You don’t get to bankroll a genocide…

Embolden and cheer on the perpetrators

…and then call yourself a hero for pulling the plug.

Seeing as Winston Peters is seeking a 10 year sentence for a person that broke his windows I am looking forward to him calling for life imprisonment for the death threats sent to Benjamin Doyle.

19-year-old charged after sending death threats to Green MP who since resigned

Detective Inspector Warren Olsson said the nature and volume of the threats met the threshold for investigation and subsequent prosecution.

"A video from the massacre a few minutes ago in al-Sabra neighborhood in #Gaza City.

A multi-floor house was bombed while families were inside, thinking it was safe after the ceasefire was announced...

...40 people are trapped beneath the rubble.

Matthew Whitaker, US Permanent Representative to NATO:

If you had a snail start from the border of Russia and Ukraine and continue for the last three and a half years, it would now be in Poland and they [the Russian army] are not even 20% into the country.

Let me guess, everything Chorus has installed is included in the sale?

So it would be yet another piece of our country's infrastructure being maintained by a private company?

Sure glad those landlords got a tax cut though. Can people cross the Cook Straight yet?

As someone who worked at Telecom and knew how much they fought to retain control of the local loop even though it was completely anti-competitive and maintained a monopoly - the idea of privatising our fibre network is so unfathomably stupid and will result in poorer services for everyone.

If you haven't got anything STERILE to clean and dress the wound then just close and cover with a bandage or CLEAN t-shirt.

“The alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.”

An outpouring of joy fills Gaza’s streets after the announcement of a ceasefire. Yet, Israeli bombardment continues, and many fear that Israel will now shift its assault toward the West Bank before resuming its genocidal campaign.

As someone who works with satellite and 3D imagery, this project reinforced how crucial it is to question what’s rendered as truth.

Keep an eye out for some follow ups in different mediums looking ahead

The TikTok outlines that a specific goal of these animations is to multiply their reach by cultivating secondary coverage

And indeed, dozens of major outlets like BBC, CNN and Sky News have aired them, in part or in full, often without context

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all.

Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.
