Childish genocidal #ApartheidIsrael's hovering #drones: #Palestinians subjected to anguish of #surveillance
#FreePalestineNow 🇵🇸
Far from childish, it is in fact a torture, recognized as so, called "white torture".
Preventing people from sleeping by blasting heavy bass sounds or interference-like noises, 24/7.
Instilling fear as they do with the drones.
Their agenda is crystal clear, they want to push so far that one day, so is going to lose a plot and make a stupid suicide-bombing.
Thus, Israel govt be like "see, se these animals...we told you," and the world will again be in doubt on it's support to Palestine.
This is a gruesome plan, but we know what to expect from fascists and nazis-like methods.
Wow. using mental torture to drive people to desperate acts then the abusers can point fingers and use the desperate acts to their advantage.
I didn't know that.
So, it's not just dangerous, evil enormous overgrown toddlers just doing 'what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-you' shit that's incredibly torturous 'just because'.
Oh yeah, no doubt this is one of the main reasons they are doing everything they can ( the #IOF ) to drive people insane.
They know, it is going to happen some day, they hope it will be soon cause this "war" (slaughter) has already driven the international community to an almost unanimous support of Palestine.
Only a bloody and horrible attack on Israeli civilians could revert the bottom-down PR of Israel right now.
I wouldn't be surprise the Mossad would execute one eventually, like it has been proven they've done numerous times : attacking and killing Israeli citizens to justify an army intervention or passing of a harshe law.
I can tell you I have such a tremendous admiration for the Palestinians, enduring these daily attempts to break them nervously, but here they are.
Up, proud even though hurt in their flesh, and above all, keeping their temper not to prove their Torturers when calling them "scum of the earth" or "human animals".
Honestly, if the human race spent as much time making the world a better place as spent coming up with dangerous bonkers harmful bullshit, all of us 🌍 would be living well.
If only they'd spend (humans in a whole) just 1/100 of ingenuity and money they put into building arms and surveillance, the world would be a heaven.
You are SO right bro' :(

happy 10th birthday, ActivityPub! 🎉🎉

The obvious choice for ActivityPub’s birthday would be the 23rd of January 2018 - the day it was annointed as a W3C recommendation. That doesn’t seem quite right though - its not as if the spec came into existence in any sense upon that date. In fact, Mastodon implemented it before thne.There are several possible dates you might pick, but for me it will always be September 5th 2014 - when I committed the first sketch of a specification I called ActivityPump [github.com] and pushed it to Github
It wouldn’t be until November that I actually submitted (a revised and enhanced version of) that draft to the working group, but even then I had the very nucleus of the specification written down.
Happy 10th birthday, ActivityPub. 🍰

Toute cette bande des jeunes loups du PS des mid 80's : les Camba, Désir, Dray, tous ces arrivistes qui ont fait un mal incroyable à la gauche.

L’ancien patron du PS a été reconnu mercredi coupable de détournements de fonds publics. Il se servait de l’argent censé couvrir ses frais de député pour un usage personnel : voyages, abonnement à Canal+, amendes... C’est la troisième condamnation de sa vie pour atteinte à la probité.

in reply to Jeff Jarvis • • •They could, but fact checking would require investigative reporters ...and those are expensive.
Cheaper and faster to say "critics say..." even though things like the voter fraud myth are easily debunked with existing analyses.

Of course if you look in the newspaper archives, I'm sure you could just find a real NYT headline from the 30s to that effect.

in reply to Jeff Jarvis • • •This is pretty tame compared to other recent NYT headlines. At least they included "False" in the headline.
The subheading is textbook both sides, though.
