Book banning is alive and well. And it's bad enough. But a DICTIONARY? Come on, man! :( truthout.org/articles/the-righ…

"Even the dictionary is now too subversive because it does, after all, contain the words “racism,” “sex” and “transgender.”
Fittingly, I guess, I have no words - just a cold clutching of the stomach, & a brief feeling that I might throw up.

> The Escambia school district in Florida even issued a ban “pending investigation” of — wait for it — Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary. Even the dictionary is now too subversive because it does, after all, contain the words “racism,” “sex” and “transgender.”
My wife and I bought that dictionary for our children. It's a good one. It's no wonder #Floridians didn't like it.

The Israeli military is significantly increased its attacks across the Gaza strip. Killing at least 60 Palestinians.
Air strikes targeted Gaza City in the north and Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
In a ground operation in Khan Younis in the south, Israeli forces killed at least 30 people. 12 of them from one family.
Medical sources say the Israeli army prevented paramedics and civil defence teams from reaching the bomb sites.

Global benchmarks for oil prices were steadily rising on Wednesday, a day after Iran fired a barrage of missiles against Israel in retaliation for the Israeli army's offensive against Hezbollah.
In this edition, FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin explains why this could change the trajectory of global oil prices, how the world's energy supply could be affected and what this could mean for the global economy.

Why do I still use "ifconfig" even though it's deprecated under #Linux?
Because "ip addr show" is just too much typing! I'm an old-school user, I like my commands short, sweet, and to the point. Besides, "ifconfig" still works, so why change? It's like using a rotary phone... sure, it's outdated, but it still makes calls!
But seriously, you should probably learn ip properly one of these days... cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-ip-com…

exactly this. "ip" breaks convention, is too verbose on input and being a swiss army knife instead of a specific tool, it is forgettable too.
The human mind CAN remember the intrinsics of a specific tool (ifconfig for interface configuration, so we know all about ifconfig. Route for routes, so we know "all" about route. And so on. But bundle it all up in one and we know little to nothing as it gets all souped up in the grey matter.
Learning from the masters.
Doin' the same again and again will change nothing. All the horror in the world is made by people who follow orders and obey the low! Improvisation and music is the art of knowing the LAW and accepting them then BREAK IT!
For the experts: there were two major musical revolutions in the last century. On the one hand, jazz with blues and rock 'n' roll (and all the way to pop music) and the Russian or Soviet avant-garde, starting with Tchaikovsky and continuing to Shostakovich.

Right, the black patches on traditional soccer balls are pentagons and not hexagons. It is mathematically impossible to extend this pattern of all hexagons to the full soccer ball.
As for whether it is funny... meh. I "get it," but I don't find it particularly funny. New Yorker cartoons sometimes have that type of humor where they go for a clever and surprising twist on reality—with mixed success on how funny it is. For me they sometimes yield the reaction, "that's funny" (said with an internal deadpan voice) rather than a laugh, "hahahaha."
@andrewt @ColinTheMathmo @mina @standupmaths What about this abomination from a children's book. Completely unforgivable!
