The Israeli army barred a Palestinian ministerial delegation from visiting Jenin city on Thursday amid a major military operation in the northern West Bank.

"The delegation was obstructed by the Israeli army from reaching Jenin for two hours,” the government’s media office said in a statement.

Jenin Governor Kamal Abu al-Rub said early Thursday that Israeli army forces were besieging the municipality building.

Heavy rain is moving across... the Sahara Desert? 🤔

Mali and Mauritania are experiencing unusually high levels of rainfall right now.

This may be one reason why the Atlantic has had so few hurricanes so far. Tropical waves, which often develop into hurricanes, have not been emerging as strongly from central Africa... 🧵

@failedLyndonLaRouchite Yes, it was expected to be a hyperactive season. There’s still time…


It is the considered opinion of the #WashingtonPost Editorial Board that American oligarchs should be allowed to foment fascist insurrections in South American countries and then ignore any efforts by the governments of those countries to hold them accountable for it and prevent it from happening again. 🤦
I guess that's pretty consistent with historical U.S. foreign policy. 🤷

“Follow the money” as the Post used to say. WaPo sees its own increasingly rightward tilt - in the interest of increasing “engagement” to profit from - potentially threatened. All speech, including intentional disinformation, must be protected speech in their view (as long as “journalists” are the gatekeepers and can lazily continue to use X for their reporting.)


Mobile phones are not linked to brain cancer, according to a major review of 28 years of research - Via @TheConversationUS - theconversation.com/mobile-pho… - Glad to see this one put to bed.

Firefish is going away. What's notable, to me is how common the things in Naskya's goodbye message are for #OpenSource maintainers of popular things: no help for maintenance, or future features, abuse because some devs think it's ok to threaten & insult maintainers when they don't like something about their FREE software.

Open Source Maintainers are people. They need help, support, and respect if you want them to be able to keep making the thing you want them to make.

Und noch einmal was zu Nemo: Das Menü lässt sich über Bearbeiten/Einstellungen/Werkzeugleiste anpassen.
Hilfreich finde ich "Im Terminal öffnen" - damit wird der aktuelle Ordner im Terminal geöffnet.

(Klappt natürlich auch über das Kontextmenü - aber wenn man einen Klick sparen kann ... ;-) ).

I still #AmReading Madhulika Liddle's "An Unholy Drought" and this comment from one of the characters shows the writer having fun with history.

"Perhaps, a hundred years from now, no one will even remember the name of Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar"

Not one hundred years later, but nearly FIVE hundred years later, Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar is of course, well remembered. As in this catchy panegyric from Jodhaa Akbar
