"Elderly Palestinian couple looking at their former home, now occupied by a couple from Brooklyn. 🇵🇸" [@/RamAbdu on X. April 4th, 2024.]

Hi! I did fact check this. The article is from 2021, and the photo is an Al Jezeera report from 2020.

In the clip, Al Jazeera reporter Najwan Simri asked the current residents of the home, "How do you feel living in a house built on the wreckage of his house?"
The Jewish woman said she was happy to live in the home and that it was "very enjoyable."
The report does not identify the couple behind the gate, making it impossible to verify the claim that they originate from Brooklyn.
While the photo in the social media posts is not related to the recent violence between Hamas and Israel, it is connected to some of the fundamental issues of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Columbia is unhousing students of color after suspending them:

while we’re here, everything is connected. these ivy league “academic” institutions will always side with empire because they were solely created in the interest of empire.

the tswift bullshit may feel unbearable and unending but i need my fellow haters to remember the wise words of ursula ke le guin. the power of ms private jet pollution queen fandom seems inescapable, but so did the divine right of sherlock and the mcu. any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words. commit to haterdom with all your heart and all your soul is what i'm saying.

The remake reboot prequel sequel industrial complex is killing me but the good thing is I don't have to watch any of that. I can just think "that sounds boring or otherwise doesn't interest me in any way" and do something other than watch it

"They're making a willy wonka origin story with timothee chalamet," you might say to me. "They're doing a live action the last airbender again, didn't you love avatar?" I don't find it necessary. This is nothing to me
