Ishaan Tharoor: Hunger still stalks #Gaza: “I’ve never seen a crisis like this in my 25 years in humanitarian work,” a U.N. World Food Program regional director said of the increasingly insecure situation in Gaza.

"The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip remains catastrophic. Hunger and disease stalk the embattled territory, which has been devastated over 11 months of war. Israel continues to carry out strikes on alleged militant Hamas targets in supposed safe zones, invariably killing civilians caught in the crossfire. And relief organizations trying to help alleviate a desperate situation are still lamenting impediments to aid distribution, and security risks to their workers posed by Israeli troops and a morass of gangs that have emerged out of Gaza’s ruin."

Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old man who was arrested on Sunday in connection with what the F.B.I. described as an #attempted #assassination on former President Donald J. Trump, had expressed the desire to fight and die in Ukraine.

On the messaging application Signal, Mr. Routh wrote that “Civilians must change this war and prevent future wars” as part of his profile bio.

On WhatsApp, his bio read, “Each one of us must do our part daily in the smallest steps help support human rights, freedom and democracy; we each must help the chinese.”

Mr. Routh, a former roofing contractor from Greensboro, N.C., was interviewed by The New York Times in 2023 for an article about Americans volunteering to aid the war effort in Ukraine.

Mr. Routh, who had no military experience, said he had traveled to the country after Russia’s invasion and wanted to ⭐️recruit Afghan soldiers to fight in Ukraine

That's the problem with weird people: they attract other weird people. The irony, however, lies in the fact that what this - obviously quite deranged - individual communicates is as incoherent as the BS the american public had to endure now for over 9 years from Trump.

If you're argument is that an elite political police force is in fact "incapable of redemption" as you put it, the response should be to build strong social movements which can push back and resist repression, not hope the institution itself will be less bad. This is something we actually have control over and can do, as opposed to hoping the system reforms something that is working very much by design.

@wannabemystiker Ah, a spaceship vibe! I hadn’t thought of that, but yes. It kind of feels like that after dark, acoustically too.

@marypouy I am really sorry to see this. Of no practical use, I'm afraid, but I am sending good thoughts to you and to your sister. I hope too that things get better for her.

Neben den Stock-Enten gibt es natürlich auch nach Kundenwünschen gestaltete Enten, die hier abgebildeten sind also nur als allgemeine Muster zu verstehen.


I feel like a broken record over here, this needs to be understood the . .

"Yes, I am lying but there is a greater symbolic truth about the nation in that lie" is pretty fascist.



"I have been briefed by my team regarding what federal law enforcement is investigating as a possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today. A suspect is in custody, and I commend the work of the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners for their vigilance and their efforts to keep the former President and those around him safe." - President Biden in a statement

The suspect was armed (with a knife) and, allegedly, tasers were ineffective.. I still think there were better ways to handle this versus firing wildly and hitting innocent people and each other..

There are 3 Mario Brothers, not two. Mario and Luigi have a third brother. Let's examine the evidence.

Mario Mario (Mario is Mario's in-canon actual last name)
Occupation: plumber
Height: short
Weight: muscular (punches bricks)
Favorite color: red

Luigi Mario
Occupation: also plumber
Height: tall
Weight: slender (floaty jump)
Favorite color: green

Doctor Mario (first name unknown)
Occupation: doctor (not a plumber)
Height: average (does not need to eat a mushroom to already be about Luigi's height)
Weight: average (not slender like Luigi)
Favorite color: white (wears a doctor's outfit with no red cap)

In addition, all three brothers are Italian. And what are the colors of the Italian flag? That's right. Red, green, and white. Doctor Mario is the third brother in the Mario family.

I'm pretty happy to have switched this year after 10 years of primarily Ubuntu to Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 (LMDE6).

Updating to the latest LibreOffice took some effort, as did setting up the swap space.

My one big complaint is that the lock screen sometimes reveales what it should hide.
