Russia is making efforts to assist the Iranian people amid escalation in the Middle East, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi.
So, the way we're going to solve climate change and save the Amazon is by auctioning off oil sites in the Amazon.
Also, we're having a big conference on saving the Amazon in the Amazon and we're building a huge road, an airport for private jets and some luxury hotels for some very specials VIPs. All in the Amazon! Wow hee!!
Brazil auctions off several Amazon oil sites despite environmentalists and Indigenous protests
The attack on Pearl Harbor and Trump’s bombing of a few places in Iran aren’t really the same.
The emperor (Japanese people almost never use the emperor’s name) didn’t tell the world that he was seriously considering an attack on Pearl Harbor. It really was a sneak attack. There’s a great account of the involvement of cryptographers and intelligence agencies in the hours leading up to the attack in David Kahn’s The Codebreakers.
Also, during the Taishō era (before the Shōwa era) emperors became figurehead rulers much as in Europe. The US military always talked about Tojo, the prime minister, and not the emperor when they talked about military policy.
BTW, the current emperor is “the emperor” (天皇), and past emperors are referenced with the names of their eras. So the emperor from 1926 to 1989 is called the “Shōwa emperor” (昭和天皇). Yes, his name was Hirohito, but nobody really cares what his actual name was. Japanese people who have a lot of respect for the emperor sometimes call him 天皇陛下, which dictionaries usually translate as “his majesty, the emperor.” I knew one man who always used that term.
Did Tojo really think that the US wouldn’t go to war against Japan after Perl Harbor? I think he just thought that sinking those battleships would delay the USA’s entry into what Japan calls the Pacific War.
US President Donald Trump, however, said he did not expect further retaliation and thanked Iran 'for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost.'
The final blow will be that they send a nuclear bomb in a cargo container on a cargo ship to New York.
Interesting. Before the Manhattan Project during WWII, many thought that, probably, a critical mass would be so heavy that nuclear weapons would have to be delivered to ports in ships as you describe.
Manhattan Project research suggested that a critical mass could actually be quite small. The Trinity test proved it. Nuclear weapons can be small enough to be delivered as bombs, torpedo warheads, or missile warheads.
Fortunately, only two nuclear weapons have been used to deliberately kill people, so far.

I've been working on it with Grok. Since sex is immutable and 'gender' is a contrived attempt to sidestep this truth, we need better, more precise terms.
@Java Yes. Many doctors trained in western medicine are schooled to follow authority and always submit to higher authorities. It's protocol to appeal to authority, to greater *experts*
Being "schooled" is indoctrination. Not the same thing as being "educated". Being educated allows one to leave the reservation via critical thinking and challenging the status quo of what has simply been told to them.
@JackONeill Good points. My family discusses it a lot. I find that people in my circle have gotten more vocal & learned how to say, "No" to certain medicines, esp statins, will bring up new developments, and aren't afraid to mention alternatives. The doctor of a friend of mine who refused the shot during Covid said to her, "You must be one of those MAGA people." 😆 She said, "I am, and proud of it." @Andre
You are so right about reclaiming language, it sounds good to me. I'd have to write them down 25 times to remember. Some medical terms have been removed in journals. Imo, dems do it to destroy lives.
Cultural Marxism and the "long march through trusted institutions."
You're describing the symptom of an active campaign to gut trusted institutions (education, family, church, doctors, etc) and wear the skin of those institutions as a suit.
You can't fix it without addressing the source of the problem.
Simply use the tag #joborun to post here and have your text seen by the joborun community, otherwise it will be in the chaos of fediverse/diaspora
@alostfella@diasporasocial.net
Anyway, how the heck do you switch languages? I mean, I've tried, fcitx and uim. Both work fine on joborun, but I've some issues, uim is hard af to manage and idk how to get it running on the terminal, any terminal though I use st--and therefore vim. For fcitx, I have made it work. But both kill the system somehow if I press the F keys, as in F5, F6, or XK keys, as in to lower audio or whatever. Maybe you're not the guy I should be sending this to and I'm wasting your time, but idk, any recommendations?
In X the best place for keyboards and languages is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf Overall system language settings is best set at /etc/locale.conf /etc/locale.gen then run locale-gen to pass the settings On labwc ~/.config/labwc/environment
What you describe with the F keys is some program remapping key combinations for different power functions, but what you mean about "kill the system" is not very clear. Shutdown, reboot, loose graphical environment and exiting to console? Runit only allows system going down with the 4 functions in /usr/bin/run/{poweroff,reboot,shutdown,halt} where it is best to only use /usr/bin/run/reboot and /usr/bin/run/reboot -f as root
Not all software are translated to all languages, so it is best to have a 2nd language you are semi-comfortable with as backup when your 1st choice doesn't work.
Also, to keep the installation image small all language and documentation is removed, you may have to reinstall a specific program to get manuals and language specific labels ..etc.
Oh, sorry, I'm kind of new to the fediverse/diaspora. What I meant is that, whenever I pressed one of those keys, the X environment would keep working, technically, but it would just freeze. So, I couldn't do anything, not even switch between switch to any other TTY. The cause: A deprecated command inside my .xinitrc file:
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session
Used it as a temporary fix for some program to work, but it's deprecated to have such thing inside xinit.
Still, regarding /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf, it's a great solution for Latin languages such as Deutsch, Portuguese, etc. Though, it's, perhaps just easier to use "setxkbmap" on the run or making a script, but falls short when dealing with languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Extremely annoying, but it seems that the only viable way to make them work is using fcitx, ibus or whatever bloated IME :/. The best solution I've found so far, is getting 'uim', removing all the bloat and then compiling it using musl-gcc or tcc by yourself (possible, but a pain in the ass, plus it may bring a lot of compatibility issues with some programs).
I have used setxkbmap in menu of a wm to switch instead of shortcut/keybinds before, but I don\t know/understand why it wouldn't work with some valid system languages.
I made this kbd-tapper program that may help in identifying language/kbd settings in your X, it claims to work on wayland, gnome/kde is disabled but the --xkb "layouter " is still needed to be specified See the manual here kbd-tapper.sourceforge.io/tapp…
I accept total ignorance of E.Asian language keyboards and difficulties, I assume they exist on english dominated computer environment. EN is not our native language either .. but is common and popular among unix/linux users so we have to live with it.
Symbols and symbolism should be seen as what they are, confusing crap coming from a subjective theistic culture of primitive people. We can assign visual and audio symbols to refer to a tree, different in every corner of the world, but the tree in front of us remains the same one tree whatever we call it. Keyboard keys and their combinations send a unique signal by opening closing circuits to a system that wouldn't understand any human language but only its own.
So if I say un, uno, one, ena, uahad, ein, 1 is still a symbol of the concept of 1
I think comrades Mao, Pol Pot, Kim Yong Un, would agree with me up to this point ... we can disagree on many others 😀
If we were in Hollywood land I would have said "god help you" and avoid further investigation ... luckily we are not.
% tapper --xkb --list-layouts
shows which and if defined lang/kbd sets are defined in X, and I believe come from that /etc/x11/...conf file you mention They must be set right so you can set key combinations to switch between them So if the above command doesn't show any or only one switching is not possible.

That's always been precisely the point of our "representative" government: for the nation's elite (first the American plutocracy, now the globalist/Zionist international Cabal) to be able to rule over the people THROUGH their bought and paid for FLUNKIES, whom the citizens are generously allowed to "vote" for.

Let's face some facts for the conflict in Middle East. Netanyahu was in US meeting government officials. A provocative action against civilians (that israeli entity doesn't pay attention to) came at Majdal Shams (denied by Hezbollah), occupied Golan Heights. todon.nl/@prolrage/11286337216… Immediately israeli intelligence found and executed two top and respected commanders of the Axis of Resistance in two different countries, Iran and Syria. So, there was already a plan. Netanyahu had to get the green light from US (or an order to act as a proxy for the interests of US). Immediately US started to deploy full force on the region. (US Patriots are already there) masto.nobigtech.es/@nachocarre… So it's quite obvious that the Israeli entity is acting under US orders. Netanyahu visited US to take orders on how to set alight the whole region. #USImperialism provokes the global warfare, desperately, and #Israel just acts as its proxy. #USpol #USA #IsraelTerroristState #IsraelWarCrimes #genocide #Lebanon #Iran #Palestine #FreePalestine #Imperialism #FuckWarmongers

The same play every fucking day. Americans gave the name of "aid distribution centers" while they built traps of death for the starving population of #Gaza.
"Al-Shifa Hospital reports 5 killed and several wounded after Israeli occupation forces opened fire on Palestinians waiting for aid in the Al-Sudaniya area, northwest of Gaza City."
At least 245 Palestinians have been killed while desperately trying to secure food parcels for their families from the US and Israeli-led food distribution centres, which have been branded as “human slaughterhouses” by UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese since they began operating on 27 May.
Al Jazeera reporter Majed Abdul Hadi says those who are complicit in the killings “deny their involvement when bullets are fired into their empty bellies and skulls cracked from extreme hunger”.
This is still happening at least once a day and the corporate media are so busy salivating at the prospect of regime change in Iran that they're not even bothering to mention it 🤬

Death toll rises in latest Israeli shootings near Gaza food sites
At least 34 Palestinians have been gunned down near Israeli-and US-supported food aid distribution centres in southern Gaza, its Health Ministry says.
At least 56 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces across the Gaza Strip since dawn on Monday, including 38 who were attempting to receive humanitarian aid. The #UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned Israel’s military tactics in #Gaza, stating they are inflicting “horrific and unacceptable suffering.”
#Israel continues to block the entry of aid trucks through Gaza’s border crossings, with humanitarian convoys stranded since March 2.
Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of attacks across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, killing at least 52 Palestinians, including 22 aid workers in the central part of the enclave, according to medical sources cited by Al-Jazeera.
Al-Awda and Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospitals received 16 bodies and dozens of wounded after Israeli troops opened fire and threw grenades at civilians gathered near an aid distribution point close to the Netzarim axis in central Gaza.
Eyewitnesses said Israeli forces stationed in the area opened machine gun fire on hundreds of Palestinians waiting for the American aid center to open. Drones reportedly dropped bombs on the crowd, causing additional casualties.
At least 27 Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured on Friday morning by Israeli forces while waiting for food near an aid distribution site run by the #US-backed #Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in central Gaza, as Israeli attacks on starving aid seekers have become a grim daily reality.

When they reached, American mercenaries closed the gate and sprayed pepper spray, causing mass panic and suffocation due to the gas and overcrowding. So far, more than 20 people have been killed.
According to survivors, the American mercenaries deliberately closed the gate as aid seekers arrived, causing crushing overcrowding. The Americans then began spraying pepper spray and tear gas, which led to panic and chaos, resulting in people being trampled and killed.
One survivor said there were thousands of aid seekers, adding that these are “not aid sites” but “mass death traps” designed to lure starving people."

The death toll from aid-related incidents in Gaza has reached 995, with over 6,000 injured and dozens still missing, according to a press statement issued on Sunday by the Government Media Office in #Gaza.
The statement reported that these casualties occurred between May 27 and July 20, 2025. The office accused Israeli occupation forces of targeting desperate civilians trying to reach aid convoys, adding that the victims were primarily starving individuals seeking basic necessities.
In addition to the 995 confirmed deaths, the report noted 6,011 injuries and 45 missing persons, whose whereabouts remain unknown.

The World Food Programme (WFP) has condemned Israeli forces for opening fire on starved civilians gathered near a WFP humanitarian convoy in northern Gaza. The attack occurred on July 20 and left many civilians dead or severely wounded.
According to WFP, the 25-truck convoy had entered Gaza through the Zikim crossing point, carrying vital food aid for desperate communities trapped in the north. The convoy passed all required Israeli military checkpoints and had received assurances of a safe passage.
But shortly after crossing, the trucks encountered large crowds of Palestinians waiting for food. As the convoy approached, Israeli tanks and snipers opened fire on the civilians. Gaza’s hunger emergency is deepening. One in three people is not eating for days. A one-kilogram bag of flour now costs more than $100. Malnutrition is rising fast, especially among children and pregnant women. Over 90,000 women and children need urgent treatment. 19 civilians, mostly children, have died of hunger in the past 24 hours.
“We are ready. We have food nearby, teams on the ground, and the experience to respond. But we need access,” the WFP said. qudsnen.co/wfp-israeli-tanks-a…

Israeli media confirmed that another soldier committed suicide after serving more than 300 days in Gaza, where he took part in killing innocent civilians.
From a news article, "...Israelis already exhausted after two years of war.'
What war? Constantly bombing and killing people who are utterly incapable of retaliating is not a war. So exhausting having to kill so many people. Must be so tough.
Non-sarcastically: if you're a decent person who wants all this suffering and cruelty to end, living in Israel *must* be exhausting. Being made an unwilling participant in genocide means having to find ways to oppose it, a miserable situation to be in, to be sure.
But I don't have any sympathy for anyone who is simply tired of killing. You wanted to kill people, so stop whining about how hard it is on you emotionally.
