TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Israeli regime escalated its regional acts of aggression by targeting key ports and civilian infrastructure in Yemen, provoking renewed missile strikes by the Yemeni resistance in solidarity with Palestinians under occupation.
I have no idea. Probably not much. And that's probably because it makes no sense whatsoever when you have the population density of the US and you can just hop on a plane
The rail systems in China and Western Europe rely on high population densities but simply don't exist throughout most of the United States. In order to justify such rail systems in the United states, the population density of the country would have to rise by a factor of nearly 10. Actually doing that would bring about a huge ecological disaster, because much of the north American continent is already straining in a number of different critical resources such as water, and the amount of food production we could expect to see from the United States would drop catastrophically which would be a humanitarian disaster for huge swaths of the world.
When Europeans criticize Americans, they're continuing their long and storied history of trying to export their bad ideas mindlessly and end up killing a bunch of people in other continents. In the few cases that they were successful, they apologize for it later but obviously they don't feel sorry enough to stop trying to do it.
David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Ruby on Rails, has tailored together his take on Hyprland combined with Arch. It looks quite neat and promising and looks like a nice entry point for those who don't want to configure hyprland themselves. DHH describes Omarchy as:
Turn a fresh Arch installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system based on Hyprland by running a single command. That's the one-line pitch for Omarchy (like it was for Omakub). No need to write bespoke configs for every essential tool just to get started or to be up on all the latest command-line tools. Omarchy is an opinionated take on what Linux can be at its best.
Omarchy comes in different themes, and by the looks of it this are hotswappable on the go by using the keybinds: Super + Ctrl + Shift + Space.

my annoyance with his output aside, can we make it so that you can't use "beautiful" on your own shit? others can say your stuff is, you can't go "I created a beautiful xy".

Es ist einfach nur bitter, wie Jahrzehnte der Annäherung & die Errungenschaften von Schengen für eine Handvoll Populismus & Symbolpolitik aufgegeben werden. Ich habe in meiner Kindheit Stundenlang an dieser Grenze gestanden. Was für ein Rückschritt. 😢
Gestern, again: Halbe Stunde sinnloser Stau, nur um an zwei mäßig motiviert aussehenden Beamten vorbeizufahren. So viel Verschwendung von Lebenszeit. Über die wirtschaftlichen Folgen wird kaum gesprochen. Ebensowenig über das Trauma der von Racial Profiling Betroffenen.
Korrektur: Alle Kontrollen zusammengerechnet über die Jahre habe ich sicher Tage- oder sogar Wochenlang mit meiner Familie dort im Stau gestanden. Ein paar mal müssten wir sogar rechts ranfahren & den Kofferraum öffnen. Wahrscheinlich, weil mein Vater irgendwie „verdächtig“ aussah. Ich bin wütend.
Keine Kindheitserfahrungen mit DE/PL, aber dafür reichlich mit DE/DK. Rückstau vor Puttgarden war Standardprogramm, auch auf dem Landweg (A7) hat man im Hochsommer gern mal ein Weilchen gestanden. Will man nicht zurückhaben.
Das ist eben die Politik, die Menschen machen, die gerade mal von 12:00 Uhr bis Mittag denken. Und diese Menschen wurden von denen gewählt, deren (Denk)horizont an der eigenen Nasenspitze endet.
Dank unserer "Regierung" steuern wir auf einen Haufen Kleinstaaten mit Feudalsystem zu. Zusätzlich wird die Industrie so lange gepampert, bis auch der letzte Zug Richtung Innovationen abgedampft ist. (todon.eu/@autonomysolidarity/1…)

Es schmerzt jedes Mal, wenn ich über die Grenze nach Dänemark fahre und dort die Kontrolleure sehe - und jetzt auch noch in der Gegenrichtung, wegen Faeser damals noch - es ist eine Schande!
jupp... ich finde nur seltsam, dass hier der default-Reflex "Denkt denn niemand an die Wirtschaft?" gezogen wird.... wahrscheinlich liegts daran, dass das nix mit Klimaschutz zu tun hat, dann is Wirtschaft auch egal.
Mich macht das auch wirklich wütend. In den Nachrichten wird das noch als Erfolg vermerkt. Dank der Grenzkontrollen habe es in den letzten Wochen weniger Geflüchtete gegeben 😡 Die Einheit Europas ist für mich von so einem hohen Wert, ich könnte wirklich heulen, was die Populisten daraus machen.
Gleiche Erfahrung neulich bei der Heimfahrt aus dem Frankreich-Urlaub. Nach Mulhouse 30 min Stau, deutsche Polizisten an der Grenze, und rausgezogen wurde ein Auto mit bulgarischem Kennzeichen (wussten die Sheriffs nicht, dass Bulgarien EU-Mitglied ist?). Absolut bescheuerter Flashback in die 80er Jahre.
ja, die Grenzkontrollen damals waren so ätzend. Aus einer eigentlich kurzen Fahrt, schnell rüber zur Großtante, wurden mehrere Stunden verschwendete Lebenszeit.
Weiß echt nicht, warum das irgendwer zurück wollte.

I have so many things I want to do but just can't. Play a video game, read a book, take dog for walk, build a gadget I bought parts for, finish writing a song, finish building a computer... But no, I just sit there stuck. How do I get unstuck?
Imake a list and number them and then go on random.org and have it choose an integer and then i do the the thing on the list that matches the number randomly chosen.
This way i’m not making a decision, the lord of chaos is.
No it's really that the result feels like a decision imposed on me and my brain can't deal with that... It's the same if I start to do something I want, then someone calls to tell me to do it and now I can't do it anymore. Not sure if it's PDA or something else, but it's really annoying, especially in combination with AuDHD.
Challenges usually get the opposite reaction than demands for me, I can't even count all the stuff I've done because of it. Maybe self (not-)imposed challenges would work? I'll need to give it a try. Though challenges also have their problems, like picking the most stupid or pointless ideas because I was advised not to do it. I think there's a correlation between how stupid and pointless an idea is and how quickly my brain latches onto in 😅

In the course of a collaboration with the University of Baghdad, LMU's Enrique Jiménez has rediscovered a text that had been lost for a thousand years. A paper on this discovery is published in the journal Iraq.
From packing an emergency kit to navigating FEMA aid to finding legal services and mental health resources, this is a comprehensive guide to surviving and coping with natural disasters.
A pediatrician has been fired over a vile post suggesting that the more than 80 killed in the horrific Texas floods — including dozens of kids — were Trump supporters who got “what they voted for.”
Dr. Christina B. Propst drew widespread scorn following the disparaging, since-deleted post under her old Facebook username, Chris Tina, according to Mediaite.
“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” Probst wrote in the now-viral post.
Heard chanting and marching while doing yardwork, zipped over to check it out, and…
…lo and behold! an emergency protest in favor of immigrants rights, organized by miracmn.com in response to the SCOTUS threatening birthright citizenship.
Despite the apparent short notice, folks brought their game. Got a couple of photos (with permission). The guillotine actually moves up and down while the rider pedals!
Now I’m on MIRAC’s mailing list, so hopefully I don’t miss the next one.
Also, though…it is just deeply heartening to randomly encounter a protest: not a thing that I already knew about, but a thing that just •showed up• in my neighborhood. It makes me feel like the circle of resistance is much bigger than my own little circle. And it is.
That’s the feeling I want us to create: “Wow, these protests are everywhere.”
Things like this are not just a symbolic expression of discontent.
Fascism depends to a •very• large extent on anticipatory compliance. It needs people to feel like things are going that way, it’s already a done deal, better to just go along with it.
Every time dissent is visible, every way dissent feels ubiquitous, every time somebody feels like they’re not alone in opposition, every time somebody who’s tempted to comply fears there might be hell to pay if they do — that directly, concretely damages the fascists’ power.
I hear you! I also want to help these small protests find each other, merge, and grow stronger in numbers. People need to be see themselves, understand how many of us there are. We need millions in the streets, we need momentum, we need everyone to understand that the large majority of the country is disgusted by this unamerican bullshit.
Maya Khadra: Liban: Série de bombardements israéliens touchant le sud et la vallée de la Békaa. L’intensité des frappes d’aujourd’hui égale la force des bombardements pendant la guerre. C’est une réponse à l’entêtement du Hezbollah qui refuse le désarmement et qui risque d’entraîner le Liban encore une fois dans une guerre que les Libanais n’ont pas choisie. En effet, la proposition de l’envoyé US spécial Tom Barrack de désarmer le Hezb n’a pas eu de réponse officielle libanaise. La milice, quant à elle, a refusé catégoriquement le désarmement. Encore un échec pour le Président de la République et le Premier ministre. x.com/mayakhadra/status/194196…
#Haaretz is adding that #IDF arrested this morning (Monday) the chief editor of the Palestinian news agency Ma'an. Al-Laham is also the manager of the West Bank offices of the Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen, which is affiliated with Hezbollah. According to Maan, last night IDF forces arrested him at his home in the village of al-Doha in the Bethlehem area, and during the arrest the forces caused destruction in his house. It was also reported that al-Laham is expected to be brought to the Ofer court this coming Thursday for a hearing on extending his detention. The IDF has not yet provided a response on the matter.
One of the reporters of this item is Jack Khoury. AFAIK, he was one of the first Israeli journalists working in mainstream media to publish evidence of the genocide in Gaza on his social media account.

In the background, a boy can be seen carrying out the body of a girl in pouring rain. In Jabalia, they report finding 15 bodies in a state of decay inside a school. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the death toll has risen to 18,608 killed and more than 50,000 wounded since the start of the war."

A new report by Allianz Research warns that this summer’s extreme heat could cut Europe’s GDP by up to 0.5 percentage points in 2025, likening a single day over 32°C to "half a day of national strikes."
Heatwaves and climate change are projected to inflict severe damage on both global and national economies, with Germany facing potential losses of up to €1 trillion by 2050.
The economic toll is uneven across regions. Spain is expected to suffer the most, with projected losses reaching 1.4%, while Germany’s economy may shrink by just 0.1%. Italy, Greece, France, and China could each face declines nearing 1%. In the United States, heat waves are projected to reduce economic output by 0.6%.

Crazy how the Democrats, who “are the same” as Republicans, all voted against gutting healthcare and creating a police state, while all but 3 Republicans voted for it. One of these things is not like the other.
The biggest problem with the Democratic establishment is while they will block the most insane shit possible. They also enable the most insane shit possible.
People are done and tired of centrism, which normalizes economic policies that damage Americans. Embrace of neoliberalism by democratic centric is their chief problem.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai @mcnado recently saw this stated as "they think their job is to meditate between the oppressors and the oppressed"
I think that hits the nail on the head, and certainly explains all the half measures.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell really it doesn’t begin to explain who this “establishment” is. And the typo is just plain distracting. Pointing an accusing finger at “them” doesn’t provide any way to measure or act on the outrage you profess.
@aardvark I don’t know how old you are, but if you’ve been around for a couple of decades, you’ll notice that the political leadership which sticks around for an extraordinary long time our individuals that sit a top a donation network as well as a patronage network. The patronage network consist of businesses who work in politics with consultants that then the other thing..
@aardvark And occasionally, you’ll be privy to news which reveals that these businesses and individuals who work and politics are under a very tight leash. If they cross somebody like a Pelosi or the equivalent on the Republican side and choose you know first amendment choose to support a progressive, and Nancy doesn’t like it, they won’t have any work anymore.
And the leadership of why the party just happens to have a remarkable amount of investment in the stock market.
@aardvark This generally means that their investment interest now align with business. And while the Democrats can also be very pro-labor, they walk fairly thin line and largely on the side of business rather than unabashedly working for the interest of the the public in general, especially people who work for wages.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @aardvark The characterization of those saying they are the same is misleading and falls into the trap of one side good, one bad, when they're both shit but to different degrees. Harris wouldn't have fucked things up so badly for sure but it is ALSO clear that Dems have failed SO horribly in being responsive to people and planet that they lose to a nazi asshole like Trump. WE NEED BETTER--but at this point?
It’s amazing how this thread filled up with “but Democrats won’t immediately give me <insert policy here> and I want it now!”
To those critics, I offer another thought: if you sit on the sidelines, never voting until a candidate offers you everything on your wishlist, you will never get closer to your ideals. Because you knew that Trump would actually move us AWAY FROM whatever it is you wanted.
At least we don’t have anybody here pretending Harris would have been doing the same things Trump is doing. Because I have LITERALLY seen that nonsense on Fedi. I’m not sure how detached from reality one must be to not see the differences between a year ago and today.
@mls14 But she still LOST to that felon nazi...THAT requires serious consideration. The fact the DNC has also viciously gone after actual progressive candidates to primary shits like Cuellars, etc. underscores the failure of the corporate, neoliberal philosophy of the Dem party.
If you look at old silent movies, they were played at different speeds in different cinemas and projections. There wasn't a standard way to play a movie, no "you NEED to play the movie at this specific speed or it will be ruined". I'm not saying the same should apply to modern movies, but I find it interesting.

hey, if you're an American living in the USA, one little thing you can do is help make it absolutely socially unacceptable to work for ICE. what does this look like? say it to your friends and family. bring it up casually. post about it. make it an issue in your neighborhood if one of your neighbors gets a job with ICE or DHS. ostracize and exclude. you don't have to be rude, just make sure people know it's an ethical/moral choice you don't accept.
So touching--the 6 Supine Court bigots preserve parents' "right" to deny their children a full education in order to misinform and lie to them. So respectable.
Ways I know gas is too cheap: parked between two vehicles sitting there idling, one with a driver (with the AC on and the windows open(!)), one without.
Went into the store, came out, both still idling.
This is one of those things that electric cars would really help with.
It is worth noting that this is technically illegal in Massachusetts, but basically never enforced. (You get five minutes of idling, less if you're a big truck or someone complains or you're near an air intake.)
When I lived in the Boston area I felt like it was extremely common to see people parked on the road idling with the AC or heat on. I always assumed these were people like real estate agents who were waiting on someone. Still, lots of needless waste that might not be happening if people were more attentive.
A new series of studies finds that people who doubt they're respected or admired by others are less likely to acknowledge other people's contributions.

Genuine Question. Even if I look at hungarian Transport, and they to this day use trains from the UdSSR, they come more consistantly then the DB.
They are really Bad sometimes, with like 20 seperate prices: Theres the bayernwald ticket that only works in the alps, then theres the official ticket to the destination. Theres a special offer, but only in the very special APP. You can use a d-ticket, but look! Some random ass slum in the middle of the worlds ass dosent accept that, but it does the MVV zone Tickets. But then you need the MVV zone 11-M, a ticket to the beginning to the Nürnberg zones, and a ticket for the Nürnberg zones.
And yet this shit is better than americas rails? How?
Am I in the minority, thinking that the London Underground is actually pretty amazing? Wherever I was across the huge area the city takes up, I rarely needed to check a timetable- There would be a station within walking distance, I could be relatively confident that a train would turn up within fifteen minutes and get me to basically anywhere in London in fairly short order.
Don't even need an Opal card- just tap your phone or your bank card.
The network is also massive. You can tap on in Kiama and tap off in Scone. That's about 400km, roughly equivalent to Berlin to Frankfurt, on regular metro trains. Might take a while, but you can do it.

"Jurnalul de realitate" poate fi un instrument puternic în procesul de refacere a percepției după o experiență cu un narcisist. 📖✨
După ce ai trecut prin manipulare narcisistă, mintea poate fi plină de confuzie și îndoieli despre ce este real și ce nu. Scrisul într-un jurnal te ajută să-ți ancorezi gândurile în realitate, să-ți observi sentimentele și să discerni între faptele obiective și distorsiunile create de abuz.
Acest proces sprijină consolidarea propriei identități și recapătă încrederea în propria judecată. Este un spațiu sigur unde îți poți procesa experiențele fără teama de a fi criticat sau invalidat.
Dacă te lupți cu efectele unui narcisist, încearcă să ții un "jurnal de realitate" zilnic — notează ce s-a întâmplat, cum te-ai simțit și ce înveți despre tine în fiecare zi. Pas cu pas, îți vei recăpăta perspectiva. 💪🌱 #NarcissisticAbuseRecovery #MentalHealth #SelfCare
