#Gaza #Palestine

Four prominent columnists have resigned from the Jewish Chronicle (JC) after it published stories about Israel and its war on Gaza that were allegedly “wild fabrications”.

The JC, which is the oldest Jewish newspaper in the UK, published several articles by a reporter named Elon Perry that it has now removed. They are alleged to contain fabricated quotes from Israeli officials.

#Gaza #Palestine

The Ministry of Health in Gaza released a shocking 649-page document on 16 September, providing the name, age, gender, and ID number of tens of thousands of people killed by Israel during 11 months of its genocide of Palestinians.

In the chaos of war, the ministry has managed to document the personal details of over 34,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, out of a total of at least 42,206 killed as of 31 August.

Today's plan: sign, box, and ship Total Paperback Mastery bundles to Kickstarter backers, plus ship the #ryoms auction winners.

Looking at this heap, I realize I did not think this through...

Leider kann sich die Presse immer nur auf ein Thema konzentrieren und aufgrund der latenten Krisenlage ist die Klimakrise leider kein Thema mehr, deswegen bitte hier weiterleiten - Danke :°)

I don’t love this recent design change to #AppleReminders where every section in a list has a new, empty item to denote creating a new task in that section, even if you aren’t editing the list (which I’m not here).

This feels like a massive waste of space and makes lists more tedious to read and use.

Super dislike, #Apple





Went to the yearly conference on zoom for the open source alternative to my employers product. It was honestly fascinating. The open source alternative is dying outside of government, despite a five year effort to replace it. My employer is on track to become a blatant monopoly within the US as all our competitors also die.

Får vi benytte lignende systemer til at overvåge og stoppe milliardærerne når de forsøger at undvige skatter?


My favorite energy analyst Gregor Macdonald’s latest newsletter is full of harsh realism about the state of the global energy business.
Tl;dr: There is a global surplus of fossil fuels, prices aren’t going to go up, it’s a lousy place to invest, but the much-hoped-for global decline isn’t here yet. If you want to join big-picture conversations about energy and you want to know what you’re talking about, this is a good read: coldeye.earth/p/fossil-fuel-ro…
in reply to Tim Bray

(Gregor's discussion fails to mention one key factor, probably because it is now conventional wisdom: A big reason for the softening demand for fossil fuels is China. Their economy is in rough shape and they're ahead of the world on the transition to renewables. Neither of these is expected to change in the near future.)

MacDonald is one of the follows from the before-times I miss most.


And just note

Kamala Harris campaigns even 2 events per day, packing stadiums of 20,000 people

Tim Walz does similar events up to 10,000 people

A day in Elon Musk’s mind:

145 tweets with election conspiracies and emojis

A controversial tweet may make it to the news, but reading every post from the world’s richest man shows how frenzied and extreme he really is

On August 13th, Musk posted over 145 times about a range of obsessions, projects and grievances to his 195 million followers
