Even if you're not an Iranian nuclear scientist, it is always a good idea to move away from platforms that are run by (active collaborators of) fascist, warmongering Zionists.
Besides the in Arctic and Subarctic (see above), few areas of any size in North America can be said to be uninhabited. Most of these are strict nature reserves or wilderness area protected by law. Among the largest of these are Improvement District No. 25, Alberta (4,601.52 square kilometres (1,776.66 sq mi) and Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park, British Columbia (989,616 hectares (3,820.93 sq mi).
Alberta and British Columbia are Canadian provinces.
There is not much desert in Japan, but it is a very mountainous country, and much of the land is too steep to build on. One of the schools I taught at was accessible only by a road that was too steep for my bicycle. I had to get off and push.
Switzerland lies at the heart of Europe. It has three distinct geographical regions: the Alps, the Central Plateau and the Jura. The Alps cover two thirds of the country, but only a fraction of the population lives there.
In a study published in Science Advances, researchers from Technical University of Denmark and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid demonstrate a new device called an acoustic rainbow emitter (ARE) that takes in broadband white-noise signals from a poin…
Something I realized decades ago and always seems to be true is that toxic abusive people will always accuse whomever they’ve decided is their opponent of doing what they themselves are doing or want to do. You can see this all over the place in politics, at work, in relationships, and in gaming. The key is how quickly and aggressively the toxic person jumps to the accusations when negative attention gets remotely close to them.
I have ideas as to why this the case, but I’m not a psychologist. I studied psych and anthropology in college but didn’t get a degree in either. So I’m not in a position to make wider claims about the source of the behavior, it’s just one of those patterns that are both obvious when you see them and sometimes easy to miss in the heat of the moment.
@violetmadder Absolutely. Also, what ever they are accusing others of is frequently top-of-mind for them, likely because they are doing it or would like to be doing it themselves.
>> Organizers of a land convoy seeking to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip have reportedly announced their decision to cancel the convoy’s journey after authorities in eastern Libya refused to allow them to cross into Egypt.
>> In a statement on its Facebook page, the group said: “We have been informed by the Libyan authorities that the Egyptian authorities have rejected the licenses requests that we sent to the Egyptian Embassy in Tunisia through all possible legal and diplomatic channels.”
>> “We decided to return to Tunisia and look for other ways to lift the siege” in Gaza, the statement added.
>> ... the convoy “is peaceful and will remain peaceful and we will remain on the spot peacefully waiting” for the release of the detained participants.
Do you guys not have a problem with Stremio not being completely open source? It seems like it is proprietary, yet I would argue that it is currently the best way to stream movies and tv shows if you know which add-ons to use.
Shortly after Denmark decided to replace Windows and Microsoft 365 with open-source solutions, the German state of Schleswig-Holstein also announced that it will replace Microsoft Teams and the Office suite with open-source alternatives in its public institutions. tecnoblog.net/noticias/mais-um…
A staffer for Senator Tina Smith goes viral for sending an email to Senator Mike Lee after he tweeted-and later deleted-about the assassination of a Minnesota state legislator.
"I knew Melissa Hortman. Many people in this office did. She was a longtime friend of Senator Smith’s, who had seen her hours before she was murdered. So you’ll forgive my candor as I speak through enormous grief," the letter begins.
Today's broken clock award goes to Ro #Khanna, for being right as he cosponsors a bill with Thomas #Massie to at least try to stop the USA aiding an attack set of a war with Iran.
Israel isn't an actual ally of the USA in treaty or general behavior & we definitely shouldn't as a nation be aiding the attack of #Iran.
Picking up some stuff from my local grocery store just now and there was a guy who looked exactly like, *and* had the same body language as: Larry David.
I could not take my eyes off this man.
His kind of dismal self defeating clumsy attempt to engage with the self checkout. His every hesitation, every fumble, perfect Larry.
I know for a fact that it wasn’t Larry David. Larry David isn’t in Australia, in Greenslopes, doing his shopping.
But that made him even more fascinating. Larry David has *no* choice, whatever he does: he’s Larry David.
But this man had choices, had his whole life. But bit by bit, over many decades, it must have snuck up on him in tiny increments. Now, mature in years, he’s arrived at man’s estate, his final form, a perfect transition to Larry David-ness.
@pluralistic What a wildly predictable turn of events, that Larry David ended up regretting his involvement with crypto. Absolutely no one saw that not coming.
As one critic asked, has Juneteenth devolved ‘into an exploitative and profit-driven enterprise for companies that disregard the true significance of this day to the Black community?’
Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, sent a text message to President Trump expressing his belief that Trump is a consequential president and that only God's voice matters.
The text contained religious overtones, with Huckabee stating that Trump was spared in Butler, PA to be the President. A particularly disturbing part was a reference to Truman in 1945, who used nuclear weapons against an enemy state.

American Threats of Military Intervention Against Iran Are Pushing the Region to the Brink of Explosion — Hamas
We in the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, strongly condemn the American threats and categorically reject the continued zionist aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which constitutes a blatant violation of international law and a direct threat to regional and global peace and security.
The zionist statements claiming that “there are no safe cities from ‘israel’ in the Middle East” reflect an arrogant colonial mindset and reveal aggressive intentions that endanger the stability of the region and its peoples.
We warn of the serious consequences of direct American involvement in any military aggression against Iran, and we hold Washington and the zionist entity fully responsible for the repercussions of this escalation against Iran and the region.
We affirm our solidarity with Iran and its people, and our support for its legitimate right to defend itself and its national sovereignty.
We call on Arab and Islamic countries to take a unified and responsible stance in confronting zionist recklessness, rejecting aggression against Iran, and preventing its continuation in order to protect the security of the region and the interests of its peoples.

“100 martyrs since dawn. Most of them were standing in lines waiting for aid, They wanted flour… but found death.
100 innocent souls snatched from life, 100 families devastated, 100 children will sleep tonight without a father, without a mother, without shelter.
What kind of oppression is this? What kind of humanity allows the hungry to be killed while waiting for bread? Gaza is not bleeding… Gaza is being slaughtered.”
"They all want to cover my story, but their EDITORS say no… #CNN wants to interview me; but they say they can’t do it because they don’t want problems with the Israeli censor. #BBC is doing the same thing. Sixty Minutes from the United States from the beginning they wanted to do a program, but because of the censor situation they decide not to do it." #Israel #Nuclear #Weaponsthearabdailynews.com/2015/12/2…
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that the main outcome of the G7 summit in Canada was the acknowledgement that anti-Russian sanctions, which caused millions in damage to Western countries, were misguided.
Over 6,000 years ago, a mysterious civilization had detailed maps of our solar system.
The Sumerians created these drawings using clay. The surviving drawings show that they understood that the sun is a star at the centre of the solar system and that other planets revolve around it. They even accurately sketched the orbits and positions of the planets. Interestingly, some of their paintings also depict strange images of giant entities. The Sumerians considered them to be deities. Intriguingly, some of the drawings of these gods even display symbols resembling human DNA sequences. Additionally, they had symbols related to medicine, which bear significant resemblance to modern medical symbols. To this day, we still cannot understand how thousands of years ago, the oldest civilization of mankind had such profound knowledge of astronomy. This raises whether this ancient civilization was not backward but had advanced far beyond our current understanding of it.
Die Bundesregierung plant Maßnahmen für flexiblere Arbeitszeiten. Einer IAB-Umfrage zufolge lehnen knapp drei Viertel der Beschäftigten unbegrenzte Arbeitszeiten ab. Große Unterschiede gibt es jedoch zwischen Jung und Alt.
If you run Mastodon you're pissing money away. Literally. No other fediverse platform has the bandwidth, server, and STORAGE requirements that Mastodon blithely inflicts on its admins. NONE. If you're thinking about running your own Mastodon server.... ***don't!*** Sharkey is much easier to set up, run, maintain, and has features that aren't even on Mastodon's roadmap yet, all with requiring literally 1/10th the bandwidth, server, and storage requirements of Mastodon. Seriously. Only a fool deploys a new Mastodon server today. RE: mindly.social/@KuJoe/114513341…
American physician Dr. Saeed Rehman, speaking from Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza, described treating victims of today’s aid massacre. He pleaded with the Western world to wake up: “What we’re seeing here is an absolute annihilation of humanity — of children, of pregnant women. What we’re seeing here is an execution.”@palestine
Amid Israel’s continued attacks on Iran, U.S. lawmakers from across the political spectrum are pushing efforts to curb Donald Trump’s war powers as U.S. involvement in the war threatens to fracture Trump’s political coalition.
Beijing, June 17 (Prensa Latina) The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted that the St. Petersburg Economic Forum is an important platform for discussing global economic governance and building consensus on international cooperation.
#Israel has support from the U.S. and Europe. #Iran's allies have been dramatically weakened, taken out completely, or are not in a position to help. What does this mean for this war and its aftermath?

The protester said the rally was peaceful until it suddenly got ugly. Now, as he recovers in the hospital, he's not sure if he'll get his vision back in his right eye.
I hope they recover their vision. As someone who lost sight in one eye I can attest that going from binocular to monocular vision is life altering AND not considered a disability under the ~~law~~ Social Security requirements but typically is covered by ADA.
In their hubris, Israel Zionists and US shitlibs think other countries' political system are like theirs', where the whims of a single person will shut down a government.
If that were true, wouldn't assassinating all those Iranian generals stop the missiles raining down on Tel Aviv today?

like the palestinians say. you can kill a body, but not an idea. the ir has been setup for this. israels been killing their politicians and academics for decades lol.
Yeah comrade. It's particularly amazing because it is US-based analysts who have concluded this too. But as usual, the shitlibs in Washington and their fascist allies in Israel have given themselves brainrot in their foreign policy by ignoring the policy nerds because, racism.
Israel finally attacked a country that can fight back, and it turns out the Iron Dome isn't so effective. Israelis are now experiencing what the State of Israel has inflicted on Palestine.
And while missiles might not discriminate between Jews and Arabs, shelters do. Israeli citizens have shelter doors slammed in their faces by their neighbours if they are overheard speaking Arabic to their terrified children.
