Briefly on twitter (she insists) after largely making a clean break. I don't like what he's done with the place. Just to say, I have ended up on LinkedIn a bit more (yes, oh god what have I become) and also I miss the good times were had here. I miss you, friends I made here.

I think this order is in line with what most of us were expecting. The Court could have done more? Yes. The Court could have done less? Yes. Is this a "win" for South Africa? Yes. Is it the best win of the century? No.

A momentus decision by the ICJ that is likely to start the political dynamics to end Israel's genocidal war on Gaza: there should not be an Israeli exception to the prevention of genocide.

Initial reports indicate on 25 December, 2 people sheltering in @UNRWA Maghazi Prep School were killed & 1 injured, result of a direct strike.
Since the war began, at least 308 people sheltering in @UNRWA shelters have been killed & 1,095 injured.
Nowhere in📍#Gaza is safe.

I did not see this coming but I am glad to see it.
“I think the only solution we have is a ceasefire, because it is impossible to explain we want to stop terrorism by bombing innocent people.” — French President Macron joins global call for ceasefire in Gaza
Reminder that there is actually sweeping support for ceasefire across the globe -

Almost every line in this interview is another piece of shocking and depressing info about how differently the US government is treating this conflict from any other. The censorship and control, and dismissal of Palestinians at so many levels -

The Home Secretary labelling pro-Palestine protests ‘hate marches’ is inflammatory
Right now we need clear and responsible leadership – not politicians sowing fear and division
Liberty stands against anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and all forms of discrimination

An open letter to @JNJNews. Stop pursuing the secondary patent of bedaquiline. YOU KNOW that millions of people will be unable to access lifesaving treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis if you extend the patent. YOU KNOW it violates your credo. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5SW…

Very happy to be @rightscon, extremely outraged by the discriminatory treatments some of us had to go through to try and be there. Many Black people had to face an ad hoc control, before security check, by immigration officers taking pictures of our passports on their phones👇🏿
I've been watching the charity sector hype for ChatGPT with some real concern. We need to be curious about what it is, how it gets made, and if it is a smart ethical choice for social change orgs. I've put together some key info to help answer those qs -
