  @RadicalAnthro for what it is worth, I introduced Terrace at the Paris EvoLang conference a couple of days after the death of Nim. I expressed my condolences. He was completely indifferent.

  This is really important. By throwing money at just one form of racism, all the other forms are neglected. https://live.thepoint.com.au/2026/10/the-point-live-rba-to-face-estimates-as-new-inflation-data-laid-out-greens-leader-to-front-national-press-club-for-first-time-as-it-happens/?post=aa470ae1fa#aa470ae1fa

  The fact that Palestinian representation in the Knesset would give either side of the Israeli election a majority but those sides will not join with them is an indication that Israel will never be a democracy until they come to terms with the need to recognise the Palestinians as equal partners. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/27/palestinian-parties-knesset-election-exit-polls-redraw-israel-political-landscape?CMP=GTUK_email

The copyright issues will be enormous, but that is also why they are important.

  @RadicalAnthro it has increased support for Palestine and name recognition. As well as opening people's eyes to the massive domination of our lives by governments influenced by money and ideologies they never approved.

  Wow. That is the big one. I reckon Adelaide Writers' Week is dead now. Thanks to the Zionist lobby. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/13/i-cannot-be-party-to-silencing-writers-which-is-why-i-am-resigning-as-director-of-adelaide-writers-week-ntwnfb?CMP=GTAU_email

  RE: https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei/116179410900136068 So true. He never had any basis for good judgment, but the forces that can blackmail him for his involvement with Epstein are forcing has risk-taking which imperils us all, even outside Washington and Mar a Lago

  RE: https://mstdn.social/@mcnado/116183662826194273 Just repeat that. But with emphasis. "They are NOT sticking to military targets."
