'High-profile' Israeli military, intelligence sites hit by Iranian missiles: Report
Israelâs Defense Ministry complex in Tel Aviv, known as the Kirya, was among the targets directly struck by ballistic missiles
#Klimakrise? War da was? Anscheinend nicht fĂŒr die Bundesregierung, die möglichst schnell ein Abkommen zur Gasförderung in der Nordsee durchdrĂŒcken will. Der Vertragstext lese sich âwie ein Wunschzettel der fossilen Industrieâ, kritisiert die @umwelthilfe.
The killing of Mohammad, a 16-year-old Palestinian boy, who was shot dead by Israeli forces while seeking food aid in northern Gaza. The account comes from his uncle Mo, an NHS consultant surgeon who has worked in the UK for 20 years.
[âŠ] People are completely desperate so they do risk their lives to go and get some food for their families, but then they die. Heâs only a little story of thousands of other stories of people like that â just extermination.
The policies now being implemented â from massive rearmament to the escalation of conflict with Russia â are not rooted in a cold pursuit of German national interests, but in their negation
Abused and neglected animals can not only learn to trust again, but become outrageously goofy and loyal companions, just from a little love and compassion.
Abused and neglected humans can and often do this too, and choose to raise their offspring better than they were raised.
Add to the list anything that sparks hope and joy for you, no matter how small.
I've always admire the story of "Las Patronas" a group of women that provide food and water to the people migrating from the south to the north in America. They are amazing women doing it for humanity reasons and nothing else. What solidarity should look like everywhere #laspatronas #humanity
My Tiny Dog, picture attached, has some trauma (we know not what) in her past.
When she goes to sleep with her head in my hand I feel like the luckiest person in the world to be trusted by this tiny creature with no reason to trust people.
Other things that bring me hope/joy are: âą My son texting me out of the blue to ask how I am. âą A painting my husband and I bought recently as a belated celebration of our 25th Wedding Anniversary. âą My niece and nephews. âą Seeing plant life growing out of man made structures (it feels like a perfect "fuck you, I will prevail" from nature âą Dancing âą Hearing kids laughing
I teach kids to play chess (adults too). I don't have any ambitions to teach the next World Champion. I just want to teach the joy of playing a game, of enjoying a pastime. I want to help change the culture of laughing at the chess nerds, at making kids appreciate that they can enjoy whatever pastime they want, and let others enjoy what they want.
So it gives me a ray of hope when a child starts playing chess, and I taught their parent! The parent fondly remembers the chess class and has no problem encouraging their kid to try it out. It gives me hope when I can positively impact someone's life, even in the smallest way, and then they pay it forward.
I used to have a dalmatian who was abandoned by her former owners. She showed some signs of having been abused, but I didn't know her history. With me, she became a fat funny grrrl with a huge personality. She loved the nat'l forest and fig newtons, and had a huge heart. After she went blind, we developed a way for me to move her leash so she knew when to step up or go left or right. She trusted me enough to run on leash. And she was really patient when the toddler pulled her ears.
i trained dogs as a side gig and volunteered to rehab former fighting dogs. Some couldnât be rehabbed but many could, and I would cry with joy when one would be rehabbed and go home with a perfect owner willing to carry on the training
"That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Because they were holding on to something. FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam? SAM: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo."
My sister owns a cat who was traumatized when it was young. It became a member of her household because it was so good at hiding and avoiding humans. Yes, it hid its way into permanent residency. Only my sister could pet it. No one else, in her household. It only slowly and reluctantly allows said petting from my sister, always on the verge of darting away, even well into adulthood. It fairly recently allowed me to pet it - I have superhuman cat charms. Virtually no cat alive can resist loving me. My sister could scarcely believe this and filmed this to secure the evidence - like filming a rare sighting of the Loch Ness monster.
My dog Zephyr was pretty much left alone, not trained, would only eat kids snacks, and probably beaten because she's hyperactive and gets the biting zoomies. At the adoption place, they told me not to get her. That she has developmental delays and she attacks children. Every once in a while she has a nightmare about those days, semi-wakes up and mumbles about it to me like I can understand before snuggling and going back to sleep.Thankfully those nightmare are getting less and less. She also loves going on road trips and to the farmers market where she tries to convince me to adopt more pets. đ
You know where's a great place to go if everything in the world seems cruel and hard? The library. A place where you can just go and borrow a book and nobody tries to sell you anything, and you bring it back when you're done, and the staff who aren't getting any kind of commission or anything are always happy to see you and always ready to help. And if you want to just sit around and read whilst you're there, that's fine. If you want to take kids and help them to enjoy reading, they love that. The public library is like a singular vestige of a world that humans could've built, but didn't.
The sky is different every day. I realized yesterday, as I was driving home along my regular commute route, that even if I get tired of driving back and forth along the same road, I can look up and see something completely new. #hope
The resiliency of the natural world - eg: flowers that grow out of the soil beneath asphalt and bloom into the sunlight; trees that grow in the direction of the prevailing wind; the perfect balance of an ecosystem.
Then I remind myself that humans are also part of the natural world and we have the potential for resilience - for the simple strength of beauty and moving with the winds of change and stepping back into balance with the rest of life on earth.
also, lake superior. it's a healing place (and a big one). everyone who's been near it for even a little while agrees. there's something about it. endless water, clear and cold, way out to the horizon and far past it. it's always been there and it always will be.
we can literally redraw the neural pathways in our brains that lead to certain thinking patterns. takes some determination and probably therapy (a little ketamine helps), but it can be done. repeating affirmations, "acting as if" the new, good thing is true, until it actually feels true, etc.
one of the only things that gives me hope in this world right now.
Even with all the bigotry and transphobic laws these days, I still read posts from trans people excited about taking their first dose of HRT. Trans life goes on in defiance of those would snuff it out.
In my teens, I volunteered to tag nesting loggerhead sea turtles. They were at risk of extinction, but we were cautiously hopeful that turtle excluder devices on shrimp boats would help.
Since then, the number of turtles nesting at the site each year has increased by 8x. The project is still going!

thanks for sharing, and starting this thread đ I hope to adopt a dog at some point. I'm good with them myself but want to make sure other people are safe. To some extent grown-ups can be instructed to give a dog space, but kids seem to be more energetic and likely to run up screaming and grabbing/hugging. Do you all find that certain pups might need like *years* of healing first, or is this something a professional can acurately assess?
Despite all of the history of tyrannical powers swooping in and repressing human rights for their own agenda, this time around people have the ability to communicate directly with other people willing to stand up and resist. The AI disinfo surge feels like a strategy because of this, but because younger people have grown up hearing a greater diversity of stories it's hard to even make that stick. We just gotta reintroduce IRL community to allow resilience to grow exponentially.

What the fuck is wrong with rich people that they act confused when regular people hate their ostentatious displays of wealth?
Like, I don't care whether Bezos's wedding is as "respectful" of Venice or not, and I don't think people protesting care either. It's not about the disruptionâprotests will cause more disruptionâit's about the audacity of Bezos to think people wouldn't pelt him with rotten eggs if they got the chance.
Dude, Jeff, Bezos, my man, people hate you. You are more cruel and greedy and selfish than some of us can even imagine. Enjoy your wealth, I guess, but don't expect people to be nice or treat you well.
Interview with U.S. doctor on the ongoing Israeli massacres at "aid" sites in Gaza
Dr. Mark Brauner, a volunteer at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, "describes execution-style killings of Palestinians at food distribution sites &... the deaths of children suffering from malnutrition and starvation."
In Gaza, at least 41 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since midnight, including more Palestinians targeted by Israeli forces while seeking food and humanitarian aid.

We heard these canards leading up to the 2003 war in Iraq. Twenty-two years later they have been resurrected. Anyone who advocates for negotiations, for diplomacy and peace, is a stooge for terrorists.
Of course fuck the Democrats/DNC but the thing that infuriates me is my liberal friends fall for this. AND THEN YELL AT ME for being too progressive.
And they are right back at it. Supporting and even worse FOLLOWING the lead of the Dem/DNC BS machine.
I don't know the answers and I am always ready to be shown I'm wrong, but one thing I strongly believe is:
Things don't change w/o friction. Things don't change without getting in someone's way. I think this is why there is all of this new "non violence" rhetoric. When did that become a thing? I think it is just another way for liberals to tell progressive or more left people they are "going too far". Fuck that shit.
violence is another word for friction.
even MLK and Ghandi were "violent", it's just that they suffered the violence. So this no violence feels like just a narrative to stifle change. You can't make an ommellte w/o breaking some eggs or something like that.

The voters who watch Fox and lend unquestioning support to Israeli maximalism are old and getting older. Meanwhile, Republicans between the ages of 18 and 49 have registered the sharpest rise in âunfavorable viewsâ toward Israel, jumping to 50% earlier this year, up from 35% in 2019, according to RealClear polling.
@Emmanuel Florac They seem to have one the first battle. The US and Israel will not stop unless Iran or some other entities force their hands. The war on Iran is just another phase of the war on multi-polarity. The hegemonic empire must crush any competition. This is the same war against Russia, China and any and all rivals.
The west, namely the US calculates that if she can disrupt the government and people of Iran, she will expose the vulnerabilities of Russia. She may be right at that, so it is imperative that the target nations move in unison to counter her offensives.
Most of history is just Jews trying to kill, steal, and destroy as much as possible, ppl reacting to their actions, and the fallout of those reactions.
The recent ceasefire declared between Iran and the U.S.-Israel axis might appear to be a temporary pause in escalating tensions. However, it reflects a
I think what establishment democrats need to understand is that most of us hate them all very much for being so persistently useless and shitty in our time of desperation and it fills our hearts with hope and joy when someone who might not be those things beats them.
Domains? Where weâre going, we donât need domains! Until the end of this year, the only way to have a secure web site is to have it accessible via a domain name. That, however, is changing.
One thing to keep in mind: the DNS system was set up in part because IP addresses are changed every so often, partlyi due to hierarchical routing, and a domain name was intended to provide a stable name for a host. If that host physically moved or if the network topology changed, that host's IP address might have to change as well.
Love the idea! If they allow us to take ip numbers with us, I would even drop my domain names. The trade off is that if I change host my Web Number changes right?
@geep Yeah but there will be forwarding in Small Web sites (at least) so as long as you keep both servers up for a transitionary period everyoneâs address books should have time to update. (I donât see the address books being static things; the forwarding will be part of the Small Web protocol.)
I love the idea, but yes, you become vulnerable to blocking. If a state asks my provider to stop my site, thereâll not time for forwarding. Today, having a registar separate from the host helps mitigate that. Still 1) it doesnât have to solve everything, and 2) staying in the censuring theme, it can be a major pain for censors (when the censor is in a different juridiction) as the usual DNS blocks wonât work anymore.
BTW, in time, do you see a convergence with the Gamini protocol? @geep
I once thought of this DNS idea with word lists. You make four lists of 256 words each and share those word lists around. You create them so that when you pick one random word from each you get things like "wild horse stacking grass" or "nimble capybara smelling cement". Then we can share easier to remember website numbers by referring to the four words in the shared list. You could even make the browser do the look-ups.
So pretend you're looking for a plumber and you happen to drive by a plumber's truck in your neighborhood. They have their web site listed on the side of their truck.
Would you rather have remember mycityplumber.com or 135.181.044.050?
I can remember a 7 digit phone number.
Plus, no more shared hosting.
Along with the problems others have mentioned.
There's a reason domain names were invented in the first place.
Excellent. So use a domain name. No oneâs stopping you đ
This is something new that is important as it will be the *default* for the *Small Web* â the web of *people* not plumbing companies.
Plumbing companies are more than welcome â and maybe one-person or tiny ones would find it useful and, if they do, they can point mycityplumber.com to their Small Web site. But Iâm not building the Small Web for companies â the Big Web exists for that â Iâm building it for people.
I like the idea but seeing as how there are already actual people without access to full ipv4 connectivity, I can only think of it as a cool alternate history that was only practical for some time.
One thing I do like about phone numbers is that I can take them with me every time I change providers. I'd like that for IPs.
@mwaters Yep, and if the idea was to have people download a separate app, I could just make it an app đ The idea is that itâs the web that exists, although with instances of one; not a different web. And that it works with regular browsers. Lots of other tools/projects exist that are exploring alternative networks, browsers, etc. (And thatâs good.)
@tykayn Latter sounds like a job for IPv6. But Iâm sure weâll tackle that when we get to it. My focus is on getting the core ready for use at the moment ;)
I like the idea of simply saving IP addresses to my address book, though changing number seems like a hassle (about as bad as changing phone numbers, only I expect it to happen more often).
And I guess you still need a domain name to run Catalyst for multiple users? (Needing to get it on the PSL already seems like a problem anyway)
@rigrig You donât need it on the PSL if youâre setting up servers at IP addresses, only if youâre doing so at domains.
I would expect an IP address to change only if youâre moving hosts in the VPS deployment scenario. And Kitten already supports forwarding. Yarn will also have server migration as a first-class citizen. So that should help mitigate that issue đ
I like the idea, but how do we keep an IP going from provider to provider? IPs are even more fragile than domains and changing that fact seems near impossible.
Instead, couldnât a trusted nonprofit (say @eff or ISRG) buy a gTLD from ICANN, become a registrar and rent out domains at (very close to) self-cost with no insane price hikes? Picture what ISRG did with @letsencrypt, but for domains.
Running costs for this would currently be a fixed fee of US$6,250 per calendar quarter and a transaction fee of US$0.25[1]. These costs could be split on all registrants.
Some would probably say that .org is the answer, but the PIR drama in 2020[2] shows how fragile this system is. We *need* a TLD that doesnât need to be saved by the @eff from hostile takeovers.
Imagine: more registrants would mean lower prices. Thatâs far from how gTLDs function now. A sudden spike in interest could introduce a sudden price increase.
If you come at the nonprofit sector, youâd best not miss.Nonprofits and NGOs around the world were stunned last November when the Internet Society (ISOC) announced that it had agreed to sell the Public Interest Registryâthe organization that manages âŠ
@mikael @eff Migration can be built at the app layer (Kitten already supports it natively for all apps created with it). Both servers would have to be online for a period of time to allow peopleâs address books time to update.
I do like your non-commercial TLD idea too. Would love to see that and it would be a nice complementary tool. Could easily be done as an EU-funded project if the political will was there.
(Basically, that was/is what I was hacking at the second-level domain level using the Public Suffix List until this latest Letâs Encrypt development.)
Bread dough rising on the counter, warming from its night in the fridge. A few more minutes and I'll light the oven.
