"TV presenter Rachel Riley, who is #Jewish, noted on social media that national flags were not suggested for other capitals.
#Apple has told the BBC that the change - which followed a recent software update - was not intentional.
The issue will be remedied in a future software update, Apple says, but it is not known how rapidly this will happen.

'Showing double standards with respect to #Israel is a form of #antisemitism'" said Ms. Riley.

@midacre It was quoted in a YA book many *many* years ago. That’s what I know it from. I just can’t remember what it was…. @SrRochardBunson
@crooksandliars Tuberville is a freakin traitor. #traitor
Via Ryan Reilly:
Numerous #Jan 6 defendants have confessed they now feel like idiots for being gullible enough to fall for ham-fisted lies about the 2020 election.
The House Speaker and Republican presidential nominee, meanwhile, are planning a press conference about "election integrity." #Trump #SpeakerJohnson
@w7voa How can this be possible when the MSM keeps saying Israel is interdicting or destroying all humanitarian aid?!
Today I talked to someone who said, Trump would win in November.
I asked, "Do you agree, Biden won in 2020?"
— "Yes."
"Okay. What specifically has Trump done since 2020, which has improved his chances of winning?"
— "Well… not much."
"Right", I said. "Then look at what Biden has done for ordinary people: Cheaper medicine, more jobs, the economy back on track. Will that make Trump win?"
(Very long pause)
— "You may have a point."
It is all a feeling — two questions, and reality sets in.
@SrRochardBunson I thought it was ontology recapitualates phylogeny. But what is that from? Why is it so familiar?
@dogzilla @AlliFlowers Contemporary Christianity in America is based on the exact opposite of their messiah's teachings.
Punishing people for doing what's right is a shitty way to run society.
Case-in-point: Liz Cheney lost her job for standing against Trump & she's still losing opportunities.
"A famed news photographer who worked for former [President Ford]...has resigned from the late president's foundation saying its executive committee rejected ... Liz Cheney for an award three times because members fear retribution from former President Donald Trump if he is reelected this year."
@w7voa But will they vote for him anyway?
There is something seriously wrong with #Christofascists, like #MikeHuckabee. It's a rot that's based deep in their #Christian genes. It's a lack of #humanity and decency that they justify with performative piety. And it also reflects a sadistic, corrupt worldview in which education is for suckers, and those who got saddled with unpayable loans deserve their suffering.

@bobjmsn If she were half intelligent she would see that we are already screaming and begging for a ceasefire. Hamas refuses over and over again to cooperate or return our loved ones. Maybe she’s just willing to allow the innocent hostages to die in place of Palestinians? @DemocracyMattersALot

@killick I have made a single exception to the movie/book rule, and that was with GoT. After watching season 1, I had to be assured that Geoffrey would die the agonizing death he deserved, so I read the series. Then, of course, by the end of the show it had veered wildly from the books, even though the first 3 seasons followed pretty closely.
