1 is 4 is good, given your productivity! Keep on searching, and writing, I’m sure this subjective ratio will get better ( fwiw I think it’s 4/4 but fine, I havent read them all😅)

How is it possible, to awaken today? What threshold was it that made you people start questioning Israel’s right to defend itself? 10,000, or maybe 20,000 children? How many independent commissions reaching the same conclusion? I have a hard time dealing with that sudden change of heart…

David Klion writes in @thenation.com that in light of today's UN report, liberals must atone for their two years of complicity in Israel's genocide www.thenation.com/article/worl...

To Those Who Have Just Awakened to the Horrors in Gaza

Yes, we should welcome the latecomers to the fight against genocide, but there also needs to be accountability.

Cronica de una hambruna anunciada… and relentlessly planned by Israel. Not Netanyahu, one man could not have done that. One Party could not have done that. This is what they managed to do with the support of the majority of the people. Call it as you want. This is inhumane. This is monstruous.

"Two leading human rights organisations based in Israel, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights, say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the country’s western allies have a legal and moral duty to stop it."

On social networks at least, the main counterargument is that we lie/are being lied to: massacres do not happen…

2% of the population murdered. In France this would amount to 1.36 million people, incl. 650000 children.

A coding error happens to the best of us. There was an investigation by the journal and the editor decided the paper was still worth being published. To me, this means the case is closed. I am very sorry about the avalanche of public shaming pouring on @riccardociacci.bsky.social

I conduct research in good faith and I feel obliged to report a harassment, character assassination and stalking campaign that has lasted over a year, of which I have been a target. This campaign has been disproportionate and damaging. 1/N

Olle Folke @ollefolke.bsky.social · May 15

Update: We submitted the comment to the Journal of Population Economics, and today we got a desk reject with this motivation. However, we do not know their conclusion about the main results and why the paper was not retracted. Clearly, they do not hold. 1/4

Same goes for lgbtq+ rights. I really don’t think being a woman, or being queer in gaza, is first order right now, except if you want to make it first order, to hide sth else possibly going on there…starts with a G.

En direct, canicule : 84 départements en vigilance orange, François Bayrou reporte un déplacement pour suivre l’évolution de la situation

Les températures pourront dépasser localement les 40 °C et ne devraient pas baisser avant le milieu de la semaine, selon Météo-France. Le premier ministre suit depuis dimanche « en temps réel la situation météorologique » parce que « la durée, l’extension géographique et l’intensité de cet épisode caniculaire nécessitent une vigilance particulière », a rapporté Matignon.
