Today's theme is Normal!

You can take this test to see how "Normal" you are, and also how radically left wing you are! LOL Please share the results if you feel like it, or do nothing at all, because it really doesn't matter!

Being neutral on starvation means people get starved. Being neutral on genocide means people get exterminated.

This is so you know what academics and journalists who are framing their neutrality as the high road are doing.

unless the drive for peace comes from ordinary Israelis & Palestinians who want to move forward without the failed leaderships all you will get is more death

Before you follow anyone after creating your account, fill out you profile, it doesn't have to be much, 4 or 5 hashtags about your interests to start with.

here in the fediverse following ppl without any info in your profile just gets you muted or blocked by many

"Repaired" my old Thinkpad X41, updated Debian and installed Emacs 29.2 via Backports. It's really slow, but looks great and I really missed the trackpoint.

X41 uses a special sized hdd, not the standard ie 1.8in v 2.5in

not surprised for any party who won't consider at least exploring rejoining now, they just see it as handling any young talent we have on plate to the EU economy.
