NEW: I wrote about going to interview the man who hid/saved my grandfather from the nazis, a decade of war reporting, why some people risk their lives to save strangers while others kill their neighbors, and being the grandchild of 4 Holocaust survivors:
The Iraqi guy i follow on IG who does funny nature videos in broken English just posted a more compassionate and well written statement then like 90% of activists and journalists I’ve seen.
Juul really got screwed. Remember when the federal government was like “you have to stop selling mango flavor because of children.” And then like a year later elfbar was selling Cotton Candy Razmatazz Berry flavor and just dominating the market
Elon’s trajectory is so wild, man. What a lesson for loud nerds everywhere. 3 years ago he’s a highly revered Tony Stark figure. Can have anything he wants. Decides he wants to enter the culture war. Now he’s a Nazi sympathizing, war crime enabling least funny pick me dork who…
I understand why people on the west coast are upset that the smoke affecting NYC is a bigger story than the west coast wildfire smoke but they need to realize the lives of people in nyc and the northeast in general are much more valuable than those of people on the west coast
A "relatively rare" sighting was discovered this week: A massive stingray nearly the length of Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Taylor Swift's rumored beau.
Family of released Israeli hostages say they have no idea who Shaun King is despite him claiming to know them and being involved in negotiating their release.

The same people who want to convince you Ukraine is a country full of Nazis are now looking at the photo of the Texas shooter with a swastika tattoo and Hitler praise in his profiles like “well hold on a second here, let’s not jump to conclusions.”

🚨BREAKING: Reports of Wagner forces have ENTERED MOSCOW OBLAST, being 2 hours away from Moscow City.

honestly i'd be okay with elementary schools handing out fentanyl if it saved me from having to interact with annoying people on twitter. that's my takeaway
Amazing to see people talk about Ukraine “escalating” the conflict while Russia has been blowing up residential apartment buildings in cities across the country for over a year.
amazing how the tech billionaires and podcast multi-millionaires have convinced blue check dolts this guy is the enemy. Have you ever looked up what he does?!? His career has been spent curing people in poor countries of parasites and treating children with infectious diseases.
Lol imagine using Clare Daly, a vocal Assad supporter who visited Syria after the Assad regime slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Syrians, as a moral paragon to attack Joe Biden as a butcher. Pathetic, even for Grim.
European Parliament member from Ireland disowns Biden: “Take note butcher Biden: The ancestors of the Ireland that you claim to be from disown you. Keep our country out of your mouth.”
Whatever you feel about Jews as a race/ethnicity/religion It’s been fascinating to watch people on this site cast Oppenheimer as some imperialist privileged white male as his people were being systematically murdered in Europe and banned from fleeing to countries the world over
This is the twitter employee Elon Musk is trying to publicly shame today, Iceland's person of the year who was born with muscular dystrophy into a working class home and built a tech company, sold it to twitter and then paid the full tax rate:
Have spoken to a number of serious Russia analysts over the last few hours and the consensus seems to be that whatever is happening, it is most likely hilarious
God people are stupid. If the frontline was in NYC do you think people in Richmond Virginia would be staying in bunkers the entire time? The frontline is like a 13 hour drive from Kyiv. Don’t be a moron
The thing about these idiots is they can’t ever admit that they’re wrong, so they have to keep doubling down on being stupid and they have a lot of yes men, so it actually is important for everyone to continuously remind them that they’re incredibly stupid.
Objectively, & I haven’t picked a candidate (& didn’t donate to anyone), ethnic bio weapons have been a widespread concern for two decades
this discussion doesn’t fall into the “conspiracy theory” framing… it’s more science fiction become reality sadly

High School lunch. Rome, Italy. 98% are local homemade with locally grown and produced ingredients. There are no school board contracts sent to the lowest bidder with association to a fast food and or soda company.
Americans can’t help but have this stupid take because everything is Iraq/Afghanistan and 9/11 to them, and Israelis will now rally around Bibi like Americans did George Bush
Except Israel isn’t actually America, and Israelis are absolutely furious at Netanyahu and everyone in…
In all my years I’ve covering conflict I’ve never seen journalists completely fail like they have been. I’m not sure why anyone would put any trust in the media after this.

They literally fought the British for 3 year to prevent Jews from immigrating there and the Brits then restricted immigration *DURING* the Holocaust to appease the Arab population of mandatory Palestine. What purpose does it serve to lie about something obvious like this?
When the USA turned away Jewish refugees during the Holocaust…it was the Palestinians that accepted them. When Europe was helping Hitler to achieve the final solutions, many Palestinians were shielded their Jewish neighbours. So why is them that must pay for the West’s crimes?
The cool thing about right-wing politics is that a politician like Netanyahu can probably turn the failure of his security policies into partisan advantage.
Man got roasted so incredibly hard by an autistic teenager he picked a fight with that it went massively viral and reminded the Romanian police to follow up on their investigation. Top tier L in 2022 and couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy
Cowardly, shameful leadership
@UCSF
defending Zionism & white supremacy and attacking faculty of color. This statement is outrageous and unacceptable. Many BIPOC health equity docs & scholars (including myself) have experienced this same violence and left for that same reason.
Keep seeing takes like this and I still ask myself, do they actually believe this? Or are they just trying to convince young/stupid people? Would love to sit down with a person like this and try to get to the bottom of it. Fascinating, in a Charles Manson sort of way
Don’t you have any shame? There are photos and videos. There are countless testimonies of survivors. You’re cherry picking from 4 released hostages who still have family members being held. Utterly disgusted by people.
But everyone is freaking out because the consistent message from released hostages is that captivity was very different from the ISIS narrative they keep pushing and promoting with cartoon props. This is undoing all the hard work of the Public Relations/prop production team.
Taibbi is claiming his twitter files were removed 😂. Really hard to pick whether Taibbi or Musk comes out looking worse in all this but the good news is the whole thing is hilarious
Susan Sarandon should actually have been dropped years ago for all the stupid bullshit she’s spouted about Syrians and Ukrainians, but giving a speech where you’re happy about American Jews feeling threatened when your company has Jewish executives is top tier level stupid.
@TRHLofficial
Didn’t the story come from
@bellingcat
, which literally specializes in psychological operations?
I don’t want to hurt their feelings, but this is either the weirdest story ever or a very bad psyop!
French media cited a European source saying there are approximately 10-50 deaths from the errant rocket blast in the hospital parking lot, not the 471 claimed by Hamas.
#GazaHospital
. Alors que le
#Hamas
a évoqué la mort de 471 personnes dans une frappe sur un hôpital, une source européenne évoque « entre 10 et 50 » morts.
The responses to this are incredible because it’s half people mad that they’ve been saying this for years/already knew and half people defending musk. I muted it like 7 hours ago but just a reminder for how we do things around here.
If it wasn’t obvious before, Bibi will go down as the worst prime minister Israel has ever had. The amount of damage he’s done the last two decades is unprecedented.
@elonmusk
No where in the material you’ve quoted does it say that they asked for the list of 250k to be suspended. It actually says the opposite, that no action is requested. Are you deliberately lying or did you not actually read the material?
The majority of Israeli Jews are not of European heritage. Some of the most virulent right wing hardliners are what Americans would consider brown people. Israel also airlifted thousands of Africans into the country. There’s certainly racism in Israel, but Americans really need…
It’s been over a year of unmitigated objective failures from the Russian war effort yet every time something new breaks through the news cycle a bunch of weak-kneed dorks start doing a “you wouldn’t like Putin when he’s angry” while barely concealing their hard-on’s.
I can't say I ever cared way too much for American partisan catfight, but its still insane that Cucker here just lies by quoting absolutely clearly photoshopped version of this original page. Its impossible his team isn't aware its a shop, he just doesn't care.
The
@nytimes
is now just making shit up. This headline reads "Gaza Deaths Surpass Any Arab War Losses in 40 Years."
One whole second of Googling found this: The UN Human Rights Office estimates more than 306,000 civilians were killed over 10 years in Syria conflict (2011-2021).
And yet he still went to Ukraine, to do this again, because that’s the kind of person Pete was. He was a leader, a true hero, funny and charming. One of the best people you could ever meet. There’s no words to describe this loss.
The rumor for years has been that Roger Waters funds the propaganda site GrayZone. Looks like he’s thrown in the towel and is half-assing covering it up
The funniest think about her tik tok politics is that she’s a Maronite with a Lebanese Forces tattoo. She literally has a tattoo of a group that committed countless atrocities against Palestinians.
The lead singer of The Offspring has a PhD in molecular biology and publishes research on HIV while the lead singer of Eve 6 got so brain damaged by social media discourse he posts Qanon level massacre denial theories blaming Jews for killing themselves. Choose wisely in life.
Completely insane how many people in congress get wrong the most absolute basic stuff about extremely important things like declaring war to the point where they’re all being community noted
These airstrikes have NOT been authorized by Congress. The Constitution is clear: Congress has the sole authority to authorize military involvement in overseas conflicts. Every president must first come to Congress and ask for military authorization, regardless of party.
Prediction: a hostage is going to say one halfway decent thing about their treatment and that’s going to be what the media runs with louder than anything else
there's copious amounts of video of hamas deliberately killing civilians. anyone in denial of that, or saying the IDF killed everyone in crossfire or whatever the new excuse is, is lying to you deliberately.
The Zelenksy Test is getting close to eclipsing the Syria Test in terms of telling who is a piece of garbage with nothing but bad opinions. Nearly everyone who loathes him has never done anything brave or of consequence in their entire life.
They’re trying to reverse the narrative, but it was always the tech and Silicon Valley VC’s that bought into FTX 100% while the overwhelming majority of journalists from all beats called it and all of crypto a tulip level Ponzi scheme.
At this point Hamas should just start adding in sections about how they did October 7th to call for universal health care in the US and student loan forgiveness, because the left will literally believe anything they tell them.
If I’m reading this right, Hamas is saying it will cooperate with an ICC investigation into its own 10/7 assault while also pushing for an investigation into allegations against Israel. The international criminal court is the right venue for these charges to be tested.
Probably the wildest thing about this is that people even in NYC think the kidnapped children is just completely made up. Despite the photos, videos, all of it. And that’s in NYC. Think about the rest of the world. Just a real pervasive sickness globally amplified and spread by…
I don’t really understand the mindset of people like this who fantasize daily about the downfall of America while living here, something that will make their lives actively worse. Who dreams and constantly makes stuff up about their own life getting more terrible
The BRICS Alliance have just announced a new gold-backed currency that will be released to destroy the dollar.
They’ve also released the list of countries that have applied to join BRICS, those are:

Incredible stuff here. “Yes, I made a whole thread where one of my main points was Susan Sarandon was unfairly punished for what she said. No, i didn’t actually read what she said before I made the thread.”
He shared a picture of the Kurdish child from Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain), Syria, who was bombed along with others by Turkish airstrikes in 2019. Now, he wants to portray the child as a Palestinian victim and accuses the Israeli aircraft of doing so.
Russia is fighting ISIS in Africa and Syria, and aligning with the Taliban, who ISIS-K is fighting. So many answers are literally a single google search away if you make a 25 second effort.
This guy is the real life Dr House of tropical diseases! His entire career is trying to figure how to find and cure them! And the guys selling you supplements you don’t need and trying to convince you to shoot up research chemicals have convinced you he’s the bad guy
The desperation of leftist westerners to run cover for hamas shouldn’t come as a surprise though the sheer sleaziness of how they’re trying to do it is something else
I’m generally not anti-rich or anti-capitalist. The issue is, Silicon Valley VC’s over the last few years have emerged as among the most toxic and brain-poisoned voices in America and are putting their money into awful things. So it’s actually good they’re losing it.
Watching people delight in the collapse of a bank that’s been vital to the greatest wealth generation engine this country has had for the last 2 decades is really disheartening to see.
I think this is a Twitter problem.I’m gonna be spending less time here.
Lol he deleted his tweet after someone alerted him to the fact that Russian security services filmed themselves cutting off one of the arrested ear’s and forcing him to eat it. What a joke of an expert
Charlie Herbert says Russia are a great example of how to treat prisoners. But they execute Ukrainian POWs and prisoners, such as Navalny.
This expert is so keen to portray Israel as evil that he whitewashes Putin’s crimes and denies reality.
There’s a scene in Fauda where the PA guy takes his jihadi son beachside in Tel Aviv and tells him, “look at what they’ve built. They’re not going anywhere.” There needs to be a Palestinian state immediately, but Israelis aren’t going to be leaving anytime soon.

@Lukewearechange
Elon, as someone who seems very vested in media accuracy, why are you promoting a completely made up report, with zero sources, from an anonymous account that lies nonstop?
holocaust denial with onlyfans audiences is basically where we're at as a society right now. still can't understand how this guy is able to walk around so openly

“They probably haven’t seen the videos of the dead children or the lifeless woman’s body in the back of the pick-up truck.”
They have. They don’t care. This is what they want. Don’t forget who these people are.
This is a glorious thing to wake up to. Staring down the barrel of a fascist government that has put you in a cage for your entire life and is itching for an excuse to kill everyone in it with you, I can’t imagine anything braver
Not sure why I do it cause there’s no point in arguing on twitter. Most Americans are just waiting around for Joe Rogan to have an mma fighter with a 9th grade education on for a 6 hour podcast to explain the Israeli Palestinian conflict to them before making a judgement call.
I’m not saying that Ukrainian military strategy is solely dedicated to making this guy look like an idiot within 24 hours of him posting his “insights” but there have been a *lot* of coincidences

There’s a lot to take in about how modern wars are fought in this paragraph from a WSJ story about the war in Gaza that details how with the 3 man Hamas teams doing guerilla attacks, one militant is tasked solely with making social media videos
If the woman face down in the photo was from *any* other community the photojournalism community would be filled with tweet threads and soul searching essays about parading bodies for the western gaze or some shit like that
On what planet is this acceptable? This photo is named the team photo of the year? This shocking graphic photo of an innocent girl who was brutally murdered and dragged through Gaza by Hamas terrorists? That’s what you consider award worthy?
This is appallingly disrespectful to…
It’s a good example of why this sort of discourse has mostly ran its course on social media and people across the political spectrum have grown tired of it.
Even Hamas leadership is willing to admit they messed up in their October 7th attack and that they took women and children hostages, but you'll still find people on here working overtime to deny this.
Hamas co-founder acknowledges "mistakes" were made in Oct. 7 attacks, says group willing to release women, children and foreigners its holding hostage if Israel agrees to 24-hour pause. My interview with Hassan Yousef, head of Hamas in the West Bank
More and more I think about Begin’s trembling knee quote and what it meant, and more and more I’m convinced that pleading with people who do these sorts of things to recognize your humanity is not going to get you anywhere. Instead put yourself in a position where they don’t…
On the Upper East Side posters of kidnapped children have been defaced with the word “occupier.” This is unacceptable. These are innocent children who need to be brought home and returned to their families. 1/2
Wow 6.5 million listeners and growing fast. Thanks to all the legacy media types and political hacks for flipping out that the Space started 15 minutes late. It was perfect once it got going, and now you’re just making it bigger!
“We’re not antisemitic! We just don’t think Jews have cuisine or culture. Certainly none of them ever had to flee Arab lands bringing delicious hummus recipes along. Anyway, let’s harass some restaurant workers, this will be super helpful to civilians in Gaza.”
Terrible headline, terrible framing. It was not an “anti Israel message.” It was a pro massacre message. There’s an incredibly big difference between being anti Israel and condoning a massacre. This isn’t hard
His big mistake was posting the threats on his university message board instead of on regular social media, where he could have gotten a whole bunch of likes and shares and probably made drinking money for the weekend.
A Cornell University student was charged with making threats against Jewish students on the campus, according to federal charges filed by the Justice Department.
Mosul was chaos near the front when it kicked off. Too dangerous for medical NGO’s up front. So Pete went in further and set up a triage clinic in a dusty lot. Just stretchers and medical supplies. And he went to work saving lives.
