*Israel drops leaflets warning people to flee southern Gaza towns.*

Most people in Gaza have had little food and water for weeks. How are they supposed to be capable of walking for miles, carrying or dragging the possessions they have saved? And where could they find other shelter?

Even if they were provided with the wherewithal to move, to order thousands of civilians to move or be bombarded is, as I understand it, a war crime which nothing can possibly excuse.

*Tech companies are pushing the idea that the only way to make AI safe is to leave them in control. Trusting them could lead to disaster.*

The author doesn't fully appreciate to what extent this is true. The only way they would _not_ be in control is if they release the software and make it libre -- so we change it for ourselves.

The UK Supreme Court recognized that Rwanda proved untrustworthy when it allowed Israel to park asylum-seekers there.

Landlords that hide their names and addresses behind anonymous corporations find that a convenient way to get away with illegal harassment and eviction.

I made the article link above it tells us something important about fighting unjust business power, and secondarily racism too.

Ironically, that article embodies symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid this bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I denounce all forms of bigotry, and I don't want to normalize symbolic bigotry by letting it pass without calling it out. Here I am doing that.
