Proceeds are donated to the UNRWA, which is one of the major funding agencies providing aid to Palestine. Recently, the US and other major countries have escalated genocidal efforts by cutting funding from the UNRWA, as AlJazzera reports : Which countries have cut funding to the UNRWA and why?

This is a direct action you can take to say fuck you to the government directed genocidal efforts, bookmark the tab, add a calendar notification daily, do what you want. Or if your prefer: Donate Directly to UNRWA

I thought I was gonna be able to handle wyatt dying in the film because it’s likely gonna happen off camera, like how haymitch doesn’t even realise until he sees his picture in the sky the first night, but you can literally hear him yelling “loulou, run” in one of the teasers and now I’m in my emotions 😭 he was just protecting the baby, man

said this on twitter but for sunrise on the reaping to keep the same 12/pg-13 rating that the rest of the franchise has, the only two deaths I think they’ll either have to censor or tweak are ampert’s and probably wellie’s as well.

especially ampert’s because his book death is the most horrible one in the entire franchise :(

I think wellie will still be killed by silka but maybe not decapitation, or if it is done in that way, more censored than in the book.

and with ampert he could (and should imho, for his death to serve the purpose it does narratively) still die to the mutt squirrels, as I do think it’s important to show that the capitol targeted him specifically with them. likely bc of his involvement in the plan to try and break the arena. it could just be toned down and more similar to maysilee’s death. maybe they slash his throat instead. either that or the film doesn’t show his body at all, and just shows the squirrels and haymitch’s face as he finds him.

someone on twitter just said kara didn’t actually care about the child trafficking part and her only motivation was krypto.

as if she didn’t spend time she could have spent beating krem’s ass to get the antidote freeing all of his child brides.

as if she didn’t find one of their bodies and clearly decided then that he needed to die.

kara is bad at expressing her feelings but she clearly cared about those little girls and took valuable time to make sure they went free.

media literacy has never been more dead.

anyway bonnie didn’t have to like corporate toys more than forky. y’all will call her parents villains for getting her lilypad bc she became addicted to the screen and it took away her creativity, then act like she’s also a villain for loving the product of her own creativity most.

I saw matilda the musical yesterday and it reminded me that mstilda and miss honey might just be the mother and daughter relationship of all time tbqh, they are truly the blueprint for me (and the film version is so peak for including a new song just for them ❤️)

[heedra]

really losing my patience for any 'feminist' statement to the tune of 'we need feminism because women fill a fundamentally different and necessary role than men and will be better at doing x y or z'. like actually i think we need feminism because it is an unbearable death of the spirit by inches to exist in a world where you are not seen as a fully realized human being because of a single cultural determination, and because a world that enshrines such things creates systems that are fundamentally sick to the core

obsession: bear cannot even tell nikki she likes him bc he’s a coward. he also knows so little about his friends that he doesn’t even realise her and ian were hooking up casually in the past. it was not romantic though, it was very casual and on-off. they were friends with benefits, nothing more.

some men: wow, I cannot believe ian and nikki were dating behind bear’s back and lead him on like this, bear is truly a poor innocent victim

[intersexelphie]

reading up about that poor dog, jameson, that got shot by police last weekend is so fucking gutting :( I 100% believe they did that because his owner is black so they assumed he must be aggressive, even though he wasn’t displaying aggression at all

when will police brutality ever end

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou

[ayeforscotland]

Let’s fucking go

[made-in-manetheren]

This is HUGE.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

this conversation is so tired, I’m stopping after this, but I had to take this one out of the comments bc ???? this is wild.

a) nobody that cared about people with eating disorders would plaster someone they suspect of having one and their body all over social media and degrading them and talking about them dying in the way you just did in my comment section. that’s the opposite of helping and not at all an environment where someone with an eating disorder can actually recover.

b) yes eds are an illness. not a moral failing. having one doesn’t make you a bad person. so why are you talking about ariana supposedly having one like it is? (I know why: you don’t like her and don’t find her attractive. nothing to do with “caring” about her or anyone else.)

c) “someone with cancer wouldn’t do a 41-show tour” and someone with anorexia would? ???? with what energy????

d) performers do generally in fact have to work out to go on tour, so they’re in shape for the choreography required of them. I work out and I can promise you, I don’t have an ed.

ariana has said several times this conversation is uncomfortable and so many people with and recovering from eds have said how uncomfortable you people make them talking about her and them like this. please shut the fuck up and get out of my comments. anyone else like this will be blocked also z

[glindaselphie]

obsession spoilers again but something I will always defend ian on is that he was the only one who called bear out for taking advantage of nikki. he should have intervened more on that basis but at the very least, bear had to hear his best friend calling him out on his shit.

[glindaselphie]

I actually see it as a combination of both things! I think ian and bear’s dynamic is a commentary on toxic masculinity and how men are really bad at directly calling out toxic behaviour in their “buddies” even when it’s right in front of their faces.

I do think he is saying it with a level of caring for nikki bc he genuinely thinks something is wrong with her, but he cannot directly call his friend out for the life of him so he says it in a way where he has plausible deniability if bear reacts badly. “I’m not saying you’re taking advantage of her, I’m just saying this is what other people could say.”

I also do think he kinda hoped bear wouldn’t show up to the party as well, he just couldn’t bring himself to outright ban him so directs it at nikki instead. Ian’s a better communicator than bear but I think the entire friendship group has communication issues and they end up being assholes to and about each other for this exact reason.

[glindaselphie]

obsession spoilers //

I think what gets me most about pre-wish nikki is actually that she was really sweet with bear. she told him he could call her when sandy’s death fully hit him and was sad when she thought he wasn’t coming to trivia. she rolled her eyes at ian playfully with him. the hansel and gretel story suggests she viewed him like a brother. and it ends with her pushing his body away from her in disgust because of what he did to her when the whole time, they could have been best friends :((( he truly destroyed everything for both of them.

[glindaselphie]

obsession spoilers //

saw this being talked about on twitter but wish nikki is pretty infantile at times.

the way she cries is like a small child having a tantrum.

her pout at the party? quite childlike.

the way bear sneaks out of the bed like a parent not wanting to wake the toddler they just managed to get to sleep.

I wonder if it’s an intentional commentary on the “some men don’t want an adult woman with her own autonomy, they want a child” idea.

her waiting for him to come home in the same spot all day is more like a pet than a child really but probably is part of that same commentary.

[gothgleek]

I was definitely seeing the ‘Born Sexy Yesterday’ trope with Wish!Nikki.

Correct me if I’m wrong but does Wish!Nikki ever reference Bear’s interests pre-wish? Her knowledge of him seems to extend maybe half an hour before the wish was granted and everything afterwards (so cat and food critic, and maybe movies since the tv always seems to be on). Wish!Nikki seems to cling onto anything that would make her love him (and him her) because she literally does not exist without him. She can’t even take care of herself without him being around.

[glindaselphie]

yeah she barely knows anything about him at all. I wonder if part of the reason she made the sandwich out of the cat specifically is that she didn’t know much about the kind of foods he actually liked, so she figured “hey he loved the cat so maybe he’d like a cat sandwich.” when she was around him, she did seem to stare at him more than she took things in at times and it does go to show how little personality bear actually has outside of her by that point as well.
