At least eight Palestinians were killed in airstrikes by Israeli warplanes targeting two homes in Gaza City on late Thursday and early Friday, according to local sources.

In the Zeitoun and Al-Sabra neighborhoods of Gaza City, Israeli artillery shelled homes and civilian property, while helicopters fired rounds, according to witnesses.

The Israeli army also demolished homes near the Nitsarim Axis south of Gaza City.

Just want we want in our leaders: men who say mass murders of children are a "fact of life" we should just lump because they won't do a damned thing about it.
JD Vance calls reality of school shootings a bleak ‘fact of life’ washingtonpost.com/politics/20…
in reply to Jeff Jarvis

Two words for JV Vance and they're not happy birthday.

Increasing gun safety laws decreases gun violence. This is a fact.

Banning military style weapons for civilians means this 14 year old could not have been given an AR15 for his damn birthday by his gun culture run amok father and could not have used it to shoot and kill 4 people and injure 9 more.

This is just plain common sense of which Vance has none.

in reply to Jeff Jarvis

This is why we can't allow abortion to be legal: we'd run out. Because it's a fact of life that we can't do anything about.

It all makes sense when you think of it in systemic terms.

Sigh.



A couple of days ago, I finally finished moving the last of my stuff into my new home. As anyone who has done this before will understand, I didn't get much else done for the past week or so. So now I'm preparing to triage the backlog that's piled up.

More details here;

I just did a tally, and worked out that this is my 43rd home. I'm not including all the places I've stayed, even for weeks or months. Just the ones I've actually called home. 43. Phew!

Living in China for 2 years showed me exactly what it's like to live in a country where people lack the basic civil liberties we take for granted in liberal democracies. To the point of wondering if we even have them when capitalists make significant progress on undermining them by stealth.

We do have them, but they're not a given, and we can't afford to take them for granted. We need to use them to defend them, at every opportunity.

@strypey While it's is free in the sense that I could try to start something up myself, much of the US media (and I'm sure in other countries as well) has been bought up by large conglomerates to mainly control the communication and manufacture consent. I didn't have the resources to "roll my own" for every compromised aspect of life here.

Anything to win.

It is the fall of 1968.

Republican presidential nominee Richard Nixon’s early lead in the polls is evaporating.

Vice President Hubert Humphrey, his Democratic opponent, is steadily gaining ground.

And President Lyndon Johnson is pursuing negotiations which would end the Vietnam War, the number one issue in the campaign.

But Nixon is determined to win.

#IsraelWarCrimes

Israeli troops left the occupied West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp on Friday after a more than weeklong operation that has claimed dozens of lives.

As Israeli tanks drove out of the city, civilians were seen returning to their homes.

The refugee camp is seen by Israel as a bastion for Palestinian armed groups, and its latest military operation in the territory is considered to be the deadliest since the start of its war against Hamas.

Jordanian Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi: Any attempt to displace "Palestinians" from the West Bank to Jordan is tantamount to a declaration of war on #Jordan.


This MFer haven't said or done anything to condemn or stop the Israeli crimes against Palestinians in occupied west bank, but his only concern is that some of them may try to flee to Jordan to seek safety.

Jordan is nothing but a disgusting Israeli enabler and supporter who's help to keep Israeli economy floating have been one of the reasons #Israel been able to function in the past 11 months of ongoing #genocide.

I recently got myself a #R36S box which is really a cute #Linux system. Of course, I had to program it, which was actually quite easy, using either #python or #cpp with #sdl2 . The programs can easily be plugged in to #emulatorstation running on the device. I did the editing using #tramp from #emacs over #SSH Here are some screenshots. I thought about writing a post describing the experience if there is interest.
