⚡“A Justice Plan, Not a Peace Plan”

Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha delivers a stark, personal testimony at the 2025 UN Day of Solidarity, recounting his family’s displacement and the deaths of loved ones in Gaza. 💔

So, so long.

The furveillance state.

YouTube video by Quds News Network Flooding of Gazans' tents

"With Israeli occupation continuing to prevent the entry of proper shelter materials & blocking the return of displaced families, the humanitarian situation is becoming increasingly catastrophic.

100 000s of families were flooded in their tents due to heavy rain..."

Also from Sameer: “The Civil Defense in Gaza received 3,500 calls in the last hours and the Sameer Project received hundreds of calls and messages. Hundreds of camps flooded and dozens have been completely destroyed.” Please donate!!!!

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

I sync Quicken, reconcile my accounts, and update my cash-flow spreadsheet every weekend, but I am fully aware that this qualifies as absurdly extreme behavior. I know this by the reaction I get if I ever happen to mention this to normal people.

This is why measles is so scary, every infected person infects 10-20 other people.

I am obsessed with Lord Pickles.

"the working man" what is this the 1920s?

Good answers on the data constraints aspect (enums), but as a user I also find them to be generally more efficient than free text. In the states example, I can tab into the dropdown field, hit the "t" twice for Texas, and I'm done.

New Turing test: can the AI tell you how many tablespoons are in a pint.

It's dismaying how many people don't understand that every attempt at building a socialist society has been violently undermined by all the capitalist world powers. It's been so successfully couched in the language of defending freedom, democracy, etc. that most people never question it.

‘Dangerous and scary’: how a US special forces vet helped María Corina Machado flee Venezuela Bryan Stern recounts hazardous night mission that provided perfect cover for Venezuelan opposition leader’s escape

They're sure working hard to make this gusano into a heroic figure. It's like they hired a hack screenwriter to script it, and Bari Weiss to publicize it.

Lol: “The US government did not contribute a single penny to this operation, at least not that I know of,” Stern said.

Wagers definitely works too.

Well I guess the overwrought gimmickry of it is at least appropriate.

I'm at a loss to imagine what it's supposed to represent or evoke. Lives upended? Warped values? Poor quality workmanship resulting from insufficient material incentives?

And do they expect normal people to even know how to extract EXIF metadata from JPEG files, let alone do it for all their photos?

I had a 2000 Saab 9-5 wagon for 16 years and it was a fabulous car. Luxurious, drove like a sport sedan and had tons of cargo space. I'd have bought another if they still made them.

Everyone forgets when Tickle Me Elmo would quote from Mao's Little Red Book.

"It is only by the power of the gun that the working class and the laboring masses can defeat the armed bourgeoisie and landlords" he would whisper, and then giggle maniacally.

Olaf's nose is right there.

My lord, F Troop was one of the most problematic shows ever. Even as a young child I knew there was something very wrong about it.

Headline from CBS News: "Inside the very tense, very wet secret mission to get María Corina Machado out of Venezuela"

Um everything ok over there Bari?

You're an anti-abortion dogmatist so of course you're also opposed to IVF. Just don't pretend it's because you care about women or families.

Yeah, women have never been pressured to carry children in other scenarios. Genetic testing and abortions happen regardless of the method of fertilization. Everything you list is not unique to IVF, and of course happens far more frequently with in utero fertilization.

You should do more reading in biology, this is fantasy, at least at this point. And there is nothing done during an IVF-initiated pregnancy that doesn't also apply to an in utero one.

That's all I could think of, those kids who really *need* it. "Pick up a sport or read a book" is both out of touch and cruel.

I don't know, seems like 3 feces bags is pretty minimal. I can imagine a number of scenarios where you'd be happy to have a few more on hand.

The removable cervix is cool though. Seems like that could be very convenient, for abortions and stuff. Maybe we should get Sergey Brin working on that.

Is she also fond of tongue-twisting headlines?

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Israa. Israa is the mother of four children Adam, 10, Omer, 8, Muhammad, 6 and little Wateen who is 2. Omer has developmental disabilities due to having Meningitis and Wateen has Downs Syndrome and is very underweight. They could use your help
