/ Mainstream media is mobilized to conceal information from the public, especially the atrocities of the war in Gaza

The sharp spike in the Israeli military censor's intervention in journalists' work in 2023 was mainly due to the war on Gaza. The censor blocked the publication of 613 articles and censored parts of 2,703 additional articles - which even by Israeli standards is a new record.

According to a report in Local Call (Sikha Mekomit) Intervention was especially high during the last quarter of the year. The censor cited security issues for the heightened censorship.

But the most stringent censorship in Israeli mainstream media remains self-censorship by journalists and editors choosing not to cover the impacts of the war on Gaza's civilian population.

Even worse for historians and researchers, in recent years, the censorship has also begun intervening in documents from the State Archives, as part of the digitization of the archives and uploading the documents to the internet. Local Call reporter says that in response to their request, it was reported that the censorship handled 2,962 documents, and that the "absolute majority" were approved for upload to the internet without intervention.

I would correct your comment slightly. Arab and Persian Jews (Mizrahi) are indigenous to the Levant in the sense their ancestors did not migrate out of the ME. 8% of the population of Palestine was Jewish, a fraction of that, immigrants from Europe.

Baghdad was 1/3 Jewish. The formation of Israel ended a millennia old community. Iran also had their own communities of which 9k individuals still remain there. The Ayatollahs guaranteed their safety.

is this feeling... hope? https://activitypub.ghost.org/day-0/

At various points we revisited our old idea for networked publishing in Ghost and tested a few prototypes, but we were never sure how to make it scale; nor how many other platforms would ultimately adopt it. For all its promise, ActivityPub (like many open standards) seemed to generate products with user experiences that were often confusing and convoluted. But something else happened in the intervening period between 2016 and 2024: People became increasingly fed up with the behavior of centralized platforms, and increasingly hungry for alternatives. The motivation for exploring and understanding new technologies, rough edges included, meaningfully increased. In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. In the past week alone, we've had conversations with Mastodon, Flipboard, The Verge, Buttondown, WriteFreely, and several co-authors of the ActivityPub spec. There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of [begin strikethrough] the linux desktop [end strikethrough] the open web.

    Unfortunately lost in this exchange: crowing about cutting the deficit is wrong headed. Slashing the deficit and balancing the budget, which Coolidge was so proud of in the 20s, set the stage for the Great Depression. Dems bragging about nosing deficits down is no virtue. MMT is far more nuanced about public and private credit and debt.

    I made the mistake of going on Twitter today to find a tweet. 😬

    I'm glad Urbanist Twitter is not representative of actual urbanists, because it's basically just this. 😆

    I will never understand the mentality of people who dislike a YouTuber and then rant about it for months on social media, instead of doing something sane like, say, watching something else, making the content they want to see, or maybe touching grass.

    I genuinely think that too much social media rots people's brains.
