Six million Arabs were not allowed to vote in today's elections
Two million Arabs vote in today’s election in Israel. Very strange Apartheid.

β€œLmfao a Jewish squatter in the West Bank gets to vote, but the Palestinian next door doesn’t.. some democracy u’ve got there, Fuckabee.” h/t @popdizz
Today is election day in Israel, which is a national holiday. All voting is in person, ID required. No mail-in or absentee ballots. Arabs vote same as Israelis. Contentious process, but it's a democracy-not many of those in this region!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Arab voters are Israeli citizens. Listing them in contrast to Israelis is misconstruing the facts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_citi… cfr.org/backgrounders/…

"Sally Rooney has more courage and spine than any world leader out there." The Irish author's books can no longer be sold in the UK because of her support for Palestine Action. She has previously said she would donate royalties from her work to the proscribed group. This means "the fulfilment of contracts to publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence," she said on Wednesday. Here's how some commentators reacted to the news.

Not a fan of Russell Brand or his β€˜literary’ productions and adaptations, but there’s no such thing as creepy books, only creepy readers.
Reminder of the contents of Russell Brand’s children’s book The Pied Piper of Hamelin packed full of creepy, satanic references. Anybody buying his Christian cover story needs to give their head a wobble. Recorded three years ago.

Data amalgamation FTW
A regular guy tracked Bill Gates’ phone to Epstein Island using nothing but public data. Not a spy. Not a hacker. Just a data researcher in his bedroom. He bought the same location data brands use to serve you ads. Drew a box around Fort Bragg. Watched higher-level phones leave the base and drive to a rich neighborhood 45 minutes away. Then followed those same phones onto planes to Syria β€” under a French cement company front. Same method. Same public data. Years later he pulled the 2016–2017 location data and pointed it at Epstein’s island. Devices showed up. Including ones tied to Bill Gates. He took it to the government. They didn’t want it. If one man sitting five feet from his bedroom can do this with commercial data… what do you think China can do? What do you think the people who actually own the data brokers can do? Your phone never stopped talking. It just never told you who was listening.

Poetic justice FTW
Adobe spent decades building its software empire. One developer just recreated seven of its apps with AI.

β€œJeffrey Dumber Vance hates that question!”
Is JD Vance seriously suggesting that immigrants have brought a culture of revolution and protest TO FRANCE? @jonstewart

France’s protests may be exposing something much bigger than a cost-of-living crisis.
