A visiting American nurse tried to save Awdah Hathaleen's life after he was shot by one of he Israelis carrying out a pogrom. Once he was in an ambulance she worked on helping an unconscious Palestinian. This was her duty as a

[2/2] medic. The Israeli government considered her practice of medicine on Palestinians so vicious that it arrested her, and soon after deported her. While in jail, she says, she saw other jailed Palestinian prisoners bound and blindfolded, while Yinon Levi (suspected of killing Awdah) was walking almost freely and the prison guards were joking with him. Blocking medical workers from reaching wounded Palestinians is a frequent murder tactic in Palestinian territories.

λοιπόν, ήμουν 3 μέρες στο Κότορ, πολλά κρουαζιερόπλοια αλλά, κατέβαιναν τα γκρουπς, έκαναν μια βόλτα στην καστροπολιτεία, αγόραζαν παγωτό, αναμνηστικά και πάλι πίσω στο πλοίο.

Η κρουαζιέρα δεν αφήνει χρήματα στην τοπική αγορά, εκτός από ελάχιστες περιπτώσεις.

et douceur de faire partager notre opinion. Mais quand nous
sommes dans notre tort — ce qui se produit avec une fréquence
étonnante, si nous avons la franchise de l’admettre —,
reconnaissons notre erreur promptement et de bon coeur. Non
seulement nous constaterons des résultats surprenants, mais
encore ce sera beaucoup plus amusant que d’essayer de nous

An open letter to Jews, on Gaza:

The Jewish people have moral frameworks for this moment.
It is a choice not to heed them.

Our Rabbis taught, “Give sustenance to the poor of the non-Jews along with the poor of Israel. Visit the sick of the non-Jews along with the sick of Israel. Bury the dead of the non-Jews along with the dead of Israel. [Do all these things] because of the ways of peace.” (Talmud Gittin 61a

Hohner #harmonica. It might be a "Little Lady," it might be a "Mini." It has features of both. Lanyard and reed plates match the Little Lady, but it doesn't say "Little Lady" on either cover plate. I suspect they may have run out of that part and just used the side that says "Hohner" twice.

Anyway, it's an oddball -- unlike every other tiny harmonica I've seen, it's not in the key of C, but the key of A. I can't find anything online about Hohner making these things in unusual keys. It's not like there's any reason a professional harmonica player would want one of each in all keys...

Someday, I'd like to find the similar, off-brand "Pee-Wee" harmonica, after which Paul Rubens named his character.

I think I've figured out the cover plate. If all the Little Lady top cover plates that say "Little Lady" were already stamped "C", and you were making a A harp, the only cover plate available that was unstamped would be a bottom plate that says "Hohner." So you stamp it "A" and use it as a top cover plate. Thus, the Little Lady in A has two bottom plates. God, I'm boring myself now.

Die Verbindung von Microsoft zum Genozid in Gaza ist nur eines von vielen Beispielen, wie Krieg durch Technik permanent wird. Ein Zustand dauerhafter Unsicherheit, ein wachsendes Netz staatlicher und korporativer Überwachung und der kontinuierlichen Produktion von Rüstungs- und Überwachungsgütern. Mit jeder Bewegung im öffentlichen Raum, mit jedem Telefonat, liefern wir das Futtter für die künftige Zielauswahl.

Der Spätsommer steht schon in den Startlöchern, ... und der #Rainfarn gehört zu den typischen Spätsommerblumen. Viele Insekten und auch der kleine #Feuerfalter sitzen oft auf diesen Blüten, zum "nektarschlürfen" oder zum "sonnenbaden".

@gme And its the same MOFOs who lost their shit at that who are the ones trumpeting 2A rights and yammering on nonstop about government transparency and swamps and going back to your constitutional roots. And yet this is blatant, visible to all no-guff tyrrany right here. So those MAGA idiots SHOULD be losing their absolute shit over this. (I mean, we know why - captured media etc.)

I really really am starting to get concerned for you guys (I love most of you, you're all mostly really nice)

I just got done talking to both of my Senators' offices and my Representative's office and alerting them about this.

One of my Senator's their aide was very alarmed and concerned about this and when I spoke with my Rep their office said I was the 2nd person to call them about this.

So.....

People are noticing and making their (our) voices heard at least.

Thanks for getting the word out about this!

in reply to Third spruce tree on the left

The reality is any changes made to congress.gov are mostly symbolic. The version of the Constitution published there -- even by the Library of Congress -- isn't the official Constitution. That's still a paper document and that's held at The National Archives.

But it doesn't look good that's for sure, and is symbolic of this regime's continued gas lighting of the American public.

When we (the US) gets out of this quagmire (and we will eventually get out of it) I think of the biggest changes to come will be such a huge scaling back in the powers of the Executive Branch. That branch of Government is going to be neutered to prevent all this mess from happening again.

“GROK, summarize this way too long shitpost, point out any grammatical errors, lack of punctuation etc. Then judge the statements made against common logical fallacies and see if they are consistent with everything else this person has ever said.

Organize this into a witty response that will fit inside the character limits and make this person believe I have read and care about their opinion.”

It’s like therapy, I’m helping this person work through whatever issue they have by getting it out of their system and it takes basically no effort from me.

Plus if they are arguing with grok via my relay they aren’t off causing more harm and mayhem somewhere else.

It’s almost a public service really.

Most people I want to talk to, others…

It’s one thing to run a conspiracy out of the Oval Office to deprive the nation of a peaceful transfer of power using fraudulent intelligence. That’s bad enough. But what is it called when you, as a coup-plotting member of the Executive Branch, with a death grip on that fraudulent intelligence, then try to get the Legislative Branch to literally sign on to it?
