I remember when β€˜Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the β€˜war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

Israel launches huge strikes against south Beirut after mass evacuation order Residents fled Lebanese capital in panic before assaults on claimed Hezbollah targets while Tehran continues to launch retaliatory attacks

Forcing half a million people to leave their homes and then destroying their homes is ethnic cleansing.

I’m not exaggerating when I say this: This leadership is making Caligula look competent.

Caligula. The guy whose name is famous as being β€œthat really crazy guy that nearly ruined Rome”

Caligula. The guy that planned an invasion of Britain then told his soldiers to collect seashells instead.

The US sank an Iranian warship and didn’t rescue the survivors. Is this legal in war?

These rules have developed over centuries as states sought to regulate the conduct of conflict at sea while still allowing navies to operate effectively.

As violence spreads across the Middle East now more then ever we need our Government to be a force for peace. That starts with withdrawing support for US-backed forever wars.

As ICE Moved In, Minnesotans Set Up a Shadow Medical System. It’s a Lesson for Other Cities. - KFF Health News President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis forced families into hiding and catalyzed informal medical networks to deliver critical health care services.

Thousands of Minnesotans are still too scared to leave home, even for desperately needed medical care. So doctors and nurses have quietly operated informal, underground medical networks to bring that care to them.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

like killing girls, bombing hospitals is evidence of genocidal intent. Obviously we already have political statements for evidence, corroborating evidence, cumulative evidence etc etc that these atrocities are deliberate, and genocidal.

Sadly the Harmful Algal Bloom off South Australia may have had a little boost with the recent rain and heat. Satellite images from 5 March. The red areas indicate Chlorophyll A which is what the algae produce, and the second image is the real colour you can see from space
