the australian news landscape, the home ground of the murdoch family, has just been depressing to read all this week. I normally read it as a bit of a breather from US chaos but watching mainstream news all repeat views stating that justifiable criticism of israel is anti-semitism is wild to me
This is, of course, racist nonsense. But I want to focus on one thing:

it is not vilifying to call a genocide a genocide.

Saying, for instance, that Netanyahu is a corrupt war criminal, isn't vilifying him. It's stating a fact.

You can't vilify a villain.
This is revolting, racist nonsense and it’s being mainlined everywhere right now. No criticism of Israel is allowed, ever. They can starve as many babies to death as they like, they can mass murder hundreds of thousands and it's fine because they're Jewish.

French colleague: it's good to see Sarkozy going to jail but it's also sad that we elected him in the first place
me: At least he went to jail. Could say that's sort of a possible sign of a healthy democracy

With all the chaos in the world it's kind of nice watching the conservative party in Australia implode itself yet again, over infighting about whether to abandon the net zero target

Have been permabanned from twitter for posting a story about someone being bitten by a snake in Australia, apparently that was considered an inauthentic behaviour wahaha. The email noted that only by buying Premium subscription would i not be auto suspended. I guess it's good for weaning me off

“After Mahmoud Khalil was abducted by ICE agents in front of his university apartment in NYC, I locked myself inside my home for a month… my lawyers gently but unequivocally told me that the question had likely become no longer if I would be arrested but when.”

So, Abdelrahman ElGendy fled the US.

Center-left party in Australia crushed the right wing party yesterday at the polls. Had my doubts, glad I was wrong. Voters rejected the Liberal party, which was moving towards trumpy policies (its leader, an ex policeman Dutton, is often referred to as "Temu Trump"). Great weekend

rushed russ to the vet this morning as he hadn't peed properly in 24 hours, which can be p dangerous for an elderly male cat. his pee test initially normal, has been sent for further analysis, but he doesn't have other symptoms so the vet was puzzled

Every so often I'm reminded that during high school I was a fan of the then-blogger/columnist Andrew Sullivan, lol. His writing used to be thoughtful and funny. He was one of the reasons I even got interested in reading about global news, growing up with state-owned media. Now, sigh
