may be beside the point/extremely obvious but i feel like you can only ignore extreme wealth inequality for so long before it metastasizes into something that fundamentally remakes and destabilizes the world by giving people access to so much money that they are fully above consequence
"The Israelis shot and killed an innocent young woman and then caused the death of her unborn baby, too.
Shocking, right? Depraved? Murderous? And yet, as of Monday morning, there was no mention of Sundus Shalabi on...the New York Times or the BBC" - me, for Zeteo:
Hit home today that Elon’s zooming in to a rally of the German hard right to tell them to stop feeling bad about the past and embrace German glory was right before Holocaust Remembrance day.
I thought they closed the Embassy?
Oh wow, who could’ve possibly predicted that mass murdering thousands of women and children would radicalize people
Says a literal Fox host lol.
Can’t beat a bitta nail clipping on the train…. 😂😂😂

Dutch cartoonist @tjeerdroyaards.com made this for the national newspaper @trouw.nl.
In support of @anntelnaes.bsky.social.
And this paper published it.

😁😁😁 Did the short trip on the BE from Tirano to St Moritz a couple of years ago. Beautiful indeed! I’ve vowed to stay over next time in the small hotel/restaurant on the tracks in Alp Grüm - it was spectacular!

The Morning Monty reminds me that it’s time to clean and refill the bird feeders, for his viewing pleasure.
This is so spot-on it’s scary.

Israel nearly killed the head of the World Health Organization.
Has any Western government commented on this yet? Can you imagine their response if it was Iran or Russia?
The European Union decides to ignore and suppress a report commissioned from its own Human Rights expert.

Why paying for a newspaper (or real journalism) is worth every penny. Florida is no longer the Sunshine State. To get a public record, you often have to hire a lawyer.
Hard to keep track of how many countries “the only democracy in the Middle East” is bombing
Soup kitchens should be provided by the state and appropriately safeguarded, but DCC seem to me to be going about this arsebackwards.
Why not in-house and improve the existing services first? Clamping down first and saying "we'll fix it later" doesn't inspire confidence
I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.
Anyone got anything for the paper for the 27th? It's looking a bit empty. Anything you want to get off your chest but you can never get it past the desk? Really, no pitch too wild!
Morning! #coffee
At least 201 journalists have been killed by Israeli military since Oct 7th. Now babies are freezing to death in what are completely avoidable deaths. 50,000 are reported dead. The real toll doesn’t even bear thinking about. Don’t forget about Gaza.
Tentatively. But it might be a trap, Sabrina. Iykyk 😳😇

I’d like to thank every hotel I’ve ever stayed in for the good wishes this season.
Kindred spirit, Sabrina. I had requested a dispensation to stay in the dressing gown for the day (including Christmas dinner time)…. 😇
