"Israel dropped almost as many bombs in Gaza in one week as the US did in AFG in one year -- the heaviest year.
Gaza is 141 sq miles.
AFG is 252,071 sq miles."
-Eric Umansky
"Although IL officials insist that each strike is subject to legal approval, experts say the rules of engagement, which are classified, appear to include a higher threshold for civilian casualties than in previous rounds of fighting."
Biden has lost support from many on the L & middle🚨for siding mostly w IL.
"I'm nervous -just bc polls: been wrong -doesn't mean -always wrong. Biden isn't far ahead suggests facts like #TFG is likely be convicted of felonies before 11/5/24 *don't matter to many voters..." -D Rothkopf

Feature idea for a fediverse client - for people like me who can’t come up with hashtags that match what other people actually use (so most of my posts are free of hashtags across all platforms), add an option to suggest hashtags on posts (either by turning an existing word or phrase used into a hashtag in friendly camel case or by suggesting possibly relevant hashtags based on the post content
(This is, perhaps, a use case for a lightweight machine learning / “ai” application)
@Rycaut I frequently find active hashtags (on twitter at least) and incorporate them into what ever I have to say just to help engagement, they aren't as easy to find here though
How long will USB-C be the most common & standard connector for consumer electronics? (there can be updates to voltage and protocols, but it must be backwards compatible to what we have now)
