In this blogpost, I talked about the reaction of world leaders, powerful people and famous people, to the genocide in Gaza, in terms of "phases": https://autismneurodiversity.com/2025/08/04/we-should-still-all-be-screaming/ Phase One: For the first approximately year and a half of the genocide, just keep deploying what I call the "Big Three" excuses, over, and over, and over, and … Continue reading Phase Three: Amnesia

The Media Is Telling You That You Are Worthless
So, something came on my radar over the last few days, which made me lose even more hope for this year called 2026. How can things seem so bad only 23 days in? And this is something I'd have preferred to ignore, and I was going to ignore it, for the sake of my health … Continue reading The Media Is Telling You That You Are Worthless
Every Day I Check The News To See If Heba Muraisi Is Still Alive
Heba Muraisi is dying slowly. She has been on hunger strike for 72 days. To put that in perspective, Terrence McSweeney, a Republican, and Lord Mayor Of Cork, in 1920 finally died after a 74 day hunger strike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_MacSwiney Also on hunger strike is Kamran Ahmed, who has not eaten for 65 days. Also refusing … Continue reading Every Day I Check The News To See If Heba Muraisi Is Still Alive
I Yearn For The Days Of 2+2=5. Now We’re Into 2+2=Rectangle.
I'm going to start with a quote from 1984, even though quoting 1984 when talking about tyranny and political badness is such a cliché. “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” But here's the thing. I wish for the days of 2+2=5. Because … Continue reading I Yearn For The Days Of 2+2=5. Now We’re Into 2+2=Rectangle.
Do You Condemn Jens-Frederik Nielsen?
Good day to you, I'm completely Empty BBC Presenter. Now, this will be a very unusual episode, because while it is 8th January 2026 where you are, this broadcast is actually taking place 2 months in the future, on 8th March 2026. Perhaps it's down to wormholes or Higgs bosons or something, but our boffins … Continue reading Do You Condemn Jens-Frederik Nielsen?
How Long Will The Silence Continue?
I recently saw a video that absolutely broke my heart. In tears, Sudanese American mother Daad Khojali talks about how, no matter how brutal, no matter how evil what happens in Sudan is, very few people come to the protests. Daad is talking in the aftermath of an emergency protest for Sudan, when the RSF … Continue reading How Long Will The Silence Continue?
Humanity Is At A Crossroads
There's a part of me that hates arguing that if we allow the genocide in Gaza to continue, humanity as a whole is at stake. Because, I just wish the suffering, and deaths, of the people of Palestine was enough by itself to convince everyone that this horrific mass slaughter needs to stop. One day, … Continue reading Humanity Is At A Crossroads
Climate Change, Gaza, And Mutually Assured Destruction
The day before yesterday I watched the film Threads. There are three main reactions to Threads that people have. 1. Traumatized. 2. Quite Traumatized. 3. Extremely traumatized beyond belief. But why? Were the acting, dialogue and special effects really that bad? No, I'm not going for a silly joke like that here. Threads is possibly … Continue reading Climate Change, Gaza, And Mutually Assured Destruction
Should We Disbelieve What Our Eyes And Ears Are Telling Us?
Good Afternoon, I'm Completely Empty BBC Presenter, coming to you live from the town of Forecastle-Upon-Gooseberry-Hill. To my left you will see what appears to be a hospital burning to the ground, its inhabitants trapped, with little if any hope of survival unless somebody does something. And, like any sane, sensible, and moral person, I … Continue reading Should We Disbelieve What Our Eyes And Ears Are Telling Us?
A Ceasefire Has Been Declared. So Why Still Protest?
A question that is being asked of the pro-Palestine movement over the last few days is, now that a ceasefire has been declared, why do we still protest for Palestine? Isn't our job done? Can't we now find something else to do with our time? I'm going to try and answer that question, but in … Continue reading A Ceasefire Has Been Declared. So Why Still Protest?
