Great to see that politicians who have openly opposed genocide funded and armed by the US, have been re-elected in the US. Supporting an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel is politically favourable.

The museums that hold Nepal's gods and goddesses as 'art' use 'tactics of delay' to try and wear down restitution activists. The latest in a BBC series on loot of our heritage by Sanjaya Dhakal @sandhakal.

British television shows me I am not alone in my fantasy of triumphantly solving a logic puzzle before a rapt audience.
Great review - struck by this quote from the book: “How would ideas endure without anyone to examine, share, and transmit them?”
Not even hiding the fact that they see women as consumer producers.
In the new @bookforum, I wrote about pro-natalism, the liberals who love it, and the rise of the childless woman as a symbol of decadence & object of contempt that stands in for a meaningful reckoning with motherhood's contradictions. bookforum.com/print/3102/bab…

The reason the headline sounds like a plot of a film is because it's a fictional headline
The archaeologists targeted the region for intensive lidar survey and located a site. That's not an accident, that's standard research. And I'd bet locals knew about it too

Yesterday we launched the largest cultural boycott of complicit Israeli institutions in history. Sign, but also consider organising with us! 💖
BREAKING: More than 1,000 authors launch a boycott of Israeli publishers complicit in the dispossession of the Palestinian people. Read, sign and share: lithub.com/hundreds-of-autho…
ALT Black text on white background reads, Refusing Complicity in Israel's Literary Institutions. Below the text are the logos of six Palestinian solidarity groups: Books Workers For A Free Palestine, Books Against Genocide, Fossil Free Books, Palestine Festival Of Literature, Publishers For Palestine, and Writers Against The War On Gaza

Many of us focus on Palestinian children—and to a lesser extent Palestinian women—but Palestinian men have been dehumanised like no other group in Palestine. They have been killed, detained, tortured, raped, and treated like terrorists. It's beyond horrifying.

Every journalist should indeed condemn this, especially those of us whose government is arming and backing this.
After killing over 175 journalists in Gaza, Israel is now threatening and smearing 6 Al Jazeera journalists covering the carnage in northern Gaza. As @jeremyscahill says, every journalist should condemn these horrific attacks and call for their protection. Enough.

Heroic figures who’ve spent a year digging people out from under the rubble now being targeted and most likely dragged to torture chambers
Urgent: Civil Defense in Gaza:
- We have completely stopped our operations in North Gaza , and the situation there has become catastrophic, with citizens left without humanitarian services.
- Israeli occupation forces present in the Sheikh Zayed area have arrested 5 of our personnel and taken them to an unknown location.
- Israeli tanks targeted the only fire truck in the northern sector with shells and set it on fire.
- Three of our personnel who were targeted by an Israeli drone in the Beit Lahiya project have lost communication, and their fate is unknown.

These are the innocent souls who have survived over a year of endless bombardment, destruction and annihilation of their people, culture, homes, families and culture. They are now left to starve. While the world watches. The world has never had access to so much information. So much evidence. And done so little.
