New doco: "You can do anything". Israeli war crimes in Gaza: first-hand testimonies of Israeli soldiers

"People don’t think about it,” one soldier says. “Because if you do think about it, you’ll want to kill yourself."

“When you take a moment to try and think about it, you want to scream."

I had some cabbage, and I had some potato, so:

First up, cabbage poriyal. Poriyal is a sort of southern Indian catch-all for stir-fried vegetables - spices would include mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves etc. Often coconut is used to finish.

With the potatoes, I made aloo zeera (sometimes known as aloo jeera) - aloo is potatoes, zeera/jeera means cumin. It's literally that - potatoes roasted in oil, flavoured with cumin seeds and some other spices. I do a lot of roast potatoes, either for myself or friends (I am English, after all), so peeling a few more and popping them in a dish with Indian spices is not a massive hardship.

Then, I combined the two. I found this on a takeaway menu for a local takeaway which is more "southern Indian and street food" than the "northern Indian and Bangladeshi" takeaways that tend to more prevalent in the UK.

"Aloo Patti Gobi" - Patti Gobi means cabbage, which I learned only last week (!) - shredded cabbage mixed with potatoes. I used leftover aloo zeera here for the potatoes, but one could easily use fresh, just make sure they're cooked through.

Really pleased with all of these, but the aloo patti gobi in particular was fantastic, and went down a storm with everyone.

"AI chatbots have conquered the world, so it was only a matter of time before companies started stuffing them into toys for children, even as questions swirled over the tech’s safety and the alarming effects they can have on users’ mental health.

Now, new research shows exactly how this fusion of kid’s toys and loquacious AI models can go horrifically wrong in the real world.

After testing three different toys powered by AI, researchers from the US Public Interest Research Group found that the playthings can easily verge into risky conversational territory for children, including telling them where to find knives in a kitchen and how to start a fire with matches. One of the AI toys even engaged in explicit discussions, offering extensive advice on sex positions and fetishes.

In the resulting report, the researchers warn that the integration of AI into toys opens up entire new avenues of risk that we’re barely beginning to scratch the surface of — and just in time for the winter holidays, when huge numbers of parents and other relatives are going to be buying presents for kids online without considering the novel safety issues involved in exposing children to AI."

"Twenty-eight Israeli officials appeared in front of a panel of 10 UN experts on torture in Geneva.
The experts asked the Israeli team: “Does Israel have a law against torture?”
The answer from the Israeli delegation was no.
“Does Israel apply the agreements it has signed against torture in Gaza and the West Bank?” the question continued, to which the answer was also no."

Report: The US knew that Israel used Palestinians as human shields in Gaza

"Israeli officials discussed how their soldiers sent Palestinians into tunnels in Gaza that the Israelis believed were potentially lined with explosives."

"The information was shared with the White House & analysed by the intelligence community" during the Biden administration.

You can use American units to flirt, but it doesn't work with European ones. For example, you could say, 'I want to kiss every inch of your body' or 'Every inch of you is beautiful', but if you try saying them in centimetres, you'll sound like a German serial killer who works in a morgue.

I truly believe that Wes Streeting has the ideas, the charisma, and the likeability to be an even more historically hated Prime Minister than Keir Starmer

What's horrifying about this graph is that we're emitting CO2 from fossil hydrocarbons NOW at four times the rate we were when I was a child, and twice the rate we were in 1972, when we already knew that #ClimateChange was an existential problem.

This is super cool! I could see myself using it if/when I publish videos on Youtube.

The seattle-based tech entrepreneur
Nick Hanauer was riding in a black Uber SUV to the private-jet terminal at Dulles International Airport, outside Washington, D.C.,
when I asked him whether he really thought his was the best face for the movement to raise the minimum wage to $15.

He was on his way to New York for dinner with Joseph Stiglitz,
the Nobel Prize–winning liberal economist known for his critiques of globalization and free-market economics.
Hanauer is generally unimpressed by politicians, who have been begging him for money for many years, but the prospect of dining with Stiglitz had him giddy.
“He’s, like, God,” Hanauer said.
At my question, Hanauer, who is 56, with blunt features and a pouf of dark hair, paused to collect his thoughts, then leaned forward in his leather seat.
“A guy like me—a very successful capitalist, somebody who knows all the rich people—is the best face for the message of reforming capitalism, right?” he said.
People might dismiss the argument coming from a fast-food worker or a labor leader.
“I’m the one who can say, ‘It doesn’t have to be that way,’ ” he continued.
“When they say that the better profits are, the better it will be for everybody, I’m the one who can say ‘That’s a lie.’ ”
