Same old cycle. Terrorists attack Israel, and public opinion rallies around them, and then Israel counterattacks, too viciously, and opinion swings against them enough to cause huge divisions among everyone else. And every generation thinks they’re the first to feel they care about the oppressed, but are powerless to help address the underlying causes of that oppression. So they just spew virtue signals at each other to feel better about it all, briefly. Humanity is just a hot mess.

Definitely time for something different in both countries - Conservative/Labour & Democrat and Republican feel very outdated in the 21st Century!

Things you should not apologize/say sorry for:
- that you speak non-english language
- that your content is not in english
- that your timezone is inconvenient for North Americans

Younger people may be surprised to learn that tens of millions protested the invasion of Iraq and the press basically ignored it.

@zleap @jacqui76 @harriettmb @Loukas Agree, but also, the west - the US and the UK in particular - need this as well.

As I said, it is about the right people at the right time, prepared to do the unthinkable for peace.
It is obvious to the world that Israel and Palestine isn't ready for that sadly.

@zleap the short answer is: domestic and international politics.

My dad just came into the room where I’m working and said:
“There’s a new person at work…He’s a she. I mean… She is a she… Now. We’re supposed to call her that now.”
[long pause]
“Anyway… I don’t care about this gender, pronoun, stuff. It’s not my business. All that matters is that she’s very helpful.”
[dad pauses thoughtfully]
“She’s a good colleague… Don’t understand all this fuss about people’s gender these days. She works hard and is always friendly. This media malarkey… About what’s in their pants. Don’t make sense to me.”
“These ‘journalists’ should spend a day with her and see the trans people are good and honest regular folk.”
Based dad???????????

BREAKING: Gaza is facing a near complete internet blackout right now, with no connectivity or mobile signals.
Internet analysis firms say the last connections went down this evening as Israel increases its ground operations. Humanitarian groups say it is impossible to get in touch with people in Gaza and families can’t contact loved ones. There are concerns the blackouts will hide atrocities on the ground.
Story here chronicling the last three weeks of internet loss and tonight’s developments.

Beginning to suspect things happen on friday because a lot of reporters are away during the weekend.
Maybe some journalistic outlets should shift their week two days..

@zleap absolutely! The van driver behind me didn’t appreciate it, but he had no choice but to go with the flow.

remember kids: the point of the html "class" attribute is to list out the explicit formatting of every element on your webpage.
CSS was supposed to split formatting from HTML! and it did.
now instead of horrible HTML like <font size="7" color="red">, we have CSS!
So our HTML can instead look like:
<div class="size-7 color-red">
note: you'll need to include a few hundred KB of CSS libraries to make this work properly, but that's the price we have to pay for elegance
