More photos from last week's olive harvest on the West Bank. New protective presence groups are out there this week - harassment and intimidation from settlers, military and police is continuing

Yup, this is why it matters beyond Ukraine.

Voters making a choice is kinda the whole point of elections

This idiot spent some time this afternoon attempting to bite the wind

LOL, guess that's me told!

More pictures from the olive harvest last week

One thing I hadn't heard of before I prepared for on my trip to the West Bank was the 'Hilltop Youth' - basically imagine if the government took troubled boys in care and incarceration & promised them housing & adulation if they attacked immigrants? theconversation.com/with-israel-...

So I'm back from the West Bank olive harvest. What can I say but I got my moneysworth - 9-hour detention by Israeli police, roadblocked by Settlers but most importantly, olives, so many olives harvested for people who desperately needed them

An Orthodox Church rings a funeral toll as a muezzin calls for afternoon prayer in the West Bank (sound on!)

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

Friends, Sad news! Our dear friend #MajorJasonWatson will face a historic general court-martial, the military's most severe trial! He remains in pretrial confinement. His attorney told @cnn.com the conditions amount to "cruel and unusual" solitary confinement. Want to help? Keep posting about him!

Basically right now I think the UK should rejoin the EU and we should all go full-on wealth redistribution, no-AI, renewable energy solarpunk and laugh as the US fries itself into oblivion. With apologies to the many millions of decent Americans. Sorry.

I'm in that state of 'Am I slowly starting a really bad cold, or am I just having a mild cold?'

But using people's preferred name and pronouns is 'being bullied into not accepting reality'

What is wrong with kids today that they don't like pickled onion Monster Munch?

Basically all of this

you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires

Part of me wonders whether he might truly believe the polls are all fake

Activists have launched a 'defendants union', likely the 1st project of its kind in the modern history of US political protest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... @dnbrgr.bsky.social @willpotter.bsky.social @prisonculture.bsky.social @sdonziger.bsky.social

I don't know if today's University of London Coalition march is 'celebrating' October 7th. But if it's not they would have done better not to have it today. However you feel about 'Zionism' people should be given the space to mourn the attack.

I feel museums have a real opening now for big campaigns about 'COME AND GIVE YOUR BRAINS RELAXING STIMULATION BY LOOKING AT LOTS OF THINGS THAT ARE REAL AND WELL RESEARCHED'

Surely if you didn't want voters to turn up you'd tell them their side was due a landslide victory? www.wired.com/story/electi...

Ahh, unlucky mate. Turns out trans healthcare is still the scientifically and morally correct thing to do. I assume you'll be apologising now? Not sure why you thought the last 5 years would be different to the nearly 100 before that but ok

You’ve earned our ire. There’s a shift happening, & we’re about to demonstrate just how fucking pissed, tired, shattered, & betrayed we are; all the fuck over again. This burden is yours to carry now, men. The coddling, the excusing, & entitlement are over. May you wear it like an albatross #Pinks

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

I hate the way antisemitism is often weaponised against the Left but I'm afraid what the Greens have done entirely justifies the criticism. Even every other non-Zionist Jew l know decries this stupid & bigoted motion.

this is my favorite genre of social media post and I am soliciting links or screenshots to your favorites

Yes, exactly this. And also I don't feel it's exactly fair to call Maureen from Borehamwood an 'ethnonationalist babykiller' because she hasn't read Edward Said. I appreciate racism does not have to be deliberate to be bad, but it's so much more complicated & interwoven than that.

I remember saying in November 2023 that I wished people would say pro/anti-Israel rather than Zionist/anti-Zionist etc. I see that every concern I had about those linguistic choices have proved out, and I'm furious with everyone.

beep-BOOP! and Cthulhu are brothers and twins

This is something a lot of non-Jews don't understand. You don't generally get to choose a Non-Zionist shul. You might as a Jew find other communities for non/anti Zionism, but if going to shul is something you want to do, your options are generally Zionist shul or no shul community.

I love the quote 'It's easy to see things as a conspiracy when you don't understand how anything works'. It got me thinking how AI fakes just add to a shallowness of understanding about the world as people accept things which would make no sense if they gave it even a moment's reflection

I feel I have to share this fabulous angel from a medieval apocalypse triptych at the Victoria & Albert Museum, who is absolutely *serving*
