HAPPY 15TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE DAY A SHOE WAS THROWN AT BUSH! 🤪

Happy 15th year!!

Muntadhar al-Zaidi is the Iraqi broadcast journalist who famously threw both his shoes at Bush in 2008. He said this:

“This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog,” al-Zaidi yelled as he tossed the shoe before being pinned to the floor by security personnel. “You killed the Iraqis!”

After he was released from Baghdad prison in 2009, he started a humanitarian foundation. Although I do not know what he is doing currently (aside from living in Lebanon for a decade and trying to run for President in Iraq back in 2018), I know that over the years when people have thanked him for throwing the shoe as a form of protest on social media, he has responded.

Much respect to him -and a huge FU to US imperialism and violence.

Okay like, I'm actually not angry at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift for gentrifying fades. My beef is with Alyson Krueger, the damn writer who wrote the damn article, and the New York Times for publishing the article in the first place.

Alyson Kruegor is literally just White mediocrity embodied. Like, imagine being a lifestyle writer and not actually knowing what a fade haircut is, much less knowing that the existance of the haircut preceded Travis Kelce? Justin Bobby has pointed out on Tiktok that Will Smith (back in the 90s on Fresh Prince) and Drake have actually worn the fade before. Also, as a writer for the New York Times, a very well-known news outlet, does she not do her research? How embarassing.

And as for the New York Times, how does the 2nd longest running news outlet in the United States, with a total of 10,360,000 subscribers as of Feb 2023, not have fact-checkers?? How was this half-assed article even okayed by the editor?? My secondary school English teacher would not even pass this article!! The headquarters of the New York Times is situated in Manhatten, which has 199,592 Black residents as of 2020 according to Wikipedia, how did nobody at HQ who read this article look at Alyson in the eye and go, "Honey... this won't cut it."

[unpopularly-opinionated]

I logged onto Twitter for literally 5 seconds and immediately saw people harassing a community director for something called the MAG Festival, which I gather is a video game convention of some variety, who made this joke banner for their event:

Game industry folks, of course, lost their minds and they had to backpedal (frustrating, but I get it).

Anyways, funny joke. Wish the games industry wasn’t so toxic and unwelcoming. Even if you genuinely believe GG was a toxic movement, it boggles the mind how anyone thinks harassing community managers for...*checks notes*...a dumb joke you can either choose to laugh at or roll your eyes and ignore, is better.

Unrelated side-note: Can we just talk about how fucked social media is in it’s current state? Like just the overall design of how interactivity between users works, and how all of them are explicitly designed to feed into this industry of hate and overall negativity?

Think about it: you see a joke on Twitter and, assuming you HAVE to respond to it one way or another as that’s what’s asked of you by nature of you using social media, you’re really only given two options:

Either you enjoyed the tweet, found it humorous, so you’ll indicate that enjoyment simply by clicking the little heart icon to increase the little number next to it that indicates how many other people enjoyed it, and then you’ll  promptly move on.

Or, you disliked the tweet, perhaps it even upset you in some capacity, so you’ll indicate that displeasure by writing a 280-character (or h/e long Tweets are these days idfk) comment on how the joke “wasn’t funny” and perhaps even that the tweeter is “a bad person” for making it.

Now when the next person comes across that same tweet, which do you think they’ll see first, the single spot where it indicates that 10k people liked the post, or the seemingly-bottomless deluge of comments from 1k people expressing their negative response to the joke? More than likely their eyes will be drawn to the comments before the likes.

Now I know what you might be thinking: “Well, what’s to stop someone from commenting on the tweet to indicate that they liked the joke?” And you’re not wrong, except that the algorithm on most social media sites values the engagement from those negative comments higher than the engagement on those positive comment. Remember, even if every 100th person who liked the tweet posted a comment saying as much, the other 99 are still just scrolling by the post once they’ve liked it. They aren’t sticking around to like other positive comments. You know who are liking comments though? The ones already sticking around to comment their displeasure of the tweet.

So yeah, the TL;DR here is that social media, as are sadly most websites these days, are actively trying to not only piss you off, but to keep you essentially towing the line, so-to-speak. Don’t post anything too subversive or the algorithm will convince hundreds, if not thousands of people to harass you off the platform, if not worse.

Dr. Watson: You must come to understand, most esteemed reader, that I’ve been honor-bound to keep quiet about the proceedings of this particular incident for a year and a day as to preclude the population of England at large from gaining knowledge about the particulars of the matter which would, if ever brought to the attention of the condemning gaze of the public eye, bring shame and ruin to the esteemed persons at the very center of it.

Also Dr. Watson: Anyway, here’s a detailed account of the time me and my heterosexual living and business partner, whose eyes I serially describe in detail and with more closeted vigor than those of my wife, who died off-screen, helped cover up a murder most foul.

Just curious, do you only follow Al-Jazeera online in print? Because I recently started watching the live English broadcast on YouTube instead of the occupation propaganda that CNN/MSNBC/etc have been regurgitating to a nauseating extent, and, God, what a difference it makes.

They actually go to the hospitals. Speak to Palestinians. They show all the untold trauma that's taking place that we'd never see from Western news. A couple days ago, they did a segment showing all the dead bodies that had risen up as a result of bombing. Just this morning they showed all the decomposing bodies laying in the streets It really magnifies the horror in ways I can't describe, hearing their voices and seeing the pain in their faces. As I write this, I have it on and they're interviewing men who were kidnapped and tortured by the occupation. It's sickening what they subjected to. No one who watches this can see the situation as anything but what it is - genocide.

TLDR: watch Al-Jazeera English if you can. Clips that are passed around online don't do the victims justice.

I have definitely seen their live broadcasts a handful of times. I usually have their live updates (so yes, print sources) on my browser during the day and refresh often (that's where I get most my updates from, a part from journalists/creators I follow on X and tiktok). I also see Let's Talk Palestine on Instagram when they post on their broadcast channel (if you're subscribed the notifications automatically appear when they post, just like when you set an 'receive all' when they post content on their feeds, as I do as well). Usually those updates are compiled after a 24 hour period, or somewhere in-between to give updates to the international community.

I tend to avoid reading most articles by CNN, BBC, CBC, or any mainstream western news source because when I do, it's nothing but jarring and difficult to read through (since they are aligned with IOF violence and still refuse to call what is happening to Palestinian people -a genocide). If there is, however UNBIASED journalism, like we have seen from time to time, such as The Guardian, I will read through it.

As this person said, for those folks who are able to tune in -watch Al Jazeera English on their YouTube channel.

They are also live right now for folks who are able to tune in!

So in case you haven't heard, Rebel Wilson has announced her relationship with a woman as a way of coming out.

No, that's not it.

An Australian newspaper photographed Rebel at an event, being romantic and loving with another woman. The SMH emailed (or texted, or messaged) Rebel (in some way), asking for a comment, because they were going to publish the photo two days later. The SMH knew that this was outing Rebel, and they knew that this was news.

They revealed all this, because when Rebel, knowing that the photos were going to get published, put up her own announcement and photos on social media, the SMH went ballistic about how Rebel had outscooped them. They whined and complained about they had the "decency" to notify Rebel, "in good faith" and this is how she repaid them.

Look, all the game playing aside, decency would dictate that the SMH would, if they had any ethics, take into account any impact this would have on Rebel, her immediate family and friends, and leave the coming out to her. Poisonous and savage journalism like this provides no public service at all. We are talking opening a person up to physical attacks, abuse, any sort of potential harm.

It was, and should have been, Rebel's choice, the choice of her partner. This applies to any relationship a celebrity has with another person. Knowing about it is not in the public interest.

This was disappointing coming from Zak Cheney-Rice

I usually like Cheney-Rice's writing, but this profile is way too pithy and left out the more unsavoury aspects of Finkelstein's work and "activism". Namely his antiblackness, transphobia, and his rocky relationship with Palestinian organizers in America, and frames him as merely a wronged crusader for justice.
