Jesus fucking shit... a Palestinian speaking for Palestine gets canceled by playboy.

Obviously if she supported Hamas i might be ok with that. But her comments were in support of Palestine, not hamas, and she herself **is a Palestinian**...

For the record these are the comments she made that playboy directly mentioned were the reason for dropping her:

“If you can look at the situation in Palestine and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time.”

“I can’t believe the Zionist apartheid regime is being brought down by guerrilla fighters in fake Gucci shirts — the biopics of these moments better reflect that.”

“I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books that write about how how they freed themselves from apartheid.”

This was playboys official statement in response as to why they canceled her:

“We are writing today to let you know of our decision to terminate Playboy’s relationship with Mia Khalifa, including deleting Mia’s Playboy channel on our creator platform,” the company wrote in a message to users (via Daily Mail). “Over the past few days, Mia has made disgusting and reprehensible comments celebrating Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the murder of innocent men, women and children. At Playboy, we encourage free expression and constructive political debate, but we have a zero tolerance policy for hate speech. We expect Mia to understand that her words and actions have consequences.”

Are you from outer space?

No, I'm from Chile. I just work in outer space.

@reclaimthenet Is it just me or is this a word for word copy of the same letter sent to Twitter/X/Musk this week?

@andypiper

I dont use vercel normally either. I used vercel for the first time for this project and liked it.

To answer your question it depends if you want full features or not.

Witout vercel you wont have the serverless functions. They handle things like accepting new followers. So without vercel (or something to take its place) then people can see your account via the fediverse but following it wouldnt really work (you wouldnt see new posts in your feed and your follow request will never get accepted)... but otherwise it will "work" with limited functionality.

That said the serverless functions can be moved to any platform.

You could in theory get rid of the serverless functions and make it all truely static. If you did that (which would take a bit of coding) then theonly time followers would get confirmed would be when you push a new version of the site.. but otherwise you could, in theory, get the full functionality out of it. with some creativity.

@rml

Excellent context... a lot of that is new to me but some of it not. Regardless this is a great share of info, thanks.

I would just point out that the Arab Revolts of the 30s were due to groups like the Irgun lead by Ze'ev Jabotinsky committing atrocities against Palestinians. Zionists did not show up in any friendly capacity, ever. Zionists explicitly called for, in their words, the colonization of Palestine, from the 1899 Zionist Congress in Baltimore, and thats what they went and did.

Many Hasidim migrated to Palestine and were resolutely, religiously opposed to Zionism until after the Shoah. and they did not seek to colonize Palestinians. and with every Palestinian uprising, tens of thousands of "Israelis" leave. Estimates suggest that between 50 - 70% of Israliens have a foreign passport; those people will all leave. Much of the Haredim will remain, but not the neo-orthodox, which is a weird and larpy thing genocidal secular jews get into in order to become extremists. and the largest Hasidic groups such as Satmar remain strict anti-zionist, and over 50% don't recognize Israel because its clearly an abberation of the Torah.

but most secular liberal zionists are too racist to stay. they want to be White. the zionist dream is to become independent White Europeans who get to lead a scramble for africa of our own.

on the other hand, when it becomes Palestine, I will move there. because a lot of my best friends are Palestinian and I will be able to find decent work and enjoy decolonized palestine and the amazing country and culture they have. I live in Hanoi, Viet Nam, which is the coolest, most properly sovereign decolonial country I've ever been to, and I hope Nablus will one day be the Hanoi of the future.

@rml

For me there is a huge issue with giving land to someone based on race, particularly a group that is 2000+ years removed.. I mean genetically the jews of today are probably very far removed, in part due to them being dispersed.

Its problematic at best.

@freemo @rml I didn’t know this was your position. I’d like to see this too.

@realcaseyrollins

Oh, yes the way it should have happened is palestine should have integrated the jews naturally. If they had (Rather than jews taking land and creating their own country) we would already have a one state solution and that would be great.

But yea my solution has always been a one-state one where both groups have equal rights, vote, right to return, etc.

@rml

@freemo I'm a BDS activist, so don't take this as an attempt to back up zionist narratives, but Jews have recorded history in Palestine wrt to the Jewish-Roman Wars, which saw their expulsion, and Samaritan Jews have had a continued presence in Nablus since ~100BC, and still do today (they are few, maybe 300, but I've been to their village -- they are Palestinians. and yes they are Jews, just not Rabbinical jews; the Pentateuch is Torah, with some key differences).

whether we Ashkenazis have roots in Palestine, I believe just vague traces at the genetic level due to marriages with Sephardic and maybe some Samaritans as well, but from what I understand we're the product of assyrian jews migrating to central asia and marrying with caucasian and turkic tribes, some of which converted to Judaism, and continued migrating westward, eventually settling among germanic tribes in the area that spans from today's Belarus to Estonia.

@rml

I am in no way claiming jews didnt live in the area in anctient times. I think that is well established for sure.

I would say its very reasonable to say palestine was the original home to jews and arabs, and any fair right of return should be a home to both..

I do not beleive in Palestine for the arabs or jews for israel... I beleive in one nation for both since both groups have roots in the land and people should be welcomed to the land they have ancestry from.

Sounds like we mostly agree.

@MariaLiv

I dont think so, a plugin for what exactly? You mean the older wordpress plugin?

@pfefferle

So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.

It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.

One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!

@realcaseyrollins

Funny thing is, in some ways crips and bloods get along more... like its not unheard of for a crip or a blood to be hanging out together at a party or even be friends.

@smallcircles
