gaza has just been completely cut off from the world.

after increased intensity of israeli aistrikes tonight, the last cable providing communications was destroyed. telecommunications have been completely cut off. they cannot reach one another. they cannot reach paramedics. the red crescent society has completely lost contact with their branch in gaza. nobody inside can reach anyone inside, and especially not outside of gaza to tell us what is going on. this is a complete atrocity.

al jazeera has managed to maintain infrequent communication with their journalists in gaza. from their reporter wael dahdouh: “we are not fine. body parts are everywhere, missiles are targeting everyone, and the bombing hasn’t stopped for a second.”

do not stop talking about gaza. they are trying to commit genocide in the dark. do not stop talking.

The Suspended Mourning (updated links)

In remembrance of Chile’s 9/11 (1973), when a US-backed coup overthrew our democratically elected socialist president and installed a fascist military dictatorship in his place, that tortured and disappeared thousands, I decided to upload here all the episodes of The Suspended Mourning subtitled in English.

It’s a series of short films (longest being 5 minutes and a half, with intro and outro included) depicting the stories of real disappeared detainees and their loved ones who survived them.

The subject matter is gruesome, but they portrayed everything as tastefully as humanly possible without downplaying the horrors involved, and managed to somehow make beauty out of all the pain that the dictatorship caused. It has gorgeous original music and cinematography, fantastic acting, and chilling, emotionally deep writing.

Be warned that despite the series being tasteful in how they handle these subjects, the episodes still portray or allude to torture and police/state brutality. There’s a few scenes with a bit of blood in them, multiple scenes involving violence, and there’s very lightly implied rape in episode 6.

Here’s all the episodes:

1. Alfredo García
2. Antonio Llidó
3. Julio Vega
4. Rodolfo González
5. Sergio and Carlos Jacinto D'Apollonio
6. Alfonso Chanfreau
7. Álvaro Barrios
8. Reinalda Pereira
9. Alan Bruce
10. Jorge D'Orival
11. David Silberman
12. Claudio Thauby
13. Gonzalo Toro Garland
14. Diana Arón
15. Cecilia Bojanic
16. Ana González

“As part of his sentence, Chauvin was banned from owning firearms. But he didn’t shoot George Floyd. If the court really wanted justice they should have chopped off his fucking knees.”

Yes, such a claim makes him look like a small-minded piece of shit. To us. But we still shouldn’t help Musk create revisionist history.

Musk bought Twitter because he fucked around and found out. He wanted to fuck with Twitter’s stock price by feigning interest in buying it. Since that’s illegal, he was then cornered into actually buying it for an insanely inflated price.

He’s a transphobe. He’s a bad father. But he’s also a fucking idiot.

This. Please remember that he committed blatant market manipulation by not disclosing that he owned shares of Twitter when he was fucking with the stock market. The SEC was watching him very closely already, and so when the cost became more than what the entire company was worth, he had no choice. Remember when he had his gaggle of lawyers try to get him out of it by saying Twitter didn’t disclose all of the information? That wasn’t Twitter, it was him trying desperately to get out of a purchase he didn’t want in the first place.

We need to normalize murdering rich people again

In case you aren’t familiar, Michael Scott Moore and David Rohde are both journalists. Moore was held by Somali pirates for 977 days. Rohde was held captive by the Taliban for 7 months after being abducted in Afghanistan.
