Israel never ceases fire. And even if it did, it would still be carrying out military occupation, apartheid, mass arrests, land theft & more. Boycott Israel. Divest from Israel. Sanction Israel. Genocide is an active project & we are complicit. Action is the only way forward

’’mandatory” service charge seems to have replaced tips entirely - I’m not totaly against it, but it’s worth recognising what it is - prices are kept artificially low in restaurants via labour Intensification and wage stagnation - the service charge is the pay-rise being moved to the customer

them without help. Aftonbladet's investigation shows how the Foreign Ministry downplayed the

someone has written in large black letters. Around the text: an Israeli flag and an erect
penis. The bag was confiscated by the Israeli military from the boat - and returned to her like this. She
laughs.
- They're like five-year-olds!

- They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me.
Greta laughs.
- Then they ripped off my frog hat, threw it on the ground, stomped and kicked it, and kind of threw a tantrum.
- They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. 'A special place for a special lady', they said. And then they had learned 'Lilla hora' (Little whore) and 'Hora Greta' (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time.

Greta Thunberg was beaten and tortured by the Israelis. They learned how to call her a whore in Swedish, and forced her to wear the Israeli flag.

The Swedish foreign ministry abandoned its citizens in Israel, and downplayed what they went through.

"The case is proceeding."

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says the US-backed agreement to end Israel's war on Gaza will have no bearing on his country’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

β€˜My daughter gets homesick when she goes to nursery – opp... More surprising still are the random objects she clings to for emotional support

My 3yo daughter leads to my discovery of the quantum theory of homesickness: missing us while attending a nursery 15 feet from - and directly opposite - our front door.

Meeting with your neighbors and other people and your general community just to learn about each other is, I think, a better place to begin.

researchers kept finding one type of ant in another type's colonies. turns out the queen of one species was mating with the other species, storing their sperm, *cloning them*, and using it to create a hybrid race to populate their worker caste

someone converted a PNG into a spectrogram, played it to a starling, and it copied it back well enough that they could recover the picture from the spectrogram!

If you're worrying about what you may or may not be permitted to say or express under these new measures, just remember that supporters of the IDF don't have to worry about this sort of thing at all. They can declare their support for those murdering bastards as clearly and loudly as they like.
