Why I resigned as chairman of #Amnesty Israel
Israeli human rights groups can’t advocate for Palestinians without Palestinians.
"Amnesty #Israel finds itself in the awkward position of being neither a source of legal expertise, nor providing a diverse human rights perspective of Israelis and #Palestians. It is just another place for Israeli Jews to express themselves.
When I became chairman of Amnesty Israel in January 2024, there were no Palestinians on the board of managers or in managerial positions on staff. By way of comparison, this is a lower standard than the one found in Israeli public service and government-owned corporations, which are, according to the attorney general’s guidelines, at least obligated to have a proper representation of Arabs “in all ranks and professions, in every office and auxiliary unit,” including the board of directors.
I insisted on Palestinian representation in managerial roles, but nothing changed. Members of management and the board were reluctant to make the necessary structural adjustments. "

Question for mastodon machinists:
This lathe is for sale locally and a couple of my friends are trying to figure out what this attachment with the pair of rollers on the back of the lathe does. None of us have ever seen anything like it.
Do you know what it is?

Satan used to have standards. Back masking in metal albums, recruiting through MTG, pokemon taught 'evolution,' D&D had actual demon names in the Monster Manual, Harry potter was teaching real witchcraft, and every Halloween decoration at Target was a portal to hell
the Satanic Panic had variety! Range! Creativity!
Now it's just 'this doll's name sounds like a demon if you say it wrong.' where's the effort?
@coriander
You can't spell Satan without an N, S and A so maybe they were onto something.

Next step : virer Gooooogle 💥
Et WhatsApp ce serait bien aussi.
@SolenedeM @niavy ce que je ne comprends pas, c'est pourquoi venir sous le post de quelqu'un qui dit faire qqch pour dire : moi je vois pas l'intérêt et ne pas vouloir ensuite de discussion ou d'explication ?
@atelieralice n'a pas dit : partez d'instagram ! Mais juste ... Je pars

Major European #Warmongers' news of the last days.
"Europe is drawing up "pretty precise plans" for a multinational troop deployment to #Ukraine as part of post-conflict security guarantees that will have the backing of U.S. capabilities, #European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the Financial Times in an interview.
The deployment is set to include potentially tens of thousands of European-led troops, backed by assistance from the U.S., including control and command systems and intelligence and surveillance assets"

A confidential letter by the French MoH dated July 18, 2025, directed regional health agencies to place hospitals on alert for a high-intensity war scenario in #Europe, likely by March 2026, according to the French weekly Le Canard enchaîné. The preparation includes the massive reception of wounded soldiers and an unprecedented mobilization of medical personnel.
In an article titled "The Ministry of #Health Mobilizes Hospitals for #War," published on August 26, the newspaper revealed that the Ministry called on senior health officials to ensure the health system is ready, by next March, to face a "major mobilization".

This is what psychologists call "displacement activity." Keeping yourself busy with something irrelevant to the actual problem, to avoid standing helplessly by or even worse, grasping the bull by the horns.
All these plans are built on the assumption that Russia will accept a ceasefire; yet the more they are announced, the more the chances of a ceasefire are cemented at zero. This war started to prevent further NATO presence in Ukraine and, as they're winning, why would the Russians suddenly stop so NATO "peacekeepers" can come in?
Of course the financiers are delighted. They have a new phrase "military Keynesianism" which means corporate welfare for banks & arms firms.

Ich wollte einmal darauf hinweisen das einer der Gründe das viele selbst da wo der ÖPNV via Bus gut verfügbar und gut gemacht ist, die Verbindung via Bus meiden, da eine Fahrt damit nicht so viel angenehmer als auf der Ladefläche eines Pritschenwagens ist. Gerade bei längeren Strecken im ländlichen Bereich schlägt sich auch das massiv nieder.
Moderne Linienbusse sind in Sachen Barrierefreiheit und Transportkapazität den im ländlichen Bereich früher einmal oft eingesetzten Reisebussen in vielen überlegen, aber eben nicht in allem. Den wenn es um den Fahrkomfort geht, verlieren die modernen Linienbusse auf voller Länge. Da fangen die Busse schon bei kleinen Unebenheiten und schlechter Straße an zu rütteln und zu vibrieren wir irre, daran sich vor oder nach der Arbeit noch ein wenig zu erholen ist nicht zu denken. Das Smartphone, Tablet oder gar Laptop zu benutzen ist oft reine Glückssache und auch die Polsterung der Sitze die einiges abfangen könnte, wird seit vielen Jahren immer mieser. Ja das sind im Endeffekt Luxusprobleme und Überfüllung, ausgefallene Klimatisierung und Heizungen sind schlimmer. Aber das ist eben auch ein Punkt der sehr wichtig ist, wenn man Menschen davon überzeugen will von ihrem bequemen Auto auf den ÖPNV zu wechseln.

Nah, If I'm on the right of a 3-lane highway, I'm not going to change lanes 4 times to compensate for someone else's bad lane discipline and potentially get in the way of someone who's trying to pass the same car on the left. I'm just going to continue in my lane.
In fairness to the people in the video, also, that road should probably not have traffic lights, which complicates everything even more.

I’ve been noticing Dog’s willy out a lot the last few days, not all the way but just an inch or so. This is not normal, but I can’t tell if it’s worth dragging him to the vet over.
Historically, I’ve only known him get it out three times, all in high-stress situations, but this has been things like seeing it poking out while he’s rolling in the heather.
It’s not stuck out, so it’s not the Scary Thing that is all Google is interested in telling me about.
@VoxThere’s one, but we’ve not seen her in a week and last time she was in season he just sniffed her bum a bit (which was an event in itself, first time he ever sniffed another dog’s bum!).
It’s worrying me a bit because he’s suddenly got old in the last few months, so I’m wondering if it might be related. Muscle weakness or prostate or something like that.

Yeah, i'm testing my own system with 2D10s and adding up both dice. The average result for both sits at 11 but i'm using my good dice and also rolling inside a bowl.
If i roll on a wooden surface my rolls are worse than normal but today i'm getting a decent average
