I am so fucking sick of #Amazon #PrimeDay. 90% of my "Technology" feed in #GoogleNews is nothing but PrimeDay ads masqueraded as legit "stories" by tech bloggers and publications.
Since #Google #News doesn't give you the option to block based on "keywords" (a'la 'Prime Day' and the like) I've been going in and basically marking every keyword, brand, and anything else loosely related and tell Google I'm "not interested" in this shit.
I fucking hate Google but hands down it's still the best resource for me to get news. Sorry, but FlipBoard doesn't cut it. And Microsoft's "news" is a joke.

📨 Today, EDRi and 51 civil society organisations, academics, and experts have written to the European Commission to oppose any attempts to suspend or delay the #ArtificialIntelligence #AI Act.
These attempts, especially in light of the growing trend of #deregulation of #FundamentalRrights and environmental protection, could undermine accountability and hard-won rights for people, the planet, justice and democracy 🚨

At least 13 people, the majority of them children and women, were killed and dozens wounded after an Israeli airstrike targeted a line for distributing nutritional supplements for children in Deir Al-Balah, near Al-Zawari Junction in the central Gaza Strip. The identified victims are:
-Aya Ashraf Mishmish ( 4 years old)
-Ahmad Mohammad Abu Samaha (39)
-Yasmin Ahmad Abu Samaha (2 years)
-Shafa Muwiy Abu Qutta (child)
-Moataz Billah Saif Al-Bahtini ( 2 years old)

Sounds plausible. Except it's coming from Keith Olbermann.
— BOTGR: I used to be a dog handler-in-training on a FEMA urban search and rescue team (NE-TF1). The red tape and delays involved in getting the team to Ground Zero after 9-11 were ridiculous, let alone being deployed to smaller incidents.
Drove the search teams crazy, since there’s a limited window of opportunity to find survivors. It wasn’t unusual for someone to say, “Why are we training all our dogs to find live people? We might as well just mostly train cadaver dogs.” 😞
— it was very eye-opening to see the incompetency and sluggishness of the federal bureaucracy, and how it hampered what was otherwise a well trained and highly competent SAR team (thanks entirely to the tireless efforts of local fire departments and various volunteers).
When I started hearing conspiracy rumors that FEMA was hopelessly corrupt, it wasn’t hard for me to believe!

@Kuenga white people aren't really known for cannibalism or chopping the limbs off small children. although, this is not an endorsement of colonization of africa, or salvery or anything like that, it just seemed like a distortion so i looked into it.
reasons like cannibalism are why africans at that time were believed to be non-human savages
@Kuenga @meowskiIt could be both. I think the Wikipedia article mentions rubber "sentries," and then there's this description:

The photograph was taken by Alice Seeley Harris, the man’s name is Nsala. Here is part of her account (from the book “Don’t Call Me Lady: The Journey of Lady…RHP (Rare Historical Photos)
@Kuenga "The ironic part of this story is that Leopold II committed these atrocities by not even setting foot in the Congo"
the crazy thing is that european colonization would have been much more difficult or impossible, if native africans weren't willing to sell their own people into slavery and act as enforcers
@meowski @KuengaI think you're looking for a way to deflect blame or rationalize what Europeans did.
Colonization is rarely possible without some form of compliance, and the French themselves cooperated with Nazis. It's always the case that there's always someone willing to sell out their neighbors for an extra crust of bread. It's also always the case that a region's ethnic groups has pre-existing conflicts.
In case you're wondering like I did: unfortunately a European Arrest Warrant offers too many loopholes to act as a guarantee that genocide-complicit countries would be forced to execute it...

In remarks made to the press on Wednesday, Al-Nounou said that Hamas is showing a high degree of flexibility during the current negotiations taking place in Doha.

An Israeli blockade on food, aid and medicine has been fuelling a man-made starvation crisis in Gaza for months.
Now, a notorious Israeli- and US backed group seems to be using aid to move hundreds of thousands of people to the south - where Israel plans to forcibly transfer Palestinians into a “concentration zone.”
On Wednesday, GHF announced that it's now going to operate only one distribution center.

@Ryan @Mogleg in reality I believe they mostly afraid of Their power. The Western imperialist project. todon.nl/@prolrage/11307593962…
Since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Flood, the main concern of Western governments has been to prevent the defeat of the #Zionist entity both militarily and politically. Yes, the primary concern is economic interests. But beyond that there is the Paradigm. The Western (and also the eastern) #capitalist hegemony does not want an example of poor human beings, oppressed for decades, and subjected to constant humiliation, standing up. If the #Palestinian #Resistance wins, it will mean that we, the oppressed, here in the West, can win too. This is one reason why we see small States (based on imperialist hegemony) taking a protective position for the Zionist entity. If this is defeated, the power of their governments will be challenged the next day. And if the Power of the small State Entities is challenged, it will be the turn of the driving forces of #imperialism.
So if the Palestinian Resistance wins, then we will have an example of how our empires could fall.
Finally it's a great opportunity for the oppressed people around the world to shout: Victory for the Palestinian Resistance!

Begging Canadians to return as tourists is as insulting and absurd as Russia trying to advertise tourism in Ukraine
✅ Your ambassador insults and gaslights
✅ Your members of Congress send letters of complaint about our wildfire smoke while your US company Exxon is the top investor in our oil and gas ( literal gaslighting!)
✅ Your president breaks his very own Big Beautiful Trade Agreement then adds tariffs and threatens to invade Canada
✅ Your border officers reject our citizens and ICE throws Canadians into encampments rather than send them home.
So, please, please explain why in the world would anyone in their right mind desire to to visit the US and spend money that is taxed and eventually goes to support Trump and ICE !

>> Soldiers most commonly use EVO drones, produced by the Chinese company Autel, which are primarily intended for photography ... However, with a military-issued attachment known internally as an “iron ball,” a hand grenade can be affixed to the drone and dropped with the push of a button to detonate on the ground...
