BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.

From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."

I've seen this first-hand in research I'm doing on parenting apps. 1/🧵

If only there were a term, maybe French in origin, that describes when one Party consolidates political 'Power' under their President, denies the loss of an election, works to rig elections, demands loyalty oaths, threatens political opponents, and deploys secret police to target "undesirables" ...🤔

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

I feel like too many of our politicians would be out-smarted by a Tarsier. Its brain weighs less than either of its eyes.

For a redeeming quality, no Tarsier has never funded a Genocide, and would never support "ICE".

the tarsier is like a small teddy bear... #truefacts #tarsier

He claims he's "Left of Center", despite his salute, and gaslighting "jokes, and puns" about it, and:

- Supporting the Right-Wing neo-NAZI AfD, telling them to "get over" their shame of having been NAZIs.

- More recently, allegedly funding the "Advance UK" Right-Wing Christian-Nationalist Party.

They look like Nazi salutes. Here's why some people think they're a joke

Multiple people have given stiff-arm salutes after Elon Musk did it twice on Inauguration Day. Many claim it was a joke but extremism experts worry the once-taboo salute is getting normalized.

You may want to take a look at what actions count as a "Self-Coup". He's performed all but one, which he can't until January, 2029.

One would think you'd have figured this out since the GOP began with "Election Denial" in 2020, given how many Coups we've supported in other nations over the decades.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/self-coup

noun
a coup d'état performed by the current, legitimate government or a duly elected head of state to retain or extend control over government, through an additional term, an extension of term, an expansion of executive power, the dismantling of other government branches, or the declaration that an election won by an opponent is illegitimate.

Said "events of that day" being the J6 failed insurrection by MAGA.🙄🤣

Mike Johnson’s January 6 Tape Confession Destroys GOP’s Favorite Talking Point
The House speaker announced Republicans are editing the January 6 tapes. That ruins one of their main arguments about what happened that day.

December 5, 2023 / 1:53 p.m. ET

House Speaker Mike Johnson just accidentally obliterated the Republican Party’s favorite conspiracy theory: that the January 6 insurrection was carried out by undercover federal agents and members of antifa.

Johnson told a press conference Tuesday that the GOP is editing footage of the insurrection to prevent the Justice Department from potentially identifying rioters.

“We have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ,” he said.

I was going to recommend their Mastodon Instance, but it's in invite-only recently, and since I'm out of the field, I'm not sure where an alternate community is congregating these days.😅

They *tend* to be more professional in forums/etc., but phases of 'reactionaries' swarm through now & then.😅

File-server, hard to beat FreeBSD. It'll basically be like setting it up on a Linux, just some slightly different paths, and updating. Lucas' books are a great resource.

I used to recommend TrueNAS, but I've been out of the field for a while, and haven't run it lately.

Also, I've had Reaper.fm running more reliably on it. Ubuntu was giving me hiccups and random stutters in recordings when I tested it a few months ago.

I need a new hdd to shuffle files through to swap other drives from ntfs to a native filesystem. btrfs or something.😅 Money's tight, though.

Depending on the type of server you need, FreeBSD is solid.
GhostBSD (FreeBSD based) is a nice desktop, easy to get into.

The one I use most is OpenBSD with CWM for writing. No distractions on that laptop.😂

I'm going with Fedora for FoundryVTT and games I play with my in-laws' and their kids.

I'm generally agnostic on Distros.
I'm a BSD guy, but Fedora's been stable for me.

Just trying to help people realize what's going to be happening today and tomorrow for this update, and that there's options available.

Windows Update 25H2 is here.

If you're still on Windows 10, get ready to be screwed.

I just got the first nag to update. I'll be upgrading to Fedora (Linux) today.

25H2 is pushing AI "CoPilot" that you can't disable.🙄
That's a bridge way too far, for me.

The teacher speaking is Mr. McCant at Lovejoy High School in Clayton County, Georgia.

Is this what is being taught to students? It's no wonder people are feeling stressed, but it's the left indoctrinating people. 🙄

Would this be considered grooming?
