Spain, Ireland and China to join more than 20 states to declare ‘concrete measures’ against Israel


More than 20 countries are convening in Bogota next week to declare “concrete measures against Israel’s violations of international law”, diplomats told Middle East Eye.

The “emergency summit” is due to be held on 15-16 July, co-hosted by the governments of Colombia and South Africa as co-chairs of The Hague Group, to coordinate diplomatic and legal action to counter what they describe as “a climate of impunity” enabled by Israel and its powerful allies.

The founding members of the group included Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa.

States due to take part in the summit include Algeria, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Honduras, Indonesia, Ireland, Lebanon, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, Portugal, Spain, Qatar, Turkey, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uruguay, and Palestine.

The University of Pennsylvania did the right thing and changed its policy, but Newsom is stubborn as heck. With all the problems facing California (immigration, crime, drugs, homelessness, etc.) and a 12 billion budget deficit, Newsom and the Dems chose to pander to trans activists.

This didn't have to happen, and it's all on Newsom and the Democrats in Sacramento. They were given the chance to comply, but flat out refused to sign a resolution agreement.

"The suit comes just days after the California Interscholastic Federation and the state’s Department of Education declined to sign a resolution agreeing to comply with the U.S. Department of Education’s push to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports.

CIF and the state Department of Education sent letters to the U.S. Department of Education declining to sign a resolution agreement on Monday, saying that they disagreed with its Office of Civil Rights’ analysis. CIF and the state Education Department declined to comment, citing pending litigation."

New boss eyes my golf shorts, #hawaiianshirt with a cat, #sandals, and jokes "say, do we _have_ a dress code?"

"Eh. Think we do - employee manual hasn't been updated in at least a decade though, and noone has ever given me any grief, and I dance all over it in the summer. In any case, not only do I know that there ARE bodies, I know where they're buried and in most case I buried them to begin with. So if quibbling over dress code is a priority for this company we have way bigger problems."

Oklahoma's Dept of Ed will use right-wing propaganda outlet PragerU to create a test for determining eligibility to teach, measuring applicants' belief in "American exceptionalism" & acceptance of transphobic gender ideology: foxnews.com/politics/exclusive…
Surely other GOP states & Trump's DOE (using funding as leverage) will follow, making acceptance of far-right beliefs a requirement for teaching, just as it's become for hiring federal workers & allowing people from other countries to visit the US.

Steam sales are now over but i managed to snag a couple more games before the end of the sale.

Painkiller Black was awesome I heard the other games were ehh.. Doom Eternal I heard great things but you gotta block the the game from connecting to the internet because it forces you to setup a stupid bethesda account otherwise. I Remember chips challenge from the 1995 pack sold with Jezzball, pipe dream so I figured why not I'll get chips challenge 2 while it's cheap.

I have close family members who have been diagnosed with autism, and my full-time job is being a support worker for adults who have learning disabilities and autism.
This is beyond disgusting.

Gregg Wallace is attempting to downplay his behaviour as being the fault of the BBC and MasterChef production team failing to notice that he has autism.
His friends are backing up the autism claim by saying that it prevents him from wearing underwear.

That doesn't justify sexual assault.

This is why these things can't just be outlawed. Even going about it the scientific way is difficult.

¿Buscamos seguidores o buscamos expresarnos libremente en Mastodon?
Esa busqueda suele condicionar los mensajes en las rrss.
Mi propuesta para #mastodon es que el numero de seguidores no sea publico pq si estamos en una red social no corporativa donde no se monetizan los contenidos ¿que utilidad tiene publicar el numero de seguidores mas alla del marketing personal como si fuera un escaparate de ventas para darle mas valor al contenido en funcion del numero de seguidores?

Mozilla is cancelling projects and initiatives left and right. Mullvad might be a much better choice at this point.

Illustrating every legendary creature in Wisconsin folklore: The Fish-Fox and the Fish Hound.

Both are of the "fearsome critters" from lumberjack legends, and both are domesticated critters that can help you to catch ludicrous amounts of fish!

The Fish-Fox is, as the name would imply, a combination of fox and fish. It could imitate "the sound of an angleworm" and thus lure vast quantities of fish ashore for its master.

The Fish Hound, by contrast, was neither fish or hound, but rather was a crossbreed between a mink and a helldiver grebe, and this bird-mustelid hybrid just happened to resemble a doggo by shear coincidence (but with mink fur on half its body, and helldiver feathers on the other). The Fish Hound was an expert fisher, and was extremely intelligent. You could tell it the amount of fish you wanted, the type of fish, and even the size, and within moments it would retrieve exactly what you had asked for.

Pour donner une idée du salaire annuel de base d’Anne Lafond, on s’est référé aux données les plus récentes de la SAAQ, publiées en mai dernier.

À ce moment-là, le poste de PDG de la société d’État venait avec une rémunération annuelle de 310 063 $, à laquelle peuvent s’ajouter des bonis, des primes, des frais de fonction ainsi qu’une indemnité mensuelle pour une voiture.

C’est près de cinq fois le salaire moyen au Québec, établi à 65 214 $ selon Statistique Canada.

À titre de vice-présidente aux services aux assurés et assurées, Mme Lafond touchait 242 500 $. Sa nouvelle rémunération représente donc une augmentation de quelque 67 563 $.

Anne Lafond rejoint maintenant le cercle des PDG les mieux payés à la tête d’une société d’État québécoise.

I spent too much time thinking being a #kernel #dev for a #bsd project was like paramount or opus for coding in the *nix world.

Glad to be free of that idea in my brain only I planted there as a teen. Sure, I *could* move forward with being a kernel programmer if I pushed for it, but just a source of #joy

I do appreciate the OpenBSD, NetBSD, and even FreeBSD (I say even because I never really used FreeBSD in a serious context like OpenBSD and NetBSD), but I can do that without having an active part in it and still be happy letting that unhealthy bucket-list item expire.

I don't need to prove myself to anyone, I've done enough in my life so far.

At this point in life, I've definitely honed in on what brings me joy and what doesn't with technology. My career is stable and in-demand, I don't need to always be improving it.

#Retrocomputing is where it is at for me now. It's still flexing the same muscles but with greater challenges for near zero functional purpose.

Why would anyone purposefully code 8-bit computers with 64-bit ones exist now with more capabilities with hardware found everywhere for next to nothing?! 😀

Billg who is on the list said the exact same thing as Trump did here. Effectively "epstein is dead why are we still talking about him?"

My whole job is constantly reloading five potential responses to everything I have to read to respondents. The whole trick is never missing a beat so people don't begin to develop doubt or begin critical investigation. You don't want a survey respondent to think about anything other than what you're asking them. Popping the bubble is about ten times more work to deal with.

Most people don't have a clue I'm handling them.
