I’m a Teenager In Gaza. And I Am Starving. What hits you first is the exhaustion carved into every face. The sickly pallor. The terrifying weight loss ravaging everyone—yes, including me.

Oh, I like this because it helps people pronounce the Greek word. So sick of "guy-row"

Tell Klöckner: Stop the rainbow ban! Klöckner sends police to remove rainbow flags from Parliament. This isn’t neutrality – it’s queer erasure.

Wow, so this would get rid of the bird-killing problem? I'm not against wind turbines, but this is real and they must be sited correctly, whether in water or on land.

This is so crazy. Words the US government can no longer use. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

And they would lose those nice retirement benefits as well as most of their paid vacation days.

But they are "Canada geese" not Canadian. We have plenty here, thank you.

Me too. I can't believe how fast it's happening. I'm in shock.

magic words!

But wasn't that a setting that the viewer controlled?
