Col Rabih Alenezi says he was ordered to evict villagers from a tribe in the Gulf state to make way for The Line, part of the Neom eco-project. One of them was subsequently shot and killed for protesting against eviction.

@ai6yr the challenge I’ve found is that ad blockers have a low partner-acceptance rate because the goshdarned websites are absolutely broken if the ads don’t show.  |
@ai6yr You could probably automate it with usb drives.
Me, having recently been laid off from an outsourcing firm in New Delhi: hahaha, oh man my old employer is so fucked right now
Also me: Oh shit, our hospital is that organization, and I ended up working there because I worked at the hospital when they outsourced...
@ai6yr @hammancheez #hawkward
Hmm, apparently I should just copy/paste @hammancheez posts since they are no longer posting here for virality, LOL. (449 retoots and 675 likes so far today, which probably translates to a hundred thousand actual views or more -- based on the typical ratio of retweets/stars on the old birdsite).
