New from Kit @oconnell: As Republicans made bigoted rhetoric a key part of their campaign strategy, there were at least three assaults, six bomb threats and 30 protests against LGBTQ+ events last year according to the nonprofit GLAAD.

"Donald Trump has vowed that the US will 'take over' war-ravaged Gaza and 'own it', effectively endorsing the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, in an announcement shocking even by the standards of his norm-shattering presidency."

"He told the whole world that he’s going to take over Gaza and level it and turn it into “'he Riviera of the Middle East.'

For Donald Trump the world is now a gigantic real estate deal. He called Gaza 'a demolition site.' Yes, dear readers, standing next to the man who bombed Gaza nearly flat, that's what Trump called it."

"At his press conference tonight, standing alongside a man the International Court of Law has already charged with war crimes, Donald Trump proposed to the whole world that he wants the United States to commit the war crime of ethnic cleansing by removing the Palestinian people – all two million-plus of them -- from Gaza."

"After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous.

There must be no ethnic cleansing."

"The New York Times calls this— Trump’s proposal that the U.S. buys Gaza and turns it into a seafront village — an 'Improbable' idea. Improbable. Not 'insane' and 'revolting' and an increasing sign of a demented president leading a country into global disaster, but 'improbable,' because that is a nicer word as befits a tamer, cringing, corrupted media.

The sane-washing has gone nuts."

"Readers who are alarmed by Trump's actions – and don't feel like legacy media outlets are equally alarmed – are turning to bloggers, Substack writers, YouTubers and other independent media figures who freely express fear, outrage and resistance."

This comment is in the category of, "You think?!" Who would turn to NYT for commentary when there's Heather Cox Richardson?

"This is the world without moral limits. The world with absolute disregard for the humanity of people who are not white and Christian, or Judeo-Christian, and Western. And this is the barbarism of our time. It’s monstrous to watch, but this has been a long time in coming."

@CatHerder I just finished reading Carys Davies' novel Clear, about the Highland Clearances (the focus is on an island off the northeast coast of Scotland). It's magnificent, one of the bst novels I've read in quite some time. I recommend it if you haven't read it.


White House accuses two House Democrats (Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and LaMonica McIver of New Jersey) of calling for violence to oppose President Trump's agenda.
in reply to Steve Herman

I think you accidentally left out a word. "falsely accuses," or "baselessly accuses" would be more apt.
in reply to Steve Herman

one wonders the response if they were to goto the Capitol, and verbatim read ol Trumpies speech.

'We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore'

Okay just stop. Breathe. Take your mind off the rapid collapse of US Democracy for just a few moments.

I'll help you. Here's some baby giant springtails, aren't they cute?

They don't understand human politics, they just eat fungi and logs and go to sleep. That must be nice for them.

Okay, off you go. Come back if you need to.

The Twelve Snake watch celebrates the Lunar New Year and a classic mobile game.

It’s the year of the snake, so British watchmaker Christopher Ward has revealed a new timepiece featuring a Swiss-made self-winding movement and a design inspired by Snake -- the iconic mobile game included on the Nokia 6110.

The $1,225 Twelve Snake watch, available for preorder until February 12th, unfortunately doesn’t have a playable version of the game. Only a bright green faceted face design that simulates the appearance of Snake on the 6110’s pixelated display.

Q: "What would Ofcom say to sites that are delaying [age verification] because none of their competitors have implemented it and they don't want to be at a commercial disadvantage by complying?"

"This is across the board... We are focused across the industry whether it be one-man bands, the smaller service, the big companies."

in reply to École des Bro-Arts

"If you reach out to us, we want to have conversation about what applies to your service."

This is the exact opposite of the responses I've gotten from Ofcom so far, which is "we won't say anything about specific services" and complete refusal to address any questions.
