So I am not on a Diet™️ because those things never work for me, but I am trying to replace my usual afternoon snacking with like... stuff that isn't as loaded with sugar and carbs
My big kick recently is a block of tofu for ridiculously cheap (like sub-80yen), cut into quarters, one block a day, covered in sliced chives, a dollop of garlic (I buy these in a tube), and soy sauce. It's good, it's salty, it gives me brain power for the afternoon, highly recommend
#food
The convenience and power of snacking tofu!
Used to have a fave iteration that was silken tofu topped with green onion + ponzu soy sauce + a few bonito flakes, copying off a much fancier restaurant appetizer. There might have been minced ginger too at one point, before lazine... economical ease of prep kicked in.

A very English genocide.
Excerpts from an open letter to UK PM Keir Starmer from the leaders of eight political parties of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland:
"The humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza is both man-made and avoidable. It is characterised not only by relentless bombardment and destruction, but by the deliberate creation of conditions that are starving a civilian population. The blocking of food, water, and medical supplies has precipitated what UN agencies and humanitarian experts describe as a man-made famine; one that is rapidly claiming lives and inflicting irreparable harm on an already traumatised population. [...]
Full letter available here:
nation.cymru/wp-content/upload…
"As a signatory to the Genocide Convention, the United Kingdom has a binding obligation to prevent acts that may amount to genocide and to ensure accountability for those responsible. Continued political, diplomatic, and military support to a government accused of committing such acts is not only morally indefensible but risks
placing the UK in breach of its international legal duties.
"We call upon you to:
1. Recall parliament to impose immediate sanctions on Israel
2. Support a ceasefire and meaningful diplomatic intervention to protect civilians and secure a just, lasting peace.
3. Immediately end all arms sales to Israel
4. Back independent, international investigations into alleged war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide in Gaza.
5. Use the UK’s diplomatic influence to press for the unimpeded delivery of food, water, medicine, and humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza"

Where are the Christian refugees fleeing Muslim countries because they really are persecuted by a Muslim government?
Why is it primarily Muslim refugees who are allowed to practice their Muslim religion in a Muslim country that are leaving to non Muslim countries?
Why did Jews let Muslims in the Gates of Toledo resulting in people who label themselves as Christian or Catholic getting killed in massive numbers?

'A soldier who founded a white nationalist group and self-identified as a Nazi has pleaded guilty to attempted espionage. He provided maps of military facilities and defence system login details to an undercover officer posing as an agent of a foreign country.'
Paparoa adds:
'The soldier had reasonable opsec, but had left enough clues for several anti-fascists to independently and categorically link the codename "Johan Wolfe" with his real-life identity.
The intelligence services were more interested in harrassing Muslims and peace activists.
"Wolfe" was a member of the Action Zealandia, Dominion Movement, and Wargus Christi neo-Nazi groups.
RNZ has incorrectly reported these groups as "nationalist".
There is plenty of evidence that all 3 groups are neo-Nazis, with members praising Hitler, the Holocaust and March 15.'

Randa Abdel-Fattah writes on the debacle that was the Bendigo Writers Festival 2025:
'... far easier to see is that the murder of journalists – the ultimate act of silencing – and institutional measures to silence writers and academics here are both about burying the testimony and the history and the claims of Palestinians, whether it is in graves inside Palestine or under the detritus of campaigns to criminalise Palestinians and their allies outside the homeland. Bearing witness and sharing witness are attacked together.'

no, pleroma is not a part of the GNU project and doesn't rely on GNU tools heavily to the best of my knowledge
I think it's legally Moon/Sun or shitposter club/world that has the original design copyright. I don't think she's becoming GNU any time soon
according to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, she was created by the "pleroma team" in 2019 and is published under the AGPLv3.
Although the license in the repo they link to on Wikipedia says it's CC-BY-SA-4.0 shitposter.club

If anything would disprove George Orwell's idea of Newspeak being an effective tool to prevent ideas from being expressed, it is the people on youtube using every annoying term to get around demonetization.
I find it annoying when I hear the term "unaliving" instead of suicide. Everyone knows what they mean, it just makes you have to jump through more hoops while everyone knows the real word they mean.
Annoying as it is, I am fine with less parts of 1984 being able to happen.
Newsspeak would eliminate jargon with alternative meanings until eventually only one word exists which is similar to the sound when a duck quacks
Repeating the same word out loud like a mantra would block other words from being verbally thought in the mind
Duck speak claim is shared in both George Orwell's 1984 & also Snapping Americas Epidemic of Personality Change by Conway and Flo if I remember the book title and author correctly but it is called Transcendental Meditation
