At the heart of the report is a devastating charge: Israeli prisons &detention centers have been systematically transformed into a network of torture camps...these spaces are characterized by sustained physical &psychological abuse,extreme overcrowding, deliberate starvation,denial of medical care & humiliation of inmates.W/in this system, incarcerated men,women, &children experience violence t crosses the boundary into #torture as defined by int'l law.

Living Hell: Israel’s Prison System as an Instrument of Oppression

In January 2026, the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem published a grim update to its earlier work, titled Living Hell: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps. This report documents the horrific conditions faced by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and detention facilities, revealing structural brutality that must be understood not as isolated injustice but as part of a broader system of violence and exclusion directed against the Palestinian people.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now passed the 24-hour mark with national connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels.

The measure limits civic engagement at a key moment for the country's future after the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei in US and Israeli airstrikes.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls. But since she asked, "Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States." www.militaryonesource.mil/education-em...

blockchain failed to make the right promise, which was telling rich guys they could fire everyone

if they'd offered that it would have been hyped like AI is

structurally the blockchain hype and the AI hype are The Fucking Same

even before you get to it being Literally The Same Fucking Guys

blockchain's promise is obscure and you basically have to be most of an ancap to fall for it

AI, you just need to be one-shotted by the bot giving an amazing result once

blockchain is fuckin unusable for normal people. AI is fatally usable.

This isn’t just “owning the libs” — this is the highest office in the nation using technology to lie to the entire world. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/beware-government-using-image-manipulation-propaganda

Beware: Government Using Image Manipulation for Propaganda

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last week posted a photo of the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong, one of three activists who had entered a St. Paul, Minn. church to confront a pastor who also serves as acting field director of the St Paul Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office...

You could house everyone in need of a home with the money being given to ICE. A society that chooses the latter over the former is truly evil and there's no way to spin that.
