Back in 1993 I played a drum solo in the middle of an Alice in Chains concert. And jammed a little with Jerry Cantrell. And it made me a little more "Tucson famous."

It all began when some kid threw a shoe at Lane Staley while he was singing. I wrote an article with the story of how it happened because sometimes people ask and it’s fun to tell.

Ha, I was at that show! The AIC set devolved pretty quickly from what I recall in my addled state. I assumed they didn't like the venue or the sound and just let their roadies fumble through the songs.

@hinayana I’ve actually run into a handful of people who were at the show and read my piece. I love hearing that. Small world, eh? And, yeah, that was a bizarre show overall.

Amnesty International called Thursday for a thorough investigation into alleged war crimes by the Israeli military in Gaza related to the unlawful destruction of civilian infrastructure and agricultural land along the eastern border.

In a report, it outlined the Israeli military's efforts to create a "buffer zone" along Gaza's eastern edge, indicating that such actions represent wanton destruction and "collective punishment."

A new poll released by the Pew Research Center found that the majority of Israelis, 59 percent, are in favour of censoring social media posts that show sympathy to Palestinian civilians in Gaza amid Israel's war on the besieged enclave.

An even larger majority, 72 percent, of Israelis say posts that include videos or images of violence in the war should be censored.

Individualism - together with the mainstream media - is #capitalism's most successful practice of dividing peoples.


The cool thing about this ball (apart from the colour scheme) is that it shows how the icosahedron and dodecahedron are each other's duals - the big knobbles are in the middle of the icosahedron's triangular faces and the little knobbles are in the middle of the dodecahedron's pentagonal faces.

At least three Palestinians sustained injuries late Thursday after being assaulted by illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.

A 48-year-old man was injured after being attacked in the town of Huwara, south of Nablus.

Two other men were injured when they were assaulted in the northern Jordan Valley region.

The Red Crescent confirmed that medical teams provided emergency aid to the victims.

In the 1950s, U.S. Senator Joe McCarthy led a series of hearings and shadowy ‘investigations, attacking supporters of labor and progressive causes as ‘Communists.’

Evidence of wrongdoing was not provided and not needed, only allegations.

Now, supporters of Israel have resurrected McCarthy’s tactics, condemning all who call for peace in Palestine or an end to U.S. military aid to Israel as ‘antisemites.’
