I don't need innocent Palestinian civilians to support LBGTQ rights in order for me to support their human rights anymore than I need American conservatives to support LGBTQ rights in order to support their human rights.

Human rights are not earned. All are entitled to them.

Back from #Iran, and busy processing #photos. Working on #Kashan atm, struck by the elegance of the Agha Bozorg Masjid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agha_Bozorg_Mosque?wprov=sfla1

While parts of it date back 700 years, it was mostly constructed in the 1700s, and is noted for its bare domes and symmetry.

Yay, just came home to catch the end of the transmission from #saq The historic longwave transmitter located at Grimeton, transmitting on 17.2 kHz

There was a better article specific to the history of navigation, but I can't find it now. It was a horrible pain in the ass to do ESPECIALLY while at sea, and then it was discovered there was discrepancy related to distance which led to a better estimation of the speed of light. This was just about the time seaworthy time pieces came online.

BTW, I'm using a link to your photo for flerf discussion, among other such images. It boggles my mind how one can't just use a pair of binoculars to make observations that shut down flerf, but people are weird like that.

I am unable to read a Motorola ION using Radio Management https://bit.ly/3EUc53I

"Backed with US weapons and munitions, Israel has dropped over ten thousand bombs in Gaza in just a week, twice as many as the US dropped in Afghanistan in a year and, according to UN sources, the equivalent to a quarter of a nuclear bomb."

A quarter of a nuclear bomb worth of explosives in one week. Let that sink in.

Except that socialism (the real kind, the near-communism kind, not the european kind which is still capitalist) has had an abysmal track record when it comes to the environment. Worse than capitalism in fact.

@NikaShilobod

they should do this on a theatre stage, with a narrator, and a group of men in identically coloured spandex suits and they shout excitedly as they turn around to face another guy who comes running in wearing a big magnet costume.

Outside of that one beretta I dont think Ive seen a pistol that looks more like it belongs in the hands of a star wars character.
