new year, new reading thread: 2025 books 📚 bad kids by zijin chen. twisty and dark chinese suspense novel about a group of middle-school age kids who inadvertently film a murder and decide (for various reasons of their own) to blackmail the murderer
it’s because they higher ups have gotten word that it’s going to be even fucking worse very soon and they know once more people understand the gravity of the situation, it will be impossible for them to ever claim the moral high ground ever again
Actually why is the dam breaking on Gaza so suddenly. This has been going on for nearly two years now.
Nobody could have predicted this
A man took a knife to an Islamic youth centre in Melbourne on Monday and Albo and his army of envoys have said exactly shit all
Greater than ~40% of deaths by starvation in Gaza from 10/7 onwards occurred in the last 3 days. Deeply horrifying.
The result: starvation deaths that had previously been one-off cases are now emerging in growing clusters. 43 starvation deaths (at least) in the last three days, compared to 68 recorded over the course of the war. Both figures are likely undercounts, but the trend here is key.

I just think if people are being deliberately starved and you lie and say it’s not happening you should swing.
the pedro pascal smear campaign is like the most obviously astroturfed(terfed?) nonsense i have ever seen lol
Israel: We are banning UNRWA, expelling UN officials, restricting UN staff travel, killing more than 200 UN staff, ordering the evacuation of UN HQ in Deir-al-Bala, firing at UN trucks Also Israel: Why is the UN starving Gaza? NYT: This shows how complex a dilemma it is
The last time the WFP tried to deliver aid, on July 20, the IDF opened fire on aid seekers who swarmed the trucks, killing many. On July 21, they paused deliveries so as not to get more people killed by the IDF. We all watched Israel lead a global campaign to shut down UNRWA…
picky Nazca Kid refuses to eat anything that isn't put inside the mice bowl
I like to imagine there was a Nazca child who would refuse to eat their mashed cassava unless it was served in the mice bowl
♥️Incredible news! We posted about Osama Al-Raqab multiple times in the past few months and he was evacuated from Gaza on June 10, 2025, after months of starvation left him severely malnourished and weighing just 9 kilograms. At the time, he was clinging to life at Nasser…
The child Osama Al-Raqab, 5 years old, suffers from malabsorption and malnutrition due to an undiagnosed medical condition. He requires a high-protein diet to survive, but since Israel sealed all Gaza crossings on March 2nd, he has been unable to access the specialized food and…
The issue with true crime applies only to getting a thrill from “morbid crime”, but there is another distinct category: “cool crime”, which is perfectly fine to enjoy hearing about
If I was premier I’d bankrupt the state trying to massively expand the zoo
It started with them denying they'd ever bomb schools or hospitals. Now they've obliterated every single structure - thousands of war crimes.
There are thousands of pictures like this. But you consciously chose self-censorship. And now you and your rag of a newspaper want to centre Gaza when you deem it convenient and ‘acceptable’. You and the entire Guardian editorial team have Palestinian blood on your hands.

Ranking podcasts reminds me of when men assign a number to a woman's looks... something I hoped we left behind
