@virge My black cat makes that same sound when he plays with his jingle ball! @LibertyForward1
@housepanther While I agree with you in general here, when an emergency hits, the Salvation Army hits the ground and helps everyone, unlike the American Red Cross which sits back and watches until it’s almost over and then races in to take credit. @irenes @merileedkarr
@EyalL The important part of the article is towards the end where it reminds us “The map is labelled “British Mandate Palestine”, yet fails to show that the Mandate initially included Transjordan. Furthermore, the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine did not commence until 1922. At the start of 1917 , Palestine was still part of the Ottoman Empire, following whose defeat in World War 1 the area came under interim government by the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration.” @Miriamm
@selzero An unintended criteria? Nah, I just preferred most of the characters in the reboot.
@jeffowski That’s beautiful!
@selzero Sparkling for me, please.
@tofugolem Like the song says “everyone’s a little bit racist.”
2. “Armed resistance.” Attacking a military base is armed resistance, which is legitimate — as is a military response to it. Slitting the throats of civilians on the streets and taking women and children hostage is not. It is a crime under international law. (2/3)
Nothing “military” about this - straight-up terror attack, with civilians as the explicit target. Of course, we’ve witnessed this from Hamas for years but the scale and brutality of this is unprecedented.
Future generations are going to look at this generation’s laxity with genetic data and privacy in the sane way we look back at smoking, Jim Crow laws and fossil fuels.
You can’t change your genetic data like you can a password and once it gets out it not only affects you both your relatives and your offspring.
You carry a gene for a chronic disease that’s inherited? Now insurance companies know that about you, your kids and grandkids.
Unbelievable privacy self own.
BREAKING NEWS
Hamas has fired a barrage of more than 150 rockets at Tel Aviv in the past hour.
