Learned a new word today:
Tergiversation
1: evasion of straightforward action or clear-cut statement : equivocation
2: desertion of a cause, position, party, or faith
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tergiversationExample:
"Efforts like the above, explained and marketed in the right way, should convince enough working-class voters to return to the D column, especially given Trump’s broken promises and tergiversations."

Cockwomble: A completely useless person that spouts constant bullshit. A person prone to making outrageously stupid statements and/or inappropriate behaviour while generally having a very high opinion of their own wisdom and importance.
Since 2024, Cockwomble has also been synonymous with ‘Mr. President’.

https://theconversation.com/how-authoritarian-regimes-use-education-as-a-political-tool-270731; https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/15/7/801?utm_source=researchgate.net&utm_medium=article (open access). Education wouldn't be "empowering" under an #authoritarian regime, now would it? It would be the opposite - by #definition! If you survived your #education with an #ability to #think for #yourself intact that would be a massive tribute to the other influences on you, & your personal #integrity.

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/apr/24/zak-polanski-calls-for-nuance-when-discussing-antisemitism-in-rebuke-of-pm. "[Polanski] added: 'We’ve got into a bizarre situation in this country where a non-Jewish prime minister is attacking the one #Jewish #leader on a case of #antisemitism.'" The accusation is absurd, & stems from the #IHRA #definition of antisemitism, which seeks to make all #statements of #AntiZionism "antisemitic", @ZackPolanski. Criticism of #Israel & the #Israeli #Government, & #support for the #Palestinians, isn't antisemitism.

https://www.france24.com/en/france/20260416-why-is-france-s-bill-against-new-forms-of-anti-semitism-sparking-controversy. Criticising #Israel, or Israel's #genocide in #Gaza, is NOT #antisemitic! I will open myself to the charge of #antisemitism, under the #IHRA #definition, & under this proposed #French legislation's definition: the State of Israel should never have come into existence, & should not exist. It is an #apartheid State, & ought to be replaced, at an early date, with a secular, non-sectarian, multi-ethnic, multi-religious, #democratic #Palestine. #AntiZionism ≠ antisemitism.

Min. 18: #dehumanisation, "three parts" working #definition on
"what it is in the #mind of the person doing #dehumanization and what it is to the person who's on the receiving end of that. [...]- It is the #CognitiveState of failing to perceive another human as fully human.
- It is the acts that express that cognitive state or otherwise entail the assertion that another human is not fully human.
- And then finally it's the #experience of being subjected to those acts by someone else."

Hospital. *n*. A place one goes to to become a patient, mostly through the process of waiting long hours in a crowded lobby teaming with patients.

Es gibt ein Wort, das wir alle benutzen, als wüssten wir genau, was es bedeutet: Gerechtigkeit. Wir fordern sie ein, selbst dann wenn wir sie gar nicht definieren können, wenn uns Unrecht widerfährt, und berufen uns auf sie, wenn wir Entscheidungen bewerten. Doch der Begriff zerfällt, sobald man ihn genauer betrachtet. Was genau ist gerecht? Und ist Gerechtigkeit durch Gesetze überhaupt […]

Just a dictionary (Monier-Williams) casually saying about 15% of the world's population is sort of color blind. 🤭

In choosing to adopt the controversial & widely discredited #IHRA definition (doing so against the advice of many experts, including the author of the definition, who warns against its use for purposes linked to government regulative activity), the Royal Commission set up by the #Albanese #ALP federal government after the #BondiMassacre has now become the Royal Commission into Criticism of Israel, rather than what it claims to be, a Royal Commission into Antisemitism.
It is not antisemitic to uphold #HumanRights, #InternationalLaw and oppose a #genocide. It *is* antisemitic to conflate legitimate criticism of Israel with hatred of all Jewish people as such.
By making this move, the Commissioner has shifted the focus of investigation away from some of the very factors most responsible for the recent rise in *actual* hatred towards Jewish people as such. This will seriously impede the ability of the Commission to reach useful insights. Instead, it will likely result in shifting blame (implicitly or explicitly) onto those standing up for the lives and dignity of Israel's victims, including onto survivors, as well as relatives and friends of victims of genocide, torture, forced displacement and starvation.
