People who don't admit they have hearing loss are annoying. No, I'm not talking quietly - everyone else can hear me. Get your ears checked, pick up your hearing aid, and stop saying "what? what?"
And certainly don't suggest we go someplace noisy to continue the conversation.
Should probably get your eyes checked while you are at it. Those are probably not at their peak either.

The British government is planning to ban the activist group Palestine Action and designate it as a terrorist organization, following their actions at a Royal Air Force base where they sprayed two jets with red paint.
This move has been criticized by various human rights organizations and political figures, who argue it's an attempt to suppress civil liberties and hide the UK's accountability in the Gaza conflict.
We've seen 20 months of genocide in #Gaza, and along those 20 months we have seen the international institutions do shit. The highest court in the world, the #ICJ, hasn't done anything to stop it. The #ICC ruled a detention order against Netanyahu and he's walking free as if nothing. The UN security Council has seen, literally, more vetoes than resolutions on Gaza.
Israel stopped both the #FreedomFlotilla and the #GlobalMarchtoGaza
International authorities and State power appear powerless.
The only exceptions being #Yemen and other, non-State actors (Hezbollah, etc.) ( #Iran has a very strong pro Palestine policy, but it didn't enter the war with Israel over it, but over being directly attacked by the entity).
We should draw conclusions from this. We should reflect on what it means that the international institutions and the world's States can't or won't 'do anything.
What does that mean. If institutions won't act, who needs to do it, and how.
For me the answer is very clearly that we need direct action, no representative or professional activist or what have you can do what we need to do DIRECTLY, by our own (collective) hands. And secondly, that if these governments and institutions don't act in our behalf, if they are the tools that carry out the genocide and the damage control over the genocide, then we need to get rid of them. Those institutions should not exist.
There is no justice, just us.

"The goal is to take away your right to criticize a foreign apartheid state’s genocide, with the eventual goal of taking away your right to criticize US foreign policy. And this is the vehicle for doing it. It starts today, with the visa holders and the Green Card holders, but they will come for the natural-born citizens eventually, too, if they get away with this."

"Microsoft did not test Windows 10 on the machines that ran Windows 11, or vice versa. they actually used a 10-year-old chip in a modern benchmark.
Can you guess how old the CPUs on all these Windows 11 PCs are? They are all from 2022 or later, the only exception to this is the i7-1065G7 which was released in 2019. It also happens to be the only CPU which was also tested on Windows 10. Notice how the CPU frequencies of the Windows 11 machines have been casually omitted?"

As with a lot of 90s software, it’s a bit more complicated than which source code did they download (or, rather, mail order on floppy… because it was the 90s). Not the least of which is due to the fact that many of the projects don’t exist anymore and there weren’t that many copies to begin with.
However, they both embrace and extend LDAP and Kerberos among other open and not open projects of the time. Both choices were related to the results of the Protocol Wars and Microsoft’s attempts, in the 90s, to do to the Internet what Google is doing today.

Trump was given a new defence-spending target of 5% of GDP, which some countries struggle to meet.

If Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit harbors this love for the Jewish people then ought we not share this same attitudeMikale Olson (The Christian Post)
Tucker Carlson/Ted Cruz face-off. Others veer into antisemitism, demonizing Jewish people as a whole.
Both extremes miss the mark.
Scripture, particularly Romans 9–11, offers clarity: the modern Israeli government is not biblical Israel, but God’s covenant with the Jewish people endures, and hatred toward them is sin. Let’s unpack this with biblical truth, clarity, and apply it to our fractured world.
