Very apt for Halloween, looks like a witch on a broom stick :)

An owl stole a child's stick horse and flew around with it.

Calling humans animals (as members of Netenyahu's government have done) is an INSULT to animals,

Israeli Civil society and #HumanRights groups call on the international community to stop the ongoing #EthnicCleansing in the #WestBank taking place under the cover of the #GenocideinGaza

I would how today's Billionaires would survive if transported to the star trek universe, As far as I understand there is no money

Captain Picard said in ST First Contact, humans are driven by exploration and the pursuit of knowledge.

I am am not sure if there is an episode of TOS that covers money etc. The one reference I can think of is in ST IV The voyage home where they need money so Kirk Sells his glasses.

So they leave money in bank, transport to the 24th century to find rather than accrued interest they have zero money.

The International Ultraviolet Explorer observer's control panel. IUE was the first large UV space telescope, and it was operated like a classical ground telescope. Observers would travel to the control room and take an active part in running the observation. Apparently (from talking with ppl who used it) this was a total mess, and not followed with subsequent space telescopes.

Netanyahu's orders are abhorrent, & many are war crimes, he needs to go:

"Testimonies and documents: Palestinians arrested in Jerusalem were severely beaten by police officers and prison guards."

@Itty53 @matthewtoad43 @scottsantens We need more non-profits & cooperatives. Our economic model focuses on for-profit corporations, but it is precisely the for-profit model that is guilty of rent-seeking behavior. Cooperatives in particular resolve a lot of those problems by (1) aligning incentives, since the would-be rent payers and rent seekers are the same group, and (2) democratizing both the control of the organization and the payout of any earnings.

The parallels between UBI and cooperatives is interesting, too. If you think of the entire national economy as a cooperative endeavor to provide material needs and wants to citizens, then a UBI is analogous to the dividend paid out on that to the shareholders.

From a pediatrician in Gaza: "When the generators fall silent, we will be relegated to practicing medieval-level medicine. Without an urgent resupply of fuel, the lights will go out permanently, and our hospital could turn into a morgue." Gift link: nytimes.com/2023/10/29/opinion

Dear Benjamin Netenyahu

Was it your intention to inflict such TERROR on innocent civilians.?

@realTuckFrumper

Another shooting, why would any terror group attack the USA? You keep having mass shootings. May as well leave you to wipe yourselves out.

People who stop entirely within the crosswalk should lose their license.

A hill I will die on (one of many):

Strangers are not entitled to a child’s diagnosis regardless of what day it is. Halloween is supposed to be fun for the children, even if they don’t say “trick or treat.” Just give them the candy!

Indeed, i guess the conspiracy lot are drawn to people who are successful as they see a way to boost their narrative, even if this is based on anti science.
