The Ulysses Pact: I had never heard of that, but I've lived by it for years.
Excellent article (as usual) by @pluralistic that explains why you should never put much effort into a platform that you can't leave without a cost. Don't get locked in, don't let the Network Effect bite you in the behind.

@Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ worked on implementing it in ActivityPub too, let's hope @Eugen Rochko will put it in Mastodon.
Fascinating lived experience!

Greg Stoker of Colonial Outcasts is joined by human rights lawyer Kristen Zornada to discuss the ICC issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant.
I only recently found Greg Stoker but I really appreciate Colonial Outcasts and Mintpress News. Stoker's military background before becoming anti-imperialist is a unique perspective.

Pire, le nouveau Premier ministre israéliens s'estime victime d'un nouveau "procès Dreyfus". Quel cynisme.

A tribunal in #Rome today found in favour of the Association of Palestinians in #Italy, which objected to a RAI (national broadcaster) game show, that back in May named Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"Flavio Insinna, host of the popular Italian TV show “L’Eredità” will have to deliver this statement next time he goes on the air: 'International law does not recognize #Jerusalem as the capital of the State of #Israel.'"

Douglas Rushkoff on the Escape Fantasies of the Tech #Billionaires
"...they got around to Alaska or New Zealand and spent the whole hour paying me, honestly between a third and half of my annual CUNY professor salary to sit there for an hour with them at this resort and talk about how do you maintain control of your security force after your money's worthless?
