I, of course, have never seen them, but always wanted to. Maybe tonight will be my chance. I am going to try anyway.

I bought this book while studying authoritarianism at university, and I find myself going back to it regularly after reading the news these days.

It's highly respected in academic circles and contains a widely cited definition of fascism. The language isn't too academic-y, though, so it's an easy and interesting read.

It's likely to be in a lot of libraries, and it only costs $AU16.99 on Kindle (that's probably $US2.00 😂 ). If you're interested in history and whatnot, it's well worth a look.

Why Netanyahu Bolstered Hamas
The Israeli prime minister followed a decades-old divide-and-rule strategy that fuels endless war.

'According NYT, Israeli intel agents traveled to Gaza w/Qatari official carrying suitcases w/cash to disperse. Retired Israeli Gen. Brom described Netanyahu’s position: “1 way to prevent 2-state solution is divide Gaza & West Bank.” If Hamas ruled Gaza, then Palestinian Authority government of West Bank would be weakened.'

“Once you recognize animals as sentient, the concept of humane slaughter starts to matter, and you need to make sure that the sort of methods you’re using on them are humane.”

Can there EVER be such a thing as "humane slaughter"?

@th3j35t3r My retirement plan is to die protecting my students from a school shooter.

If that fails, which seems unlikely, I'll just die in the climate wars instead.
