I wrote this about Palestine, Germany, Israel, genocide, Uganda, and the recent fallout from the Robert Kraft/Ed Sheeran/Macklemore affair. If of interest, please share. www.musaokwonga.com/takes/genoci...

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians.

My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:
I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

If you or someone in your house is not trans, the only thing you should ever think about trans kids is “How might I brighten their day should I come across one?” Beyond that, you’re a fucking weirdo who is extremely useful to nazis.
It’s really important to install an entire federal discrimination system so somebody’s cis daughter can finish 14th at her swim meet.

This is exactly the outcome that the “gender-critical” movement, which is directing the EHRC, wanted. A situation in which trans people cannot exist in the workplace - or anywhere else in public - at all.
A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.

Oh god he's exactly as much of a boring bastard as I imagined. Common sense! It's fucking common sense! Everything's actually fantastically simple and people just need to use common sense!
And what you really think is the most hackneyed bunch of Westminster talking points imaginable

"We just don't have British resident donors that would support us ... That's the grim reality".

"The Electoral Commission...are completely useless. They're just so dumb & ineffective".

I think the Simpsons is like Shakespeare. There are lots of famous lines you could quote, but even more than that there are loads of words or phrases that have slipped into everyday language, without us consciously remembering where they’re from.

The 5 Simpsons lines I've uttered most off the top of my head:

5) It's a perfectly cromulent word.

4) Let that be a lesson to you: Kids never learn.

3) [after contributing nothing] Looks like my work here is done!

2) I just think they're neat

1) It's all coming up Milhouse!
The five Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most:

5) Milhouse: My Dad’s a pretty big wheel down at the cracker victory

4) McBain: Ice To See You

3) You Don’t Get Friends with Salad

2) Homer: And who can forget rat boy?

1) Comic Book Guy: “Is there a word in Klingon for lonliness? Oh yes. ‘Aag-plach!’”

I bought some Apple Airpod Pro 3's last month, they were eye-wateringly expensive but it turns out they're absolutely fantastic.

I am slightly annoyed they were worth the extra cash? I think I hoped there was some kind of cheat code to getting a great bit of kit for hardly any money. There isn't

Love the fact the ten o clock news is being delayed for a not especially important Wimbledon match between two non-British people. Something nice about, as a nation, just sort of collectively going "Nah this is good real life can wait"
