People are talking about leaving Spotify because the CEO is a douchebag, so let me remind you that you can stream radio stations from all over the world for free with Radio-Map. It's been my primary source of music the past few weeks. I'm a little biased because I built it, but I've never invested in a company that's building dystopian killing machines, so you can stream guilt-free.

Photo of the Day.

Israel threatened reprisals if the press filmed Gaza from above during airdrops.

This is why. A scene of destroyed & burnt out buildings in what is left of Gaza City, the pre-war home to 800,000 people.

BREAKING - B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel call Israel's actions in Gaza genocide

Given how important Israeli voices are in this context for obvious reasons: we now have Israel's two leading human rights NGOs in addition to many of its leading Holocaust and Genocide scholars calling the IDF's actions in Gaza a genocide.

Stop it. Stop trying to visit America. I am an American living in one of the most virulent MAGA states, and I am begging you to cancel any and all plans to visit the US. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING in this country worth your safety or your life. This is not the America you remember. It is a Nazi zombie running on hate and cruelty and you are risking your life to give it even more money.

Swiss woman is denied entry at the US border and detained

«You have no right to be here.» A teacher wanted to celebrate her birthday in New York. Instead, she was jailed in New Jersey before being deported. A lawyer warns that something similar could happen to almost anyone.

Why Led By Donkeys Targeted Elon Musk with projection on Tesla Factory in Berlin

A provocative projection on Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory depicted Elon Musk performing a Nazi-style salute, accompanied by the text “H*IL TESLA” in Tesla’s iconic font. This striking act was orchestrated by the British activist art collective Led By Donkeys, known for their sharp political art and Zentrum für Politische Schönheit. The projection targeted Musk’s controversial gesture during Donald Trump’s inauguration, which has been widely criticized for evoking fascist imagery. […]

A 🧵 for the hot topic of factors involved in #gender #egalitarianism here. Being friends and pupils of the late, great #JamesWoodburn, we feel his use of 'egalitarian' reflects the dynamic quality of #huntergatherer #gender relations (authors who discuss the issues are mentioned, off the top of my head! I will try to fill in details/sources later)

Woodburn had some brilliant stuff on gender buried in unpublished notes which we are getting some access to. In his classic 1982 article here, he's addressing egalitarianism among men

In the book, Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber gives an interesting explanation of the difference in politics between those on the Left and those on the Right.
