The case against Israel has just collapsed.
Revised civilian death figures expose the lie behind claims of ‘genocide’.

"Yet we’re expected to believe that Hamas, as it squats underground with its Jewish sex slaves, has the professionalism to provide statistics within hours, reliable to the single digit."

But the.accusation is about intent.

“statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.”

Here, no confidence in Hamas data.

So the claimed stats just don't have much relevance.

Trump has pledged to continue to defend the Second Amendment and has called himself “the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House” as the United States faces record numbers of deaths due to mass shootings. Last year ended with 42 mass killings and 217 deaths, making it one of the deadliest years on record.

@RememberUsAlways oh.

Well, I think we were all expecting something like this. Particularly as Hamas was being cagey with regards to whether they even had living hostages, or how many.

I'll check it out.

nicholas_saunders ,

@RememberUsAlways @palestine @israel huh?

It's tragic all around.

Tears are appropriate.

My hope is for at least a few decades of and annual elections. We'll see.

@RememberUsAlways @palestine @israel

Elephant certainly.

I was more thinking Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

I don't think that blue helmets are needed in the Ukraine, but sure. I mean, the problem there is two fold:

That the Ukraine makes an excellent cudgel against Putin.

Whether NATO membership is still on the table.

While children are starving in Gaza, Israeli citizens attack an aid truck at the Tarqumiya crossing.

If you side with this, you are on the wrong side of history.

@RememberUsAlways @randahl cannot say that I always agree with remember, but his posts are generally grounded in something beyond rhetoric.

In the race for space metals, companies hope to cash in

Mining asteroids could reduce the burden on Earth’s resources. Will it live up to its promise?

This is funny. OpenAI, who scraped the entire internet to build its product, is now enforcing copyright via notices. They still don’t give credit for stealing content from everyone, yet now acting like holier-than-thou https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1cnvyzp/

    @nixCraft the beauty of this AI is that it plagiarizes and steals, and never cited attributions.

    Plus, it's real fucking good at spotting plagiarism and art fraud.

    FCC explicitly prohibits fast lanes, closing possible net neutrality loophole

    Putting applications into fast lanes would violate FCC's no-throttling rule.

    It turns out, is legal if the target is holding .






    "The Convention thus accords a discretion to States in choosing how to respond to hostage-taking, conceivably extending from negotiation at one end of the spectrum to forcible measures of rescue at the other."

    nicholas_saunders ,

    @RememberUsAlways going back at least to Arafat, and I think prior, there's been no acknowledgement of the rights for indigenous jews. Might recognizing those rights not actually provide the best way forward for a free Palestine?

    nicholas_saunders ,

    @RememberUsAlways so you cannot acknowledge that Arafat denied that Jews were indigenous.

    nicholas_saunders ,

    @RememberUsAlways again, completely unable to acknowledge Arafat's denial of indigenous Jews.

    nicholas_saunders ,

    @RememberUsAlways Arafat denied the existence of indigenous Jews, a view prevalent across Palestinians -- certainly not a fact which you're acknowledging.

    nicholas_saunders ,

    @RememberUsAlways lol -- so your inability to acknowledge indigenous jews is now veering into denial. Denial of this fact isn't conducive to your stated goal of a free palestine.

    nicholas_saunders ,

    @RememberUsAlways what's notable is that you've declined actual acknowledgement.

    nicholas_saunders ,

    @RememberUsAlways where did you make such acknowledgement?
