With the award-winning ‘ Palestine ’, Joe Sacco invented his own genre of deep political reportage through comics. The American journalist and cartoonist, who is visiting India, talks to Amulya Gopalakrishnan about his craft, and the Israel-Palestine conflict he has covered for many decades In ‘Footnotes in Gaza ’, you reconstructed Israeli massacres of 1956, with reported memories, official reports and juxtaposed stories. And yet, it’s not ‘both-sides’ reporting, there is a truth that emerges. How would you describe your method? I’m interested in getting as close to the truth of events as possible, which usually doesn’t mean finding some middle ground between competing narratives. Giving both sides equal weight is being unfair to the narrative that “has more truth” than the other. A journalist must seek the truth itself and not fetishize balance. You have critiqued the pose of journalistic neutrality and objectivity. What, then, does fair journalism mean to you? I think it’s impossible to be truly impartial or objective in certain journalistic contexts. Certainly, a reporter comes into any story with his or her class or caste background fully intact. I’m a westerner, and I cannot automatically jettison my western prejudices when I’m outside my regional and cultural world. To me, fairness means recognising the way your own background can shape a story and trying to report honestly with that awareness in mind. What draws you to your subjects, to Gaza, to Sarajevo, to Iraq, to Appalachian coalfields, to Dalit villagers in UP’s Kushinagar? A lot of subjects interest me, but I always look for those that hit me in the gut, the sorts of issues that will still matter to me over the course of a number of years — the time it takes me to complete a book. How has the Palestinian cause been presented in the West and the rest of the world? How did you break away from that consensus? What has changed or not changed in the last four decades? This is a rather broad question. Palestinians had generally been treated by the eastern media, if they were treated at all, as terrorists with no cause but a hatred of Israel . I had imbibed this rubbish myself, but I began to examine the issue closely after the massacre of Palestinian refugees in Beirut in 1982 by a Lebanese Christian militia with the help of the Israeli army. Educating myself was not easy at a time when there was little to read in English from a Palestinian’s perspective. Over the decades, the narrative that attributes righteousness to the Israelis and terrorism to the Palestinians remains dominant in the mainstream media, but independent media have begun to present a much more nuanced narrative that challenges the propaganda. And now everyone who wants to can watch the real-time genocide of the Palestinians on social media. There is no more hiding from the truth, which doesn’t mean the propagandists won’t double down on their lies and govts won’t suppress those who present reality as it is. Even though the atrocities are being live streamed and reported in real time, there’s a sense of helplessness, as both the Democrats and Republicans largely agree on Israel policy. What can people do when their political leadership is locked into these positions? What has given me some hope — not for the near term, because the near term provides nothing but horror —is the attitude of younger people in the US. They see the enormous suffering of the Palestinians and they are shocked and disgusted. From a human point of view —even without knowing the context — they know something is seriously wrong with arming and funding and covering for a genocide. Many of these students have gone on to actually learn about the issue. So, there’s a new generation now that doesn’t look at Palestine and Israel in the same way. Whether they will have an effect on policy over time remains to be seen. The literary and artistic world has been divided over speaking out about Gaza, even as institutions that provide grants and prizes and day-jobs discourage this. What do you feel about this bind? What is your concept of responsibility and risk-taking? It’s easier for some people, like me, to take risks. People already know my position by the subject matter I choose. I’m already established, and I don’t have a boss. Not everyone is in a comparable position. Depending on where they live, many journalists face job loss, harassment, jail time, and physical injury for reporting honestly. There is clearly an effort by the dominant powers to intimidate journalists. It’s shameful, especially in societies that lay claim to democracy . What are your thoughts on the future of this conflict? Do you see it as a continuation of the logic of the 1948 Nakba, or a whole new unprecedented threshold? The logic of what is going on now can be seen in the 1948 Nakba and all the compounding catastrophes that have been inflicted on the Palestinians ever since. Annihilation was always a possible outcome, and it has been horrifying to see it being played out before our eyes.8 Thanksgiving mistakes: Frozen or overcooked turkey, too many sides and other common holiday miscuesIsraeli strikes on a Gaza tent camp kill at least 21 people, hospital says

SINGAPORE, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitdeer Technologies Group (Nasdaq: BTDR) (“Bitdeer” or the “Company”), a world-leading technology company for blockchain and high-performance computing, today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, US$360.0 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “notes”) in a private placement (the “offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional US$40.0 million principal amount of notes. The notes will be general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, Class A ordinary shares par value US$0.0000001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A ordinary shares”) or a combination of cash and Class A ordinary shares, at its election. The interest rate, initial conversion rate, repurchase or redemption rights and certain other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the zero-strike call option transaction and to pay the cash consideration for the concurrent note exchange transactions, each as described below. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for datacenter expansion, ASIC based mining rig development and manufacture, as well as working capital and other general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, the Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the additional notes for datacenter expansion, ASIC based mining rig development and manufacture, as well as working capital and other general corporate purposes as described above. In connection with the pricing of the notes, the Company intends to enter into a privately negotiated zero-strike call option transaction with one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate (the “option counterparty”). Pursuant to the zero-strike call option transaction, the Company would pay a premium for the right to receive, without further payment, a specified number of Class A ordinary shares (subject to customary adjustment), with delivery thereof by the option counterparty at expiry, subject to early settlement of the zero-strike call option transaction in whole or in part at the option counterparty’s discretion. In the case of settlement at expiration or upon any early settlement, the option counterparty would deliver to the Company the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the zero-strike call option transaction or the portion thereof being settled early. The zero-strike call option transaction is intended to facilitate privately negotiated derivative transactions with respect to the Class A ordinary shares between the option counterparty (or its affiliate) and certain investors in the notes by which those investors will be able to hedge their investment in the notes. Those activities, which are expected to occur concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the offering, could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Class A ordinary shares and/or the notes at that time. The option counterparty (or its affiliate) may modify its hedge positions by entering into or unwinding derivative transactions with respect to the Class A ordinary shares and/or purchasing or selling Class A ordinary shares or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions at any time following the pricing of the notes and shortly before or after the expiry or early settlement of the zero-strike call option transaction, and, the Company has been advised that the option counterparty may unwind its derivative transactions and/or purchase or sell the Class A ordinary shares in connection with the expiry of the zero-strike call option transaction or any early settlement of the zero-strike call option transaction at the option counterparty’s discretion, including any early settlement relating to any conversion, repurchase or redemption of the notes. Those activities could also increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) or decrease (or reduce the size of any increase in) the market price of the Class A ordinary shares and/or the notes. If the zero-strike call option transaction fails to become effective, whether or not the offering is completed, the option counterparty may unwind its hedge positions with respect to the Class A ordinary shares, which could adversely affect the market price of the Class A ordinary shares and, if the notes have been issued, the market price of the notes. Concurrently with the pricing of the notes in the offering, the Company expects to enter into one or more privately negotiated transactions with one or more holders of 8.50% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “existing 2029 notes”) to exchange for cash and Class A ordinary shares certain of its existing 2029 notes on terms to be negotiated with each holder (each, a "note exchange transaction"). The terms of each note exchange transaction will depend on a variety of factors. No assurance can be given as to how much, if any, of the existing 2029 notes will be exchanged or the terms on which they will be exchanged. This press release is not an offer to exchange the existing 2029 notes, and the offering of the notes is not contingent upon the exchange of the existing 2029 notes. In connection with any note exchange transaction, the Company expects that holders of the existing 2029 notes who agree to have their existing 2029 notes exchanged and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such notes (the “hedged holders”) will unwind all or part of their hedge positions by buying the Class A ordinary shares and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the Class A ordinary shares. The amount of the Class A ordinary shares to be purchased by the hedged holders or in connection with such derivative transactions may be substantial in relation to the historical average daily trading volume of the Class A ordinary shares. This activity by the hedged holders could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Class A ordinary shares, including concurrently with the pricing of the notes. The Company cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the notes or the Class A ordinary shares. The notes and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

, Talk about life coming at us fast! I don't know about you, but only now have I begun to settle into the reality of our success on Election Day. But we remain in a time when significant events are happening every day. And multiple times a day! While each of these events are worthy of their own commentary, I wanted to brief you on news that you could not miss and which you very well may have. Within 24 hours of writing this column, former representative Matt Gaetz withdrew his name as President Trump's nominee for Attorney General. That came as a surprise to many, but reports are saying that after multiple meetings with senators, it became clear that there was too much opposition to his nomination. What now? There are a few paths forward, including possibly being named by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to fill Marco Rubio's senate seat. On the same day that Gaetz withdrew, President Trump continued the rapid action we've seen from the moment he became the president-elect. Within hours, he announced former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his new nominee for Attorney General. This was met with universal praise on social media by Trump's circle and supporters of the president. Bondi was a prosecutor in Florida for 20 years, and the state's AG for eight years, from 2011-2019. She also happened to be the first woman to hold that office. I've had the pleasure of speaking with and interviewing her a number of times and found her to be sharp, confident, and ready for anything. She's a brilliant attorney and will make an excellent attorney general. Closing out another unnecessary drama fed by the panic of the Democrats, Democrat senator Bob Casey finally conceded to Republican challenger Dave McCormick for the Pennsylvania Senate seat, ending an ongoing recount. Casey spent weeks contesting the results despite no path to victory. All this was happening while a Bucks County commissioner caused a stunning scandal by publicly announcing they would ignore a...

Animals Don't miss out on the headlines from Animals. Followed categories will be added to My News. Japanese monkeys living in Launceston will be prevented from reproducing due to concerns of disease and inbreeding within the group. For more than 40 years, visitors to Launceston’s City Park have been able to view the macaques frolicking about in an enclosure. But by 20250 it is expected there will be no monkeys left in the park. In 2000, it was revealed the herpes B virus had spread through the monkeys, although previous discussions of euthanising the troop were politically unpopular. The monkeys which given to Launceston by Japanese sister city Ikeda in 1981. Picture: City of Launceston Now there are increasing concerns about a lack of genetic diversity within the group. The City of Launceston has decided to desex the male members of the macaque troop to prevent the animals from breeding. It is expected that the desexing of the troop will take two years to complete. The council said while it was grateful to receive the monkeys, by today’s standards they would not keep these animals in an enclosure. They also said it was important to take into consideration the needs of the monkeys and the greater community. On Thursday afternoon, a council meeting voted 10-1 in favour of sterilisation, after hearing there were signs of miscarriages and stillbirths in the troop. Japanese macaques play about in Launceston's City Park. Picture: City of Launceston “We know the Launceston community cares very much about the welfare of the City Park monkeys,” Launceston Mayor Matthew Garwood said. “That’s a sentiment that’s also very much shared by both councillors and staff. “The inability to introduce new genetic stock and the serious impacts on their health and wellbeing means we need to begin to consider the future of the troop. “[The] decision was a difficult one, but it prioritises the welfare of the monkey troop so we can keep them as healthy and happy as possible for as long as possible. Mr Garwood said he would write to the mayor of Ikeda following the decision. Councillor Andrea Dawkins said if the city was offered this same opportunity today the city would be unlikely take it. “There is a lot of interest in these monkeys as there should be because there is so much interest in the way humans react with animals and we take it for granted they are a part of our lives,” she said. “Communities have changed and animals in captivity for the enjoyment of humans is some; thing we’ve moved through.” Originally published as Launceston council to sterilise iconic Japanese macaques More related stories Animals Dog act: Moment sick dog dumped in yard A dog is set to have life saving surgery after it was allegedly dumped in a random yard with a heartbreaking note.
