"Israeli forces kill 67 Palestinians seeking aid in northern Gaza, Hamas-run ministry says" - this is what the British Imperial News Service says about the genocide in Gaza.

It's all a "Hamas allegation" even though the Western doctors who volunteer in Gaza, including some Jewish doctors, have testified this wanton slaughter to be a Zionist state policy for the past year and a half.

It is an outrage and an insult to common sense, that should make anyone with dignity and reason feel angry.

I wonder if the propagandists that have to come up with yet another reason why the IDF has "accidentally" killed yet another group of civilians ever get annoyed with having so much work.

In planning my travels around The Netherlands, I noticed a funny glitch on Google Maps near the souther border. It turns out that the town of Baarle-Nassau has 22 "holes" in it, self-contained enclaves belonging to Belgium (in which the town is called Baarle-Hertog). And more deliciously, a couple of them contain "counter-enclaves" that are Dutch again! I'm sure many people have seen this before, but it was new to me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baarle-N…

What has the WNBA taught me about community building and cultural change?

As a new fan of the WNBA, “attending” this year’s All-Star Game was more than just entertainment, it was a lesson in what it actually takes to build something meaningful and transformative over time.

The WNBA has quickly become one of my favorite case studies in slow, intentional, values-driven growth.

I think about this often as I build The Future Is FREE, a vision of a professional and cultural landscape that is equity-centered, community-rooted, and liberation-aligned.

I know I may never fully experience the version of the world I’m fighting for.
I know that what I’m building might serve others more than it will serve me.
And I’m okay with that.

Because real change, transformational change, isn’t about personal reward.
It’s about collective inheritance.

If we truly want to disrupt the systems that harm us, we have to stop expecting immediate gratification. We have to release the need to personally benefit from the change we say we believe in. And we have to recognize that commitment without conditions is the foundation of legacy.
