Hello, here’s a brief introduction.
I am an artist working primarily in Porcelain and silver.
I was raised Atheist/Jewish.
The amount of antisemitism I experienced made me seek more education about my Jewish heritage starting in college. I couldn’t understand why people hated me for something I knew little about other than eating Gefilte fish and chopped liver.
I am interested in credible news and learning different perspectives.
I share articles I find interesting or useful and if you want a free article that I didn’t link please let me know. #Introduction #jewish #Babka #artist

Hello, Lynn here.
I was kicked off another Mastodon server for posting support for Israel in a sarcastic post. Oh well.
Wanted to be on Babka anyways.
I lost anyone I was following or who was following me. Fresh start.

Amtrak is far cleaner than flying where its tracks are electrified, along the Northeast Corridor, from Washington to Boston. But outside the Northeast, Amtrak trains run on diesel, a highly polluting fuel.
What’s more, Amtrak’s trains are decades old. (Its single-level Amfleet cars were built in the late 1970s.) Add to that generous seat pitches, large old-fashioned private rooms for longer-distance trains, a longer, winding route across the country and “per-passenger-mile emissions go through the roof,”

Replacing existing power lines with cables made from state-of-the-art materials could roughly double the capacity of the electric grid in many parts of the country, making room for much more wind and solar power.
This technique, known as “advanced reconductoring,” is widely used in other countries. But many U.S. utilities have been slow to embrace it because of their unfamiliarity with the technology as well as regulatory and bureaucratic hurdles, researchers found.

“So my question is, what’s the problem? Why can’t we shoot them down? Is it defense? Yes. Is it an attack on Russia? No. Are you shooting down Russian planes and killing Russian pilots? No. So what’s the issue with involving NATO countries in the war? There is no such issue.”
“Shoot down what’s in the sky over Ukraine,” he added. “And give us the weapons to use against Russian forces on the borders.”

Jews only have Israel. Otherwise, they have to put their faith in the majority population who have never missed a chance to oppress them when it serves their interests to do so.

Article: My father grew up in a village in the Swiss mountains, where he ate fresh, whole foods that had been cooked from scratch and prepared on the day they were eaten. But in the 30 years between his childhood and mine, in the suburbs of London, the nature of food transformed across the Western world. He was horrified to see that almost everything I ate was reheated and heavily processed. The evidence is clear that the kind of food my father grew up eating quickly makes you feel full. But the kind of food I grew up eating, much of which is made in factories, often with artificial chemicals, left me feeling empty and as if I had a hole in my stomach. In a recent study of what American children eat, ultraprocessed food was found to make up 67 percent of their daily diet. This kind of food makes you want to eat more and more. Satiety comes late, if at all.

Texas man files legal action to probe ex-partner’s out-of-state abortion.

senior staff attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights, described Mitchell’s statement and general approach as misleading “fearmongering.” “People need to understand that it is not a crime to leave Texas or any other state in the country for an abortion,” said Duane, who is working with lawyers from the firm Arnold & Porter to represent the woman and others targeted in the Davis case. “I don’t want people to be intimidated, but they should be outraged and alarmed.”

On October 7, 2023, four thousand terrorists from Hamas and other groups crossed into Israel and attacked over twenty sites in southern Israel. The attacks killed over 1,200 Israelis and the attackers kidnapped 240 hostages, taking them back into Gaza.
highlights many of the common characteristics of urban warfare that were on display during the attacks and how it might serve as a case study from which to extract lessons on terrorism and urban warfare.

UN has acknowledged that its initial reliance on data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, administered by Hamas in Gaza, contributed to the inflated figures. The organization has cited difficulties in independently verifying casualty data.
Israeli officials have reiterated longstanding concerns about the manipulation of casualty data by Hamas for propaganda purposes. They contend that the inflated numbers do not accurately reflect the reality on the ground and emphasize the need for independent verification.
