"I was hung from the metal shackles on my wrists and ankles and beaten on my stomach, back, face, ear, and skull by a group of men and women guards, one of whom sat on my neck and face, blocking my airways."

Noa Avishag Schnall, a Jewish photojournalist who reported from the Conscience vessel of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, gave her testimony after being released from Israeli detention.

NEW | Instagram has removed the verified account of Gaza slain journalist Saleh al-Jafarawi, who had 4.5 million followers.

Archived snapshots of his page on the Wayback Machine, the largest public internet archive, also appear to have been wiped or disabled, raising concerns about digital erasure of Palestinian documentation.

Al-Jafarawi, known for his frontline reporting on the Gaza genocide, had previously faced repeated censorship. He was killed yesterday by an armed group collaborating with Israel.

Observers warn that these developments may signal “a new phase in efforts to erase evidence of Israeli war crimes from the internet.”

Thanks to their greedy, exploitative colonisation of this beautiful planet, humans are ruining it for themselves and the species on which they depend faster than they think. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/wwf-earth-amazon-university-of-exeter-west-papua-b2844098.html #TippingPoint #Environment

LLM tools used in medicine found to be loaded with white male bias.

"The findings by researchers at leading US and UK universities suggest that medical AI tools powered by LLMs have a tendency to not reflect the severity of symptoms among female patients, while also displaying less “empathy” toward Black and Asian ones."

Every time someone says 'AI', ask 'whose AI?'

“Why are you still protesting if there is a ceasefire?”

Because these 2 years changed things. The world is no longer willing to go back to business as usual where Israel gets to mass kill Palestinians every few years. The goal is freedom.

That’s Israel’s key defeat.

You honestly want me to believe that “Hamas” was in every single one of those houses? Every building on every street? As far as the eye can see?

Side point on #ChatControl: When I worked on the law in the European Parliament, in the face of questionably legal, and highly problematic behavior by DG HOME, I prepared a whitepaper on why it was such a terrible Idea.

As it is in the public interest, I have decided to make that white paper public.

🚨 New preprint out🚨 now, why has Antarctica stopped (net) losing mass?
We explore how declining sea ice but mostly increasingly heavy and frequent atmospheric rivers have actually led to a small increase in the mass of #Antarctica, in spite of increased discharge from outlet glaciers.

The increase is unlikely to be sustained, and a small increase in calving or discharge over the grounding line can easily turn it upside down, but nevertheless another long-term prediction about the Antarctic appears to becoming true.

Lots of important subtleties in this one!

In review at Nature communications but I feel it's too important to wait for the review process.
