The Jewish Supremacist regime carried out a pogrom in the villages around Nablus yesterday. This isn't “loss of control”. This is exactly what Israeli control looks like. The settlers carry out the attack, the military secures it, the politicians back it. It’s a synergy. >

Watch the video, Israeli settlers are burning Palestinian houses, cars. Trees and shops in Huwara village near Nablus, the Israeli settlers are escorted by the Israeli army.
Palestinian has no protections.
I'm sharing just this, but the whole thread is just flabbergasting... I did have to look up the word to make sure it denotes what I mean

It's worth mentioning, computational models of facial beauty seems to be quite a thing in Hong Kong, China, and Korea (though that might just be the rabbit holes that I got lost in a few years ago). It's pretty wild.

The EU required companies to disclose their owners, helping reveal countless cases of corruption — but a Luxembourg businessman filed a lawsuit that overturned the rule.
We investigated who he is — and why he might have an interest in corporate secrecy. https://www.occrp.org/en/beneficial-ownership-data-is-critical-in-the-fight-against-corruption/this-luxembourg-businessman-got-europes-corporate-registries-shut-down-but-whose-privacy-was-he-protecting#story--https-cdn-occrp-org-projects-zipper-flourish-en-story-1824743-index-html-slide-0

The furnaces of the world are now burning 2 billion tons of coal a year. When this is burned.. it adds about 7 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere..
This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the earth and raise its temperature.

My op ed about the last days of Twitter is out. It was sad to reflect on all that could have been.

Here's the chart that really matters.
Average Mastodon posts per month are going up.
Here's a comparison:
* Sept 2022: ~460M posts
* Dec 2022: ~573M posts
* Feb 2022 (so far): ~678M posts
This is a dramatic upswing in posts, and indicates that activity on Mastodon is continuing to increase.
The chart tells the story. The jump is dramatic.

One lesson connected to ChatGPT is that reliable pple aren't those who have good answers in general, but those who answer ONLY things they know v. well.
When lost, you'd rather get no direction than a wrong one.
Real doctors let you know what is outside their expertise.
