Can someone actually make sense of this lunacy? Is it true that 99% of drones intercepted by israel? And this concludes Iranian response lmao

Them announcing the start and end of the attack is pretty sus, i'm pretty sure they just used this opportunity to test/exhaust their defensive munitions.

Hope its true, i absolutely despise their "invincible" posturing. Media is silent about this as usual.

I said a couple of days ago that I was questioning whether I would go to Eurovision in Concert. Well, the protest was during my work and couldn't go. And since I already had a ticket, it decided 'fuck it, let's go to a concert'.

I hope everyone is having a good day today : )

Anything nice or interesting going on in your lives?

MY FOOTBALL (S*CCER) TEAM IS GOING TO BECOME CHAMPION FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2018 SO EVERY WEEKEND IS A PARTY UNTIL ITS OFFICIAL

Also, I wilm be moving soon to a different part of the city with a lot of parks surrounding it. I went to visit it today but the sun was out in full force and I burned myself. My gf's father came to visit and we had a nice day with interesting discussion. I talked a lot about Manufacturing Consent with him, which was great. He also was very interested in my copy of Motorcycle Diaries. We went to diner to close the day. It was a good day.

I don't think "Israel doesn't actually keep Jews safe" is a compelling or effective anti-zionist/pro-Palestine argument. It doesn't matter whether so-called 'israel' keeps Jews safe. If it did 'keep Jews safe,' that wouldn't justify zionist settler-colonialism and genocide.

To be honest, I feel like throughout this Nakba I cared too much about foreign Jews and not enough about the Palestinian gentiles, and a lot of that simply has to do with my gravitation towards Jewish cultures. There are other reasons: expectations that the devastation is already familiar to you, and my desire to avoid focussing on depressing news too much, but whether either of those is a good excuse I can’t tell. While appealing to self‐interest is generally a good idea, at the end of the day, this is (and should be) all about the Palestinians, not the foreign Jews on their stolen lands. I feel like my coverage has been unbalanced and without good reason, too.

On the other hand, skimming my submission history it doesn’t look like I neglected the Palestinian side that much, so maybe I’m being too hard on myself.

A few years ago, the bus service in my town made massive cuts to routes and frequency, making the buses pretty much completely useless to me, I really miss taking the bus places

But you know what I'm actually finding I miss the most about it? Having an excuse to actually get some reading done, I have an e-reader and being on the bus was the perfect time for me to use it, these days I rarely touch it because I have trouble focusing on that at home for various reasons, the bus trips were just long enough I could get some decent reading done and the small size and weight of my e-reader made it very convenient to do so, while using other devices was often inconvenient

I almost never read through books, and that bothers me, especially since it means I'm really limiting myself in my understanding of theory, I basically had to fight myself to even get through a good chunk of State and Revolution, I don't think I ever actually finished reading it

I've had a ticket for the Eurovision in Concert preparty since before the genocide after 7th of October started, but I've been questioning if I should go. Israel's participant is not performing there, thats why I'm on the fence but I'm still leaning more towards not going. On the other hand, I already have the ticket, so it doesn't matter if I go but there will also be a protest at the venue and I know that some of my acquainted comrades will be there and I don't want them to think I support it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

it would probably be more satisfying to join the protest instead
and you'd be experiencing roughly the same level of noise

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, been thinking about it. That's probably what I'm going to do. Plus it will be a nice story telling them I actually have a ticket but decided not to go.

Oh I remember you talking about him before he also did some sexual harassment

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

He did. He also tried to bully journalists into not publishing the things he said during his racist rant. Left wing icon.

I saw this comedy sketch this morning and it got me thinking it's similar to how libs see China just trading with developing countries and denounce it as some kind of nefarious 'dept trap diplomacy'

Ugh… reading this brought back some unpleasant memories from my own youth.

I am guessing that they were silent because it should have been pretty obvious that if anybody tried sneaking around, it was highly likely that a patroller or a guard would have spotted them and shot their ass off, and these grandparents gave this kid the silent treatment because it was less rude than yelling or insulting him. Still, I became more depressed reading this.

reddit logo users are harassing a trans person in the freedesktop organization for banning a well known bad actor from contributing, the guy who made hyprland, who encourages and participates in queerphobic harassment, especially against trans people

It's especially infuriating because previously people had reasonable discussions on /r/linux about how ridiculously shitty this guy is, but now pretend as if the accusations are completely unfounded, or pretend it doesn't matter (the usual defense is "it's his personal Discord, how can you ban him for stuff he does there??"), along with the usual complaints about "ideology infiltrating Linux" (this is especially hilarious seeing how many of these people also worship Richard Stallman), as well as the typical redditor idea that rules lawyering is perfectly valid because "debate" and any use of common sense moderation is "power tripping"

But all he has to do is say "Red Hat Bad!!" (this isn't even a Red Hat thing really) and write a few one-sided blog posts directly naming and shaming and everyone goes nuts

Words can't describe how upset I am at this situation, people like this are the absolute lowest scum of the Linux and free software community

Do you think they even realize how many of the people who write the software they rely on are queer 🤔

It's wild that Elon is currently beefing up with the head of the judiciary system here in Brasil, lol. I hope twitter is blocked in the process, it would be a blessing for everyone's mental health.
