Me too. I think there are a bunch of federation issues in parts of the fediverse.

Mod logs are not working for me but everything else is great.

Here's Scorsese talking about it.

From the article:

The inauguration of the IMS service underscores Mawani’s efforts to augment King Abdul Aziz Port’s operational efficacy and establish it as a pivotal player in the global maritime logistics and transportation sectors.

This move aims to streamline the export-import process and is in accordance with Saudi Arabia’s National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS).

The ambition is clear: to position the Kingdom as a global centre for logistics, bridging the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Connecting continents

The service ensures the King Abdul Aziz Port is directly linked to five pivotal ports: Klang (Malaysia), Surabaya and Jakarta (Indonesia), Nhava Sheva (India), and Jebel Ali (United Arab Emirates), through regular weekly sailings.

"Cloaca maxima" would make a good insult.

I don't agree. As well as arms, Israel relies on political support from the US to block UN intervention.

There is growing international appetite for UN intervention in this matter. The African Union is always particularly interested in it, especially South Africa.

Without US military protection of Israel some of the Arab nations would also be interested in military intervention and I wouldn't be surprised if Indonesia (the largest Muslim country in the world) would be as well.

You seem to be confusing the fact that the US will not withdraw support from Israel, with the idea that it can't. It can. And the world does have some history of cross-national intervention in high profile genocides.

You have brought up the US response to 11 Sept. This too involved a number of war crimes. It's not a persuasive argument. None of it makes me sympathetic to the genocidaires or to Biden's tacit support of them.

Genocide and human rights abuses against civilians are never an appropriate response to anger at terrorist actions.
