It's not the Jewish people as a whole oppressing Palestine. I refuse to fall into the fascist framing of Israel as the representative state of a pan-Jewish volk.

It's a nuclear military and ethnonationalist government, in conjunction with almost the entirety of the governments and leaders of the Western world, that is oppressing the Palestinian people. Many of the people who are complicit are not even Jewish!

The same settler colonialism of the British colonists in North America, the same genocidal fanaticism seen in 1990s Rwanda and 1940s Germany, and the same greed of the United States imperialists in Vietnam and Cuba is coming back once more to haunt yet another people.

I repeat, Thomas Massie is a Grandstander. He shows up at the 11th hour, makes a speech so many in MAGA or Libertarians want to hear and knows his vote does not count.

He COULD:
Work with POTUS
Work with his constituents
Work with his colleagues
Work with DOGE
to cut the budget and have widespread support to do so.

I can understand why POTUS is frustrated with him.

Meanwhile, as he garners press, and money, Elon Musk is getting attention for cutting the budget.

Tayab Ali, director of the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, spoke at a panel in London titled "Genocide in Gaza: Trump’s Policy, and the Crisis of Law and Media," organised by the ICJP.

Ali warned that international law is not only failing Palestinians but is at risk of collapsing altogether. He argued that when governments ignore legal obligations, people begin to lose faith in the entire legal system.

Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered surprising new clues about a hefty, rapidly aging star whose behavior has never been seen before in our Milky Way galaxy. In fact, the star is so weird that astronomers have nicknamed it “Nasty 1,” a play on its catalog name of NaSt1. The star may represent a brief transitory stage in the evolution of extremely massive stars.

First discovered several decades ago, Nasty 1 was identified as a Wolf-Rayet star, a rapidly evolving star that is much more massive than our sun. The star loses its hydrogen-filled outer layers quickly, exposing its super-hot and extremely bright helium-burning core.

But Nasty 1 doesn’t look like a typical Wolf-Rayet star. The astronomers using Hubble had expected to see twin lobes of gas flowing from opposite sides of the star, perhaps similar to those emanating from the massive star Eta Carinae, which is a Wolf-Rayet candidate.

Instead, Hubble revealed a pancake-shaped disk of gas encircling the star. The vast disk is nearly 2 trillion miles wide, and may have formed from an unseen companion star that snacked on the outer envelope of the newly formed Wolf-Rayet. Based on current estimates, the nebula surrounding the stars is just a few thousand years old, and as close as 3,000 light-years from Earth.

"Eğer Tanrı mantık yasalarından özgürce sorumluysa, onları olduklarından başka türlü de yaratabilirdi. Yani çelişmezlik yasasını yanlış yapabilirdi. Yani hem Tanrı'nın var olduğunu hem de olmadığını, hem mantık yasalarının ona bağlı olduğunu hem de olmadığını doğru kılabilirdi. Ancak bu, Tanrı'nın var olmamasının ve mantık yasalarının ona bağlı olmamasının mümkün olmasını gerektirir. Fakat mantık yasaları Tanrı'ya bağlıysa, o zaman zorunlu olarak bağlıdırlar. Yani Tanrı'ya bağlı değillerdir. Dolayısıyla varsayımcılık kendi kendini yok eder." (Evan Fales)

@EdBoatConnoisseur @Immahnoob @verita84 I mean Kaine gets a pass because she had no choice in being given both.

Kinda unfair to stick the "but it's gay" lable to her. Because mald or female, due to her nature. It be gay regardless who she goes with because she has both.

Not exactly fair to Kaine. Plus fictional character (wtf am I defending as fiction character... :blob_cunnysob:)

Tbh I don't think you can call liking Kaine as gay or straight since paradoxically...it's both and neither. Especially since the RL equivalent is so rare that they basically don't exist out side very rare documented case sin history. I don't even think there's been a recent one inexistence they are that rare.

Female runners arming themselves with 'deep heat spray' amid disturbing rise in men 'spitting' on women runners

LBC @LBC
lbc.co.uk/news/exclusive/women…

"One in ten women say they have been spat on while running - as 'spitting' on women becomes an alarming and underreported form of street harassment.

LBC's Shelagh Fogarty spoke to Alice Giddings, a journalist at Metro, who worked with her publication to commission a study that found almost half of those surveyed (1,500 female runners) would feel safer if they were legally allowed to carry pepper spray.

Alice was a victim of this disturbing form of harassment, previously telling Shelagh about the horrific experience in May: "I was coming to the end of my run, I started to slow down and heard shouting, swearing, [I then] turned around and a giant glob of spit landed on my leg."

Ms Giddings said it was "very apparent that it was intentional".

Unfortunately, two weeks later, the same thing happened again.

Ms Giddings appeared on Shelagh's show again to talk about how women are so afraid that they are considering arming themselves with a weapon.

The original study found that 10% of female runners have been spat at or spat on while running.

This alarming statistic led Metro to commission another survey, which found 48% of women runners said they'd feel safer if they were legally allowed to take a form of spray as a defence against men while they are running.

Ms Giddings told Shelagh: "Six per cent of women runners, which actually equates to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of women already do take a form of spray out."

She described how an alternative to pepper spray that some women are turning to is "deep heat spray".

However, using a self-defence weapon in the UK remains illegal - no matter its form.

"The second you essentially step out of the door with anything, even if it's a mundane, everyday item, if you have intent to use that to protect yourself, it's illegal.

"And you'll honestly probably end up with a worse punishment than someone who is harassing you. And it's a really bleak reality," she told LBC.

This is because, compared to the US, UK law "has a focus on de-escalation and conflict resolution", Ms Giddings explained.

Ms Giddings told Shelagh the second survey "points to a hugely systemic problem in the terms that ... women have been conditioned and unfortunately do feel that the onus is on us to protect ourselves from men while we're out running."

She described how an alternative to pepper spray that some women are turning to is "deep heat spray".

Shocked by the initial attack, Ms Giddings commissioned a study alongside Women's Running after posting a call-out on a women's social media group to find out if others had been impacted by the horrendous incident.

Ms Giddings told Shelagh in May she was astonished by the response: "I got 80 replies in 24 hours".

Ms Giddings continued: "Every single woman I've spoken to was spat on in busy built up areas. So it's not like they're in a park alone at night - they're taking every precaution they can and it's still not working."

She added: "the onus should be on men, it shouldn't be on women to have to protect ourselves. We need to educate people and we need to make it more of an issue about it."

Ms Giddings slammed the actions of those who commit acts of street harassment, telling Shelagh: "It's hurtful and it's traumatising, and it hurts even more that we are subjected to so many more acts of violence against women and this is, unfortunately, the cherry on top."

She called for greater education of young boys in schools.

"We need to start having these conversations. Yes, it's not all men, but it's a lot of men."

Ms Giddings explained that the awful incident led to her changing her routine as she would then only run with her partner and would avoid the busy road where the attacks took place.

This comes as the Metropolitan Police are looking into reports of body-slamming attacks across London after four people were assaulted in Mile End in May, according to the Express.

TikTok user Ayla Mellek begged Londoners to be careful as she recounted an incident where a man deliberately "body-slammed" her to the ground on an East London canal path.

She said in a TikTok video: "I just got assaulted today in broad daylight."

Mellek said she was walking on the canal path in Mile End when she saw "this guy running towards me."

In regard to big instances shutting down and search results


You can still see lemm.ee for example on search results since the metadata was saved by it, you can see a snippet and the topic title but of course upon clicking you will hit a dead end since its been shutdown.

Is there something like Serpia Search use case for browsing content from PeerTube instances to be used to search such topics we can still see on search engine results to find them without necessarily using an instance? I was wondering if there was and had an API maybe it could be used like on SearX to gather an alternative link for such cases when clicking in a result from a closed instance

Solange sie Todeszahlen bei Kälte noch mehr als das Zehnfache der Hitzetoten ausmachen, kann ich den Aufreger nicht verstehen.

Einfach mal Qwanten: Hitzetote vs Kältetote.

Es gibt genug Studien dazu.

Auch eine einfache Logik erklärt hier das größere Problem der Kälte.
Wir denken einfach mal nach wo den nun mehr Menschen dauerhaft leben.

In den Kälteregion, oder in den Wüstenregionen?

Eben, so isses, Hitze kann der Mensch besser ab als Kälte.

Die Eiszeit war eine Katastrophe.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders condemned the Republican budget reconciliation package in stark terms during a floor speech late Sunday -- calling the measure
“the most dangerous piece of legislation in the modern history of our country”
and warning that its massive cuts to Medicaid, federal nutrition assistance, and other programs would have deadly consequences nationwide.

“Over 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every year,” said Sanders (I-Vt.),
referring to a recent study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Yale, who examined the likely impacts of Republicans’ proposed healthcare cuts.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated over the weekend that the Senate reconciliation package,
which could pass as soon as Tuesday, would 🆘 slash Medicaid by more than $1 trillion and strip health insurance from nearly 12 million Americans over the next decade.

'People will die': #Maine nurses protest #MedicaidCuts in Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'

Aysia Reed, Tue, July 1st 2025 at 12:21 PM

PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Senators could vote on Tuesday on President Donald #Trump's self-proclaimed '#BigBeautifulBill,' a sweeping policy document that lawmakers have been debating all day and night.

"They are in a phase where any senator can add an amendment, known as a 'vote-a-rama.'

"While the president was hoping to see it on his desk by July 4, senators have been back and forth since the weekend.

"One of the biggest hang ups between the parties has been proposed cuts to health care and programs like Medicaid.

"Nurses from across the state will be outside of Senator Susan Collins’ district office in Portland on Tuesday to protest the proposed medical cuts under Trump’s bill.

"This is part of a nationwide effort held by the group #NationalNursesUnited, which is the nation's largest #union of registered nurses.

"New estimates from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office show nearly 12 million Americans could lose their health insurance if Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' passes.

"Medicaid provides health care coverage to the most vulnerable populations. More than one in five people in the U.S. had health care covered by Medicaid in 2023, according to National Nurses United.

"Senator #AngusKing says an analysis shows 60,000 people in Maine would lose their coverage. That's 40,000 under #Medicaid and 20,000 under the #AffordableCareAct.

"Without insurance, he says people will die because they won't have access to routine care.

" 'The idea of cutting health insurance from people is not just, 'Oh well, they just won't have coverage for their doctor’s visits.' No, people die when they don’t have health insurance. There is statistical analysis to bear that out,' said King.

He sets the record straight in this condensed debut episode. New episodes will be uploaded as soon as they are completed, all condensed but with the same high-energy lunacy that characterized "The Little Nazi" -- and an outpouring of cold, hard truth that too few dare to speak.

Israelis 'Flooding' Into Cyprus to 'Buy Anything In Sight' 24 mins

Dimitri Lascaris travels to Cyprus to investigate reports in the Israeli and Cypriot media that Israelis have been 'flooding' into Cyprus and 'buying anything in sight'.

In the course of his investigation, Lascaris visited resorts and other business that quietly cater to an affluent Israeli clientele.

Lascaris also examined the little-discussed fact that the earliest Zionists viewed Cyprus as a stepping stone to the colonization of Palestine.

>>Bob Vylan's chants at Glastonbury are creating a lot of discourse around them, but the discussion is a distraction from the the much larger problem of genocidal songs and chants that Israelis and IDF soldiers sing constantly - as they genocide Palestinians - and from the much more important message that Bob Vylan's lyrics tell us about racism and global solidarity for common struggles against racism - in both England and Palestine....<<

It's very absurd to protect an institution, who is activly committing a genocide, who kills dozens of desperate, hungry people every day.

Yes - every organisation who kills dozens of people every day should be abolished, dismantled and those who are responsible should be sentenced.

Why should anybody demand less than this?
