Elina Bakunova aka "Eli from Russia" visited Iran before the military conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US began. Before she left, her friends were like, "You're going to Iran? It's so dangerous!" But she found once she arrived in Iran, she never felt in any danger. The Iranian people were kind and curious. She feels the reality of Iran is different from how the media portrays it. She explores the city of Shiraz, visits geographic and historical landmarks, tries the local food, and so fourth. Her English-speaking guides (the whole video is conducted in English) are very good. Officially, Iran is an Islamic country with many restrictions, but many people have little interest in the religion and the restrictions, especially young people. People comply more in public but often in private people ignore the restrictions all the time. There is a difference between the government and the politics and the regular people. The video has very good music.

Juzgan a dos altos cargos del Ayuntamiento y la Comunidad de Madrid por el derribo de una vivienda en la Cañada Real.
La defensa asegura que el Consistorio de Almeida ordenó la demolición basándose en un informe del comisionado de Ayuso que mintió.

Entonces, al servicio de mastodon.social que no para de denunciarme toots, le digo:

Si, creo que el estado de Israel es genocida y que TODA VIOLENCIA que provenga del diezmado y torturado pueblo palestino es legítima defensa y merece el apoyo incondicional de toda persona de bien.

Y sí, también creo que el discurso berreta de las "políticas de género" y la exaltación de las parafilias son desvíos de atención para que la izquierda no se ocupe de la distribución del ingreso, que es lo único que realmente importa.

DENUNCIAME ESTA, FASCISTA HIJO DE PUTA.

The #Greenland native sled dog: 'the Qimmiq (plural Qimmit), has been a key part of the Inuit culture for hundreds of years. Feuerborn et al. sequenced the genomes of more than 90 Qimmit, revealing a history of localization and limited introgression of European dogs. These results reveal the distinct nature of this ancient dog breed and provide insight into their conservation in the face of a changing climate and modernization'

crazy to think, but all AI actually works like this

the data trained on is inherently biased because we live in an incredibly unjust world

Speaking of Wired's excellent coverage:

They just reported on a Department of Homeland Security memo that went out to local police forces ...

... urging them to consider even the most innocuous and bog-standard protest activity as dangerous ...

... like skateboarding, or walkigng around "on foot"

no joke

An excerpt:

in reply to Clive Thompson

certainly doesn't help that apparently US law enforcement has been recruiting specifically for paranoid, violence-prone man-children for ages & then subjecting them to "warrior training" & teaching them to behave as if awash in a sea of enemies at all times. They all think they're redpills in The Matrix & killing anyone as a potential enemy agent is justified & also cool.

"I've tried for years to get a member of the Squad to take up the issue of Israel's nukes and use that to try to cut off funding to Israel, and none have done so.

Here's MTG raising Israel's nukes more than any member of congress has before, but it's got serious problems . . ."

This is the same thing Trump pimped during his first term.. He didnt know what it was back then!
GOP Moves To Save Biden: We Want Amnesty, Too! - So far, the Republicans’ response has been to propose their own amnesty, while throwing in some boob-bait for the rubes about border security. Even the election of Donald Trump, a ridiculous creature who became president by promising to crack down on illegal immigration and build a wall (promises he ignored), hasn’t put a dent in Washington’s enthusiasm for overwhelming the country with the third world. ----The GOP could return to a 1970s-style, microscopic minority status in no time! As Talleyrand supposedly said of the restored Bourbon monarchy, re-creating the conditions that led to the French Revolution, “They’ve learned nothing and forgotten nothing.”
