for datastorage and starve those who need it to simply survive.

- If you are a motivational influencer guiding people to produce goods for a capitalist system without giving any insights about how abusive and unhealthy the system itself is, then you are just a cog in the machine.

- Trump shrugged off the murder of a @washingtonpost.com journalist the same day he called a @bloomberg.com journalist “piggy”.
- Every time a scholar opens a paragraph with the sentence "There are three reasons for this..." the same thing happens: the first reason is brief and clear, the second reason is lost in tangents, convoluted and ends the paragraph; the third reason is somewhere below and good luck finding it.
- Reposted by Murat Cem MengüçAfter a full year of work, this book is out! Cooking in Maximum Security, compiled by Matteo Guidi, is our latest Half Letter Press book and it's beautiful. How do people in Italian prisons cook? This book will show you their recipes and tools used to make them. halfletterpress.com/cooking-in-m...
- Why doesn't #BBC release a documentary about the environmental impact of the war in Gaza, instead of the one focusing Hitler's DNA? Sweet timing... Is there one on the pipe-line about Casanova's love affair with his daughter to coincide with the release of Epstein files and the Trumporama?

- Reposted by Murat Cem MengüçTo recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

- This is going to happen a lot. “The recent introduction of generative AI means that we no longer have any control over how big tech companies are using our information... The big tech companies are the ones gaining from all the hours of work we have put into making and running our website, not us.

- I find the upsurge in NYTimes subscriptions story very very plausible. This in a year the newspaper was criticized and boycotted more than ever. Most competitive offer costs $51 a year for subscription. Or $1 a week. It’s a pocket change for wealthy donors who would like to keep it going.
