NEW YORK, June 12 (YPA) - The UN Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, briefed on Thursday the Security Council (SC) on developments in Yemen, affirming the international consensus that a negotiated settlement is the best solution to end the conflict and a
Do local communities have any right to object to the imposition of alien, or at least unfamiliar, cultures upon them? Is it always irrational and xenophobic to resent someone because of their apparent refusal to learn the language of the country in which they have chosen to live? Is it similarly unreasonable to object to the amount of local authority resources devoted towards easing that problem?
And while it is both dangerous and unjust to make blanket assumptions about any nationality’s attitudes to women and sex, it is undeniable that certain cultures have, by western standards, an outdated view of women’s roles in society. Until relatively recently, it was decreed by our political masters that we should never cast aspersions on such attitudes and cultures, but such restrictions are no longer taken seriously, not after the grooming gangs scandal, or Kemi Badenoch’s warning that not all cultures are equally valid.

Years ago, I suspected the new dishwasher detergent tablets and pods being heavily pushed were a ripoff. I put a tablet in a Ziploc bag and crushed it with a hammer, then measured the resultant powder: about 2 tablespoons (30 mL). That struck me as grossly excessive, in line with the "always fill all detergent cups to maximum for best results" instrux on detergent powder boxes (and then liquid/gel bottles).
So I bought a box of regular ol' normal ol' boring ol' dishwasher powder and started experimenting. 1 tablespoon (15 mL): dishes completely clean. 2 teaspoons (10 mL): dishes completely clean. Mind, I scrape off loose leavings, but almost no dishes get rinsed before they go in the dishwasher.
The math quickly showed that yup, the pods and powders are a complete scam. So for years now, we've had this what you see here under the sink, with a teaspoon measure in.
The dishes consistently get perfectly clean, but I've never liked that dishwasher-detergent smell they have after. It occurred to me the other night I'd stopped the experiment without inceeding 2 teaspoons, so I tried 1 teaspoon (5 mL — probably more like 6ish; I don't level off the teaspoon, just scoop-shake-dispense).
Result: dishes perfectly clean. They couldn't possibly be any cleaner, so all the marketing babble about the pods unlocking whole new levels of Ultra Platinum Extreme Clean are bulk wrap. And the dishes now come out smelling of…nothing.
I'm not gonna retire on the savings, but every bit helps. There's a whole lot less waste this way, in money and detergent and packaging and production. The powder comes in a recyclable-for-real paperboard box rather than a recyclable-nudge-wink-lol plastic tub.
As I've done this much schtick, I might's well make a complete job of it: Consumer Reports' latest test of dishwasher detergent doesn't include powders, they say, because most people buy pods and tablets. That's antithetical to CR's nominal mission; decades ago they'd've done my same math and experiments and recommended avoiding the scam and buying the powders they found to work well.

🚨 Cloudflare faces a massive global outage due to a third-party failure, disrupting thousands of websites and key services like Workers KV, AI, and authentication tools. Google Cloud also impacted. No data lost, no cyberattack.
@nemo So, a third-party service has an outage because of a third-third-party. It's third parties all the way down, isn't it? Nobody does anything of their own anymore.

You can't just get rid of whole groups of people you don't like or don't get along with. You have to learn to live with them. And you don't even know all of them. You can't. It's not possible. So, you don't even realize that you are one of them. There is a YOU in the group of people. And if you become a part of a people who is willing to do this kind of thing? There is nothing to prevent you from being next. Because you exit humanity through that door.
The Israeli government has effectively legalized the annexation of over 60% of the West Bank, but no one’s talking about it. Here’s what this means for Palestinians.
Was just hanging up some washing, in between writing, and my mind drifted back to last month's surreal situation - when, out-of-the-blue, that politician took away my literary award. So bizarre and illogical that I needed to remind myself that it didn't just happen in my imagination.
As an author of odd literary fiction, I love developing characters that are satirical caricatures of the most ridiculous and/or worst kinds of people. I really need to hone my imaginative skills, as I could never have created a character so ridiculous and wrong as that particular politician. Or write a scene so unbelievably bizarre. And the word salad speech that he gave in parliament was pure comedy.
How can I be upset when the situation and 'villain' are so utterly ridiculous? One day, I will add a version of him to a novel. At the very least, it's what he deserves.
He would be a character with few lines, and an odd demise. Perhaps he's crushed by the books that he's ordered the state library to burn? He takes his last breath under the weight of Palestinian poetry, Aboriginal novels, and tomes of critical whiteness theory.
Ten million fireflies lit up the world as Owl City fell asleep, therefore, byvthe rules specified, I already do not believe my eyes. (No rules to unset this flag have been given yet.)

Following the Israeli military action against Iran on the morning of 13 June, various countries and international bodies have condemned the Israeli crimes in violating international law and Iranian territory.
"This is a simple story, one that should be all too familiar to European publics if they were educated in their own histories.
For centuries, Europeans spread outwards - driven by a supremacist zealotry and a desire for material gain – to conquer the lands of others, to steal resources, and to subordinate, expel and exterminate the natives that stood in their way.
The native people were always dehumanised. They were always barbarians, "human animals", even as we – the members of a supposedly superior civilisation – butchered them, starved them, levelled their homes, destroyed their crops.
Our mission of conquest and extermination was always divinely blessed. Our success in eradicating native peoples, our efficiency in killing them, was always proof of our moral superiority.
We were always the victims, even while we humiliated, tortured and raped. We were always on the side of righteousness.
Israel has simply carried this tradition into the modern era. It has held a mirror up to us and shown that, despite all our grandstanding about human rights, nothing has really changed.
There are a few, like Greta Thunberg and the crew of the Madleen, ready to show by example that we can break with the past. We can refuse to dehumanise. We can refuse to collude in industrial savagery. We can refuse to give our consent through silence and inaction.
But first we must stop listening to the siren calls of our political leaders and the billionaire-owned media. Only then might we learn what it means to be human."
Israel is completing its genocide. Keir Starmer says the aid blockade is 'intolerable'. And yet day after day he tolerates Israel’s bombs, gunfire and mass starvation campaign

Featured in the film "A Star Is Born", the official music video showcases Gaga's powerful vocals and emotional delivery, making it a standout moment in both the movie and her discography.
Lyrics: That Arizona sky Burning in your eyes You look at me and babe, I wanna catch on fire It's buried in my soul Like California gold You found the light in me that I couldn't find
So when I'm all choked up, but I can't find the words Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts When the sun goes down And the band won't play I'll always remember us this way
Lovers in the night Poets trying to write We don't know how to rhyme, but damn we try But all I really know You're where I wanna go The part of me that's you will never die
So when I'm all choked up, but I can't find the words Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts When the sun goes down And the band won't play I'll always remember us this way
Oh, yeah I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
So when I'm all choked up, but I can't find the words Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts When the sun goes down And the band won't play I'll always remember us this way, way, yeah
When you look at me And the whole world fades I'll always remember us this way
Ooh-ooh, hmm Oh, no, hm-hm

I was talking to a fellow member of the #resistance who was talking to friends from Canada as well as overseas & learned that many were viewing us Americans as “one,” as either supporting that man occupying the White House or perhaps being silently complicit, which prompted this post.
This man, this regime which camouflages its xenophobic atrocities under the banner of gross exaggeration of criminal activity among illegal immigrants, is NOT my president. Boost if you agree.
According to the Balfour Declaration, Israel was allowed to exist provided they did nothing to harm the people who were already there, in the British Protectorate of Palestine.
Since they have ignored that for decades, there must be a strong case for discontinuing the experiment, and removing them from Palestine. America has always supported them, and has plenty of room.
They could probably fit Israel in Kansas several times over. And, as Mormons believe that Native Americans are the “Lost Tribe of Israel”, there’s a *kind* of justification…
"Why is the media ignoring growing resistance to Trump?" is a good question, here theguardian.com/commentisfree/… asked by the former media columnist for The Washington Post and public editor of The New York Times, Margaret Sullivan.

Lyrics: Now I know how to get down on the floor (Floor) Experience in moves you can't ignore ('nore) But something bout this beat just got me hooked (Hooked) Come over here and take a closer look (Look)

It's taking me higher, higher Higher off the ground It's taking me higher, higher Higher off the ground
