Push to recognise Palestine statehood wins more support

On Tuesday, The Bahamas announced that it had decided to recognise Palestine as a state. Five countries in the European Union are also reportedly considering the move: Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, Malta and Norway. Jamaica recognised it in April. Currently, 139 of the United Nations' 193 member states recognise Palestinian statehood…

Prominent Republicans have seized on campus protests to assail what they say is antisemitism on the left. But for years they have mainstreamed anti-Jewish rhetoric.

@jeffowski Just read this article about Musk foundation not meeting its legally required goals and spending money only in ways that serve Elon Musk. It’s clearly a big scam just to go ve him a tax break. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/10/us/elon-musk-charity.html?unlocked_article_code=1.hU0.hoIo.WPzB0s4vI_Z-&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Why is it still controversial to call Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide while it still s 100% clear Palestinians are starving and Israel is solely responsible for this.

Carbon emissions inequality is higher within countries than between them.
South Africa is the most extreme example, with the footprint of the top 10% as large as that of the remaining 90%. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/revealed-huge-climate-impact-of-the-middle-classes-carbon-divide

Fun fact: I've been a software engineer for 23 years but I know my way around a print shop after growing up in one.

From old school light tables, shooting & developing negatives, burning plates, and running offset spot-color presses to more modern desktop publishing tech, process color, and direct-to-printer jobs. I helped my father's business through the digital transformation of that industry.

I use none of of it today but retain a fondness for typography and get twitchy about bad kerning.

@gairdeachas I’m not sure. A post apocalyptic print shop using obsolete tech sounds like a good thing. 😁

Elon Musk's new AI large language model is using the X platform to access data in real-time to challenge ChatGPT's limited knowledge. The name of this new AI model? grok, and its creators say it has been designed to have "a bit of wit" and a "rebellious streak" and will possibly answer questions OpenAI's chatbot wont.

At the end of the day, COVID-19 made people realize:

  • They could work from home and that most offices are shitty places.

  • Their job was really shitty.

  • Governments could finance pretty much anything they wanted.

  • Global warming could be stopped.

  • The really important jobs were the ones that are the worst paid (nurses, for instance).

  • Most governments are run by idiots, who are in the pocket of the wealthiest.

King Charles, Visiting Kenya, Faces Calls to Answer for Colonial Abuses
Older Kenyans who lived through the British colonial period want an apology and reparations. Younger Kenyans want an acknowledgment of more recent alleged abuses by British companies and troops.

Should anyone claim that “ethnic cleansing” is too strong a phrase to describe what the Israeli government is trying to do in Gaza, we direct you to this document, just leaked from the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence. It explicitly recommends the forcible permanent transfer of the entire Palestinian population of the Gaza Strip to the Sinai peninsula.

This is the textbook definition of ethnic cleansing—on a scale of millions of people.

I'm very excited about 's hard sails. The vessel will be transporting to the Kourou launchpad.

The semi-rigid hard sails are expected to provide a 30%-50% fuel reduction depending on the wind direction. This has huge potential to reduce emissions of maritime transport.

Engine powered off, the ship sailed at 9.4 knots at a 50° wind bearing with a 19 knots wind, which is quite impressive.

@fj It would be nice to have 100% wind powered ships. You know like we had for thousands of years. 😉 I guess this is a good step forward to end up where we were in the 19th century when all trade was 100% wind powered.

Palestinian residents of the West Bank say that while the world's attention is drawn to the unfolding disaster in Gaza, Israeli settlers are taking advantage by entering villages and expelling, and even killing, Palestinian civilians. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67173344

dhuyvetter,
@dhuyvetter@mastodon.social avatar

Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem told the BBC that since the attack, it had documented "a concerted and organised effort by settlers to use the fact that the entire international and local attention is focused on Gaza and the north of Israel to try to seize land in the West Bank".

Just read an article on the NYT that implied that standing with the Palestinian people is the same as condoning Hamas’ gruesome attack. The people in the Gaza Strip are worst off now, which says a lot because it was already bad. I stand with the people of Israel and of Pakestine against both their warmongering government.

From pan-European corridors to interregional connections, we have helped build greener and sustainable ways into .

And we are up for more:

🚊 Today, we earmarked more than €52 million to support the purchase of 37 electric for 13 interregional routes in Romania.
