Live Weapons Expo: Israel testing new #AI weapons on Palestinians

In its strikes in Gaza, Israel’s military has relied on an AI-enabled system called the Gospel to help determine targets, which have included schools, aid organization offices, places of worship, and medical facilities.
More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict.

Dorothy Day with her prison dress. In November 1917, Day went to prison for being one of forty women in front of the White House protesting women's exclusion from the electorate. She's one of the reasons why you can #vote and a reminder that voting shouldn't be taken for granted.

The Sami – who have inhabited these harsh northern latitudes since the last ice age and are the only indigenous people in the EU – fear that proposals to build a €2.9bn railway to the EU’s first Arctic port will provide mining and logging companies with the infrastructure they need to venture ever further into the wilder, untouched parts of Lapland.

@Cara We were here first. Europeans migrated from the south.

Everybody comes from Africa.

We came much earlier and mingled with the Northern species of hominid. The Neandertal. Peaceful, large nomads. Exterminated by humans eventually. But we have their DNA. All first nations do.

@MattFerrel Biden bypassed congress to send arms to Israel.

“Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well- warmed, and well-fed.”

― Herman Melville

"Susan Sontag... did get off one sound bite in an interview on television, which was to me a stunning sermon in and of itself. She was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction."

-Kurt Vonnegut

An amazing piece of sculpture by the artist Frances Bruno Catalano, which symbolizes the vacuum created by being forced to leave your land, your life, your people... for any reason.

In England, “booster shot” is spelled “borchestershire shot.”
