🧵My jaw is still on the fucking floor after reading Jenn Counter’s “Rules of Offensive Influence” — an unapologetic playbook for psychological warfare — that is published on Columbia’s website.

I'm going to share some excerpts, then post the whole thing.

As you read, keep in mind, Counter serves as both a “Subject Matter Expert” for Safe Reach Solutions — the firm overseeing GHF’s operations in Gaza — and, according to Columbia's website, a “Course Associate” in the Strategic Communications department at the School of Professional Studies.

I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.

Image For starters, 2025 was "supposed to be a year of stabilization in the Gaza arena," and it has basically been a disaster. Image

I'm digging through one of the Columbia student antisemitism cases and found an IDF vet (Rubin) who says he fled campus because anti-Zionist stickers, pro-Palestine chants, and people saying Israel bombs hospitals made him feel unsafe Image

Hello. Did somebody say they needed a heartwarming story from the coronavirus era? Okay, fine.

Let me start by saying that I am not a particularly melodramatic guy, but I just don’t know how to tell this story without turning to pure mush. (1/11) For those who saw my post the other day… on Wednesday I went out for a walk in Domino Park after several days of feeling stir crazy and lonesome in my apt — in addition to everything going on, it’s been a rough few months for me personally. I HAD A TOUGH BREAKUP OKAY? (2/11)
